Now, let's begin by watching the first clip and seeing what Nick is actually planning to do in that ice cream shop.

Listen, I don't know what you're doing skulking around during daylight hours, but

I don't want any trouble in here, so hit the road.

I'm not looking for any trouble either, sir.

I simply want to buy a Jumbo pop for my little boy.

There aren't any fox ice cream joints in your part of town.

It's just my boy, this goofy little stinker.

He loves all things elephant, wants to be one when he grows up.

Who the heck am I to crush his little dreams, huh?

the sign says, we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.

Hey, you're gonna have to wait your turn like everyone else, meter maid.

Are your customers aware they're getting snot and mucus with their cookies and cream?

Well, I don't want to cause you any trouble, but

I believe scooping ice cream with an ungloved trunk is a Class 3 health code violation, which is kind of a big deal.

Of course, I could let you off with a warning if you were to glove those trunks and, I don't know, finish selling this nice dad and his son a.

All right, now let's break down all the useful advanced expressions we just saw.

If someone is skulking, they're sneaking around in a suspicious or secretive way, as if trying not to be seen.

Hit the road can either refer to leaving a place or beginning a journey.

Like you could say, alright, everything's in the car, let's hit the road.

In this case, however, it's used as a command to order someone to leave or go away to get out of here.

Now this might sound a bit rude when used this way, so be careful.

I simply want to buy a jumbo pop for my little boy.

A jumbo pop refers to this giant popsicle.

Jumbo is an adjective that means huge or extra large.

Do you remember this other Disney character named Dumbo?

His story was inspired by a real circus elephant named Jumbo.

He was absolutely massive and became so famous that his name became a synonym for or anything big.

And it's more commonly said in the United States, where you also hear people say more often these days, buddy.

The owner of the ice cream shop actually says it in the next line.

Backup is the same as taking a step back or moving away.

You'll hear this a lot from police officers in movies.

Joint is slang for a place where people eat.

Usually a small local restaurant, shop or bar, like a burger joint or a coffee joint.

You wouldn't use this word in formal settings, though.

You'll more often hear it in contexts like a casual conversation among friends.

If someone is goofy, they're silly in a fun and harmless way.

It's like being clumsy, making weird faces, or doing something that makes people laugh.

Remember this other famous Disney character?
