| Because this video was made in 1952, occasionally there is language, which is no longer used or has gone out of fashion. Where this happens I have changed the expression to its modern day equivalent in bold, with the words the actors actually say in brackets. Like this; great (slick) Sometimes I will add an explanation to a phrase I think is difficult. Like this; ..tall, dark and handsome, I hope? (Judy wants to meet a good looking man) J: Mother, wouldn’t it be great (slick) if we had an electric ironer, like Sally’s mother has? M: Of course it would. And I’m looking forward to having an electric drier too. Just think, then we’d have the complete electric laundry. J: Weeeeee! M: Weee? What? J: Why, goodbye old washday. That’s why the Weeee! M: Really Judy. Come on now, eat your lunch. You’ll feel better. J: I feel fine. J: This tastes yummy. I love bacon crisp and crunchy like this. M: Honey, stop wolfing your food. (Eating your food too fast) No ones going to take it away from you. J: Sorry sweety, but it’s really your fault. You shouldn’t make them so good. M: I almost forgot – a letter from Bob. J: Another letter? I thought he was coming home tomorrow? M: He is. He wrote to say he’s bringing a friend with him. J: What does he say - about the friend, I mean? Is he tall, dark and handsome, I hope? (Judy wants to meet a good looking man) M: Here’s what he says; Alex is a real great guy, even though he’s serious minded and talks in all his classes. He’s got a job lined up with (going to work for) a construction gang near us and I knew you wouldn’t mind if he spent a few days with me since it’s the end of the term. J: Say – Pretty dull! M: Alex has little time for girls … J: I knew it. I bet he doesn’t even dance. M: And is quite a woman hater in his way. Well, well. J: For Pete’s sake, wouldn’t you know that idiot (goon) brother of mine would bring something home that lives under a rock! (Something nasty like a snake or snail) M: Judy, I do wish you’d speak English like normal human beings. Besides, I’m sure Mr. Phipps is a very nice young man. J: I know, but just because Bob is a geek (book gook) it doesn’t mean he has to bring another home with him. M: We’ll see. There’s a special message for you; And be sure to tell Judy to keep her grimy little paws off my friend. (Stay away from) He’s got no time for babies. J: What’s his name again? M: Alexander Phipps. J: Alexander Phipps!? Sounds revolting! Whatever made my dear brother think I’d be interested in a character with a name like that? As far as Mr. Alexander Phipps is concerned, he’ll be left alone, strictly alone, and with the greatest of pleasure. Return to ESLpodTV DZÇÍÇ&Mac240;ñ|ñÛÇ&Mac183;ÇÈà&Mac215; Rikai.com |
