[English]

It's 4 o'clock... Aunt Martha should have been here an hour ago

I'm starving to death!

Huh? Listen to this Pat! An asteroid suddenly changed course and is expected to strike the earth.

It's actually supposed to hit in the next few minutes.

Give me that!

First of it says it 'could' hit the earth like I 'could' hit you but I won't and second

it's this big...

and furthermore the chances of it hitting either one of us on the head would be a gazillion to one!

Understood?

It's time for tea and if she's not here soon then I'll have her cake and eat it too.

ASTEROID! AAH!!

It's the mother asteroid looking for her baby!

Aggghhhhhhhhh

Stan... This doesn't look like home or Kansas!

- Stan, so where are we? - The asteroid tore through the centre of the earth.

- We landed on the other side! - We're in China?

No, more like the anti-pole. We're at the polar opposite of where we started.

Wait, I have no idea what you're talking about. Are you sure it's not China? I'm craving Moo shu pork!

It's me! Hello? Patrick? Stanley? Oh they spoil me, preparing my tea.

Boys? You upstairs? Playing blanky-wanky?

Carrots? But those aren't peas, they look familiar - they're us.

How are you? You're easy on the eyes. Hey, are we related?

My skins so smooth and indigo!

Ha, nothing to worry about it's a mirror! Watch this... and... ta-da!

Don't you see Stan, it's only our reflections.

I wonder if I can get him to pick my nose. Let's see.

I have a bad feeling about this...

Stan relax, they're inviting us to lunch!

Oh yeah? Since when do you speak their language?

You still struggle with English!

Okay, okay, maybe just a sandwich.

Boys! Enough now! This is getting boring! Come out!

Stanley....Waaaggghhhhh.....

Thank you so much, I don't want to seem rude but can I have mine without parsley?

Don't worry about the garnish because you and I are the main course!

What did you say?

I SAID WE'RE THE MEAT THAT GOES WITH ALL THOSE VEGETABLES!

These people have gone to a lot of trouble to make us lunch and all you do is get paranoid.

I won't need a doggy bag because I'm on a diet.

Where are you going?

Don't leave! You know how I hate to eat alone!

So there you are! That rodent neighbour of yours has been digging holes in your backyard again.

I had a very nasty fall. You need to speak to her.

Stanley, you don't look well. Are you warm, feeling feverish?

Feverish? No, but they are giving us a warm welcome.

I didn't realise you organised a family gathering. Er, hello! I'm Stan's Aunt Martha and you?

Enough, the next cousin who pokes in my hair will get teabagged.

Hey, where are you taking me? Who knew we were related to such blue trash!

One of you give me your cup and pour me some tea!

- I'll be back in two minutes! - 2 minutes?! By then, we're wonton soup!

I see! You are blue trash and you think I'm your ma kettle, well I have a much better figure!

- It's getting hot! - My nephews! Pot luck soup!

Hear me, your earl grey goddess of high tea and ice cold chai lattes!

Don't overcook those pale beasts you have simmering over there. I prefer them stirred not shaken.

They're done. Now I want a picnic by that big hole I came though.

I like to look down whilst I'm chowing down!

Stan? The last time I heard Aunt Martha howl like that we used bleach on her favourite undies.

It's time for lunch.

Let's go now... it's the end of the road.

Next time, try boiling a chicken. Bye bye!

That was so scary! The cake you made gave me a nightmare!

Me too! Anything new in your batter? Maybe like, sleeping pills?

Besides chocolate, flour, eggs and butter I added cream of anchovies and pickled lard.

- I think I'm going to vomit! - What, no banana?

I forgot! For extra flavour, I added soy sausage and a cup of grated parmesan.

It's the three c-h's - chocolate, cheese and chorizo!

Key Grammar Structures

• It's 4 o'clock... Aunt Martha should have been here an hour ago

  ➔ Modal verbs of obligation/expectation (should have)

  ➔ "should have" indicates an expectation that wasn't met. It implies Aunt Martha was expected to arrive earlier. The structure is 'modal verb + have + past participle'.

• First of it says it 'could' hit the earth like I 'could' hit you but I won't

  ➔ Conditional sentences (first conditional implied), modal verbs of possibility (could)

  ➔ The use of 'could' expresses possibility. The structure 'like I could...' creates a comparison to illustrate the low probability. The 'but I won't' adds a further layer of certainty regarding the speaker's actions.

• It's time for tea and if she's not here soon then I'll have her cake and eat it too.

  ➔ First conditional, colloquial idiom ('have your cake and eat it too')

  ➔ The 'if' clause sets up a condition. 'I'll have' is the main clause expressing the result. The idiom 'have her cake and eat it too' means to want to enjoy the benefits of two conflicting situations.

• Stan relax, they're inviting us to lunch!

  ➔ Imperative mood, present continuous for ongoing action

  ➔ "Stan relax" is a direct command (imperative). "They're inviting" uses the present continuous to show the invitation is happening *now*.
