Season 3 · Tập 8

Kids, the early bloom of a romance is a wonderful thing.

/kɪdz/ /ˈɜːr.li/ /ˈroʊmæns/ /ɪz/ /ˈwʌndərfəl/ /θɪŋ/

You meet someone, you have a connection,

/juː/ /miːt/ /ˈsʌmwʌn/ /juː/ /hæv/

and that person becomes sheer perfection in your eyes.

/ænd/ /ðæt/ /ˈpɜːrsən/ /jʊr/ /aɪz/

You just can't find anything wrong with them.

/juː/ /dʒʌst/ /faɪnd/ /ˈɛn.i.θɪŋ/ /rɒŋ/ /wɪð/ /ðɛm/

And you can't wait to tell the world about it.

/ænd/ /juː/ /weɪt/ /tɛl/ /wɜːrld/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ɪt/

She convinced you to go jogging?

/ʃiː/ /juː/ /ɡoʊ/ /ˈdʒɒɡɪŋ/

Wow, you really want to get in this girl's pants.

/juː/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /wɒnt/ /ɡɛt/ /pænts/

I'm telling you, you guys are gonna love her.

/juː/ /juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /lʌv/ /hɜːr/

Lily, she knows all about art.

/ʃiː/ /ɔːl/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ɑːrt/

Marshall, she's open to the existence of UFOs.

/ˈoʊ.pən/

Barney, she's hot. Robin, she's not hotter than you.

/hɒt/ /ˈhɒtər/ /ðæn/ /juː/

- Like her already. - How not hotter?

/laɪk/ /hɜːr/ /ɔːlˈrɛd.i/ /haʊ/ /ˈhɒtər/

So we all went out to dinner,

/wiː/ /ɔːl/ /wɛnt/ /aʊt/ /ˈdɪn.ər/

and I couldn't wait to see if my friends were as crazy about Cathy as I was.

/ænd/ /weɪt/ /siː/ /ɪf/ /maɪ/ /frɛndz/ /wɜːr/ /ˈkreɪzi/ /əˈbaʊt/ /wɒz/

So, what's everyone getting?

/ˈɛv.ri.wʌn/ /ˈɡɛtɪŋ/

Well, I can't decide.

/wɛl/ /dɪˈsaɪd/

Which sounds better, chicken or lasagna?

/wɪtʃ/ /ˈbɛt.ər/ /ˈtʃɪkɪn/

Lasagna. Just get the lasagna!

/dʒʌst/ /ɡɛt/

Oh. You guys just got a new place.

/juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /dʒʌst/ /njuː/ /pleɪs/

How many bedrooms is it?

/haʊ/ /ˈmɛn.i/ /ɪz/ /ɪt/

Two. It's two bedrooms!

/tuː/ /tuː/

Okay! Let's hear it.

/hɪr/ /ɪt/

What's wrong with Cathy?

/rɒŋ/ /wɪð/

Are you kidding me, Ted?

/juː/ /ˈkɪdɪŋ/ /miː/

- She's got a... - Wait! You don't notice it?

/weɪt/ /juː/ /ˈnoʊtɪs/ /ɪt/

Notice what?

/ˈnoʊtɪs/ /wɒt/

Oh, he doesn't see it.

/hiː/ /siː/ /ɪt/

If we point it out, we're gonna ruin her for him.

/ɪf/ /wiː/ /pɔɪnt/ /ɪt/ /aʊt/ /ˈruːɪn/ /hɜːr/ /fɔːr/ /hɪm/

As his friends, we'll just keep him in the dark.

/hɪz/ /frɛndz/ /dʒʌst/ /kiːp/ /hɪm/ /dɑːrk/

You're right.

/raɪt/

She's great, man.

/ɡreɪt/ /mæn/

She's a keeper. Just...

/dʒʌst/

keep her somewhere else.

