\t(PK follows the lady to the storage area\uff0creceives the key for his cabinet and opens it.)<\/p>\n

\tPK:<\/strong> Now that I know where my locker is and that my membership is still valid, it’s time for a run. So let’s warm up for the next Chinese phrase. But first let’s get into something comfy.<\/p>\n

\t(PK heads towards the changing room.)<\/p>\n

\t(Enters a room and closes the door behind him. shortly a woman enters the same room. PK comes out embarrassed.)<\/p>\n

\tPK:<\/strong> Oh my God! That’s the ladies’ room. That’s so careless of me. To avoid getting yourself into trouble, note these two Chinese characters.<\/p>\n

\t(Two Chinese characters that stand for man and woman)<\/p>\n

\tPK:<\/strong> Even though you might come across the universal icons that distinguish between the ladies’ room and the men’s room. Yes! This means male, so this must be the men’s room. Let’s go.<\/p>\n

\t(The camera moves as if to enter the room with PK)<\/p>\n

\tPK:<\/strong> Ah! You thought I would let you in? This is the furthest to go. Wait here.<\/p>\n

\t(PK slums the door then opens it and comes out dressed for the gym.)<\/p>\n

\tPK: <\/strong>Good to go. You know what, I prefer doing light exercises, just for maintenance. I ’m not that kind of guy who goes for the hard body-building stuff. As you can see I have a long way to go. Let’s go.<\/p>\n

\t(PK on the treadmill running his breath out)<\/p>\n

\tPK:<\/strong> Yes, this is my favorite sport, but I guess some I’m going too fast. I don’t seem to slow this thing down.<\/p>\n

\tPK: <\/strong>\u6559\u7ec3\uff0c\u80fd\u5e2e\u6211\u8c03\u6162\u70b9\u5417\uff1f(Jiào liàn, nén\u0261 b\u0101n\u0261w\u01d2 diàomàndi\u01cen m\u0251?)<\/p>\n

\t(The coach adjusts the speed of the treadmill.)<\/p>\n

\tCoach:<\/strong> \u60a8\u770b\u8fd9\u901f\u5ea6\u53ef\u4ee5\u5417\uff1f(Nín kàn zhè sùdù kéy\u01d0 m\u0251?)
\tPK:<\/strong> \u597d\u591a\u4e86\u3002(H\u01ceodu\u014d le.)
\tPK:<\/strong> And also remember, before you start any kind of a workout, you’d better warm up, and this is the best way to do it, plus some stretches afterwards.<\/p>\n

\t(Suddenly the treadmill comes to a halt.)<\/p>\n

\tPK: <\/strong>\u4e3a\u4ec0\u4e48\u505c\u4e86\uff1fThe thing stopped. I guess I should call my coach again.<\/p>\n
