Conversation - Lara x Amanda

Hey Lara, what's up?

Hi Amanda. It's good to see you. You know what? I saved some money to buy my first  car ...but my boyfriend wants me to visit him.

What's the problem?

He doesn't know I am poor and don't have condition to pay the travelling ticket by myself.

What if you call him and telling him the truth?

I don't know...If I call him and tell it to him, maybe he won't date with me anymore.

In my oppinion , if he loves you, he will date you anyway.

What if I forget to buy my car and...

No way!  You dreamed to buy this car your whole life! Why you told him you were rich?

I thought that if he knew I were poor , he wouldn't be interested in me.

I can't belive that! You are so beautiful and interesting. If you had told him the truth since the beggining, you probably would have sent you the money for you to buy the ticket.

Oh my gosh! What am I supposed to do?

Where did you meet him?

I met him on a web dating site.

You mean , on internet?

Yeah! That's it! What's up?

What if he is a poor like you and he is just interested in taking your money away.

Oh my goodness! I really didn't think at this point. If you hadn't opened my eyes , I would have risked my life . Thanks a lot my friend!


Don't mention it! That's what friends are for!

Mariah Carey - Bye-Bye

Quando o Pai Celestial chama alguns de seus filhos para viver em Sua presença é muito difícil para os que ficam se despedir. As memòrias dos grandes momentos que passaram juntos e o intenso desejo de reviver esse período transforma o pesar em saudade. Impossível conter as lágrimas, impossível conter a emoção. Mariah Carey foi extremamente feliz ao retratar nessa bela música os sentimentos de quem perde um ente querido. Desejo a todos os que acompanham o Blog Low Intermediate da Plugnet um excelente final de semana. Até semana que vem!


.................................

Bye Bye - Mariah Carey

This is for my people's who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say goodbye

As a child there were the times
I didn't get it
But you kept me in line
I didn't know why
You didn't show up some times
On sunday mornings and I missed you
But I'm glad we talked through
All them grown folk things
Separation brings
You never let me know it
You never let it show
Because you loved me
And obviously
There's so much more left to say
If you were with me today
Face to face

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life rolls on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
I miss you but I try not cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
And the hardest thing to do is say
Bye bye

You never got a chance to see
How good I've done
And you never got to
See me back at number one
I wish that you were here
So we could celebrate together
I wish that we could
Spend the holidays together

I remember when you used to
Tuck me in at night
With the teddy bear you gave me
That I held so tight
I thought you were so strong
You'd make it through whatever
It's so hard to accept
The fact you're gone forever

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life rolls on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
I miss you but I try not cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
And the hardest thing to do is say
Bye bye

This is for my people's who just lost somebody
Your best friend, your baby
Your man or your lady
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Mamas, daddys, sisters, brothers
Friends and cousins
This is for my peoples who lost their grandmothers
Lift your head to the sky
Cause we will never say bye

I never knew I could hurt like this
And everyday life rolls on I wish
I could talk to you for a while
I miss you but I try not cry
As time goes by
And it's true that you've
Reached a better place
Still I'd give the world to see your face
And be right here next to you
But it's like you're gone too soon
And the hardest thing to do is say
Bye bye

This is for my people's who just lost somebody
Put your hand way up high
We will never say bye

Adeus - Mariah Carey

Essa é para as pessoas Que já perderam alguém
Seus melhores amigos, seus filhos
Seu homem ou sua mulher
Erga suas mãos para o céu
Nós nunca diremos adeus

Mães, pais, irmãs, irmãos
Amigos e primos
Essa é para o meu povo que perdeu suas avós
Levante sua cabeça ao céu
Porque nunca diremos adeus

Enquanto criança, houve tempos em que
Não compreendia,
mas você me mantinha na linha
Eu não sabia o porquê
Você não aparecia às vezes
Aos domingos de manhã e eu sentia sua falta
Mas estou feliz que conversamos sobre isso
Todos aqueles problemas de gente grande
Que as separações trazem
Você nunca me deixou saber
Você nunca demonstrou
Porque você me amava
e obviamente
Há muito ainda o que dizer
Se você estivesse aqui comigo hoje
cara a cara

Eu nunca soube que podia ser tão doloroso
E a cada dia que a vida passa eu desejo
Poder falar com você por um tempo
Sinto saudades mas eu tento não chorar
Enquanto o tempo passa
E é verdade que você
Atingiu um lugar melhor
Mas eu ainda daria o mundo para ver seu rosto
E estar bem a seu lado
Mas é como se você tivesse ido cedo demais
E agora a coisa mais difícil de fazer
É dizer adeus

