- No, I'd love to! It sounds great! I've never been on a boat, and I don't know how to handle it. It just make my lips hard to think about it. But if you find a good sailor, and the craft to see... Yes, I would go sailing! Yeah.... Let's go sailing! I know the plans! I'm sailing! I’m sailing!I'm sailing! I’m sailing! I’m sailing!



 - Dr Marvin, guess what! I sail! I'm a sailor! I sail! Is this a breakthrough? Do you think that I am a sailor? I sail? I sail now?

- Daddy!
- What's got into you?
- It was a disaster, Fay!
- No, it wasn't, you were wonderful sweetie!
-You were fine, dad!
-Why do you need to keep Bob out of the house?

Would you go with me if we rode the 6.............................. together?

Could you not look down forever?

Help me tie up the ends of a dream

I gotta know, would you go with me?

 I love you so, so would you go with me?

One more minute





ONE MORE MINUTE



Well I heard that you're leavin' (leavin')

Gonna leave me far behind (so far behind)

'Cause you found a brand new lover

You decided that I'm not your kind (aahh..)



So I pulled (I pulled) your name out (name out) of my Rolodex (oohh..)

And I tore all your pictures in two

And I burned down the malt shop where we used to go

Just because it reminds me of you (dippity dippity doo)



That's right (that's right) you ain't gonna see me cryin'

I'm glad (I'm glad) that you found somebody new

'Cause I'd rather spend eternity eating shards of broken glass

Than spend one more minute with you



I guess I might seem kinda bitter

You got me feeling down in the dumps

'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love

And I have to use the self-service pumps



Oh, so honey, let me help you with that suitcase

You ain't (you ain't) gonna break my heart in two

'Cause I'd rather get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face

Than spend one more minute with you



 I'd rather rip out my intestines with a fork

Than watch you going out with other men

I'd rather slam my fingers in a door (yah)

Again and again and again and again and again



Oh, can't you see what I'm tryin' to say, Darlin...



I'd rather have my blood sucked out by leeches (leeches)

Shove an icepick under a toenail or two

I'd rather clean all the bathrooms in Grand Central Station with my tongue

Than spend one more minute with you



Yes, I'd rather jump naked on a huge pile of thumbtacks

Or stick my nostrils together with crazy glue

I'd rather dive into a swimming pool filled with double-edged razor blades

Than spend one more minute with you



I'd rather rip my heart right out of my ribcage with my bare hands

and then throw it on the floor and stomp on it 'till I die...



Than spend one more minute with you

When Harry met Sally


WHEN HARRY MET SALLY is a romantic film about the relationship between Harry (Billy Chrystal) and Sally (Meg Ryan).

"Can men and women ever just be friends?" This is the question around all the film.







Sally: So what do you do with these 1..........., you just get up out of bed and leave? 
Harry: Sure.
Sally: Well explain to me how you do it. What do you say? 
Harry: You'd say you have an early meeting, early haircut or a squash game.
Sally: You don't play squash.
Harry: They don't know that they just met me.
Sally: That's 2.................
Harry: I know, I feel terrible.
Sally: You know I'm so glad I never got involved with you.I just
would've ended up being some woman you had to get up out of bed
and leave at three o'clock in the morning and clean your andirons,and 
you don't even have a fireplace. Not that I would've noticed.
Harry: Why are you getting so 3............? This is not about you.
Sally: Yes it is. You are a human affront to all women and I am a woman.
Harry: Hey I don't feel great about this but I don't hear anyone
complaining.
Sally: Of course not you're out of the door too fast.
Harry: I think they have an OK time.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: What do you mean how do I know? I know.
Sally: Because they...
Harry: Yes, because they...
Sally: And how do you know that they really...
Harry: What are you saying, that they fake orgasm?
Sally: It's possible.
Harry: Get outta here!
Sally: Why? Most women at one time or another have faked it.
Harry: Well they haven't faked it with me.
Sally: How do you know?
Harry: Because I know.
Sally: Oh, right, that's right, I forgot, you're a man.
Harry: What is that supposed to 4.............?
Sally: Nothing. It's just that all men are sure it never happened to
them and that most women at one time or another have done it so you do
the math.
Harry: You don't think that I could tell the 5................?
Sally: No.
Harry: Get outta here.
Sally: Ooo...Oh...Ooo...
Harry: Are you OK?
Sally: Oh...Oh god...Ooo Oh God...Oh...Oh...Oh...Oh God... 
Oh yeah rightthere Oh! Oh...Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes...Oh...Oh...
Yes Yes Yes....Oh...Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes...Oh...Oh... Oh... Oh God 
Oh... Oh... Huh...

Why can't the English learn to speak?

We will work this film in class. Here is the first excerpt of this film

The musical film My Fair Lady is based on the famous play Pygmalion, by George Bernard Shaw. It is about professor Henry Higgins, a misogynistic and arrogant phonetics teacher who will try to turn the Cockney accent of the flower girl Eliza Doolittle into a proper English one, so that she can be presentable in high society. He  will succeed, but their lives will not be the same again.



  


Look at her, a prisoner of the gutters
Condemned by every syllable she utters
By right she should be taken out and hung
For the cold-blooded murder
of the English tongue
Heavens, what a sound!
This is what the British population
Calls an elementary education

Come, sir, I think you've picked
a poor example.

Did l?
Hear them down in Soho Square
Dropping H's everywhere
Speaking English any way they like
Hey, you, sir, did you go to school?
                 
What ya tike me for, a fool?
                  
No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike'                   
Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse
Hear a Cornishman converse                  
l'd rather hear a choir singing flat
Chickens cackling in a barn
Just like this one
                  
Garn!

Garn!
I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that?
It's 'aoow' and 'garn'
that keep her in her place
Not her wretched clothes and dirty face
Why can't the English
teach their children how to speak?
This verbal class distinction
by now should be antique
If you spoke as she does, sir,
instead of the way you do
Why, you might be selling flowers, too

I beg your pardon.
An Englishman's way of speaking
absolutely classifies him
The moment he talks he makes
some other Englishman despise him
One common language
I'm afraid we'll never get       
Oh, why can't the English learn to...
... set a good example to people
whose English is painful to your ears
The Scotch and the Irish
leave you close to tears
There even are places
where English completely disappears           
Why, in America
they haven't used it for years!
Why can't the English
teach their children how to speak?
Norwegians learn Norwegian,
the Greeks are taught their Greek
In France every Frenchman
knows his language from 'A' to 'Z'
The French don't care
what they do actually
As long as they pronounce it properly
Arabians learn Arabian
with the speed of summer lightning
The Hebrews learn it backwards
which is absolutely frightening
Use proper English,
you're regarded as a freak
Oh, why can't the English
Why can't the English learn to speak?

Over The Rainbow 
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh 

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dream of
Once in a lullaby

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dream of
Dreams really do come true

Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?

Someday, I wish upon a star
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where trouble melts like lemon drops
High above the chimney top
That's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high
And the dreams that you dare to
Oh why, oh why can't I?

 Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