/kiːp/ /hɜːr/ /ˈsʌmwɛr/ /ɛls/

How I Met Your Mother 3x08 - Spoiler Alert - How I Met Your Mother 3x08 - Spoiler Alert -

/haʊ/ /jʊr/ /ˈmʌð.ər/ /haʊ/ /jʊr/ /ˈmʌð.ər/

Marshall, what is everyone's problem with Cathy?

/wɒt/ /ɪz/ /ˈprɒbləm/ /wɪð/

Oh, she's a total nightmare, Ted, but can we talk about this later?

/bʌt/ /kæn/ /wiː/ /tɔːk/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ˈleɪtər/

I'm a minute away from finding out if I'm gonna be a lawyer or not.

/ˈmɪn.ɪt/ /əˈweɪ/ /ˈfaɪndɪŋ/ /aʊt/ /ɪf/ /biː/ /ˈlɔːjər/

You see, kids, during the summer,

/juː/ /siː/ /kɪdz/ /ˈdʊərɪŋ/ /ˈsʌmər/

Marshall had taken the New York Bar exam.

/hæd/ /njuː/ /jɔːrk/ /bɑːr/ /ɪɡˈzæm/

His years of school, his countless hours of study,

/hɪz/ /skuːl/ /hɪz/ /ˈaʊərz/ /ˈstʌd.i/

had finally culminated in this grueling, two-day ordeal.

/hæd/ /ˈfaɪnəli/

And... begin.

/ænd/ /bɪˈɡɪn/

The pressure of it was enormous.

/ɪt/ /wɒz/

Every year, people taking the bar simply cracked.

/ˈɛv.ri/ /jɪr/ /ˈpiː.pəl/ /bɑːr/ /ˈsɪmpli/

But Marshall had made it through.

/bʌt/ /hæd/ /ɪt/ /θruː/

And...

/ænd/

time.

/taɪm/

- Time's up. - Right.

/ʌp/ /raɪt/

Time.

/taɪm/

- Sir. - I know.

/sɜːr/ /noʊ/

- Your time is... - I know it is.

/jʊr/ /taɪm/ /ɪz/ /noʊ/ /ɪt/ /ɪz/

Give me...!

/ɡɪv/ /miː/

Now, months later, the results of that exam

/naʊ/ /ˈleɪtər/ /ðæt/ /ɪɡˈzæm/

were scheduled to post online at 10:00,

/wɜːr/ /poʊst/ /ˈɒnlaɪn/

and it was 9:59.

/ænd/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/

Damn, they're not up yet.

/ʌp/ /jɛt/

Oh, don't worry, baby. I'm sure you rocked it.

/ˈwʌri/ /ˈbeɪbi/ /ʃʊr/ /juː/ /ɪt/

I mean, how many people fail the bar?

/miːn/ /haʊ/ /ˈmɛn.i/ /ˈpiː.pəl/ /feɪl/ /bɑːr/

Half.

/hæf/

Oh, my God, half? Only half the people pass?

/maɪ/ /hæf/ /ˈoʊnli/ /hæf/ /ˈpiː.pəl/ /pæs/

I mean, half the people pass. That's fantastic.

/miːn/ /hæf/ /ˈpiː.pəl/ /pæs/

Go, Marshall.

/ɡoʊ/

Oh, hey, can I jump on there? I want to show you something awesome.

/kæn/ /dʒʌmp/ /ɒn/ /ðɛr/ /wɒnt/ /ʃoʊ/ /juː/ /ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/ /ˈɔːsəm/

What? No, no. Bar results. My future.

/wɒt/ /noʊ/ /noʊ/ /bɑːr/ /maɪ/ /ˈfjuː.tʃər/

Trust me. You need to see this.

/trʌst/ /miː/ /juː/ /niːd/ /siː/

What is so important that I need to see it right now?

/wɒt/ /ɪz/ /ɪmˈpɔːr.tənt/ /ðæt/ /niːd/ /siː/ /ɪt/ /raɪt/ /naʊ/

It's a video of a dog pooping on a baby.

