[English]

[Music]

hey babe hey honey so we just got a

wedding gift from bob and fabing

they don't like us do they

who says he can't get a nice punch bowl

for under six bucks

maybe we can take it back no it doesn't

say where it came from where would we

return it how about to the street save

from the balcony

but why don't we just find a place for

it

how about in that cabinet no that's

where we keep the canned goods have you

completely forgotten everything you

learned at orientation

[Laughter]

how about the closet by the bathroom

oh okay here why don't you let me do it

no no no no i will do it honey you have

to learn to sit down and relax and let

your husband take care of things once in

a while

it's locked you have to help me

why is it locked

no reason

i i keep private things in there well

you know i've been living here for a

while and i have never seen what's

inside that closet what is what is in

there

feminine stuff don't try to make me

uncomfortable with them and stuff

taylor there is nothing in there that

concerns you

if you love me you'll just you'll let it

go

fine

thank you

love you

[Music]

i wasn't trying to open your closet i

wasn't trying to open your closet i

swear

wow

monica runs a pretty tight ship around

here doesn't she

what are you doing monica has a secret

closet and she won't let me see what's

in it why not i don't know what could

she possibly be hiding in here that i

can't see

i don't know

ooh

i bet it's richard

why would monica be keeping richard in

here well off the top of my head uh

maybe she's having her cake and eating

it too you being the cake richard being

the two

or

and here we go

i saw this movie once where there was a

door and nobody knew what was behind it

and when they finally got it open

millions and millions and millions of

bugs came pouring out and they feasted

on human flesh

you know it wouldn't kill you to respect

your wife's privacy

stupid closet full of bugs

[Music]

not too shabby i got this all up myself

using my wife's tools

oh my god

how did you get in there

okay okay okay fine now you know okay

i'm you know

i'm sick no great you're not sick look i

don't love you because you're organized

i love you in spite of that

you promise you won't tell anyone yes

and look now that i know if i've got

some extra stuff lying around can we can

we share the closet oh

i'm afraid you might mess it up

[Music]

  ➔ The modal **"can"** shows that the speaker thinks it is possible to return the gift.

• how about the closet by the bathroom

  ➔ Suggestion with **how about + noun phrase**

  ➔ The phrase **"how about"** introduces an alternative suggestion – in this case, the closet near the bathroom.

• you have to learn to sit down and relax

  ➔ **have to + infinitive** for strong obligation

  ➔ The construction **"have to"** followed by the infinitive **"learn"** expresses a compulsory action.

• i wasn't trying to open your closet i swear

  ➔ Past progressive negative **wasn't + verb-ing**

  ➔ The phrase **"wasn't trying"** uses the past progressive to describe an activity that was not in progress at that moment.

  ➔ The speaker uses **what are you doing?** to ask about an action that is happening right now.

• i bet it's richard

  ➔ The speaker says **"I bet"** followed by a clause (**it's Richard**) to state a strong belief about who is inside the closet.

• if they finally got it open millions of bugs came pouring out

  ➔ First conditional pattern **if + simple past, ... + simple past** (real past condition)

  ➔ The clause **"if they finally got it open"** uses the simple past to set a condition that actually happened, and the result **"millions of bugs came pouring out"** also uses the simple past.

• you promise you won't tell anyone yes

  ➔ Future in the negative **won't + verb** within a promise

  ➔ The speaker says **"won't tell"** to indicate a future action that is promised not to happen.

• let's share the closet
