（单词翻译）

 　　Patricia: What are you doing?

 
　　Luis: I’m setting up a practical joke for Bobby. I can’t wait to see the look on his face when he walks outside and finds his bike in pieces. It’ll be the best prank1 ever!
 
　　Patricia: You’re not really going to take apart his bike, are you?
 
　　Luis: I’ll let you in on the joke. He’ll just be looking at spare parts. I’ve hidden his bike in the garage.
 
　　Patricia: He’s really going to freak out when he thinks that you’ve run over his bike with the car, though. I think this is more cruel than mischievous2.
 
　　Luis: Lighten up! When he realizes he’s the butt3 of the joke, he’ll think it’s hilarious4, trust me.
 
　　Patricia: Couldn’t you just play some other kind of practical joke, maybe with a whoopee cushion?
 
　　Luis: A whoopee cushion? That’s child’s play. This practical joke is worthy5 of a master prankster!
 
　　Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