/ˈvɪdiˌoʊ/ /dɔːɡ/ /ɒn/ /ˈbeɪbi/

How do I need to see that?

/haʊ/ /duː/ /niːd/ /siː/ /ðæt/

Why would I want to see that?

/waɪ/ /wʊd/ /wɒnt/ /siː/ /ðæt/

In what possible way could subjecting my eyes and my brain

/wɒt/ /ˈpɒs.ɪ.bəl/ /weɪ/ /kʊd/ /maɪ/ /aɪz/ /ænd/ /maɪ/ /breɪn/

to something that disgusting enrich my life?

/ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/ /ðæt/ /dɪsˈɡʌstɪŋ/ /maɪ/ /laɪf/

It's a dog pooping on a baby.

/dɔːɡ/ /ɒn/ /ˈbeɪbi/

Get away from my computer.

/ɡɛt/ /əˈweɪ/ /maɪ/

Okay, just do a quick Google search for "caca spaniel."

/dʒʌst/ /duː/ /kwɪk/ /sɜːrtʃ/ /fɔːr/

- The results are in. - Whoo. What's it say?

/wuː/ /ɪt/ /seɪ/

"Input password."

/ˈpæswɜːrd/

Input the password !

/ˈpæswɜːrd/

It's okay. They assigned it to me when I took the test.

/ðeɪ/ /ɪt/ /miː/ /wɛn/ /tʊk/ /tɛst/

It's gotta be around here somewhere.

/biː/ /əˈraʊnd/ /hɪr/ /ˈsʌmwɛr/

Here. Here-here-here-here.

/hɪr/

Jelly beans, fluffernutter, Gummi Bears, ginger snaps...

This is a grocery list

/ɪz/ /lɪst/

For who? A witch building a house in the forest?

/fɔːr/ /huː/ /ˈbɪldɪŋ/ /haʊs/

Sugar helps me study.

/ˈʃʊɡər/ /miː/ /ˈstʌd.i/

This is like the shopping a ten-year-old does

/ɪz/ /laɪk/ /dʌz/

when his parents leave him alone for the weekend.

/wɛn/ /hɪz/ /ˈpɛərənts/ /liːv/ /hɪm/ /əˈloʊn/ /fɔːr/ /ˈwiːkɛnd/

What parent leaves a ten- year-old alone for the weekend?

/wɒt/ /ˈpɛrənt/ /tɛn/ /əˈloʊn/ /fɔːr/ /ˈwiːkɛnd/

And your mom was perfect.

/ænd/ /jʊr/ /mɒm/ /wɒz/ /ˈpɜːr.fɪkt/

I can't find my password!

/faɪnd/ /maɪ/ /ˈpæswɜːrd/

Okay, just... can't you let 'em know that you lost it

/dʒʌst/ /juː/ /lɛt/ /noʊ/ /ðæt/ /juː/ /lɒst/ /ɪt/

and they'll e-mail it to you or something?

/ænd/ /ɪt/ /juː/ /ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/

No! They won't let me do that. I'm gonna have to wait till the results come

/noʊ/ /ðeɪ/ /lɛt/ /miː/ /duː/ /ðæt/ /hæv/ /weɪt/ /kʌm/

in the regular mail. That could be weeks from now, if ever!

/ˈrɛɡ.jə.lər/ /meɪl/ /ðæt/ /kʊd/ /biː/ /naʊ/ /ɪf/ /ˈɛv.ər/

Our mail carrier hates me

/aʊər/ /meɪl/ /heɪts/ /miː/

ever since I asked her when the baby was due.

/ˈɛv.ər/ /sɪns/ /hɜːr/ /wɛn/ /ˈbeɪbi/ /wɒz/

- She wasn't pregnant? - No, he was not.

/ʃiː/ /ˈprɛɡnənt/ /noʊ/ /hiː/ /wɒz/

Okay, well, that's a drag, but the results will come eventually.

