Hey, Gina. You know any scalpers? I want 00:02
to ask Rosa to go to the Rihanna concert 00:05
with me, but it's sold out. 00:07
>> Okay, two points to make here. First, 00:08
Rihanna, you and then Rihanna. 00:11
>> Yeah. What's your second point? 00:15
>> She's got a type, which is really anyone 00:17
but you. 00:20
>> Yeah, that was my ex-wife's type, too. 00:21
>> Look, a Rihanna concert's a pretty big 00:23
swing, man. I don't know. She's into 00:25
watching old movies. 00:28
>> Cool. Where would I find a place that 00:29
shows old movies? 00:32
>> Oh, yeah. Just go on the internet and 00:33
search for the phrase, "I want to buy 00:35
two movie tickets for a girl who doesn't 00:37
like me." 00:40
>> Great. 00:41
>> Good. 00:42
>> Thank you. 00:42
>> Hey, Rosa. Rosa. Rosa. Um, I I I just 00:43
happen to notice that uh there's an old 00:47
movie festival play at the film forum 00:50
this week. 00:52
Want to go? 00:54
>> Sure. Cool. Awesome. There's a bunch of 00:56
movie options. I'll probably just go 00:59
with something classic like Citizen 01:01
Kane. 01:04
>> Citizen Kane is terrible. Pick a good 01:04
movie. 01:06
>> Good call. Smart. 01:07
>> I'll do it. I'll pick a better movie 01:10
than Citizen Cane. 01:12
>> So, what movie did you get us tickets 01:17
to? 01:19
>> Oh, well, just to be safe, I bought 01:19
tickets to all of them. 01:21
>> Just to be safe. What does that mean? 01:23
>> I don't know. Uh, I didn't want to mess 01:25
up because you're sort of opinionated. 01:27
>> You think I'm opinionated? Okay, here's 01:30
an opinion for you. You're a bad judge 01:32
of character and your shirt looks like 01:34
vomit. 01:35
>> So, we can go see North by Northwest. 01:37
>> We're not seeing a movie together. 01:38
>> Good call. Smart. Keep it fresh. 01:40
>> Here. I feel bad that you spent all that 01:52
money on the movie tickets. Why don't 01:54
you just go to the movies with me? 01:55
>> Okay. 01:59
Well, this is awkward. 02:02
>> It's not awkward. 02:03
I like your company. You're sweet. 02:05
>> I just want to apologize for my fellow 02:11
detectives behavior. Okay. My granny 02:13
also had the gift. 02:16
>> I feel that I will die soon. 02:19
>> She was right. She died 2 years later. 02:23
>> Your sincere belief in my gift means a 02:26
great deal. 02:28
>> Vision, 02:30
>> the woman you love, the one you work 02:32
with, the scary one with the black hair, 02:34
>> Rosa. Yes. 02:36
>> She doesn't love you back. She will 02:37
never love you back. 02:39
>> Say thank you, Charles. She just told 02:40
you your future. 02:42
>> Thank you. I hate to be the bearer of 02:44
bad news, but your psychic friend's 02:46
predictions about the drug case were 02:49
wrong, which means all of her 02:50
predictions are wrong. Mm- No way. She's 02:52
never wrong. 02:55
>> We found the cocaine behind a green 02:56
hamper. Never said green or the letter 02:57
H. 03:00
>> She said blue and yellow. Charles, I 03:01
don't know if there's any 03:03
kindergarteners present, but those two 03:04
colors combined make green. She also 03:06
mentioned the letters L and B. And 03:09
another name for a hamper is 03:12
>> Lady Bin Laundry Basket. 03:15
>> Little boo boo. Can you go be depressed 03:20
over there? You're buming out my whole 03:22
area. 03:24
>> So, what are you doing tonight? 03:26
>> Nothing. 03:27
>> What about you are doing tonight? 03:28
>> Nothing. 03:32
>> Carly. 03:34
>> Well, I hope you find something to do. 03:37
[laughter] 03:41
I'm going to pee. That's what I'm doing 03:42
tonight. Nope. 03:44
Santiago, can we please, please just 03:49
eat? 03:52
>> What if Captain Hol and Jake are coming 03:52
back? 03:54
>> Hang on, I have a toast. 03:54
>> I am thankful to have someone in my life 03:57
who gives me a reason to get out of bed 04:00
every morning, and I hope that my 04:01
relationship with this person will only 04:04
grow 04:06
more intimate. 04:08
>> Who are you talking about? 04:10
>> Um, 04:12
Hitchcock. 04:14
Okay, enough is enough. I'm eating. 04:17
>> What's it need? 04:24
>> Potatoes, [clears throat] 04:25
butter, a little milk, and I ran out of 04:26
salt, so I use baking soda. 04:28
>> Why wouldn't you? They're both white 04:30
powders. Of course, they're 04:32
interchangeable. 04:33
>> Yeah, 04:36
>> Hitchcock farts nonstop. 04:40
God, crazy day, huh? 04:44
>> I hate small talk. It's drinking 04:46
silence. 04:48
>> Perfect. 04:50
>> Man, you were totally right about the 04:54
cocaine. And you were also right about 04:56
Rosa. 04:58
>> Who's Rosa? 04:59
>> The woman I 05:00
>> The woman who doesn't love him back. 05:01
>> Yes, that woman. 05:03
>> You know, it can be a burden to always 05:04
know what's going to happen in the 05:05
future. 05:07
>> Don't get out of the chair. I just had a 05:08
vision of you leaving this chair and 05:10
getting seriously injured. 05:11
>> Oh my god. 05:13
>> I should probably will you back to your 05:14
death. 05:16
>> That is a great idea. 05:17
>> Will you off a bridge? I'm kidding. Oh, 05:17
you're alone. 05:21
You're alone for life. 05:23
>> Yes. What's up with the chair? 05:28
>> Um Carlen predicted if I get out of this 05:30
chair, I'd get badly hurt, so I'm not 05:33
chancing it. Oh man, there's no more 05:36
pudding cups left. 05:38
>> What'd you do that for? 05:41
>> There. Now you're hurt in this chair. 05:43
You can get hurt anywhere, Bole. And if 05:45
you do, it won't be because some shoe 05:48
salesman predicted it. 05:50
You make your own destiny. 05:53
>> Carlen, what's wrong, Gina? Rosa said it 06:03
herself. If I'm in charge of my own 06:05
destiny, that means she wants me to make 06:06
a move. 06:08
>> But Carlen was also right. You did get 06:09
hurt cuz Rosa punched you. And the fact 06:12
that Rosa punched you means she does not 06:14
like you. 06:16
>> No. No. She punched me to prove Carlen 06:17
wrong. 06:19
