Lyrics & Translation

[English]

-Ohh! This isn't fair.

You really had to go and call my dad?

-He needs to see these, Michael.

Principal Humbolt and I are very concerned

about your drawings.

-These are disturbing and mostly threatening to me.

-It's not a big deal. -Not a big deal?

This could lead to serious consequences --

suspension, maybe even expulsion.

[ Knock on door ]

Come in. [ Door opens ]

-Hello?

[ Dreamy music plays ]

♪♪

-[ Chuckles ]

♪♪

Hi.

-Hi. [ Music ends ]

-[ Laughs ]

-[ Breathes sharply ] Oh.

Hi.

-Hi.

-[ Chuckles ]

Gosh.

I haven't laughed that hard in...

a long time.

-Right. Well, thanks for coming in.

Um, please have a seat.

-Thank you. Um, is everything okay?

-Oh, everything is fine, Mr. Seymour, truly.

[ Chuckles ] -Please.

You can call me "Marcus."

-Okay. Marcus.

[ Laughs ]

Have you ever let anyone call you that before?

-Yes.

-Wow. [ Laughs ]

-Um, yeah. So, your son did some drawings.

-Oh, yes. Um, the drawings. Yes.

You know, they're -- they're -- they're fine.

I, um...

So, I think this is me,

and it looks like he's, um,

putting a necklace on me or something, right?

Is that... -Uh, no, I don't think so.

I think it's pretty clearly

that he's trying to chop your head off.

-Oh, no. That's terrible.

[ Clears throat lightly ]

¿Por qué tú hiciste ese dibujo? Me tienes preocupado.

¿De dónde tú sacas esa idea?

-[ Sighs ] -Oh, my gosh.

-[ Chuckles ] I just -- I love your language.

[ Laughter ]

Oh! That gave me chills.

What is that?

-It's Spanish.

[ Laughter ]

-It's beautiful. -Okay.

Is -- Is that the only drawing the Michael did?

-Uh, I think so, yeah.

-Actually, no, there's definitely more.

-Okay, yeah. -Like, uh, this one right here.

-Okay. Yeah. Um.

This one -- this one is interesting.

Me again. Lucky girl.

And the school saw some sort of imminent beating with a bat.

But correct me if I'm wrong --

I think he's holding a ruler

to measure me for a wedding dress...

'cause I'm single. [ Laughs ]

Nobody ever had the balls.

[ Laughter ]

-No, it's a bat.

-I love it.

Before we continue, is there a Mrs. Seymour?

-No, she left us.

-Bitch!

[ Laughter ]

-No.

Like, she died.

[ Audience groaning ]

-Then the bitch is I.

-Okay, let's, uh, let's get back to the drawings, please.

-Okay. -Look.

To me, this drawing, this picture,

it -- it seems like he's trying to express himself.

-I couldn't agree more.

Hell, some of these are just downright beautiful.

I mean, okay, I didn't even see this one.

Look at me, flying around, big ol' rocket out of my butt.

And am I wearing some little leash?

Okay, everyone, write down your sizes.

I'm making shirts.

-Okay, well, I'm a medium, so...

-We're not doing that.

We need to show these to a therapist.

-I agree. -Okay. All right.

Well, how about this, okay?

What about, if you ever have any concerns,

you just call me or just come over?

And, listen, I'm not one of those, "What are we?"

Girls are the worst.

-Oh, my God, can we go home?

-That's a great idea.

Uh, thank -- thank you both.

Come on. -Okay.

Talk -- I'll talk to you soon.

-Ese bobo, ¿quién es él?

-Well, um... [ Door closes ]

-...for what it's worth, I am in love with you.

-Robert, this is a workplace.

[ Cheers and applause ]

Key Grammar Structures

• This could lead to serious consequences — suspension, maybe even expulsion.

  ➔ modal verb “could” for possibility

  ➔ The modal verb "could" expresses a possible future result: "This **could** lead..."

• I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

  ➔ present perfect (negative) with 'have/has + past participle'

  ➔ The phrase "haven't laughed" uses the present perfect negative to talk about an experience that has not happened up to now.

• Is that the only drawing the Michael did?

  ➔ wh‑question with verb‑subject inversion

  ➔ "Is" appears before the subject "that" to form a yes/no question: "**Is** that the only drawing..."

• I think it's pretty clearly that he's trying to chop your head off.

  ➔ verb + that‑clause (reported thought)

  ➔ "I think" is followed by a **that‑clause** ("that he's trying…") to report a mental state.

• What is that? It's Spanish.

  ➔ WH‑question with the verb “to be” + short answer with contraction

  ➔ "What **is** that?" uses the verb **is** to ask for identification. The reply "**It's** Spanish" contracts "It is".

• Before we continue, is there a Mrs. Seymour?

  ➔ pre‑positional adverbial clause + yes/no inversion

  ➔ "Before we continue" is an adverbial clause showing time. The main clause uses inversion: "**is** there a Mrs. Seymour?"

• I'm making shirts.

  ➔ present continuous for a planned activity

  ➔ "I **'m** making" uses the present continuous (verb + ‑ing) to show an activity that is happening now or is arranged for the near future.

• I am in love with you.

  ➔ verb + prepositional phrase to express a state

  ➔ "I **am** in love with you" uses the verb **am** followed by the prepositional phrase **in love with** to describe an emotional state.

• We need to show these to a therapist.

  ➔ modal verb “need to” + infinitive for necessity

  ➔ "need to" is a modal construction that is followed by the bare infinitive **show** to express obligatory action.

• I love your language.

  ➔ simple present with transitive verb

  ➔ "love" is a transitive verb in the simple present, directly taking the object "your language".