/wɛl/ /bʌt/ /wɪl/ /kʌm/

Just try to keep it off your mind until then.

/dʒʌst/ /traɪ/ /kiːp/ /ɪt/ /ɒf/ /jʊr/ /maɪnd/ /ənˈtɪl/ /ðɛn/

Hey, Brad.

Oh, congratulations, man.

/kənˌɡrætʃʊˈleɪʃənz/ /mæn/

I'm, uh... I'm not sure yet. I...

/ʃʊr/ /jɛt/

lost my password.

/lɒst/ /maɪ/ /ˈpæswɜːrd/

That's great, Cara.

/ɡreɪt/

I don't know yet. I lost my password.

/noʊ/ /jɛt/ /lɒst/ /maɪ/ /ˈpæswɜːrd/

I don't know how I lost it!

/noʊ/ /haʊ/ /lɒst/ /ɪt/

This stuff happens!

/stʌf/ /ˈhæpənz/

You're one to talk. You misplace stuff all the time.

/tɔːk/ /juː/ /stʌf/ /ɔːl/ /taɪm/

I'm sorry. I'm sure the nurses are stealing your medicine, Grandma.

/ˈsɒr.i/ /ʃʊr/ /jʊr/ /ˈmɛdsɪn/ /ˈɡrænmɑː/

Love you, too.

/lʌv/ /juː/

If I have to wait six weeks to find out if I passed,

/ɪf/ /hæv/ /weɪt/ /sɪks/ /faɪnd/ /aʊt/ /ɪf/

I'm gonna have a heart attack.

/hæv/ /hɑːrt/ /əˈtæk/

Based on that grocery list, I'd say diabetes is a bigger worry.

/ɒn/ /ðæt/ /lɪst/ /seɪ/ /ɪz/ /ˈwʌri/

You know what? Laugh all you want.

/juː/ /noʊ/ /wɒt/ /læf/ /ɔːl/ /juː/ /wɒnt/

This affects my whole future, all right?

/maɪ/ /hoʊl/ /ˈfjuː.tʃər/ /ɔːl/ /raɪt/

Okay. I probably shouldn't be telling you this.

/ˈprɒbəbli/ /biː/ /juː/

I definitely shouldn't be telling you this,

/ˈdɛfɪnɪtli/ /biː/ /juː/

but there is a way I can help you with your problem.

/bʌt/ /ðɛr/ /ɪz/ /weɪ/ /kæn/ /hɛlp/ /juː/ /wɪð/ /jʊr/ /ˈprɒbləm/

How?

/haʊ/

I know a guy at work.

/noʊ/ /ɡaɪ/ /wɜːrk/

He can get access to software designed to penetrate firewalls

/hiː/ /kæn/ /ɡɛt/ /ˈsɒftwɛr/

and retrieve passwords through secure servers.

/ænd/ /θruː/ /sɪˈkjʊər/

I can get into any computer.

/kæn/ /ɡɛt/ /ˈɛn.i/

So what do we do?

/wɒt/ /duː/ /wiː/ /duː/

Like, arrange a secret meeting in a darkened parking structure?

/laɪk/ /ˈsiːkrɪt/ /ˈmiːtɪŋ/ /ˈstrʌktʃər/

- No. - Can we?

/noʊ/ /kæn/ /wiː/

- No. - I have a trench coat.

/noʊ/ /hæv/ /koʊt/

Dude, be cool.

/biː/ /kuːl/

So, I just got off the phone with Cathy.

/dʒʌst/ /ɒf/ /foʊn/ /wɪð/

God, you guys are so right. I totally hear it now.

/juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /raɪt/ /ˈtoʊtəli/ /hɪr/ /ɪt/ /naʊ/

See it now?

/siː/ /ɪt/ /naʊ/

Smell it?

/smɛl/ /ɪt/

What is it?!

