Listening Scripts FILE 1 Listening 1 Museum guide So, the painting we re looking at now is called Nighthawks by the American artist Edward Hopper, who was born in 12. Hopper finished the painting in 1942. Nighthawks came to Chicago a short time after that. As you can see, the painting is a scene in an American café late at night. There are three customers. They re sitting at the bar. The customers look like strangers. They aren t looking at each other and they aren t talking. There s also a barman. He s busy behind the bar and he isn t talking to his customers either. It s quite a lonely scene. The New York street outside the café is very dark. It s very bright inside the café. But it doesn t look warm and friendly in there at all. The word nighthawk like night owl describes a person who stays up late. So the three people at the bar are like nighthawks. The two men are wearing dark suits and hats. One of the men is smoking. He s sitting next to a woman. She s wearing a red dress with short sleeves. She has lovely long, red hair. She looks pretty but she isn t smiling. As you can see, the barman is wearing a white jacket and a white hat. He s looking outside. Maybe he wants to go home.
