Breakfast

While Watching :
Correct the mistakes in the dialogue :

Holly : Sally helps me with my accent. I've no head for languages at all, and I'm trying desperately to speak Spanish, you know, I told you. I just can't seem to. He makes me write down everything in there, what I get, what I say. I used to have a Czech accent. He made me get rid of that. He feels for me, anyway, that it's better to operate on a cash basis, tax-wise.
Sally : Some day, Mr. Fred, you take this book, turn it into a film. Everything is there, just fill-in a little of the details.
Holly : It certainly wouldn't be good for some laughs.
Sally : No, I don't think so. This is a book would break the heart. Mr. Fitzsimmons : powder-room, fifteen dollars. Less eight dollars repair one black satin hat. Rat food, seventeen cence...
Holly :
Darling, please stop, you're making me cry, but you're absolutely right about Jack Fitzsimmons. He's an absolute cat. I guess of course, I don't really know anybody but cats. Except of course, Fred here. You do think Fred looks nice, don't you, Sally?
Sally : For you, I think he is.
(WHISTLE)
Holly : Goodbye Uncle Sally, until next month.
Sally : Goodbye, and don't forget to send that magazine.
Paul : I won't.
Holly : Sally : Snow flurries expected this week in Los Angeles.
Holly : Snow flurries expected in Los Angeles? Isn't that just the weirdest? I bet they haven't had snow in Los Angeles for a thousand years. I don't know how he thinks them up.