/wɒt/ /ɪz/ /ɪt/

I left the table for two minutes.

/lɛft/ /ˈteɪ.bəl/ /fɔːr/ /tuː/

What could she have possibly done in that time that was so horrible?

/wɒt/ /kʊd/ /ʃiː/ /hæv/ /dʌn/ /ðæt/ /taɪm/ /ðæt/ /wɒz/ /ˈhɒrɪbl/

Was it...

/wɒz/ /ɪt/

I'll be back in one second.

/biː/ /bæk/ /ˈsɛk.ənd/

One time, in the tenth grade, as a joke,

/taɪm/ /ɡreɪd/ /dʒoʊk/

I told everyone that my English teacher had sex with me.

/toʊld/ /ˈɛv.ri.wʌn/ /ðæt/ /maɪ/ /ˈɪŋ.ɡlɪʃ/ /ˈtiː.tʃər/ /hæd/ /sɛks/ /wɪð/ /miː/

He's still in jail.

Or maybe...

/ˈmeɪbi/

I'll be back in a second.

/biː/ /bæk/ /ˈsɛk.ənd/

So I volunteer at the pound.

- Oh, isn't that nice? - Yeah.

/ðæt/ /naɪs/

You can't imagine the rush you get from killing an unwanted puppy.

/juː/ /ɪˈmædʒ.ɪn/ /juː/ /ɡɛt/ /ˈkɪlɪŋ/

I make bracelets out of the collars.

/meɪk/ /aʊt/

Or...

I'll be back in one second.

/biː/ /bæk/ /ˈsɛk.ənd/

I bet he's going to the urinal.

/bɛt/ /ˈɡoʊ.ɪŋ/

Yeah. I remember when I had a penis.

/rɪˈmɛm.bər/ /wɛn/ /hæd/

It wasn't anything she did while you were in the bathroom.

/ɪt/ /ˈɛn.i.θɪŋ/ /ʃiː/ /dɪd/ /waɪl/ /juː/ /wɜːr/ /ˈbæθruːm/

It's just the way she is.

/dʒʌst/ /weɪ/ /ʃiː/ /ɪz/

I don't get it. If it's so obvious and you guys all see it,

/ɡɛt/ /ɪt/ /ɪf/ /ˈɒbviəs/ /ænd/ /juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /ɔːl/ /siː/ /ɪt/

how come I don't?

/haʊ/ /kʌm/

'Cause we're not trying to have sex with her.

/kɔːz/ /hæv/ /sɛks/ /wɪð/ /hɜːr/

Brother, you're driving the "I want to have sex with her" truck,

/ˈbrʌð.ər/ /ˈdraɪvɪŋ/ /wɒnt/ /hæv/ /sɛks/ /wɪð/ /hɜːr/ /trʌk/

and it's got a huge blind spot.

/ænd/ /hjuːdʒ/ /blaɪnd/ /spɒt/

- That's ridiculous. - Is it really?

/ɪz/ /ɪt/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/

Ted, let me tell you a little story

/lɛt/ /miː/ /tɛl/ /juː/ /ˈlɪt.əl/ /ˈstɔːri/

about a young lady I wanted to have sex with...

/əˈbaʊt/ /jʌŋ/ /ˈleɪdi/ /hæv/ /sɛks/ /wɪð/

Lucilia. Lucilia.

On a white sand beach in Rio de Janeiro,

/ɒn/ /biːtʃ/

we made love for ten straight hours.

/wiː/ /lʌv/ /fɔːr/ /tɛn/ /streɪt/ /ˈaʊərz/

When we were done,

/wɛn/ /wiː/ /wɜːr/ /dʌn/

she applauded

/ʃiː/

and told me I was far, far better

/ænd/ /toʊld/ /miː/ /wɒz/ /fɑːr/ /fɑːr/ /ˈbɛt.ər/

than the best lover she could possibly imagine,

/ðæn/ /bɛst/ /ʃiː/ /kʊd/ /ɪˈmædʒ.ɪn/

and that I had restored her faith in God.