Você nunca teve a oportunidade de ver
O bem que eu fiz
E você nunca teve a chance
De me ver de novo em primeiro lugar
Eu queria que você estivesse aqui
Para celebrarmos juntos
Eu queria que pudéssemos
Passar os feriados juntos

Eu lembro de quando você costumava
Embalar-me para dormir
Com o ursinho de pelúcia que me deu
E que eu abraçava bem forte
Eu achava que você era tão forte
Que iria passar por qualquer adversidade
É tão difícil aceitar o fato de que
Você se foi para sempre

Eu nunca soube que podia doer tanto
E a cada dia que a vida passa eu desejo
Poder falar com você por um tempo
Sinto saudades mas eu tento não chorar
Enquanto o tempo passa
E é verdade que você
Atingiu um lugar melhor
Mas eu ainda daria o mundo para ver seu rosto
E estar bem a seu lado
Mas é como se você tivesse ido cedo demais
E agora a coisa mais difícil de fazer
É dizer adeus

Essa é para o meu povo que já perdeu alguém
Seu melhor amigo, seu bebê
Seu homem ou sua mulher
Erga suas mãos para o céu
Nós nunca diremos adeus

Mães, pais, irmãs, irmãos
Amigos e primos
Essa é para o meu povo
Que perdeu suas avós
Levante sua cabeça ao céu
Porque nunca diremos adeus

Eu nunca soube que podia doer tanto
E a cada dia que a vida passa eu desejo
Poder falar com você por um tempo
Sinto saudades mas eu tento não chorar
Enquanto o tempo passa
E é verdade que você
Atingiu um lugar melhor
Mas eu ainda daria o mundo para ver seu rosto
E estar bem a seu lado
Mas é como se você tivesse ido cedo demais
E agora a coisa mais difícil de fazer
É dizer adeus

Então essa é para o meu povo que já perdeu alguém
Levante suas mãos para o céu
Porque nunca diremos adeus

Paramore - The only exception

Muitas vezes prometemos que nunca mais faremos certa coisa, tipo se apaixonar por alguém ou se deixar iludir por promessas ou coisas desse tipo. Mas nessa música da banda Paramore , veremos que sempre há uma exceção.



................................

The Only Exception - Paramore

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
And curse at the wind
He broke his own heart
And I watched
As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that
She would never let herself forget
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
If it does not exist

But darling,
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere
Deep in my soul
That love never lasts
And we've got to find other ways
To make it alone
Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this
Keeping a comfortable, distance
And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm content
With loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

I've got a tight grip on reality
But I can't
Let go of what's in front of me here
I know you're leaving
In the morning, when you wake up
Leave me with some kind of proof it`s not a dream

Ohh...

You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception
You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing
Oh, And I'm on my way to believing 

 

A Única Exceção - Banda Paramore

Quando eu era jovem
Eu vi meu pai chorar
E amaldiçoar o vento
Ele partiu seu próprio coração
E eu assisti
Enquanto ele tentava o recompor

E a minha mãe jurou que
Ela nunca mais se deixaria esquecer
E foi nesse dia que eu prometi
Que eu nunca cantaria sobre amor
Se ele não existisse

Mas querido,
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção

Talvez eu saiba, em algum lugar
No fundo da minha alma
Que o amor nunca dura
E temos que arranjar outros meios
De seguir em frente sozinhos
Ou ficar com uma cara boa

E eu sempre vivi assim
Mantendo uma distância confortável
Até agora
Eu tinha jurado a mim mesma que eu estava contente
Com a solidão

Porque nada disso algum dia valeu o risco, mas
Mas você é a única exceção
Mas você é a única exceção
Mas você é a única exceção
Mas você é a única exceção

Eu tenho uma forte noção de realidade
Mas eu não consigo
Deixar o que está na minha frente
Eu sei que você está partindo
Quando você acordar de manhã
Me deixe uma prova de que não é um sonho

Ohh...

Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção
Você é a única exceção

E eu estou a caminho de acreditar.
Oh, e eu estou a caminho de acreditar.

Jose Luis - I have but it seems to be very difficult to memorize all of them.
Selma - I understand.
Jose Luis - May I have some questions about it?
Selma - Ok. Go ahead!
José Luís- May I call my sister's husband by uncle?
Selma - No, you can't. Your uncle is your mother's or your father's brother. Your sister's husband is your brother-in-law.
Jose Luis - Really? If I had a brother , would his wife be my sister-in-law?
Selma - That's the ticket!
Jose Luis - How nice! Let me see if I understood the whole picture. My girlfriend's mother is my mother-in-law.
Selma - I'd say that she will be your mother-in-law if you marry your girlfriend.
Jose Luis - but may I call her like that ?
Selma - It's up to you. You can call her father like father-in-law...
Jose Luis - Oh my gosh! You are opening my mind. Now I can understand many things...my girlfriend's sister once said that I was her brother-in-law because I was dating her sister...now I know she is mine too. That's awesome! ...I think I'm her parents ' son-in-law...
Selma - You are going to blow the roof of the mother with this homework.

