My friend Tamera is at the entrance of the high school where we are both teachers. She is trying to get ready to teach her Biology class. She is weighing each of the frogs on her food scale that her students are going to dissect today, making sure that they are all exactly the same weight. Unfortunately, the Rolling Stones mouth is being his usual annoying self, distracting her by shouting, LISTEN, LISTEN, look at me! Look at me! You're not LISTENING!! She puts her hands over her ears, so that she doesn't have to LISTEN to him anymore.

Ti actor and a MOUTH are robbing my mum's house.
Ti actor LISTENS outside the front door while the MOUTH is inside grabbing the loot.
The door opens and the mouth comes out very pleased, with a big bag full of things. Ti actor shakes it and LISTENS for what's inside. She frowns, and empties the bag - it's a KITCHEN SCALE. The mouth stands next to it looking very pleased with itself.
Ti actor slaps her head, the mouth didn't LISTEN to her again!

Tanya and I are outside (-eng) trying to fix the Food Scale. It's supposed to "ding!" once it hits a weight, but it's not working. The Giant Rolling Stones mouth is trying to get our attention, "Helloooo? Are you LISTENING to me?"
The Mouth bangs on the front door, trying to get our attention, but we're totally absorbed. Mouth starts singing 'Can't You Hear Me Knocking?' (by The Rolling Stones)