/ænd/ /ðæt/ /hæd/ /hɜːr/

What does this have to do with Cathy?

/wɒt/ /dʌz/ /hæv/ /duː/ /wɪð/

Who's Cathy?

Just tell me what the hell is wrong with her already.

/dʒʌst/ /tɛl/ /miː/ /wɒt/ /ɪz/ /rɒŋ/ /wɪð/ /hɜːr/ /ɔːlˈrɛd.i/

- Okay. You want to know? - Yes.

/juː/ /wɒnt/ /noʊ/

You want to shatter this beautiful illusion you've created for yourself?

/juː/ /wɒnt/ /ˈbjuː.tɪ.fəl/ /fɔːr/ /jɔːrˈsɛlf/

Fine. Here it is.

/faɪn/ /hɪr/ /ɪt/ /ɪz/

Cathy talks...

a lot.

/lɒt/

Oh, come on. That's not true.

/kʌm/ /ɒn/ /truː/

Ted. Really, really think about that dinner we all just had together.

/ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /θɪŋk/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ðæt/ /ˈdɪn.ər/ /wiː/ /ɔːl/ /dʒʌst/ /hæd/ /təˈɡɛð.ər/

And I did.

/ænd/ /dɪd/

So, what's everyone getting?

/ˈɛv.ri.wʌn/ /ˈɡɛtɪŋ/

Well, I can't decide.

/wɛl/ /dɪˈsaɪd/

Which sounds better, chicken or lasagna?

/wɪtʃ/ /ˈbɛt.ər/ /ˈtʃɪkɪn/

I like chicken. I like lasagna. I like them both,

/laɪk/ /ˈtʃɪkɪn/ /laɪk/ /laɪk/ /ðɛm/ /boʊθ/

but I really like pork. A lot of people don't eat pork,

/bʌt/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /laɪk/ /pɔːrk/ /lɒt/ /ˈpiː.pəl/ /iːt/ /pɔːrk/

and maybe it's because of that movie Babe or something.

/ænd/ /ˈmeɪbi/ /bɪˈkɔːz/ /ðæt/ /ˈmuːvi/ /beɪb/ /ˈsʌm.θɪŋ/

But that was funny. He was a talking pig and he was like "Bah, Ram, Ewe!"

/bʌt/ /ðæt/ /wɒz/ /ˈfʌn.i/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /pɪɡ/ /ænd/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /laɪk/

What-what if there was a sorority, "Bah, Ram, Ewe?"

/ɪf/ /ðɛr/ /wɒz/

I'd totally rush it. ...And so I named him Dr. Seuss!

/ˈtoʊtəli/ /ɪt/ /ænd/ /neɪmd/ /hɪm/

- Lorax is a funny word. - Lasagna! Just get the lasagna!

/ɪz/ /ˈfʌn.i/ /wɜːrd/ /dʒʌst/ /ɡɛt/

Oh, you guys just got a new place.

/juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /dʒʌst/ /njuː/ /pleɪs/

How many bedrooms is it?

/haʊ/ /ˈmɛn.i/ /ɪz/ /ɪt/

I would love to have an extra bedroom,

/wʊd/ /lʌv/ /hæv/ /ˈɛkstrə/ /ˈbɛdruːm/

because I would put a Stairmaster in there.

/bɪˈkɔːz/ /wʊd/ /pʊt/ /ðɛr/

But you guys should get a convertible sofa.

/bʌt/ /juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /ʃʊd/ /ɡɛt/ /ˈsoʊfə/

Or a futon. Futons are great. Or what about one of those Murphy beds?

/ɡreɪt/ /wɒt/ /əˈbaʊt/ /ðoʊz/

Who invented the Murphy bed? Was it a guy named Murphy?

/huː/ /bɛd/ /wɒz/ /ɪt/ /ɡaɪ/ /neɪmd/

Oh, my God. Do you guys remember that show Murphy Brown?

