Vestida para Casar

Este é mais um filme dedicado ao mês das noivas. O título original é "27 dresses". A cena que escolhi é muito divertida principalmente o final. Nesta cena Jane está participando de dois casamentos ao mesmo tempo. Vale a pena aprimorar o inglês assistindo esta cena.

Jane - There you are! You look great.

Casey - Thanks!

Jane - Okay. Let's go. Come on. Oh. Here.

Casey - What's this?

Jane - I brought you a shawl, Visine, Tylenol and a pair of my earrings. About your hair.

Casey - What? The bitch said, "Up." It's up.

Jane - Okay. I'll fix it inside.

Casey - What's all this stuff?

Jane - Let's just hurry.

Suzanne - Aren't the dresses great? The best thing about them is you can shorten them and wear them again.

Jane - Definitely. So true.

Photographer - Give me a smile. Okay. Excuse me. On the right.

Pastor 1 - We are gathered here today to celebrate the union of Suzanne and Greg. This is a time of great joy. As we honor two people who have come together to be joined in holy matrimony.

Jane - Sorry. Taxi! Great. Thanks. 31 Water Street. Brooklyn. Okay. I will give you $300 flat for the whole night on one condition.

Driver - Yeah.

Jane - You don't look in the rear-view mirror or I deduct. Deal?

Driver - Yeah.

Jane - Great.

Driver - What are you doing?

Jane - Hey. You just cost yourself 20 bucks.

Driver - No one's looking.

Jane - I'll be right back.

Maid of Honor 1 - Thank God you're here. I'm freaking out. I forgot my thingy.

Jane - Oh! I've got extra. No worries.

Maid of Honor 1 - Perfect. Thank you.

Jane - That is definitely so true.

Driver - You in?

Jane - Go! Hey! Hey! You are down to 260. Are you sure you wanna keep this up?

Driver - No!

Jane - Okay, then.

Casey - Okay. Which one do you want? The brunet or the blond? I kinda want the blond. I'm not gonna lie.

Jane - Casey, can't you keep it in your pants for one wedding?

Casey - Are you kidding? The only reason to wear this monstrous dress is so some drunken groomsman can rip it to shreds with his teeth.

Kevin - What time is it now? Well, I'm just gonna be about two more hours, so... I'll call you back.

Driver - Hey! Wrong shoes! Wait a minute. Wrong shoes.

Jane - Ziggy! What?

Shari - Jane, I'm so hungry. Did you eat anything?

Jane - Oh, yeah.

Shari - I haven't eaten anything. And let me give you some advice, do not drink Moet on an empty stomach. it's, like, whoa...

Suzanne - Did you meet my grandma?

Jane - Yeah. She was great. I really enjoyed her.

Suzanne - I think she's having fun.

Jane - Oh, yeah. Lots.

Maid of Honor 2 - Hey, what is that thing on your forehead?

Jane - Oh.

Suzanne - I'd like to take a moment to give a special thank-you to a girl who's really gone above and beyond.

Shari - The girl who not only hosted my shower and helped me design the invitation.

Suzanne - She went with me to the caterer, the florist, the wedding cake bakery,

Shari - And to eight bridal stores where she helped me cling to my self-esteem...

Shari - So thanks, Jane!

Suzanne - Thanks, Jane. Okay! Everybody ready?

JOKE

The man and his wives

A man gets married and shortly afterwards his wife dies.
A friend tries to console him and asks:
"What happened to your wife?"
"She died of poison from eating mushrooms," said the husband.
This man gets married a second time, and not long after the marriage, this second wife dies.
The same friend tries to console the grieving husband and asks:
"What happened to your second wife?"
"She died of poison from eating mushrooms," was also the reply from the husband.
This man takes a third wife and, not very long after the marriage, the third wife dies.
The consoling friend asks:
"What happened to your third wife? Was it mushroom poisoning?"
The grieving husband responds, "No, she died of a broken neck."
"A broken neck!" replies the friend.
"Yes," says the husband, "she wouldn't eat her mushrooms."

Casablanca

Este é um clássico dedicado ao mês das mães.

O diálogo é bem grande, trata-se da despedida de Ilsa e Rick. Para quem assistiu ao filme, vale a pena rever esta última cena enquanto aprimora o conhecimento da língua inglesa.

A car drives up the airport, with Laszlo, Ilsa, Rick, and Renault.

Rick: Louis, have your man go with Mr. Laszlo and take care of his luggage.

Renault: Certainly, Rick, anything you say. Find Mr. Laszlo's luggage and put it on the plane.

Officer: Yes, sir. This way please.

Rick: If you don't mind, you fill in the names. That will make it even more official.

Renault: You think of everything, don't you?

Rick: And the names are Mr. and Mrs. Victor Laszlo.

Ilsa: But, why my name, Richard?

Rick: Because you're getting on that plane.

Ilsa: I don't understand. What about you?

Rick: I am staying here with him until the plane gets safely away.

Ilsa: No, Richard, no. What has happened to you? Last night you said...

