So it appears i've gotten a piercing mm-hmm marie
why does your arm say marie ooh
Whose dog is this what do you mean whose dog you refused to board without him i did
Let's go i don't remember my bag being this heavy
Uh-oh!
why the tenants prepare for takeoff a flight attendant is a person whose job is to look after
Passengers who are travelling on a plane the takeoff is the moment when an airplane starts to ascend and the flight begins
note that when it's a noun it's written as one word
for example the takeoff is at five but when it's a verb it's written as two words for example it takes off at five
what does cuidado mean i think it means sleep tight
sleep tight is a common collocation used to tell someone that you wish they sleep nicely for example good night sleep tight
Joke, here is that cuidado doesn't mean sleep tight it actually is a spanish equivalent before be careful
did we land
To land is the opposite of to take off when a plane
Lands it touches the ground in the flight ends for example the plane lands at 7:00
To head or to head back as a verb to head means to go toward a place
For example to head for the bus stop is the same as to go to the bus stop when you add back after this word
it means to return for example they headed back home when it started getting dark a
Gate in the airport is the exit door or tunnel from the terminal or the interior part of the airport, to the airplane right
gather your things we're gonna
Find another one to gather your things is to collect or grab your things so that you can take them somewhere or leave
For example she gathered her things and went out through the back door to scramble is to move or do something
Hurriedly or quickly for example the company opened an office in town and is scrambling to hire employees
ok, mr
pritchett there is a connecting flight through dallas at leaves in five minutes you can hurry
Connecting flight if you have a connecting flight it means that instead of taking one direct flight you take two or more flights arriving at
other airports on your way to your final destination
So catch is to get on a bus a train or a plane
In order to travel somewhere for example we need to catch a taxi to the airport did you understand yeah understand
did you understand write it down write it down
gate 32 write it down okay
why, is she so angry it's an obvious she's totally into me she's totally into me if you're into someone it means you're interested in
that person romantically excuse me sir sir
sir are you the proprietor of this haberdashery can you point me in the direction of your finest sports caps a
Proprietor is a person who owns a business or property for example she is a proprietor of the building
haberdashery is a very uncommon formal word meaning the seller of men's clothing
Fine we use this word to describe something of high quality we also commonly use it in the
Superlative as in the finest for example spain and france produce some of the finest wines in the world oh?

What, team okay i'm not sure why that's relevant
okay what team
Playing for the other team is a way of saying that you're gay so when the guys ask what team can thinks he was asking
if he was gay or straight which means heterosexual
Oh, trouble i don't know he sounds bad to be in trouble is to be in a threatening or difficult situation to describe the action
We say to get in trouble for example he got in trouble with the police
mad means angry or upset don't you
Don't you don't don't you dare don't you dare is used to angrily tell someone not, to do something
For example don't you dare tell dad i scratched his car i cannot go to dallas without you i cannot
you i
cannot go to dallas without you oh
knock it off
you're gonna suck it up you're gonna pull your act together knock it off is used to tell someone
To stop doing something that annoys you for example knock it off you two you've been making noise all day
suck it up is used for saying that someone has to accept a difficult or
Unpleasant situation even if they don't want to for example he never paid attention in class
So when the final exam arrived he had to suck it up and study twice as hard pull your act together
It's to start to organize yourself, so that you can deal with something
Effectively or achieve what you want for example she's failed the same exam three times in a row
i wish you'd pull her act together and study him well thank you so much you are a life savings hurry a
Life saver is literally a flotation device to save people in the ocean
figuratively it means something or someone that provides help in a moment you desperately need it for example when i lost all my money in
asia my credit card was a lifesaver
Mr. Tucker mr. Pritchett you made it just in time to make it is to successfully get
To or arrive at some place it implies a challenge because
To make it takes effort for example i'm not sure we're gonna make it on time
remember being in dallas so we must have slept through it
to sleep through something is to fail to pay attention or notice something because you were sleeping for example i slept through five alarm clocks
So it appears i've gotten a piercing
Mm-hmm!
a
Piercing there's a small hole made in different parts of the body like the ears or nose to put a ring or another piece of?
jewelry
