[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in this case, the colon just sort of serves as a connection between the purple part of the sentence and the yellow part of the sentence. Another example is something like, going skydiving made me face one of my greatest fears, parachutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Again, this colon is sort of linking these two parts of the sentence where


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One answers an unanswered question from the first part. Like, what is this greatest fear? Well, it's parachutes. The colon is here to link between this whole independent clause and the word parachutes. I could just as well say, going skydiving made me face one of my greatest fears. Period. That's a perfectly fine sentence. But without a colon linking to what that fear is, that sentence kind of just leaves us wondering.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So another sort of subset of the colon's ability to link things is that it can introduce things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] One thing that the colon can introduce is a list. I could say, we needed to find three more items on the scavenger hunt. A four leaf clover, a cauldron, and an abandoned ship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If I'm talking about the other day when I had a weird legume craving, I could say, I only wanted one thing from the grocery store, peanuts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm not really sure what that means, but she does say it best. So, as you can see, like it was in the first couple example sentences, there's kind of information missing from the first parts of all three of these sentences. We needed to find three more items on the scavenger hunt, well,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What did you need to find? Or, I only wanted one thing from the grocery store. What did you want? Or, my friend Liz says it best. Well, what does she say? That's where the colon comes in to introduce that missing information.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's one final case of the linking function of the colon that I want to get into in this video. If you remember from the beginning of the video, I said that colons can introduce an independent clause to another independent clause sometimes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's pretty rare. Usually that's the job of a comma and a conjunction, or maybe a semicolon. But as always, it's still important for you to know even the things that don't happen all that often. Something like,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Remember to take off your sunglasses when you drive through a tunnel. You can't see when it's that dark.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The colon in this example shows that you can't see when it's that dark is an explanation of why you need to take off your sunglasses. This is one of the two types of sentences where it makes sense to have a colon between two parts of the sentence that could stand on their own as individual sentences. So we can say, one, the second part explains the first part.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other case is when the second part of the sentence is emphasized. So this would be something like


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I drank way too much soda. I'm never going to fall asleep. These are two independent clauses that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Could be their own sentences, but they're closely related enough that it makes sense to have them connected as one. So the colon links them together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the second part is emphasized, right? That's the focus of the sentence. I'm never gonna fall asleep. So in these two sentences, we can see that the colon can connect to parts that can stand alone as their own sentences, right? Whether it's two independent clauses, like in the second sentence, or


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] An independent clause that's technically connected to a dependent clause, but can stand alone.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now, okay, this usage is really uncommon. I really want to stress that. Usually when we're uniting two independent clauses, or at least two parts of a sentence that can stand on their own as individual sentences, we're gonna use


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But in the case that the second clause or the second part of the sentence is emphasized or explaining the first clause, then you'll want to use a colon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Just keep that in mind, usually this independent to independent clause linking happens with a semicolon and not a colon. But regardless, this is important to know. It's possible in these specific cases. What's most important for you to take away is that


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The colon can link things and introduce things as part of its many functions. And that's the linking function of the colon. We've got independent clauses, dependent clauses, phrases, words, and introductions for lists and items and quotes. You can learn anything. Page out.

[Assistant] Late ironing, penalty £20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Really Hector, you must talk to her. She's too serious about this traffic warden exam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because the contestants are my responsibility. Nothing can go wrong. Wha?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Why are you dressed to go to war, Annie? I'm going for my traffic warden exam. Are you expecting trouble?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let's see. She likes children and animals.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She likes children and animals. Uh, she likes children and animals. Uh, ha! This one's different. Miss Holland Babe. She likes reading. And her ambition is to learn to read.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, here's another one. Miss Belgian Babe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exciting show. I hope so. Well, at least Hector is ready for it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen to me. You have one simple job. You must tell Hector who each girl is. Their names are on these cards. Got it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hector is doing a fantastic job presenting the Miss Euro Babe contest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss England babe is not here. Miss England babe is where? Her Porsche got clamped.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eunice wants to see me, and I've had to leave Nick in charge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Miss Spain-maid. It's all going wrong. He'd better think of something fast. Think of something, Nick, and fast!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tonight we're celebrating with both family and friends.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But then, I heard Hector talking to Bridget on the phone. He said she was beautiful.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I've just been watching Charlo's Kitchen on television.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But I see other people. I see Bridget, I see Nick, I see the postman.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am Ricky Chan. Yes. And who are you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Okay. It's a deal.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's someone who throws people out of night clubs. Uh, uh, uh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh Hector, you don't have to be a tough guy for me. I love you just the way you are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do love Hector but I think he is a bit of a wimp. Wimp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At least Nick has a tough guy job at ICE.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two hours? Don't you think that's too much? It was your first time, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, because it's melting little nut brown here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bravo, Nick. Come on, Bridget. Your turn. Do your dare.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Things I don't like about Hector.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nadia, I've had a brilliant idea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have to tell the truth for a whole day. I dare you!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Captain Chip Hardy. Pilot extraordinaire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am in a plane. Chip Hardy. Pilot extraordinaire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For a theatre festival in Paris? Now, who is going to help me rehearse?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ladies and gentlemen, this is your Captain Chip Hardy speaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We will now go through the safety routine. Exits are here, here and here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Life jackets can be found under your seat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tea? Coffee? No, no, no!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dan, forget about fast cars.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Forget about exercise in the gym. Forget about cool clothes. You have to get a pilot's uniform. It's magic with women. Captain Chip Hardy. Pilot extraordinaire.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello? Captain Chip Hardee speaking.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I have an extra ticket for Paris.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Harris was great, but there was one problem. Sophie, my actress, was ill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Where is the actress who plays the stewardess? Ha!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I had to persuade Hector to play her part instead. You are going to play the stewardess.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am Captain Chip Hardy. I...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The white broke her mirror, which means seven years. But like, just then, they ran out of petrol.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] His wife appeared. She smiled and walked away. The noise was very loud now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is a true story about a man and wife on their honeymoon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh, you know. Annie, don't be silly. You've got nothing to worry about. Although, Hector is a good looking man.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nick is training to be in the special air service.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few beers with the lads, he said. Puh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's Hector. Hector came home late last night, is that it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. Right then, we will give you a survival test.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This afternoon, Bridget and I gave the boys a survival test. Ready for your survival test, boys?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Test number three, pain. Hector is going to get us a tent from the national camping exhibition. And then we will really go camping. Let's go camping! We'll see who the real men are.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So who's going to go outside and get us some water? Well I won't. Well I won't either.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Exactly. This is the only stick not sleeping. It was just waiting for me to pick it up. That's why it's lucky.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is. In spring and summer, it was high up in a big tree.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And it was the home for a family of birds. Then...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When it saw us coming just now, it dropped down into the snow so we would pick it up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now it's ready to help us on our journey. Great!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But we could just follow our footprints. They could be the footprints of two other nut-brown hairs and a field mouse. This trail is ours because we have a special stigma. Good thinking little nut-brown hair! Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Do you know what else my lucky stick can do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] See, you come up to here on the stick. Oh?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Listen, what do you think my stick is hitting?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hmm. Oh! My lucky stick will find the food.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Look! It is a hololoog!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Guess what? I've got a new job!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am editor of Channel 9 Live. It's fantastic!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am editor of Channel 9 Live. Eunice is no longer my boss. Oh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So today we're gonna learn about hyphens. And what a hyphen is, it's a little stick.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Like this. As opposed to a dash, which is about twice as long. And people confuse them a lot, uh, but they have very different functions.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what a hyphen is used to do is it's used to join two words into one.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So for example, we have the word yellow. That's a word with meaning. We have the word green.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a word with meaning. And we may have a word that does.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, but not everybody wants to use the word chartreuse.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Kind of a, kind of a wacky word. Uhm, so instead of doing that, you might just want to say yellow green and connect yellow and green with a hyphen.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So yea, so a hyphen is joining these two things.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but let's say we had a sentence like, her hair was yellow.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, and so we're still separating the words yellow and green with a stick, uhm, but a dash is longer. And instead of uniting yellow-green, it's separating them the way that, you know, a semicolon might.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If she had yellow-green hair, that would be a different story.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So what's neat about hyphens, and what's kind of confusing about hyphens, is that whether or not we use a hyphen indicates how


