Heard at the movies saying today is from the comedy film Detective Peek a choo.
-
It tells the story of a man named Tim who is searching for his missing father and needs the help of Pikachu.
-
Listen for the phrase I'm your best bet.
-
I don't need a Pokemon period.
-
And what about a world class detective?
-
Because if you want to find your pops, I'm your best bet.
-
We're gonna do this, you and me.
-
So, what do you think I'm your best bet means I'm your best friend.
-
Not just a good friend or I'm your best hope for success.
-
Listen again.
-
I don't need a Pokemon period.
-
And what about a world class detective?
-
Because if you want to find your pops, I'm your best bet.
-
We're gonna do this.
-
You and me, I'm your best bet.

Means I'm your best hope or success.
-
A bet is a choice made by thinking about what will probably happen.

He could.

You knew he was Tim's best choice for finding his father.
-
He was Tim's best bet.
-
Forgetting the important job done.

And that's English at the movies.
