  • You know, pal, she's the one.

  • That's it.

  • She is the one.

  • I'm happy for you.

  • Oh, and thanks for hooking me up with those reservations.

  • Oh, no problem.

  • They're under the name Googly Bear.

  • Oh, good idea.

  • You know, that wasn't very funny.

  • What the?

  • Wazowski!

  • What do you know?

  • It scares little kids and little monsters.

  • I wasn't scared.

  • I have allergies.

  • Uh-huh.

  • Sure.

  • Hey, Randall, save it for the scare floor, will ya?

  • I'm in the zone today, Sullivan.

  • Gonna be doing some serious scaring.

  • Putting up some big numbers.

  • Wow, Randall.

  • That's great.

  • That should make it even more humiliating when we break the record first.

  • Shh, shh, shh.

  • Do you hear that?

  • It's the winds of change.

  • You hear it?

  • You hear the winds of change?

  • What a creep.

  • One of these days, I am really gonna let you teach that guy a lesson.

  • You know, pal, she's the one.

  • That's it.

  • She is the one.

  • I'm happy for you.

  • As you may know, Mike and Sully are good friends.

  • You can call a friend of yours pal.

  • Keep in mind that this is more common when talking to men.

  • Also, pal tends to be used more often in American English.

  • In British English, you will likely hear two male friends calling each other mate.

  • You can't protect your mate, mate.

  • Mike is talking about Celia, the receptionist who flirts with him.

  • In the scene, Mike has just asked Celia out on a date, and she agreed.

  • So, Mike is really happy here.

  • When he says that Celia is the one, he means she's the girl he's supposed to be with.

  • You love her.

  • She's the one.

  • Oh, and thanks for hooking me up with those reservations.

  • Oh, no problem.

  • As a good friend, Sully has gotten a reservation at a nice restaurant for Mike to take Celia to.

  • When you hook someone up with something, you provide the person with something useful, for free.

  • For example, imagine you give some concert tickets to a friend so he can go watch his favorite band who's playing in town.

  • Your friend can say, wow, thanks for hooking me up with these tickets.

  • What do you know?

  • It scares little kids and little monsters.

  • What do you know?

  • So, what do becomes whatta.

  • Whatta.

  • The do gets reduced to whatta.

  • So, whatta.

  • And then, you gets reduced to ya.

  • Whatta ya.

  • Whatta ya.

  • So, I say, whatta ya know?

  • Whatta ya know?

  • Whatta ya know?

  • Hey, Randall, save it for the scare floor, will ya?

  • I'm in the zone today, Sullivan.

  • Sully and Randall are the top scarers in the company.

  • So, obviously, there's a lot of competition between them.

  • When Sully says, save it for the scare floor, he means, let's solve our conflict on the scare floor by seeing who scares the most kids.

  • Another example could be two boxers who are about to fight each other.

  • Instead of fighting on the street, one of them could say to the other, let's save it for the ring.

  • In other words, we'll deal with this on the ring.

  • Here's another example from the classic Karate Kid film.

  • Hey, I'm talking to you, punk.

  • Come on, make a move.

  • Hey, save it for the ring.

  • Come on.

  • Hey, Randall, save it for the scare floor, will ya?

  • The tag question, will you, is an interesting one.

  • You can use it at the end of requests or orders.

  • We also tend to reduce you to ya here, so it sounds will ya.

  • Hey, Randall, save it for the scare floor, will ya?

  • Scare floor, will ya?

  • I'm in the zone today, Sullivan.

  • When you say, I'm in the zone, you mean you are at the top of your game, or more than ready to give your best performance.

  • You hear it?

  • You hear the wind?

  • I mean, what a creep.

  • To call someone a creep is an insult.

  • You can use this word to refer to someone who acts in an odd or strange way, making people around them feel uncomfortable or even scared.

  • Per county records, last known owner is Dick Dastardly.

  • What would a creep like that want with Scooby and Shaggy?

  • I know you're learning many cool words and expressions in this lesson, but let me tell you that if you don't review these words and expressions very soon, you will forget them.

  • Actually, this is one of the things that my students tell me all the time, how they learn words and expressions, but when it's time for them to speak English, they don't remember the words.

  • The words don't come to them.

  • So, if you want to be able to actually use all these new words and expressions, you gotta use the RealLife English app.

  • I'll see you there.

  • One of the many events that happen in this movie is when Boo, a little girl, accidentally enters the monster world.

  • Now Mike and Sully are trying to find her to send her back to her world.

  • Word on the street is the kid's been traced back to this factory.

  • You haven't seen anything, have you?

  • In other words, you fail at taking advantage of something.

  • In the past, you would say blew instead of blow.

  • Nice connected speech here.

  • It will be, it will contracted becomes it'll.

  • So, it'll be.

  • And then Mike says not ours.

  • The T for not here has a flap sound.

  • Which then joins with ours.

  • So, not ours, not ours.

  • So, Mike says it'll be their problem, not ours.

  • It'll be their problem, not ours.

  • It'll be their problem, not ours.

  • She's out of our hair.

  • In this context, the expression she's out of our hair means Boo is no longer causing Mike and Sully any trouble or inconvenience.

  • When someone is out of your hair, this person is not bothering you anymore.

  • It's important to note that this expression can also have a bit of a negative connotation, giving the idea that someone is annoying and you're glad to be rid of them.

  • You can also say I'll get out of your hair, meaning you won't bother someone anymore.

  • What are you two doing?

  • They're rehearsing a play.

  • She's out of our hair.

  • Cut it, Wazowski.

  • This is an interesting use of the word can.

  • In the scene, can it means stop talking.

  • This is a slangy way of telling someone to be quiet or shut up.

  • It can be used in either a playful or aggressive way, depending on the tone and situation.

  • This is a great example of a basic word being used in a more advanced or not so obvious way.

  • I mean, I'm not even sure if I wanna go.

  • What's the point?

  • Are you wacky?

  • I'm wacky.

  • Can it.

  • So, what do you think of that kid getting out, Sullivan?

  • Pretty crazy, huh?

  • Oh yeah, crazy.

  • Word on the street is the kid's been traced back to this factory.

  • When Randall says word on the street is, he means I've heard from other monsters in the factory that you can say word on the street is when you wanna share what other people in your social circle have told you about something.

  • It's funny to see Randall using this here, because we usually see that type of phrase in movies and series about criminals and street gangs.

  • What's the word on the street?

  • No one's dropping no names.

  • Word on the street is the kid's been traced back to this factory.

  • Randall is saying that other monsters have discovered that Boo originally came from this factory.

  • If you trace something back to somewhere, you have found evidence or information that connects the thing to the place where it came from.

  • You haven't seen anything, have you?

  • Uh, well
