[English]

So how's he doing?

Aw, poor little guy.

All right, well, if there's anything you need,

let me know.

I love you, too.

Well?

Your brother's gonna be fine,

but he has to have his gallbladder removed.

How's he gonna pee?

Not that bladder, his gallbladder.

What's the gallbladder do?

I guess not much, if they're takin' it out.

You think he'll bring it home so we can see it?

I'll ask.

Oh, I feel terrible.

How was I supposed to know it was his gallbladder?

The doctor says it's rare in children.

Well, he's always complaining about some health issue

and it... it's usually nothin'.

I know, George.

I mean, how many times...

I'm prayin' here!

Right, sorry. Sorry.

(beeping steadily)

So, those pain meds should already be kicking in.

Then my buddy Gary here

is gonna administer the gas, which'll help you sleep.

And once you're under, we'll make a little incision

and snatch that guy right outta there.

Any questions?

Yes.

What kind of doctor says,

"Snatch that guy right out of there?"

Just trying to put you at ease.

It didn't work.

Where did you go to medical school?

University of Nebraska.

Uh-oh.

Did you at least graduate with honors?

Top of my class.

Have you had any alcohol

in the last 24 hours?

Not a drop.

How much sleep did you get last...

Gary, can we... Got it.

Just relax and start counting backwards from 100.

Wait, Gary...

Where did you study anesthesiolo...

(dramatic music playing)

Hard to port!

Aye aye, Captain Ahab.

Thar she blows!

Gallbladder dead ahead!

(whale vocalizing)

Captain Ahab, are you hungry?

Do you want a bowl of gruel?

Not now, Mom, I'm in pursuit of my inner demons.

Aye, she's a formidable organ.

Just looks like a whale.

It's a metaphor, doofus.

ALL: Arrr!

Sweet dreams, honey.

I'll try.

Your brother's gonna be just fine.

Yeah, I know.

I'll tell you what.

If I hear any news, I will come and wake you up.

Thank you.

Night night.

(sighs)

Key Grammar Structures

• So how's he doing?

  ➔ Present simple question using contraction of 'how is'

  ➔ The contraction "how's" is short for "how is" and is used in informal present‑simple questions.

• if there's anything you need, let me know.

  ➔ First conditional (if‑clause with present simple + imperative)

  ➔ The "if" clause uses the present simple "there's" (there is) to talk about a possible situation, and the main clause uses the imperative "let me know".

• Your brother's gonna be fine, but he has to have his gallbladder removed.

  ➔ Future intention with "going to" + modal of obligation "has to"

  ➔ The phrase "gonna be" is the informal contraction of "going to be" indicating a future state, while "has to" expresses a necessity or obligation.

• How's he gonna pee? Not that bladder, his gallbladder.

  ➔ Future intention with "going to" in a question

  ➔ The informal "gonna" (going to) is placed after the subject "he" to ask about a future action.

• I guess not much, if they're takin' it out.

  ➔ Conditional clause with present simple + informal present progressive

  ➔ "if" introduces a condition using the present simple "they're" (they are). The verb "takin'" is a colloquial dropping of the final "g" in "taking".

• So, those pain meds should already be kicking in.

  ➔ Modal verb "should" + present continuous

  ➔ "should" expresses expectation, and it is followed by the present continuous "be kicking in" to describe an action that is expected to be happening now.

• Then my buddy Gary here is gonna administer the gas, which'll help you sleep.

  ➔ Future intention with "going to" + relative clause using "which" + contraction "which'll"

  ➔ "Have you had" uses the present perfect to ask about an experience that may have occurred at any time up to now.