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Common a compound phrase is. Uhm, so Brian Garner in Garner's Modern American Usage and in the Chicago Manual of Style draws this distinction with compound words and I should first say what a compound word is, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A compound word is, uh, two words smacked together somehow, right? Uhm, so, so if we take the, so once upon a time, at the dawn of the internet page. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When dinosaurs walk the earth, uhm, and I was just a wee little baby. Uhm, you would refer to getting on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay. Uh, and then as it became more and more prominent, more and more popular, this is what's called an open compound. Uhm, then it became online, separated with a hyphen, this is what's called a hyphenated.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And now, when we think about it, it's just an adjective and it's online. And this is a closed compound.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, uhm, so you would use hyphenated compounds when you're kind of in this intermediary stage of acceptedness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, uh, I think it's also important to hyphenate for clarity. Let me explain what I mean by that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So if, if a compound word could be misconstrued or misunderstood, you should throw in a hyphen or check a dictionary or a style guide. So, okay, so, Paige. Yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in order to raise some chickens, I need a chicken coop, right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In a coop, right, COOP is a place where chickens live. It's like a little enclosure.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But let's say I want to buy this coop from a community run business, right? Which is called a cooperative business or a co-op.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, now sometimes it appears like that, like that, like c-o-o-p, but if I said something like, I wanna buy my coop from the co-op, like that, it'll end up looking like this.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So in order to be clear, it really helps to...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So you're using this to say, oh, you know, this is actually short for cooperative, you know, because it's operated by a bunch of people working together, as opposed to this word which is just COOP.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let's bring all this together, right? So I made a yellow green coop with the co-op.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, yellow and green with a hyphen. We're connecting co-op with a hyphen to differentiate it from this word coup. And that's basically what you use hyphens for.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I would like some lemons, please.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To Bridget from Hector, uuuh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a bunch of words that say one, one complete thing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So a sentence has, it has to have like a thing or a noun or a pronoun. Sure, that's the subject. Yeah, and, and something that it's doing.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, they have to have a subject and a predicate, these two separate parts.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And am is a verb, so it has a subject and a predicate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see. So when we have a sentence like this where I'm telling you to do something.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There doesn't always have to be a subject said out loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is, this is like an order, right? I'm telling you, you have to pick up that muffin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, the subject really is you. You pick up that muffin. But I don't have to say it out loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello grammarians. Hello Paige. Hi David. I say hello to you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I say hello to the grammarians. That was an interesting thing to say. Yea, it's cause there's a compound sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So there's this distinction made in grammar, uh, between


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Simple and compound sentences. And today, Paige, you and I are going to cover those differences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, a simple sentence is really just what it says on the tin. Uh, a simple sentence consists of one subject and one predicate. And that's it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, in the sentence, I bought my friends some candy. Alright, we got our one subject, I, and then we have our one predicate, bought my friends some candy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now all of this together is what we'd call an independent clause. I don't want to hit that too hard right now, but you know, when you have this set of subject and a predicate together and it can be a sentence, that's called an independent clause. Uhm, I'm not even going to write that down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But a compound sentence is basically two or more simple sentences joined together.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, I visited the beach and I got a really bad sunburn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, when we're looking at this, this is really...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Two sentences together, joined by the comma and this and. Right, so we have our subject. I visited the beach.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I got a really bad sunburn, and we have our two predicates. I visited the beach, got a really bad sunburn.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So okay, so Paige, so I'm looking at this and I see I twice. What if I wanted to condense this sentence further?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give us, is this a simple sentence? Or a compound sentence? Because this looks like what you would call a compound predicate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But what you're saying is I couldn't divide this up into two sentences unless I put it in another subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so both of these things are simple. So this has, this is, even though this is a compound predicate, it's technically one predicate.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Page and I visited the beach and got a really bad sunburn. That would still be a compound subject.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it wouldn't be two sentences squished together, it would be one kinda long sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So let me change what I wrote here to just say instead of two subjects and two predicates, cause I think that's confusing in light of this information, let's just say it is two simple sentences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I do not. Well, only when I'm stressed.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you wanna do business with us, we'll ship your goods at our rate. We're done talking now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Is it true that Torpedo Boat Bastard is working for some country bumpkin' Rusky bitch these days? Yes sir, but I've been hearing that these guys will take on jobs from just about anyone, so long as they got money to spend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Benny boy, we've got two closing ports out and another two starboard astern. Is that about right?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Dutch, I've got several boats approaching.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Bit of maintenance work on the electronics, but nothing that can't wait a day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Despite that, there are still some fights that you must take on. Let's go! Prepare the torpedoes for surface attack!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Maybe you are exaggerating. Did you visit other parts of the country?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We are doing a lot to protect endangered species, make use of renewable forms of energy, tackle climate change. It's alright for you if you believe in all of this. Felicity, I am so sorry. So am I.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am sorry because next time I will suggest something less expensive. What about a walk in the city sample?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're going to the airport, you can take our complimentary shuttle. It runs every 30 minutes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Why is everyone afraid of me?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ah! I'll be the train! You know, I'm...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh. Oh! I have a good idea!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ta-da! It's the big snake train with hand straps!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Many people fall under France's enchanting spell, and Amy March was one of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] There was no question that he adored Amy, practically worshipping the ground she walked on.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They went to parties together, walked in the gardens, visited museums and attended the theater several times.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] While she was enjoying these activities and Fred's company, Amy tried to convince herself that he was a perfect match for marriage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That is, if her parents allowed her to marry at eighteen, which would be in one year. But something kept tugging at Amy's heart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amy said to a reflection in the mirror as she got ready for a party that evening.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amy had regarded marriage as a way to secure her position in society She did not really believe that love had to be involved


