00:21
This means, "I'm smiling."
0
21330
3000
Això vol dir que ric
00:24
So does that.
1
24330
3000
I això també
00:27
This means "mouse."
2
27330
2000
Això és un ratolí
00:29
"Cat."
3
29330
2000
Un gat
00:32
Here we have a story.
4
32330
2000
Aquí tenim un conte.
00:34
The start of the story, where this means guy,
5
34330
3000
Al principi del conte, on això és un noi,
00:37
and that is a ponytail on a passer-by.
6
37330
5000
i això una cua en una que passava per allà
00:44
Here's where it happens.
7
44330
3000
Això és on passa
00:47
These are when.
8
47330
2000
I això quan.
00:49
This is a cassette tape the girl puts into her cassette-tape player.
9
49330
3000
Aquesta és la cinta de cassette que la noia posa a la seva reproductora de cassettes.
00:52
She wears it every day.
10
52330
2000
La porta cada dia.
00:54
It's not considered vintage --
11
54330
1000
No la considera vintage
00:55
she just likes certain music to sound a certain way.
12
55330
2000
únicament li agrada que certa música soni de certa manera.
00:57
Look at her posture; it's remarkable.
13
57330
2000
Mireu la seva postura, és sorprenent.
00:59
That's because she dances.
14
59330
2000
Això és perquè sap ballar
01:01
Now he, the guy, takes all of this in, figuring,
15
61330
2000
I ara, el noi, ho assimila tot, pensant,
01:03
"Honestly, geez, what are my chances?"
16
63330
4000
"Sincerament, per favor, quines possibilitats tinc?"
01:07
(Laughter)
17
67330
1000
(Rialles)
01:08
And he could say, "Oh my God!"
18
68330
3000
I podria dir, "Senyor, Déu meu!"
01:11
or "I heart you!"
19
71330
2000
o "m'agrades!"
01:13
"I'm laughing out loud."
20
73330
2000
Ric de forma descontrolada.
01:15
"I want to give you a hug."
21
75330
2000
Et vull abraçar.
01:17
But he comes up with that, you know.
22
77330
2000
Però ara se li acut, ja saps.
01:19
He tells her, "I'd like to hand-paint your portrait on a coffee mug."
23
79330
4000
Li diu "M'agradaria pintar a mà el teu retrat en una tassa de cafè."
01:23
(Laughter)
24
83330
2000
(Rialles)
01:25
Put a crab inside it.
25
85330
2000
Posa-hi un cranc.
01:27
Add some water.
26
87330
2000
Afegeix-hi aigüa.
01:29
Seven different salts.
27
89330
2000
Set sals diferents.
01:31
He means he's got this sudden notion to stand on dry land,
28
91330
3000
Té aquella repentina sensació d'estar sobre terra ferma,
01:34
but just panhandle at the ocean.
29
94330
2000
però simplement parant la mà a l'oceà.
01:36
He says, "You look like a mermaid, but you walk like a waltz."
30
96330
6000
Ell li diu, "T'assembles a una sirena però camines com si ballessis un vals"
01:42
And the girl goes, "Wha'?"
31
102330
4000
I ella li replica "Quèeee?"
01:47
So, the guy replies, "Yeah, I know, I know.
32
107330
2000
I ell li diu, "Sí, ho sé, ho sé.
01:49
I think my heartbeat might be the Morse code for inappropriate.
33
109330
3000
potser el meu ritme cardíac és el codi Morse del que no és apropiat.
01:52
At least, that's how it seems.
34
112330
2000
Com a mínim, és el que sembla.
01:54
I'm like a junior varsity cheerleader sometimes --
35
114330
4000
Sóc com una animadora d'equip universitari de vegades -
01:58
for swearing, awkward silences, and very simple rhyme schemes.
36
118330
5000
pels insults, els silencis molestos i les rimes massa senzilles.
02:03
Right now, talking to you, I'm not even really a guy.
37
123330
5000
Ara mateix, parlant amb tu, no sóc ni un home.
02:08
I'm a monkey --
38
128330
2000
Sóc un mico,
02:10
(Laughter) --
39
130330
1000
(Rialles)
02:11
blowing kisses
40
131330
2000
repartint petons
02:13
at a butterfly.
41
133330
2000
a una papallona.
02:15
But I'm still suggesting you and I should meet.
42
135330
3000
Però encara crec que tu i jo hem de quedar.
02:18
First, soon, and then a lot.
43
138330
5000
Primer, aviat, i després molt.
02:23
I'm thinking the southwest corner of 5th and 42nd at noon tomorrow,
44
143330
4000
Potser podríem quedar a la cantonada de la 5a amb la 42, demà al migdia,
02:27
but I'll stay until you show up, ponytail or not.
45
147330
4000
m'hi quedaré fins que t'hi presentis, amb cua o sense.
02:31
Hell, ponytail alone.
46
151330
2000
Diantres, encara que només sigui amb cua.
02:33
I don't know what else to tell you.
47
153330
2000
No sé què més dir-te.
02:35
I got a pencil you can borrow.
48
155330
2000
Tinc un llapis per deixar-te.
02:37
You can put it in your phone."
49
157330
3000
Te´l pots posar al mòvil.
02:40
But the girl does not budge, does not smile, does not frown.
50
160330
8000
Però la noia no s'inmuta, no riu ni s'arrufa
02:48
She just says, "No thank you."
51
168330
4000
Només diu, "No, gràcies."
02:52
You know?
52
172330
2000
Saps?
02:56
[ "i don't need 2 write it down." ]
53
176330
6000
[ "No necessito escriure-ho." ]
03:02
(Applause)
54
182330