>> Who? 06:20
>> Oh, wait. I take it back. She definitely 06:21
is into you. So much chemistry. 06:23
>> I know. It's crazy. 06:26
If things go south, I just want you to 06:30
know it's been an honor being able to 06:32
boss you around. 06:34
>> Anything else? 06:36
>> Yes. What cute little nickname do you 06:37
call your husband? 06:39
>> Kevin. 06:40
>> Adorable. 06:42
>> Sorry you missed your flight. 06:45
>> I have a backup flight in 4 hours. 06:47
>> Got to flush him out. We got his number 06:54
now. Call his phone. 06:56
>> Smart. 06:57
It's ringing. 07:02
This is exciting. 07:04
>> That is H's phone. I repeat, everyone, 07:11
converge on that ringtone. 07:13
>> He's heading north on track 17. 07:19
>> Yeah. 07:21
Hey, when this is all over, we should 07:25
take a train trip together just for fun. 07:28
>> GO, GO, GO, GO, GO. 07:32
>> Ray Hole. 07:38
>> Hello, Haynes. 07:40
>> Thought about you every day I was in 07:41
jail, just like you said. I thought 07:42
about pointing a gun at you and pulling 07:44
the trigger. 07:46
kind of LIKE [screaming] 07:47
>> Terry's back. Terry's back. 07:52
>> We got him. 07:55
>> Nice work, Jeff. 07:56
Nice work, Baron. 07:58
>> Captain, you're doing it. You're 07:59
emoting. [sighs] 08:02
>> I need an ambulance. Boils down. 08:05
>> What happened? Am I dead? 08:09
>> You saved my life. 08:12
>> Die, pig. 08:14
Oh my god. 08:20
Oh my god. 08:24
>> Detective Boer, I just wanted to say 08:27
congratulations. Your medal was welld 08:29
deserved. 08:31
>> Thank you, sir. Your breath is terrible. 08:32
>> Charles, can I speak with you? 08:34
>> Hey, where's Rosa? I haven't seen her 08:36
all night. Did you know my wife pays me 08:39
alimony? 08:41
>> Okay, let's take a seat. I'm going to 08:42
keep an eye on you all night, little 08:44
buddy. 08:45
>> Okay. Thanks, 08:45
>> Rosa. Why are you sequestered over by 08:46
this old cell phone? 08:49
>> I'm avoiding Bole in his truth bombs. 08:50
>> I sometimes worry I'm going to become 08:52
you. 08:54
>> Keeps saying he wants to talk to me. I'm 08:57
afraid he's going to tell me he loves me 08:58
or propose marriage or something. 09:00
>> Oh my god, that makes me kind of want to 09:02
cry. He dove in front of those bullets 09:04
for me. I can't be mean to him. I 09:06
watched him make coffee for 28 minutes 09:09
this morning, but also can't lead him 09:11
on. Captain Holt told me not to let him 09:13
get hurt tonight, so I'll keep him away 09:15
from you. 09:17
>> Have you seen Rosa? 09:21
>> Rosa died 8 years ago. Come on, let's 09:22
get you a drink. 09:25
>> Hey, I need to talk to you. 09:30
>> Uh-oh, it's happening. 09:32
>> Remember when I took those bullets for 09:35
you? 09:36
>> Okay, let's do this. I think you're 09:37
sweet. I didn't know it was you. 09:39
When I jumped in front of those bullets, 09:42
I didn't know who I was protecting. I 09:44
just saw a gun and an NYPD vest, and so 09:46
I dove on instinct. You've been extra 09:48
nice to me because you thought I'd risk 09:51
my life for you. But I only did what 09:52
every good cop would do. 09:54
When you finally go out with me, and you 09:57
will, it'll be because I do things that 09:59
only Charles Bole would do. 10:01
Um, actually I have a coat in here. It's 10:09
uh it's like it's actually I see it. 10:12
It's like it's blue. It's like right. 10:14
>> Hey Rosa, better follow me under E for 10:16
Edgy. 10:20
>> What? 10:21
>> Cornrowse. 10:22
>> Why? 10:23
>> My ex-wife and her fianceé go to Jamaica 10:24
all the time. The theme of their party 10:26
is Jamaican me marry you. So good. So, I 10:28
still don't have a date. Unless this 10:33
sweet maze head has changed your mind. 10:35
>> I think we both know it hasn't. 10:37
>> We do. Fair enough. [clears throat] 10:39
>> Looking good, boy. 10:41
>> That's not a good sign. 10:43
>> Aman. [music] 10:45
>> Rosa, you changed your mind. 10:47
>> I blew off my date and instead I'm going 10:49
to spend a hellish evening in a Jamaican 10:51
torture chamber with you. 10:53
>> Really? 10:55
>> Yeah. Here's what's about to happen. 10:55
We're going to go to this terrible 10:57
party. I'm going to laugh at all your 10:58
jokes. I'm going to talk about your 10:59
medal of valor and I'm going to make you 11:00
look like a Jamaican god of rhythm. 11:02
>> Sebastian from Little Mermaid. 11:03
>> Also, tomorrow I'm going to help you 11:05
find a new apartment. Can't live in your 11:08
ex-wife's basement anymore. 11:09
>> Wow. Respect, man. I'm going to read you 11:11
my toast in the car. 11:14
>> You're giving a toast? 11:16
>> More like we're giving a toast. 11:17
>> Hey, my flight is at 8 tonight. It's 11:21
domestic. Think I'll be safe if I get to 11:23
the airport 5 hours early. 11:25
>> Five? No way. You got to do seven. Seven 11:27
minimum. 11:29
>> Seven. I knew it. Yeah. 11:30
>> Why are you going on a singles cruise? I 11:31
thought you were into Rosa. 11:33
>> Well, I am, but I've begun to feel like 11:34
there's a slight chance Rosa may not 11:36
love me back. Hey, how about we grab 11:39
some dinner tonight? Just you and me. 11:41
>> That's nice. And I like you as a person, 11:43
but I'm just not interested in you 11:45
romantically. 11:47
>> Julio, hey, what's say you we grab a 11:48
drink? 11:50
>> You're starting to make this weird. I'm 11:51
not into you that way. And I have a 11:53
boyfriend. 11:54
>> Gotcha. [music] Rain check. a rose for 11:55
Rosa. 11:58
>> Listen to me. The healthy thing for you 11:59
to do is move on. 12:01
>> So, we both decided the healthy thing 12:03
for me to do is to just move on. 12:06
>> I'm impressed, Charles. That's very 12:08
mature. 12:09
>> Thanks. You know, it's funny. I realized 12:10
like 12:12
>> Nope. Don't get comfy. This wasn't an 12:13
invitation to keep talking. 12:14
>> Gotcha. Rain check on the combo. Yeah. 12:16
[music] 12:21
>> [music] 12:37