Rick: Last night we said a great many things. You said I was to do the thinking for both of us. Well I've done a lot of it since then, it all adds up to one thing. You're getting on that plane with Victor where you belong.

Ilsa: But, Richard, no, I...

Rick: Now you've got to listen to me. Do you have any idea what you'd have to look forward to if you stayed here? Nine chances out of ten we'd both end up in a concentration camp, isn't that true, Louis?

Renault: I am afraid Major Strasser would insist.

Ilsa: You're saying this only to make me go.

Rick: I'm saying it because it is true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You're part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him you'll regret it.

Ilsa: No.

Rick: Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life.

Ilsa: What about us?

Rick: We'll always have Paris. We didn't have, we'd lost it, until you came to Casablanca. We got it back last night.

Ilsa: When I said I would never leave you.

Rick: And you never will. But I've got a job to do too. Where I am going, you can't follow. What I've got to do, you can't be any part of. Ilsa, I'm no good at being noble, but it doesn't take much to see that the problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans in this crazy world. Someday you'll understand that. Now, now, here's looking at you kid.

Laszlo: Everything is in order.

Rick: All except one thing. There is something you should know before you leave.

Laszlo: Mr. Blaine, I don't ask you to explain anything.

Rick: I am going to anyway, because it may make a difference to you later on. You said you know about Ilsa and me.

Laszlo: Yes.

Rick: But you didn't know she was at my place last night when you were. She came there for the letters of transit. Isn't that true, Ilsa?

Ilsa: Yes.

Rick: She tried everything to get them and nothing worked. She did her best to convince me that she was still in love with me. That was all over long ago. For your sake she pretended it wasn't, and I let her pretend.

Laszlo: I understand.

Rick: Here it is.

Laszlo: Thanks, I appreciate it. Welcome back to the fight. This time I know our side will win. Are you ready, Ilsa?

Ilsa: Yes, I am ready. Goodbye, Rick. God bless you.

Rick: Better hurry, you'll miss that plane.

_________________________________________

TOP 10

1- Uma das utilizações do gerúndio, (o qual explico mais detalhadamente no meu e-book: "GERUND FORM"), é a utilização dele para indicar ações futuras próximas. Esta situação aparece no texto quando Rick diz: You're getting on that plane (Você vai embarcar naquele avião) e também: I´m staying here (Eu vou ficar aqui).

2- Outra frase que pode gerar confusão, é: I was do the thinking for both of us que significa: eu estava pensando por nós dois. Do the thinking = fazer pensar / pensar.

3- Phrasal Verbs:
Add up = resultar
End up = acabar / resultar
Fill in = preencher
Get on = embarcar
Get away = escapar / fugir
Get back = recuperar

4- Look Forward to = esperar / esperar ansiosamente

5- Belong with X belong to. Encontramos no diálogo: You belong with Victor ( É com o Victor que você deve ficar). "Belong with" não tem o sentido tão forte de posse quanto o "belong to" (pertencer a).

6- Good at = Bom em. Geralmente acompanha um substantivo ou um verbo com "ing". Good at being noble (Bom em ser nobre).

7- In love with = apaixonado por

8- I suppose you know = eu suponho que você saiba

9- For your sake = para o seu bem

10- Pretend = fingir

Por favor, enviem um e-mail se houverem mais dúvidas. Até semana que vem. Bye bye.

The Best Mothers Day Quotes

Mum,
You may be treated like the maid,
you may be treated like the gardner,
you may be treated like the daycare,
you may be treated like the chauffer,
you may be treated like many things.
But one thing is for sure,You will always be loved.
For a fathers work may be from sun up till sundown,
but a mothers work is never down.
And all that I have, am, and hope to be,
I owe to you,
So this is for all the times I forgot to say
THANK YOU!!

A Mother's Love
Your arms were always open when I needed a hug.
Your heart understood when I needed a friend.
Your gentle eyes were stern when I needed a lesson.
Your strength and love has guided me and gave me wings to fly.

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,
"A word that means the world to me.

O Diabo veste Prada

O nome em inglês é "The Devil wears Prada".
Eu acho este filme SENSACIONAL. Afinal, quem nunca teve uma "Miranda Priestly" na vida.
Esta cena é muito boa e não é tão difícil. É o momento em que Miranda diz a Andy porquê a contratou. Ela a humilha tanto que Andie decide mudar para provar que é digna do emprego.

Miranda - The girls' Recital was absolutely wonderful. They play Rachmaninoff. Everyone loved it, everyone except me, because, sadly, I was not there.

Andy - Miranda, I am so sorry.

Miranda - Do you know why I hired you? I always hire the same girl. Stylish, slender, of course, worships the magazine. But so often, they turn out to be... I don't know, disappointing and... stupid. So you, with you impressive résumé and the big speech about your so-called work ethic... I thought you would be different. I said to myself, " Go ahead, take a chance. Hire the smart fat girl. I had hope. My God, I live on it. Anyway you ended up disappointed me more than any of the others silly girls.

Andy: I really did everything I could thing of...

Miranda: That's all.