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She told herself over and over again. However, after meeting Fred,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Amy could not put into practice what she thought she had strongly believed all these years.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For Jo, love was the last thing on her mind as she busied herself in her duties as a governess to the Kirk girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe taught them how to sew, bake bread, whistle, play soccer, and love reading.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Her days were so busy with the girls that she had no time to think about the problems at home. And she didn't mind that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In order not to fret about Beth, about Lori, about Amy off in Europe, and about Meg coping with married life, Jo would either work on her writing or shut herself in the library downstairs and escape into a world of fiction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] On one such evening, Joe had gotten settled in the library and was about to begin reading chapter four of Jacob's Mysterious Guest, when she heard a man come through the front entrance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She buried her face in the book, praying that whoever it was would take no notice of her since she was not particularly in a sociable mood.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Joe, pulling the book away from her face, let out a sigh of relief, but that quickly changed into a scream.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Still shaking from the shock, Joe was unable to speak, but a rise fell upon his stalking feet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The man struggled for words in a very strong foreign accent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What a pleasure it is to finally make your acquaintance, he said kindly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The professor, according to Mrs. Kirk, was originally from Germany, but had come to America a few years ago along with his two orphaned nephews. He used to teach at a famous university in Berlin, but now he made his living as a tutor while caring for his deceased sister's two boys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mrs. Kirk said the professor came from a wealthy and powerful family in Germany, but in his new country he was almost penniless.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, the girls speak of you all the time. The professor was saying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then to Joe's horror, the professor began whistling a merry tune she had taught the girls.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blushing with shame, Joe who had warned the girl sternly not ever to whistle in public because it was not ladylike stuttered


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When his performance ended with a little bow, Joel clapped politely.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Appreciating his words, Joe asked the professor to join her for a cup of tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thank you very much, he said as he sat down in the chair next to Joe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] When he crossed his left leg and saw the hole in his sock, he quickly switched to the other leg. Then he let out a loud hearty laugh.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Laughing along with him, Joe took a moment to study the professor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was older than she expected, perhaps in his mid-30s, which, in comparison with her 20 years, was quite elderly. Yet he had a youthful energy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He also had an inviting warm smile and soft expressive eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He was not handsome like Lori, but his face was interesting, and Joe found herself staring at it longer than she should have.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The professor said in his strong German accent,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Enjoy those in just a minute and then we'll introduce the players, so have fun.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello Paige. Hi David. So we have three different sentence varieties that we're gonna talk about today. Okay. Uhm, here are their three flavors. Flavor number one, declarative sentences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, flavor number two. Interrogative sentences.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And, uh, flavor number three, imperative sentences. Those are all pretty long and wibbly words. Seriously. Uhm, but we will address each one of them in turn. Paige, if you please, what is a declarative sentence?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We can also use declarative sentences to just get across any kind of information. This is what we call exposition in writing. Right, yeaah. You know, so we could say...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lavender hated baseball. You know, you could start a short story with that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a fact about lavender. So a declarative sentence is a statement, just straight up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So an example of an interrogative sentence would be, you know, where did you go last night?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Incredible breath control. So that's what an interrogative question is.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pidge, I know you stole the cheese. Finally, the third kind of sentence we want to talk about today is the imperative. An imperative is a command.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeaah. So this is one of those sentences that doesn't have, uhm, a subject that is literally spoken out loud.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If you're not into bunny following, you know, something like, remember to wash the dishes. You're still, you're being commanded to remember.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Paige, I think we can recast our slogan, uh, in each of these three types of sentence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So okay, so declarative, right? That's, that's what it usually is. Declarative form is you can learn anything. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we can make it a question, so interrogative, so can you learn anything? Right. The answer is yes. Uh, and the imperative if we want to make it a command would be what, Paige?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I hail from a town called Tirex, located in the heart of Draconia, born from a politically respected family. At the age of 15, I succeeded in passing the Sorcerer's Rite, showing prodigy-like control of my magic. The judges and the Draconian High Council were amazed at how powerful my spells were for how long I had been training.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At twenty years old, I was the youngest appointed member of the magic guild in draconian history.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For the next few years I almost went mad from the malaise of being a guild member. As it's rather boring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, one day I happened upon a chamber, unused for quite some time. In the room were stacks of books and maps of the surrounding cities and areas around the known world.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I am much sharper than most give me credit for. I just don't pay attention to things sometimes. I've also been known to be rather cunning, loyal, happy-go-lucky, and well, dangerous.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And hence were lost forever. I found those answers to be unacceptable. A year later I devised a ruse and managed to convince the city council to lend support in me leaving Draconia on a mission of peace and diplomacy for the surrounding kingdoms, going from town to town and making friends and allies in and for the name of Draconia. Being a red dragonborn,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I had quite the task on my hands in that respect, but it was exactly what I needed so I could explore the world and find these artifacts, as I felt the truth was out there. Some may describe me as buffoonish, but I say poppycock to all that. I am much sharper than most give me credit for. I just don't pay attention to things sometimes. I've also been known to be rather cunning, loyal, happy-go-lucky, and well, dangerous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It can't be its own sentence and sometimes, you know, it might look like a sentence. It could start with something like.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A subordinating conjunction like the word because, for example, because it was delicious.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the bear roared is a perfectly sensical sentence on its own.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Oh my. This certainly is a surprise.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I never thought I'd see the day when Dutchie Boy would send you on an errand.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right, new items from Eastern Europe arriving by way of Cambodia. Oh, but one item.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well quite frankly, we do have the item. It's just that a different customer is saying they need it immediately. I'm sure you can see my dilemma here. However...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lagoon is a good customer, so I wouldn't mind handing it over to you despite the inconvenience. But...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'd like a better deal for us or a discount on your services.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I wouldn't make idle threats if I were you, Rebecca. If you insist, then why don't you bring Dutchie Boy around?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're right. This is W&M. There's nothing nicer than a good cup of tea.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I don't quite see it. What exactly are you getting at, young man? What is your point?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are you trying to imply that it's also true for illegal firearms? I'm afraid we won't have much of a negotiation if you get too hasty.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Young man, you can't make statements based on mere conjecture. You make it sound like the stuff's coming out of this place.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I see your point. If you improve your timing a bit, then you'll really take shape. Edda? Yes, sister? He's a bit rough, but he passes. Add the Arwen to the list. Okay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I apologize, but you'll have to be on your way. Young man, come visit us again sometime soon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You could learn a thing or two from that young man, you know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We're very proud of you, darling, and we want you to have lots of adventures. But we are counting the days till you return.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Now wipe your tears, my darling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a shame that the last glimpse I'm going to get of the German sky is of its usual leaden color.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. As a man who came here to study aeronautics I can hardly afford to be killed by a plane at this point. Not after coming all the way to Germany.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is me! It's a musical version of a tale of two cities. So, I think I'm gonna sing, New York, New York, and uh, Oh! I left my heart in San Francisco.