3- Altamir x Teacher
Altamir - Hello Teacher! How are you?
Teacher - I'm fine ! What about you?
Altamir - I'm getting on my nerves with this relationship stuff!
Teacher - You got excellent grades last time. I think you will do it ok.
Altamir - Thanks a lot teacher! Well, could you please explain me the difference between a step-sister and half-sister? I'm getting bored to death trying to figure it out.
Teacher - half sisters have one biological parent in common, by the other hand , step sister is only related through marriage. Like if your dad remarries,( I hope it never happens ) his new wife's kids would be your step brothers and step sisters.
Altamir- My dad loves my mom too much and we will be together for good! I think I understood ...let me see ...If Jackeline my oldest sister were just my father's daughter , she would be my half-sister, wouldn't she?
Teacher - That's the ticket!
Altamir - Come to think of it, if my father marries again his new wife's children would be my step-siblings, alright?
Teacher - Yeah! but as you told me before , this will never happen...
Altamir - I don't wanna any "step - something" in my life...I'm happy with the family I have...
Teacher - I agree! You have a big happy family!
Altamir - Let's get back to the relationships , alright? My mother's mother is my grand-mother , am I right?
Teacher - Ask your grand-father...
Altamir - I got it! What about my grand-mother's mom?
Teacher - Great question! Great answer ! Your grand-mother's mom had a great life for living so much time ...and for this reason she will be forever your great-grandmother.
Altamir - And my grand-father's dad is , without no doubt, my great-grandfather...That's the ticket! Teacher - Hey you! This expression belongs to me!
Altamir - I watched a gangster movie where the famous hollywood actor Al Pacino was called "The God -father" ...What does God -father means?
Teacher - I watched this flick too, it was awesome! Al Pacino is one of the most perfect actor of the world. He was called " The God-father" because he was chosen to be somebody's God- Father. It's a religious term.
Altamir- Do you have a God-father , teacher?
Teacher - If I have one I don't know him yet...but I'm sure I have a God who lives in the Heaven and He is my spiritual father.
Altamir - If my mother marries again , how would I call her new husband?
Teacher - Do you remember that 'step relationship?
Altamir- Step-something again?
Teacher - Yeah! Step-father
Altamir - Oh my gosh! Step- mother, step-sister,step - brother ...stop! I can't take it anymore!
Teacher - As far as I'm concerned you have material enough for your homework.

Altamir - Like what?
Teacher - You better finish your homework.

Video Class - Friends part 2

Monica: (spitting out her drink in shock) Oh God, oh God, I am sorry... I am so sorry...

Paul: It's okay...

Monica: I know being spit on is probably not what you need right now. Um... how long?

Paul: Two years.

Monica: Wow! I'm-I'm-I'm glad you smashed her watch!

Paul: So you still think you, um... might want that fifth date?

Monica: (pause)...Yeah. Yeah, I do.

[Scene: Monica's Apartment, Rachel is watching Joanne Loves Chaci.]

Priest on TV: We are gathered here today to join Joanne Louise Cunningham and Charles, Chachi-Chachi-Chachi, Arcola in the bound of holy matrimony.

Rachel: Oh...see... but Joanne loved Chachi! That's the difference!

[Scene: Ross's Apartment, they're all sitting around and talking.]

Ross: (scornful) Grab a spoon. Do you know how long it's been since I've grabbed a spoon? Do the words 'Billy, don't be a hero' mean anything to you?

Joey: Great story!  But, I uh, I gotta go, I got a date with Andrea--Angela--Andrea...  Oh man, (looks to Chandler)

Chandler: Angela's the screamer, Andrea has cats.

Joey: Right.  Thanks.  It's June.  I'm outta here. (Exits.)

Ross: Y'know, here's the thing. Even if I could get it together enough to- to ask a woman out,... who am I gonna ask? (He gazes out of the window.)

[Cut to Rachel staring out of her window.]

Commercial Break

[Scene: Monica's Apartment, Rachel is making coffee for Joey and Chandler.]

Rachel: Isn't this amazing? I mean, I have never made coffee before in my entire life.

Chandler: That is amazing.

Joey: Congratulations.

Rachel: Y'know, I figure if I can make coffee, there isn't anything I can't do.

