Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Howard. Howard. Howard.

What now?

I have to go to the bathroom. You just

went to the bathroom. I didn't use it

because it didn't seem

safe. Despite all my emails, the toilet

didn't have a seat belt.

Well, it still doesn't. I realize that

that safety concerns went out the window

two apple juices ago.

Fine.

Why are you getting annoyed? I'm trying

to be a better friend, but you

constantly say and do irritating things.

Like when when? How about in the car?

I'm an astronaut and you know it. You

just don't like admitting it because

you're jealous.

Well, truth be told, as a child, I did

dream of going to space. Those

astronauts are my heroes. And when you

got to go, it was hard for me.

Thank you. Because it made me realize

I'll just send anyone up

there. Aren't you going to let me out?

Nope. But I still need to use the

bathroom. Here you go. Be creative. Now,

what's the matter? You scared of a

little turbulence? No. Turbulence is

just the equalization of dal temperature

variations in the atmosphere. Not scared

at

all. Oh, apple juice. Stay where you

are. This is nothing. I experienced way

worse when I was plummeting back to

Earth, apparently not being a real

astronaut. Okay, that was a big

one. I take it back. I'm scared of

turbulence, but I need that

backpack. I'm sorry for every mean thing

I ever did or said to you. I'm sorry,

too. It's all my fault.

If you weren't my friend, there'd be a

hole in my life. Thank you, Shelton.

Kind of like when Firefly was cancelled,

but not as big.

[Music]

The captain has turned off the fastened

seat belt sign. You're now free to move

about the cabin.

It's over.

Yeah. Should we stop holding hands now?

in a minute. Okay, good.

Key Grammar Structures

• I didn't use it because it didn't seem safe.

  ➔ Past Simple & Past Perfect (implied)

  ➔ The sentence uses the past simple ("didn't use", "didn't seem") to describe past actions and states. The reason for not using the bathroom is linked to a perceived lack of safety, implying a prior assessment. The 'didn't seem' suggests a state that existed in the past.

• Well, it still doesn't.

  ➔ Present Simple with Auxiliary Verb

  ➔ The use of 'still' emphasizes the continuation of a negative state – the toilet *continues* not to have a seatbelt. The auxiliary verb 'does' is crucial for forming the negative and maintaining correct tense.

• Why are you getting annoyed?

  ➔ Present Continuous for Annoyance/Changing Behavior

  ➔ The present continuous ("are getting") isn't describing an action happening *right now*, but a developing state or a change in behavior. It implies the person is becoming increasingly annoyed.

• Aren't you going to let me out?

  ➔ Tag Question

  ➔ The use of a tag question ("aren't you") seeks confirmation of an expectation. It's not a genuine request for information, but a rhetorical device expressing frustration or impatience.