[Assistant] Ross is acting funny here because he is high or intoxicated on prescription pain medication because he injured his leg and took too many pills.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or meet with somebody with the intention of getting romantically involved. Date as a noun is the meeting with that person.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Type of unhealthy relationship where each person supports the dysfunction of the other person. Self-destructive. A type of dysfunction where people tend to harm or hurt or even destroy themselves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gorgeous, another word for beautiful but more sensual. With some people, like Shelley and Chandler, words like this are often used in a playful way to address friends of the opposite sex.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Figure. Another way to say I thought, I assumed, or I arrived at the conclusion that, for example, I've had this hairstyle forever, so I figured it was time for a change.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another way of saying you're joking. This is more commonly said as a question of surprise or when you can't believe something really happened. For example, are you kidding? Did you really just lose your phone again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, we often use so to simply start a conversation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Other times we also use it to start talking about a certain topic when we don't know exactly what the most sophisticated way to do it is, or even when we're a bit nervous, for example. So, uh, is anyone besides me going to do the dishes this time?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What we say when we're relieved about something, often putting your hand on your forehead to wipe away the sweat from your worry. Shelly even made this gesture. For example, phew, I'm glad to hear that no one got hurt in the accident.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's a shame. Another way of saying it's a pity. We say this when we think that something is unfortunate. For example, it's a shame she won't come. A couple. Two people in a romantic relationship. For example, are they a couple or really close friends?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Payroll. This refers to a company's list of employees and the amount of money that is to be paid to those employees. In this case, payroll is an area of the company where law works.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To set you up with another person. To plan a strategy to bring two people together for a romantic encounter or a date. For example, she's single because she wants to be, so people should stop trying to set her up with guys.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Out of one's league. This is said of someone who you feel is so much more attractive than you that he or she won't go on a date with you. For example, I didn't ask her on a date because I thought she was out of my league.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Believe you me. Used to emphasize the truth of something said. For example, I'm gonna get that job. Believe you me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He can tell. To tell is to be able to distinguish or judge something because of the existing evidence. For example, I can tell it's gonna be a hard day of work.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Flush myself down the toilet. Flush the toilet means cleaning the toilet by causing large quantities of water to pass through it. Here she says she will flush herself down the toilet to show she's extremely embarrassed for mistaking Chandler's sexual orientation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Talking to my breasts. What Rachel is implying here is that Chandler couldn't take his eyes off of her breasts when they were chatting the first time they met.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Me neither. Me neither is used like me too, but in a negative sense. For example, if somebody says, I didn't do my homework, you can say, me neither.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have equality. The guys have a hard time putting words into exactly what it is that makes Chandler appear gay. They could have said, it's the way he behaves, but they prefer a less obvious and direct alternative, saying, it's equality.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We have kind of a radar. This joke is referencing the well-known but very informal concept of a gaydar, which is a person's ability to judge whether someone is straight, heterosexual, or gay.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's right, while Elush was zero, he killed my father.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Stanford. Eradicate these hoodlums with a decisive blow. Roger that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My, my. It's quite rare to have you asking a favor, Dutch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We actually just picked up a job involving the Manny Serrera cartel. Your timing is impeccable, Dutch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know the way this business works. When things get stirred up, they're stirred up like a typhoon. Just do your best.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's okay, Rachel, I'm not judging you, that's just who you are. Me, I'm more free. You know, I run like I did when I was a kid. Because that's the only way it's fun. You know?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually, oh, there's a bunch of those dudes aren't there?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm gonna do that and I'm gonna spend two sorcerer points immediately to do quickening spell and do another spell right after that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] If Lelouch had been the one on top, both of us would have fallen. You exercise nut. If you're gonna brag, you should have saved us before we fell. That's ridiculous. Why am I laughing? After what Lelouch did to Yuffie.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lelouch, be careful. Jeremiah is heading toward you right now. He's an assassin sent by the Order. My kiosk didn't work on him.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right. Oh yeah, that's right. You two were waiting for each other here, weren't you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This area is about to become a battlefield, and I can think of no safer place for Shirley than to be with Suzaku.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Only some tit-sucking mama's boy would come up with that bullshit conversation you're enjoying.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sure hope she's not just some bullshit fantasy you made up. I'd love to meet her. Cause my cutlass feels too cold. Who knows, your maid could help fix that.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm just kidding. Well I guess there's no point in getting my hopes up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not when I'm dealing with some maid-obsessed brat like you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hey, you hurry up and tell me if I'm gonna get to shoot or not.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As long as you're not stupid enough to start shooting at us, you'll get the kid home in one piece. With his brain still in his head. Comprende?

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's perfect, really. All the more reason why we need to finish this off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm sure everybody is just delighted with this teary-eyed happy ending


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well fuck that! I'm not gonna pretend to be happy about it. What about this fuckin' tunnel on my shoulder?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Come on now, sis. We both know that's not cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Actually they're ex-military. You're close. They were either paratroopers or in the special forces.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They're pretty much all Afghan vets with an insane amount of experience and skill. She was the brains of the operation, and these men became unstoppable killing machines.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually, these same guys returned from that hell of hot sand and carnage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's my mistake for not knowing we were running a cafe.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You do know why I own that torpedo boat, don't you Mr. Chang? Dutch, now that's just cool.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's some bad luck, Mr. Chang. I hear you lost half the bill.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The U.S. Embassy! Sounds dangerous to me.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Chang, my man, two days does not give us enough time.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We've taken out the enemy's eyes, but they may not be the only one. Rock, Benny and I will be the bait and head straight towards Barcelona.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always think it's, it's nice to break bread with strangers, don't you? Oh yes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, it's not really fair to make you guess. I'm, I'm baby Jane Hudson.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'm going to revive my act exactly as I used to do it. Of course, some of the arrangements will have to be brought up to date. Music changes so much.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The minute I opened that door and saw you standing there, I just knew we were going to be friends. I'd been thinking about costumes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, I took some of my old ones down to be copied. Do you think that's a good idea?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'd like to see them, wouldn't you? Well of course. Oh, I wish Daddy could be here right now. You can never lose your talent, he used to tell me. You can lose everything else, but you can't lose your talent.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I always liked that picture, so, so sad.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Instead of a stamp, I put kisses.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The postman says that's best to do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People used to say daddy could have been a star in his own right. He was a musician too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's very hard for an artist when people don't understand. I remember when