/maɪ/ /duː/ /juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /rɪˈmɛm.bər/ /ðæt/ /ʃoʊ/

That was a funny show. She had a new assistant every episode.

/ðæt/ /wɒz/ /ˈfʌn.i/ /ʃoʊ/ /ʃiː/ /hæd/ /njuː/ /əˈsɪstənt/ /ˈɛv.ri/

...and it was like half an hour before I realized

/ænd/ /ɪt/ /wɒz/ /laɪk/ /hæf/ /ˈaʊ.ər/ /bɪˈfɔːr/ /ˈriːəlaɪzd/

he wasn't even on the phone anymore! Isn't that hysterical?

/hiː/ /ˈiːvən/ /ɒn/ /foʊn/ /ˌɛniˈmɔːr/ /ðæt/

Two! It's two bedrooms!

/tuː/ /tuː/

Hey, do you guys like cannolis?

/duː/ /juː/ /ɡaɪz/ /laɪk/

Because I know this place and it's in the South Bronx

/bɪˈkɔːz/ /noʊ/ /pleɪs/ /ænd/

and you wouldn't expect it, but they have the best cannolis in town.

/ænd/ /juː/ /ɪkˈspɛkt/ /ɪt/ /bʌt/ /ðeɪ/ /hæv/ /bɛst/ /taʊn/

And just like that, the illusion was shattered.

/ænd/ /dʒʌst/ /laɪk/ /ðæt/ /wɒz/

She just never shuts up, does she?

/ʃiː/ /dʒʌst/ /ˈnɛv.ər/ /ʌp/ /dʌz/ /ʃiː/

She didn't stop to swallow her food.

/ʃiː/ /stɒp/ /hɜːr/ /fuːd/

I was scared for her. I didn't want her to choke.

/wɒz/ /skɛrd/ /fɔːr/ /hɜːr/ /wɒnt/ /hɜːr/

At first.

/fɜːrst/

So kids, this girls I was dating would not stop talking.

/kɪdz/ /ɡɜːrlz/ /wɒz/ /ˈdeɪtɪŋ/ /wʊd/ /stɒp/

Can you imagine how awful that is?

/kæn/ /juː/ /ɪˈmædʒ.ɪn/ /haʊ/ /ðæt/ /ɪz/

Do you own a wok?

/duː/ /juː/ /oʊn/

'Cause that's really how...

/kɔːz/ /ˈrɪ.ə.li/ /haʊ/

Don't you just love autumn?

/juː/ /dʒʌst/ /lʌv/

Today I'm dressed for... Oh, my God. The sweetest thing.

/təˈdeɪ/ /fɔːr/ /maɪ/ /θɪŋ/

And I know this great place where we can go.

/ænd/ /noʊ/ /ɡreɪt/ /pleɪs/ /wɛr/ /wiː/ /kæn/ /ɡoʊ/

They have guys and girls clothes. We could both shop at the same time.

/ðeɪ/ /hæv/ /ɡaɪz/ /ænd/ /ɡɜːrlz/ /kloʊðz/ /wiː/ /kʊd/ /boʊθ/ /ʃɒp/ /seɪm/ /taɪm/

And a lot of times boyfriends and girlfriends...

/ænd/ /lɒt/ /taɪmz/ /ænd/

Hey! Why are you running so fast?

/waɪ/ /juː/ /ˈrʌnɪŋ/ /fæst/

Well, thank you, pal. You and your little friends,

/wɛl/ /juː/ /juː/ /ænd/ /jʊr/ /ˈlɪt.əl/ /frɛndz/

you just had to tell me.

/juː/ /dʒʌst/ /hæd/ /tɛl/ /miː/

You just had to give in to my incessant begging.

Oh, come on. I'm sorry that we told you, okay?

Why do you think I call her "Chewbacca"?

Oh, my God, you're right.
