Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Cheers. Cheers.

Cheers. Cheers.

Dang, this place is nice.

That's because it was supposed to be a date.

Cool. My first date.

Meemaw, I've been going through the church records,

and I noticed you haven't made a donation in quite a long time.

Why are you going through the records?

I'm an executive assistant.

Good for you. MEEMAW: You see,

God and I have a deal. And when he helps me win big

at the casino, I give him a cut.

And lately, he has not been holding up

his part of the bargain.

"Steak aw poyver with fritties"?

It's French. Oh.

What's a crock monster?

It's croque monsieur,

and it's really just a grilled cheese sandwich with ham.

I want that.

(chokes) There's lemon in this water.

So, uh, who do you think the Oilers

are gonna take in the draft?

Oh, I don't really follow sports.

I'm just gonna eat.

(door opens)

What's he doing here? Y'all getting a divorce?

No. No, he's just here for dinner.

Oh. Welcome, Your Holiness.

I thought you were hanging out with Veronica tonight.

We were supposed to, but then she invited a bunch

of her choir friends over,

and it turned into a stupid Bible study.

No offense. None taken.

Hmm. GEORGE JR.: Honestly,

I do not understand the female mind.

(quietly): Do something.

Georgie, why don't you go eat dinner in front of the TV?

No, it's all right. Sounds like Georgie's having trouble

navigating the perilous waters

of a relationship.

Believe me, I can understand.

You having problems with your hot wife?

Maybe I'll go eat by the TV.

I'm liking my crock monster.

Mmm. Me, too.

I can't taste anything after the lemon water.

I'm glad y'all are having a good time.

You're welcome.

Where we having dinner tomorrow?

Nowhere.

Dr. Sturgis and I are going to Louisiana, do a little gambling.

So a donation could be forthcoming?

Don't jinx me.

It's my first time going to a casino.

It's amazing. There's bright lights and bells and buzzers

and people yelling.

BOTH: Ugh.

Veronica says I'm the nicest guy she knows.

She also says she only wants to date nice guys.

Does that mean she wants to date me? I bet she doesn't.

No, she does not. Doesn't make any sense.

Nothing they do makes any sense.

GEORGE JR.: I know... At least he's not crying anymore.

JEFF: Devil's got something to do with it.

Mary, George, I can't thank you enough for this.

It was our pleasure.

So, Pastor, are you gonna try

and talk things out with Selena?

Well, we're really not on speaking terms,

so I'll just be heading back to my office, sleep on the couch.

That's ridiculous. He can stay with us, can't he?

Uh, I guess that'd be okay.

Of course it would. JEFF: Oh.

I couldn't possibly impose.

GEORGE JR.: Sure you could.

In fact, you can take my room.

Well, y'all are too kind.

(door opens)

Hello. Oh.

Did y'all have a good time?

Yes. It was great.

Oh, Mom, Pastor Jeff is gonna be spending the night.

If the kids could sleep at your place?

No. Bye.

Key Grammar Structures

• That's because it was "supposed to" be a date.

  ➔ supposed to + infinitive (expresses expectation or planned outcome)

  ➔ The phrase "supposed to" is used to talk about something that was expected or planned: "It was "supposed to" be a date."

• I noticed you "haven't made" a donation in quite a long time.

  ➔ present perfect negative (have/has + not + past participle)

  ➔ "Haven't made" indicates an action that has not occurred up to the present moment.

• And when he "helps" me win big at the casino, I "give" him a cut.

  ➔ Zero conditional (when + present simple, present simple)

  ➔ "When" introduces a condition that is always true; both verbs are in the present simple: "when he "helps"…, I "give"…".

• I "can't" taste anything after the lemon water.

  ➔ Modal verb for inability (can + not + base verb)

  ➔ "Can't" is the contracted form of "cannot" and shows that the speaker is unable to taste anything.

• "I bet" she doesn't.

  ➔ Modal verb "bet" for speculation (bet + simple present)

  ➔ "Bet" is informal slang meaning "I'm sure" or "I think"; it is followed by a present‑tense clause: "I bet she doesn't."

• He can stay with us, "can't he?"

  ➔ Tag question with a modal verb (can't he?)

  ➔ The sentence ends with a tag "can't he?" to ask for confirmation, mirroring the modal "can" in the main clause.

• If the kids "could" sleep at your place?

  ➔ Polite request using modal "could" in a conditional clause

  ➔ "Could" softens the request, making it sound more courteous: "If the kids "could" sleep at your place?"

• I'm glad y'all are "having" a good time.

  ➔ Present continuous for an ongoing situation (are having)

  ➔ "Are having" shows that the good time is happening right now, not a past event.

• I'm an "executive assistant".

  ➔ Simple present with a noun complement (am + noun)

  ➔ "I'm" is the contraction of "I am"; the speaker identifies their job role using a noun phrase.