Key Grammar Structures

  • Hey, Gina. You know any scalpers? I want to ask Rosa to go to the Rihanna concert with me, but it's sold out.

    ➔ Indirect Question, Infinitive of Purpose

    ➔ The sentence uses an indirect question ("You know any scalpers?") instead of a direct question. The phrase "to ask Rosa..." uses the infinitive ('to ask') to express the *purpose* of wanting to know about scalpers. The structure 'want to + verb' is a common infinitive construction.

  • She's got a type, which is really anyone but you.

    ➔ Relative Clause, Contrastive Structure

    ➔ The phrase "which is really anyone but you" is a relative clause modifying 'type'. The 'anyone but you' construction emphasizes a strong contrast – her type includes everyone *except* him. It's a common way to express exclusion.

  • Look, a Rihanna concert's a pretty big swing, man.

    ➔ Possessive 's, Colloquialism

    ➔ The use of 's to show possession ('Rihanna concert's') is a common grammatical feature. 'Swing' here is used colloquially to mean a risky or ambitious attempt. It's informal language.

  • I don't know. Uh, I didn't want to mess up because you're sort of opinionated.

    ➔ Filler Words, Adverb of Degree

    "Uh" is a filler word used to pause and think. "Sort of" is an adverb of degree that softens the statement about being opinionated, making it less direct.