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, Julie says that sister is kind of peculiar. Did you ever notice that?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] She said she was supposed to be responsible for the accident that crippled her sister Blanche.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But Julie's folks have lived here a long time, I guess you should know.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I just had the greatest idea. We'll stay here until they stop shooting.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Chang told me that there were supposed to be four of us. So what the hell happened to the other three?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, we are gonna go straight to the fucking base. I wanna finish this job and go home.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Not my new interior. If you must do it outside.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After a week of fighting, a young man in a red coat stands on a parapet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Smile, walk, do whatever it takes to-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Though in reviewing the incidents of my administration, I am unconscious of intentional error. I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Mr. Vice President. Mr. Madison. Senator Burr.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I couldn't seem to die I wrote my way out wrote everything down


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] John Jay got sick after riding five. James Madison wrote 29.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] President John Adams. Good luck.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Whom I loved and respected, but I failed to carry through with that loyalty! I just wasn't able to protect her!


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You make much of the fact that 14 times this court has emphasized that marriage is a fundamental right. Are you suggesting that in any of those prior cases, we were talking about marriage between persons of the same sex?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Lulu was zero, and Coach Valetta was a soldier, and Colin was one of the Black Knights. Then what about Nina?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Hello, everyone. Welcome to the fifth episode of Critical Role. Uh, before we start and get into the videos for our initial intro, let me go over a couple things for the evening. Uh, first off, we're shooting to get to 1,500 subscribers by this evening. And, uh, as soon as we get there, we're giving out a promo kit that's worth about $250.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Which is awesome. Uh, we'll all go ahead and sign it at the end of the day and get that out to you as well.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Also, uh, Tabletop Day is coming up this Saturday, and a few of us will be showing up during the stream as well. And any of you guys that are playing your own tabletop games at home or whatever the case may be, if you go to the website and register for each person that registers, we're giving away a board game to the charity Big Brothers and Big Sisters. So that's a really, really cool thing you guys should get involved with. That's this Saturday, uh, International Tabletop Day. Uh, and also, we received a present


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Happy card. By the power of hashtag team no stream, you have the power. From Negihama.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The party, uh, has initially been sent down on a mission by, uh, the Arcanist, uh, Allura Visorin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] In search of a halfling paladin who's gone missing named Lady Kima of Vord. A folk hero and very respected individual, she went on a vision quest and apparently went alone into Kraghammer seeking some sort of great evil that was