Chandler: If can invade Poland, there isn't anything I can't do.

Joey: Listen, while you're on a roll, if you feel like you gotta make like a Western omelet or something... (Joey and Chandler taste the coffee, grimace, and pour it into a plant pot.) Although actually I'm really not that hungry...

Monica: (entering, to herself) Oh good, Lenny and Squigy are here.

All: Morning. Good morning.

Paul: (entering from Monica's room) Morning.

Joey: Morning, Paul.

Rachel: Hello, Paul.

Chandler: Hi, Paul, is it?

(Monica and Paul walk to the door and talk in a low voice so the others can't hear.  The others move Monica's table closer to the door so that they can.)

Paul: Thank you!  Thank you so much!

Monica: Stop!

Paul: No, I'm telling you last night was like umm, all my birthdays, both graduations, plus the barn raising scene in Witness.

Monica: We'll talk later.

Paul: Yeah. (They kiss) Thank you. (Exits)

Joey: That wasn't a real date?! What the hell do you do on a real date?

Monica: Shut up, and put my table back.

All: Okayyy! (They do so.)

Chandler: All right, kids, I gotta get to work. If I don't input those numbers,... it doesn't make much of a difference...

Rachel: So, like, you guys all have jobs?

Monica: Yeah, we all have jobs. See, that's how we buy stuff.

Joey: Yeah, I'm an actor.

Rachel: Wow! Would I have seen you in anything?

Joey: I doubt it. Mostly regional work.

Monica: Oh wait, wait, unless you happened to catch the Reruns' production of Pinocchio, at the little theater in the park.

Joey: Look, it was a job all right?

Chandler: 'Look, Gippetto, I'm a real live boy.'

Joey: I will not take this abuse. (Walks to the door and opens it to leave.)

Chandler: You're right, I'm sorry. (Burst into song and dances out of the door.) "Once I was a wooden boy, a little wooden boy..."

Joey: You should both know, that he's a dead man.  Oh, Chandler? (Starts after Chandler.)

Monica: So how you doing today? Did you sleep okay? Talk to Barry? I can't stop smiling.

Rachel: I can see that. You look like you slept with a hanger in your mouth.

Monica: I know, he's just so, so... Do you remember you and Tony DeMarco?

Rachel: Oh, yeah.

Monica: Well, it's like that. With feelings.

Rachel: Oh wow. Are you in trouble.

Monica: Big time!

Rachel: Want a wedding dress?   Hardly used.

Monica: I think we are getting a little ahead of selves here. Okay. Okay. I am just going to get up, go to work and not think about him all day. Or else I'm just gonna get up and go to work.

Rachel: Oh, look, wish me luck!

Monica: What for?

Rachel: I'm gonna go get one of those (Thinks) job things.

(Monica exits.)

[Scene: Iridium, Monica is working as Frannie enters.]

Frannie: Hey, Monica!

Monica: Hey Frannie, welcome back! How was Florida?

Frannie: You had sex, didn't you?

Monica: How do you do that?

Frannie: Oh, I hate you, I'm pushing my Aunt Roz through Parrot Jungle and you're having sex!  So? Who?

Monica: You know Paul?

Frannie: Paul the Wine Guy? Oh yeah, I know Paul.

Monica: You mean you know Paul like I know Paul?

Frannie: Are you kidding? I take credit for Paul. Y'know before me, there was no snap in his turtle for two years.

[Scene: Central Perk, everyone but Rachel is there.]

Joey: (sitting on the arm of the couch)Of course it was a line!

Monica: Why?! Why? Why, why would anybody do something like that?

Ross: I assume we're looking for an answer more sophisticated than 'to get you into bed'.

Monica: I hate men!  I hate men!

Phoebe: Oh no, don't hate, you don't want to put that out into the universe.

Monica: Is it me? Is it like I have some sort of beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear?

Phoebe: All right, c'mere, gimme your feet. (She starts massaging them.)

Monica: I just thought he was nice, y'know?

Joey: (bursts out laughing again) I can't believe you didn't know it was a line!

(Monica pushes him off of the sofa as Rachel enters with a shopping bag.)

Rachel: Guess what?

Ross: You got a job?

Rachel: Are you kidding? I'm trained for nothing! I was laughed out of twelve interviews today.

Chandler: And yet you're surprisingly upbeat.

Rachel: You would be too if you found John and David boots on sale, fifty percent off!

Chandler: Oh, how well you know me...

Rachel: They're my new 'I don't need a job, I don't need my parents, I've got great boots' boots!

Monica: How'd you pay for them?

Rachel: Uh, credit card.

Monica: And who pays for that?

Rachel: Um... my... father.

