Below is a script of interview with The Wright brothers.

Host              :  Hello and welcome to our talkshow tonight, Great Inventors!
                         Today we have very special guests, Orville and Wilbur Wright.
                         We are going to ask them about their revolutionary inventions.
                         What do you call your invention?

Orvillle         :  We invented airplane.

Host              :  Airplane? What is the tool for?

Wilbur          :  It’s a tool that will help human being to fly!

Host              :  Oohhh, is it like a flying car? How did you get the inspiration?

Orville          :  Our dad gave us a toy helicopter that flew with the help of
                         rubber bands. We’ve been interested in the idea since then.

Wilbur          :  Orville has always liked to build kites, so, we have experimented
                         with making our own helicopters for a while now.

Host              :  But that was only a toy, what about the actual plane?

Wilbur          :  Orville made the first flight with our first plane at Kitty Hawk
                         on December 14, 1903.

Host              :  Why did you choose Kitty Hawk?

Orville          :  Kitty Hawk had a hill, good breezes, and was sandy. The
                         condition would help soften the landings in case of a crash. The
                         first flight lasted 12 seconds and they flew for 120 feet.

Wilbur          :  We have worked and experimented with gliders to perfect the
                         wing design and controls since then.

Host              :  I see. So you’ve had the newest version of your airplane?

Wilbur          : Yes. Recently, I took a newly designed airplane that we called
                        the Flyer II for the first flight lasting over 5 minutes.

Host              :  How amazing! I think this invention will be a big thing soon.

Wilbur          :  Our father has asked us not to fly together. He said it’s for the
                         safety reason.

Orville          :  Yes, we will continue making more experiment so that airplane
will be available for everyone soon.

Host              :  Okay, we wish you good luck with the next experiments.