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, since traversing and meeting individuals in Kraghammer, they then spearheaded into the, uh, gray spy mines, where apparently these monstrosities have been burbling out time and time again over the past few weeks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, pushing down, they had encounters with umber hulks, they managed to inquire some duergar, which apparently there's a lot of them down here, duergar being an ashy-skinned, uh, subterranean dark evil dwarf-type offshoot.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Wandering through the caverns discovered, uh, there was a duergar war camp across the way, across this large chasm that was currently being run by a general duergar alongside what appeared to be and what they've now discovered to be a mind flayer, an illithid.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They managed to, upon looking deeper into this cavern, finding hidden behind a waterfall, thanks to the druid and the ranger, uh, completely stealing from the rest of the group their flying carpet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Made a very tenuous relationship and alignment with another mind flayer, apparently cast out of his own society, searching to find a way to both get revenge and find his way back into his colony of people. His name was Korota, lovingly called Clarence by the group, probably much to his own chagrin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] After which they decided to go ahead and try and extract information from this duergar general and stop this war camp from preparing itself for battle and its attack, seemingly on Kraghammer in the near future.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] We bisected it pretty much in one surprise round of attacks, led into a large battle in the center of this building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, partway through of which the ground began to rumble and then digging forth from underneath a bullet, a gargantuan armored burrowing creature that was hungry and very dangerous that then made the battle that much more intense. Uh, a heavy blood-filled battle later involved with Percy getting his hand caught and firing his gun into the gullet of the beast.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, eventually it had its armor pulled apart and was defeated by the party.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the remnants of the duergar army in the site of this building have been destroyed aside from a few stragglers that have laid their weapons down and the general now lies beaten on his knees before the rest of the party. And that is where we pick up and begin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, as you all are catching your breath, breathing heavily as the adrenaline slowly leaves the system, looking around this building with the large hole still glaring through the roof,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tiberius is waiting down. The general is currently on the ground, warhammer at his side, blackened armor still kind of sizzling with arcane energy from his temporary banishment via Scanlan.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He sits there with this kind of gnarled, uh, brackish beard looking about the rest of you with these wild kind of white coated eyes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you pull the blade into his throat, he kind of chuckles deeply against the strain.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, he does not appear to be lying about his interpretation of her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Apparently she is where he is, as to where her current state is, you don't know, but he seems to have a very, very made-up mind as to her possibility of being alive still.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, as, as she speaks this tongue, catches a lot of you off guard, you've not heard her use that tongue till this point, uhm, go ahead and make an intimidation check.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He's dishonest about the, the, he's basically following her lead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As he steps forward, he puts one hand in front of him, and his eyes gleam with a sickly green hue. Uh, you can see the, um, the general, kinda, heads his head back for a second, and begins twitching an eye.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The sweat begins to beat around his brow as Clarota takes another step forward, tensing his hand once more, his head beginning to bow forward with an intensity, a force of focus towards his direction. You can now see the general.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Let me see. And the mind flayer pushes once more into his brain. You can see a twitch to his face as his head kind of lulls back and rolls for a second, resisting as best he can. But his will is currently beaten by the defeat of the battle, the lack of his compatriot mind flayer, and the sheer intensity of Cloracan now focused on vengeance and returning to his people.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the blood begins to stream, not from his nostrils, but now from his ears as well. As Cloutra releases him for a second, he goes,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, uh, no natural creature you've ever heard has this type of...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Blackhorn. Very intelligent. That doesn't seem to be anything from nature itself.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, from your experience, there are different entities, but usually there are multiple horns, singular, demonic beings that would have extreme intelligence, sharp teeth, horns. Uh, you've had brief pressures in the past with demonic entities, so that seems to run in a similar vein, but nothing in particular is creeping to mind. It's going to be very difficult for you to, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] To specifically come up with this with what little information you currently have. Uhm, yeaah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So his belt falls, change purse and everything. He is wearing full plate black armor. So his trousers do not plummet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] He picks up his, uh, his war hammer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, he turns completely invisible, vanishes from sight.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Thin damage, alright. There's now a significant amount of blood beginning to pull down his feet as he's standing there. As he's frozen in place, Clarota just kinda steps up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So the front of him grabs his cheeks and pulls his head in towards him as his tendrils slowly wrap around his head. You can see the meat at the back of his skull, and with this horrible crunching sound you see his head shudder as his limbs go limp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The tentacles release. Clarota releases his grip from his head and the captain falls onto his back. Giant bloodied hole in the center of his skull.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, you look at the body, you find amongst all the duergar bodies here, as you're quickly jumping around and grabbing, it's hard to count the exact amount, but you're looking somewhere near about five to six hundred gold pieces, you'll have to check later.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A series of black iron weapons, none of them seem to, at a quick glance, have any sort of magical value. The uh, the blackened plate armor on the duergar itself does radiate a magical essence, as does the warhammer he was holding.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, Stiberius is looking over the equipment, kind of, pouring through his Arcan knowledge.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see there's like this almost rapturous look on his face you haven't seen before. For a moment, Clarota looks a little younger, a little stronger.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, but there's kind of this momentary kind of relishing in the moment.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you can certainly try. There's plates that have been broken and cracked. You can try and start cleaving away at it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you start, it's really tough high. You know because you've tried to cut through before and you've managed to make a few marks. It takes you a few minutes. You manage to get, let's say about, about a three...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Take three saucer-shaped pieces of armor out of it. Uhm, you could definitely get more, but then you start hearing bells going off.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You don't see anything yet. You just hear bells starting to go off into the city.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. Uh, so Scanlan, both of you guys grab, both of the Gnomes get grabbed by, uh, Keyleth. As...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, however, there are, for those who rolled less than 20 on stealth, each of you are getting three javelins each to you. So that's you two. And Grog, what'd you roll again?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twenty. Twenty-two. Twenty. Okay, yeah. So yeah, so you three. So three javelins against you. Uh, four and eight. Miss you entirely. Percy?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a 21, an 18, and a 20. So you take three javelins.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Curved around and you're going backwards towards the barracks as you do another volley of, uh, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another volley comes to the guys who are under stealth. Uhm, however, there's one attack less each because of the duergar that you've taken out. So, against Keyleth, uh, one hits. You take 12 points of piercing damage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Keyleth's form shifts back into that of Keyleth. You guys are about 80 feet up. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 50, 60 feet. You're, you're towards the back of it, thankfully. The, the barrack is towards, the barrack is towards the back of it, so you're maybe about 50, 60 feet from the full tunnel. Uhm, I just wanna drop it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, you take, you and Scanlan both take 36 or put Scanlan into negative as well because he was, he was not at...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yeah, on the far end of it, thankfully, uhm, you guys can hear the bells and the horns blowing in the distance. Looks like all the rest of the folks that were stationed here moved towards the center. We managed to arc over them, but they're gonna be here shortly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So as you guys are running toward the back towards the main tunnel, which you can now see, it's roughly a 40 by 30 foot tunnel. You go running through the buildings, uh, you see a few duergar kind of poke out from the building.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Towards the back of the entire war camp, into this tunnel, hearing behind you the distant echoing shouts of approximately 30 plus duergar heading in your direction. You hear a few other ballistae, uh, bolts hitting the wall above you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At this distance in the darkness of the cavern, it's kinda hard for me to get a bean on him. Let's just pass overhead.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As light hits, you can hear, just on the other side of the surface of a stone wall,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A level 2 potion would be 4d4 plus 4.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, which, administering a potion to a mind player is an experience that very few in this world have probably ever or ever will experience. As you kind of reach over, grab a shoulder, you look for where to put it, and the tendrils kind of like flail about, but begin to, they, as he notices what you're doing,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Pour it in. As you do, you see the wounds across, uh, chlorotis forming into a seal. The arrow is still stuck in its torso.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Shatters the glass, at which point you now hear, boof, boof, against the stone wall.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The carpet kind of drifts alongside you guys. Uhm, you guys are pushing backwards toward the cabin. The tunnel kind of begins to pinch a little bit. It gets to about a fifteen foot width before it opens up again. You're about a hundred feet back. You can now see it opening into a, what looks like an extension of the war cap.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, for the most part, you got a few rolls out of a book. It's fine. Looking inside though, this camp looks like it's been abandoned. It looks like it was built and then the expansion into the war camp you just escaped from seemed to be the next step, like it's slowly advancing and this section of it has been in disuse. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you push in towards the center of the camp, you can see there's older campfires. A lot of the tents have, like, partially collapsed. Dust has gathered, uhm, and-


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, looking around as well, you see all the equipment. Uh, any pieces that would be of interest have either been taken, either destroyed or broken, or have probably been moved into the war camp. You glance through a couple of the tunnels, or a couple of the, uh, tents, looking about, it's...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Definitely been abandoned, it no longer serves a purpose, and everything of use has been stripped and taken. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This cavern is maybe about 60 feet up or so, it's a little domed section, and you can now see there are two exit tunnels to this section. One that's kind of straight ahead a little bit to the left, and one that veers off to the direct left of you. So if you're looking straight from the direction you came, there's one right ahead of you, a little bit to the left, and one that goes straight to the left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the uhm, Clore takes a moment and kind of looks at you, getting his breath. I have not been


