CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Let's spend time with the players, shall we? Jessica Burr is a book editor from New Jersey who has a job that most of us, I think, have seen performed in the past, but it's a very rare thing. Tell us about it, Jessica.
Jessica: Well, I turn pages at chamber music concerts. Uh, when a pianist is a accompanying a soloist, when they're part of a chamber group, uh, they're reading music up on the piano, but they're--both of their hands are busy, so they can't--they don't have, uh, they don't have time to turn the page, so that's where I come in.
Alex: All right, obviously you read music. Do you also play music?
Jessica: I used to.
Alex: You used to?
Jessica: Yeah.
Alex: And did you have a page turner yourself?
Jessica: Uh, when I played chamber music, yes.
Alex: Okay, good for you.
Jessica: Yes.
Alex: Now Amit Kurlekar from Oakland, California, an attorney, and a young man who wanted to be an attorney for a long, long time, ever since he saw a marvelous film many years ago. What was the movie?
Amit: It was 12 Angry Men, Alex.
Alex: Oh, a great example of how our justice system works in America. Henry Fonda the star. How did that inspire you?
Amit: It just made me think that it was a worthwhile thing, to go and be part of the justice system.
Alex: Okay, good for you.
Alex: Justin, you're a new father, relatively new. You have a what, a 2 year old?
Justin: I have a 2 year, uh, Ben is 2 1/2 years old, and, uh, Matthew will be, um, uh, 4 next month.
Alex: Who's the more difficult one to deal with?
Justin: Well, they both have their, uh, their challenging parts. Um, Ben is a very "no"-centric child right now. I'm sure he'll grow out of it, but it's, uh, it's been challenging at times. It's an adjustment.
Alex: Been there, done that.
