[English]

CHRIS [voice-over]: I was the wrestling champion of the world,

until I lost it all.

Now I'm starting over, and I'm going to be

the greatest actor of all time.

If someone else said that to you,

you probably wouldn't believe them.

But I'm Chris Jericho.

♪ ♪ ♪

>> Well, how about you come over tonight, Natalie.

What do you mean it's too late?

You can just wear the same change of clothes tomorrow.

It's not like you have a job or anything.

I don't know. Why are you being so difficult right now?

I'm just trying to see you, baby.

You know what I'm trying to see.

>> I need to see Phil.

>> We could share toothbrushes.

Couples share toothbrushes, babes.

Well, you had your tongue in my mouth.

Yeah, in your vagina, yeah!

That's what I'm talking about!

>> You know what? I'm just gonna go inside.

>> Yeah, yeah!

>> Gotta tell ya, that is one hell of an offer!

One sec.

Come on in, it's open!

Well I think that Chris Jericho would be

very interested to hear that offer.

Is it still seven figures?

Wow!

Wow!!

Okay, I can't believe it.

You know what, he just came in.

I'm gonna get off the phone, tell him the good news.

Whooo!

Alright, take care. Bye bye.

Chris.....

Great news.

>> What?

>> One word: overseas.

>> What did you land me, Phil?

>> Just the best calling plan!

And if you join, we both get 100 free bonus anytime minutes!

What time is it?

Anytime!

What time is it?

Anytime!

Whooo!

Wooo woo woo!

>> Will you stop this?

Come on, Phil! Why do you do this to me?

I thought you were gonna tell me I got a big movie,

or the lead in a television show.

What was with the seven figures?

>> What? Seven figures, if you don't count

the area code. Seven figures!

Here's the number.

Don't lose it, it's important.

Take that. You'll be happy.

You'll be happy you did!

So what brings you to the Big Smoke?

>> That audition you sent me on yesterday,

for the cough syrup?

It's for kids' cough syrup!

>> Why would you go on a commercial audition for kids?

>> 'Cause you sent me there!

>> What? I didn't -- come on, Chris!

I don't make that kind of mistake!

We all make mistake, you know. Look.

We should be so lucky to go through life

without making an error or two, here or there.

You know what I mean?

I've got a lot of balls I'm trying to --

Uh oh. Damn it!

I keep mixing you up with that kid Jerry Crisco.

I can't get the two of your names separated.

I wonder how he did on that Ashley Madison commercial.

>> Can I please just get my cheque,

so I can get out of this madhouse?

>> Of course!

Come on!

That's not a problem!

Go see Todd at the front desk, get your cheque!

Enjoy yourself!

One more thing, Chris.

Anytime minutes, huh?

Come on, sleep on it!

>> Idiot.

>> What do you mean you have to charge it?

>> Todd....

>> Newsflash: want to know what they call

an uncharged electric toothbrush?

A toothbrush!

>> Todd, would you get off the phone,

and give me my cheque please?

>> I don't even know why you're acting this way.

I'm just trying to come see you.

>> Get off the phone!

Enough!

[ screams]

Ahhh! Uhhh, are you okay?

>> I'm good.

Woo! That got my blood pumping!

>> Okay, give me my cheque please.

>> Okay, yeah. >> Give him his cheque!

>> Before I lose it in this place?

>> Why are you holding his cheque up?

Give him a cheque already.

>> Man, this is just a royalty cheque for eight dollars.

There's no need for you to Hulk out there,

Macho Man.

>> Eight dollars.

Eight dollars!

Great job, Phil!

♪ ♪ ♪

>> Hey, it's eight bucks now, but they add up.

You get a lot of them.

At the end of the year, it's fifty or sixty bucks!

I'm playing the long game with you Chris!

♪ ♪ ♪

>> Did I tell him about the bundling?

>> What bundling?

>> The bundling on the phone deal.

That would've sealed the deal,

if he doesn't know about the bundling.

>> What bundling?

>> You bundle in, and then.....

>> Oh! Oh, so you're still there!

And you don't want to say nothing?

You don't even know what just happened!

Chris Jericho just threw the phone!

I was in danger!

I was in danger, and I was trying to protect you.

Key Grammar Structures

• Now I'm starting over, and I'm going to be the greatest actor of all time.

  ➔ Future with 'going to' for intention, infinitive of purpose.

  ➔ The phrase uses the structure "be going to + base form of verb" to express a future intention. The phrase 'the greatest actor of all time' is an example of a superlative adjective used to emphasize the degree of excellence. The 'to be' before 'the greatest' is part of the infinitive of purpose, explaining *why* he's starting over.

• If someone else said that to you, you probably wouldn't believe them.

  ➔ Third conditional (mixed), use of 'wouldn't have'.

  ➔ This sentence uses a third conditional structure to express a hypothetical situation and its probable result. The 'if' clause sets up the condition ('If someone else said that'), and the main clause expresses the likely outcome ('you probably wouldn't believe them'). The 'wouldn't' indicates a conditional result.

• You know what I'm trying to see.

  ➔ Indirect question, use of 'what' and infinitive.

  ➔ This is an indirect question embedded within a statement. Instead of directly asking 'What are you trying to see?', the speaker phrases it as a statement containing a 'what' clause. The 'to see' is an infinitive phrase functioning as the object of 'trying'.

• Couples share toothbrushes.

  ➔ General statement, present simple for habitual actions.

  ➔ This is a general statement about a common practice. The present simple tense ('share') is used to express a habitual action or a general truth. It implies that sharing toothbrushes is something couples often do.