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you head to the tunnel, you don't sense any sort of temperature change, but it does seem to steady off into a decline that curves to the left.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, we'll say a general sense of this area. You look up and you can see in this area, unlike the previous sections, there are small clusters of bats on the ceiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Heads down to the tunnel. Continues into the darkness.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it continues at a steady about 40 degree decline, going further and further down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You get to a point where the bat is out of your sphere of influence and you lose your connection to the bat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 20 or so minutes down before it opens up into a small alcove to the right and the tunnel continues. This alcove, it's about 35, 40 feet in and it looks like there are remnants here of a camp that was set up once. Similar to the war camp but once again abandoned or at least currently not in use.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you guys are having this conversation, Vex does a quick glance over. There are about four tents that are still set up. There appears to be a small ring where a fire was set up. You can see bits of charcoal and bits of long, long, long forgotten burnt meat.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] This is an interesting change to your appearance. Either it's been repurposed, or there were more people with her, or, uh, since then, the camp has been used by other individuals aside from her.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] However, glancing through, you do notice that there are, uh, a few discarded travel bags.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Cluster of torches, about eight in total. Uhm, and as you glance about, you can see in this alcove, looking at the dirt itself, it looks like there was a serious struggle. You can start seeing...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's hard to tell, you see some of the, some of the footsteps and some of the drag marks, while mostly worn over, uhm, elements do show some of the fair folk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the duergar have a very distinct footprint or size, uh, you do see one that resembles more of, like, Gnomish or Halfling origin.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You see drags, grid-eye drag marks in the dirt, you see other individuals, uh, there are chunks of, uh, rock that have been, you know, chopped off the side of the wall that look fresh, where you can see the soot that has settled into this part of the cavern is no longer visible, where these scratch marks basically took off and exposed fresh rock.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, so you use your spell. You seal off the tunnel with pillars. You can just barely get most of the entranceway covered. There's a couple of small slivers and spaces between.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, there, what would there is is used charcoal in the abandoned fire pit, unfortunately.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you manage to fasten what appears to be a black powder, uh, impact-based explosive to the tip of an arrow. It's a little weighty and unwieldy. It might not be the most accurate thing in the world, but if it hits, it's probably gonna pack a punch.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Get your evenings of rest, you guys gotta keep in watch, gambling away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At a certain point throughout the evening, something perks up your ears. You begin hearing footsteps. Many footsteps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You hear them approach the outskirts of the alcove.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As the footsteps approach the outskirts of the alcove, the rest of you sleeping soundly, unaware of what's transpiring.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] A few moments passed and the footprints appear to be passing, passed downward in the tunnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Eventually when the foot falls dissipate and silence once again takes the camp.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so eventually when you feel enough time has passed where those who have been resting come from their sleep,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Spells recovered, wounds are healed, except for those who didn't sleep. You guys maintain the same health you had previously.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Before you start throwing potions around, because remember, you're far away from civilization right now. You have a very limited number of potions now to lead you through here, unless you find some way to return to the surface.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You'll eventually come back to consciousness in this darkened alcove, pitch black.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It is still warm, slight smell of soot and dust in the air. What do you guys wanna do?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're not completely in there. You can block off most of it, there's like little spaces between it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, yes, yes. 826LA, guys. It's a charity that we've been, uh, been trying to raise money for. Uh, essentially it's a, it's a Los Angeles based, also in San Francisco and other parts of the nation.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it's, uh, helps teach and tutor children, uh, in literacy, storytelling, uh, it's a really great charity, go ahead and look at the website, 826LA.com, uh, for any and all information you require on it, but, uh, they're a really good cause, they're good people, and been a fan of their work for a long time, so we're happy to help however we can, and however you guys are able to help as well, so.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Welcome back guys, alright, I think everyone is sufficiently, uh, rested.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Regain consciousness and prepare yourselves for the day ahead. Once again, you've got a number of days without sunlight without any...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Vision of the sky. It's a very disorienting experience for all of you unfamiliar with subterranean territory.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Even though you are rested, you don't feel rested, and there's kinks in your back from the rocky floor, the best you can find yourself, any sort of comfort here is from whatever you have on your back. Uhm, most of you are sleeping your armor out of necessity and paranoia. Uhm, as consciousness comes to you,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys are able to try and find your way back out now that you've been sealed in.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You have about a five, six inch gap between each of them.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, you all gather your things, you group together and you can continue in whichever direction you wish.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, uhm, keeping the best essence.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Of the scenery around you, you take a moment. How was the reach on that one?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys step back into the tunnel, all of a sudden squeezing through with the rest of your materials. Heading further down.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] About fifteen minutes of travel go by and the very air itself is becoming steadily warmer.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, the smell is this combination of kind of still water.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You guys press forward and you begin to encounter little trickles on the ceiling of orange glowing


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Progressing further down, you start seeing large clusters, little pools of molten rock that may need to form under certain sections.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As you guys hold back, you guys push ahead and you can see the little points of glowing light where these lava pools every, you know, 100 or so feet begin to appear. You begin listening out and you hear these footfalls are very heavy.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Okay, do you want to go to the nearest lava pool? Alright. It's very, very faint. Very, very faint visual. You can see there are a number of traps up and down for all different sizes. This area, this tunnel's traversed quite a lot of traps.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] From around the edge you can just barely make out these two lumbering humanoid shapes.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] They, uh, begin to step towards your direction.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see they're now both dragging behind them, this small, uh, roughshod cart.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so, top of the round, uh, no, the surprise round is for both of you guys first, because the rest of you are Russians, so, Vex and Vax, you guys get a surprise round.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You fire it, it arcs slightly. It smacks in the side of its chest and stomach area. Its concavenous.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What you see in some sort of a glass container that was in the back of the cart shatters and cracks.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] At that point, uh, it's just going to charge through as all it can see is the figures in the distance. Uhm.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] That's a 15. 15, okay. You barely managed to catch your footing. Thank god you didn't roll a one. That would have been very bad. Uhm, this ogre then plummets to the ground, now piling on top of his friend.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Both shots into it, you can see its form kind of quiver at the impact, but it's still slowly slithering forward. Uhm, now it comes to Keyleth.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 1d10 damage. Plus whatever the fire damage is on the weapon.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, oh no, this is for damage, so damage would be OB plus your strength modifier. Oh, uh, four? Yeah, so four still. So seven. And plus seven for rage? Uh, plus two for rage. Plus two for rage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, it should say on the, uh, actual, actual item.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gord is gonna move forward and is going to attempt a, uh, a woof that's kinda close.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, that ends its turn. At this point in time now, the Loud Ruckus.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's been clearing through this tunnel. Shit. You here.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And the other one misses, clinging against the armor. The hook scrapes across the metal, leaving this extremely loud sound. The other one goes twice against Tiberius. That is a 16.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The other one there? Okay, go ahead and roll for the, uh,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The creature that was harrowing... Pike.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Suddenly, it drops its claws for a second.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's dark and you have no light source over there currently, so you can try a shop but it's gonna be a disadvantage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Breaking out. Looks like it's having a really, really rough time making its way out.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No, you only want to take attack per round. Okay, eight. Eight, gotcha.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You know, when it's action to do the item move, action casts a spell.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Right there? Okay, so that's as far as you can get, unfortunately, because you're double fatigued. As you run past both of those


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] With an additional 56 points of acid damage.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You can see the small sizzling pool that's scarring the rock below it. You can see it slowly depressing the ground. Uhm, you gonna stay where you are?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] First shot, psshh, hits and the ooze kinda quivers, it leaves this kinda gaping hole, begins to slowly reform itself. Before it can, you see that other weak spot where the top of its physical form is barely wavering and it's able to keep comporial. You aim the second shot, as you fire, it detonates in that portion of its upper torso, whatever it would be.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As Cabiris hits light, in the tunnel you look down and you can see the hook horror, which portion of its upper torso is now