[Scene: Monica and Rachel's, everyone is sitting around the kitchen table.   Rachel's credit cards are spread out on the table along with a pair of scissors.]

Rachel: Oh God, come on you guys, is this really necessary?  I mean, I can stop charging anytime I want.

Monica: C'mon, you can't live off your parents your whole life.

Rachel: I know that. That's why I was getting married.

Phoebe: Give her a break, it's hard being on your own for the first time.

Rachel: Thank you.

Phoebe: You're welcome. I remember when I first came to this city. I was fourteen. My mom had just killed herself and my step-dad was back in prison, and I got here, and I didn't know anybody. And I ended up living with this albino guy who was, like, cleaning windshields outside port authority, and then he killed himself, and then I found aromatherapy. So believe me, I know exactly how you feel.

(Pause)

Ross: The word you're looking for is 'Anyway'...

Monica: All right, you ready?

Rachel: No.  No, no, I'm not ready!  How can I be ready?  "Hey, Rach!  You ready to jump out the airplane without your parachute?"  Come on, I can't do this!

Monica: You can, I know you can!

Rachel: I don't think so.

Ross: Come on, you made coffee!   You can do anything! (Chandler slowly tries to hide the now dead plant from that morning when he and Joey poured their coffee into it.)

Ross: C'mon, cut. Cut, cut, cut,...

All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut... (She cuts one of them and they cheer.)

Rachel: Y'know what?  I think we can just leave it at that.  It's kinda like a symbolic gesture...

Monica:  Rachel!  That was a library card!

All: Cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut, cut..

Chandler: (as Rachel is cutting up her cards) Y'know, if you listen closely, you can hear a thousand retailers scream.

(She finishes cutting them up and they all cheer.)

Monica: Welcome to the real world! It sucks. You're gonna love it!

[Time Lapse, Rachel and Ross are watching a TV channel finishing its broadcast day by playing the national anthem.]

Monica: Well, that's it (To Ross) You gonna crash* on the couch?

Ross: No. No, I gotta* go home sometime.

Monica: You be okay?

Ross: Yeah.

Rachel: Hey Mon, look what I just found on the floor. (Monica smiles.) What?

Monica: That's Paul's watch. You just put it back where you found it. Oh boy. Alright. Goodnight, everybody.

Ross and Rachel: Goodnight.

(Monica stomps on Paul's watch and goes into her room.)

Ross: Mmm. (They both reach for the last cookie) Oh, no-

Rachel: Sorry-

Ross: No no no, go-

Rachel: No, you have it, really, I don't want it-

Ross: Split it?

Rachel: Okay.

Ross: Okay. (They split it.) You know you probably didn't know this, but back in high school, I had a, um, major crush* on you.

Rachel: I knew.

Ross: You did! Oh.... I always figured* you just thought I was Monica's geeky* older brother.

Rachel: I did.

Ross: Oh. Listen, do you think- and try not to let my intense vulnerability become any kind of a factor here- but do you think it would be okay if I asked you out? Sometime? Maybe?

Rachel: Yeah, maybe...

Ross: Okay... okay, maybe I will...

Rachel: Goodnight.

Ross: Goodnight.

(Rachel goes into her room and Monica enters the living room as Ross is leaving.)

Monica: See ya.... Waitwait, what's with you?

Ross: I just grabbed a spoon. (Ross exits and Monica has no idea what that means.)

Closing Credits

[Scene: Central Perk, everyone is there.]

Joey: I can't believe what I'm hearing here.

Phoebe: (sings) I can't believe what I'm hearing here...

Monica: What? I-I said you had a-

Phoebe: (sings) What I said you had...

Monica: (to Phoebe) Would you stop?

Phoebe: Oh, was I doing it again?

All: Yes!

Monica: I said that you had a nice butt, it's just not a great butt.

Joey: Oh, you wouldn't know a great butt if it came up and bit ya.

Ross: There's an image.

Rachel: (walks up with a pot of coffee) Would anybody like more coffee?

Chandler: Did you make it, or are you just serving it?

Rachel: I'm just serving it.

All: Yeah. Yeah, I'll have a cup of coffee.

Chandler: Kids, new dream... I'm in Las Vegas. (Rachel sits down to hear Chandler's dream.)

Customer: (To Rachel) Ahh, miss?   More coffee?

Rachel: Ugh. (To another customer that's leaving.) Excuse me, could you give this to that guy over there? (Hands him the coffee pot.) Go ahead. (He does so.) Thank you. (To the gang.) Sorry.  Okay, Las Vegas.

Chandler: Okay, so, I'm in Las Vegas... I'm Liza Minelli-
