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

whose dog is this

What do you mean whose dog you refuse to board without him the board is to get on an airplane or ship