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. So as you guys steal yourselves for a moment, kinda recovering from that...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Faithful encounter. Uhm, you...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Twenty or so minutes, bringing yourself along, sore from the impact of the battle, bits of armor scarred, uhm, by the way, your, uhm, your armor. What type of armor is it?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Currently, as you're walking and you look down and notice that the armor on your torso has near completely dissolved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So Grog, the armor you had on was hide, which was a dex bonus of 12, 12 plus your dex. Uh, studded leather is also the same, so your ac actually goes up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] 18? Uhm, it should now be 20.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Along the inside of the cart, too, you notice there are a couple of just leftover chunks of


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uhm, these are either used to feed whatever the creature was in there or were remnants of some other strange collection. Uhm, based on the best you guys can ascertain, this creature was part of the


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tattered, this point, hide armor. Kron can do it.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright. As you guys take a moment to heal yourselves, you pull yourselves back up to your feet and you tread further down this tunnel.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Another 25-30 minutes of the slight curvature, it gets to get steeper and steeper until eventually it opens up into a familiar cavern to some of you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You're on the outskirts of where the, uh, the next tunnel opens up where there are a few small streams of lava pouring from the ceiling.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And I'll have more of this with you guys next week. The path you guys took essentially led to this back area, which I'll draw for next week, in a tunnel that lead curved all the way around and exited right there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] The one handling the war camp above, you acquired new magical items, and uh, defeated one of the abominations that was created for the siege war.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Alright, so taking the, uh, the flying carpet, uhm, it's a very precarious journey as the, uh, the weight limit for the, uh, carpet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Uh, the tunnel that descends further into the heart of this mountain. You can see streams of lava pouring from the top occasionally and one central flow of molten rock tends to fill half of the cavern, like a small river heading down into the base of the mountain. This is very familiar to you as this is the path that you dreamed took you.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] My body was discovered by my neighbor, Mrs. Martha Hooper. So the thing on the table is not blood. We say catch up, catch up, catch up, catch up, catch up. You can get catch up in KFC, McDonald's.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] As she was walking to Mary's house, she was, actually she was walking in her neighborhood, right? But she was walking like a thief first because she was hiding something. She was holding that blender tightly.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to send one right now! It's my neighbor.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to means you have to or you must do.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Send an ambulance. You have links down here, pay attention to that. Right? You've got to send an ambulance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] You've got to send one right now.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Grave stricken by the senseless tragedy. Grave stricken. Grave means the sad thing. Something very sad will say that thing is a grave or that is grave. For example, relatives funeral, everyone's in grave. Grave stricken.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It was her ability to look on the right side. We know every coin has two sides.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] How about a hundred Dallas? A week of course.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Then that's settled. I don't like talking about money, do you?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, I've got some family matters to take care of that should take about a week or so. Well, then I don't see why we couldn't start rehearsing right away.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tell you what, Edwin, I'll pay you first thing Wednesday, a month in advance.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I tell you what, why don't you come with me now? I've got to go down and pick up my costumes and well then we could go on to dinner from there.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm Casper the koala. Have you seen Joey the kangaroo go by?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Super fast, and I'm a bit slow. Usually I just sit around chewing leaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But it would be more fun if I was better at it. Can you help me whisper?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Are y-you okay mate? Mm, I'm fine.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I guess that's what happens. You take someone and they...


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Nah, not again. I need a rest, Whisper. Koalas are slow and Joey's a top tagger. I'm gonna chew leaves.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No minds, the camp is very often moving. Minds are too much trouble. We hurry now, if idiot partner talk.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Yes, Twinkie, I ready. You don't forget when we finish job, I carve some meat off your ass, stupid whore.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because explicitly so he can avoid producing documents. He does not want to produce documents. They know this is the radioactive stuff, so they're trying to basically throw Tam overboard. Tam on the lam.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] No can do. Like I told the girl. I gotta get a new knob until Tuesday.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, is this, uh, mistletoe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I'm from California. Right, right, sometimes you guys just burst into flame.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] So, uh, is this, uh, Mistletoe?


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] I really wanted to make this video today for two reasons. The first one is because I just got a haircut and you can probably relate to me that my hair will not look this good again until my next haircut, so here we go.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] What's more than that? Today is Thanksgiving, the American holiday of gratitude, so I wanted to show my gratitude to you. Thank you so much to all of our subscribers for supporting this channel, for helping us to provide fun ways to learn English. This week's scene is also about Thanksgiving.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] It's actually about Ross getting his Thanksgiving sandwich stolen. And you're going to see so much more about why this is such a big deal. You're going to laugh a lot. Let's jump into the lesson. Aww yeah.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Buddy, another word for friend, often for a male friend. We can also say bud to signify a closer relationship.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Well, what did the police say? Well, what did the police say? Ross behaves as if something really bad happened to him and that's why Chandler mentions the police, meaning it was so bad that the police had to get involved.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] People gather with family, give thanks for everything in their lives, and have a big family dinner. Leftovers. Food that is left over or that has not been finished at a meal and that is often served in the following days.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] For example, our dog is usually happy to eat our leftovers.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Notice that when we talk generally about the leftovers, noun, we use this word in plural.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] But when we talk specifically about leftover pizza or leftover cake, that is, as an adjective, we say this word in the singular.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Example. We could make some sandwiches with the leftover chicken from lunch. Hey, I'm gonna be divorced twice and I just got evicted. To evict. To force someone to leave a place. Example. They were evicted from their apartment. Nice sweater vest.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Sweater vest. A sweater is a warm piece of clothing worn on the upper body. It typically has long sleeves but a vest doesn't. A sweater vest combines the two.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] And shortly after that, there's a pun or play of words of some sort. For example. Knock knock. Who's there? A door. A door who? A door's between us. Open up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Besides being used in relation to the word mind, e.g. mental capacity,


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ross says this was what wet his pants, but that's probably an excuse he made up.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Or you can meet a deadline by accomplishing the task on time. Example.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Because no one met the deadline, the teacher decided to push it back by one more day.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Tough. This word has many different meanings, but what Ross means by get tough is to try to show you're physically strong and willing to get violent with another person if they bother you, or, as is the case here, don't do what you ask them to do. For example, the tough guy isn't always the bad guy or bully. Heroes are tough too.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Give me that coffee becomes give me that coffee. Give me is an extremely common native reduction of give me.

[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Gravy soaked bread. Gravy is a sauce made from the juices of cooked meat and other ingredients.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Monica's secret to improving the sandwich consists of soaking a slice of bread into gravy, which means she wets the bread with gravy. Moist maker. If something is moist, it is slightly wet.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Ross calls the gravy-soaked bread the Moistmaker because it makes the sandwich moist.


[User] Please transcribe this text

[Assistant] Fridge, a common reduction of the word refrigerator, which is a container that keeps food and drinks cold.
