[0:52]Whatever it was, it wasn't natural. Does anyone have any sunblock? Yeah, I do. Oh. So... I was just looking inside the fuselage. It's pretty grim in there. Do you think we should do something about the, uh... ...B-O-D-Y-S?
[1:16]What are you spelling, man, "Bodies"? B-O-D-I-E-S. That sounds like a good idea. No, they'll deal with it when they get here. I'm gonna go out and look for the cockpit. See if we can find a transceiver to send a distress signal. Help the rescue team. You're gonna need to keep an eye on the wounded. If the guy in the suit wakes up, try to keep him calm, but don't let him remove that piece of shrapnel. You understand? Yeah. Got it. What about the guy with the leg, the tourniquet? I stopped the bleeding. I took it off last night. He should be all right. Yeah, cool. Good job. I'll come with. I wanna help. I don't need any more help. No, it's cool. I don't really feel like standing still, so...
[2:08]Oh. So... I was just looking inside the fuselage. The fuselage is the main body of an aircraft. As you might know, this series tells the story of a group of survivors of a plane crash, and in this scene the accident has just happened, so they are still helping the people that were injured and starting to get organized on the mysterious island. It's pretty grim in there. Grim is a great word to use when you want to refer to something sinister, somber or ghastly. Let's look at some examples of this word in order to better understand it. Including saving brave William from his grim fate. I'd like to know what's behind that grim look on your face. I don't do that. You know it. Let's go, come on. By this phrase Hugo is saying that there are lots of victims on the inside of the plane. I'm gonna go out and look for the cockpit. This word is also related to planes, it refers to the cabin that is the compartment where you can find the pilots. As the plane was destroyed after the crash and its parts fell in different places, Jack will go and look for it. See if we can find a transceiver to send a distress signal. Help the rescue team. As I mentioned before, Jack wants to find the cockpit in order to send a signal to help a rescue team to find the island. For this reason, he needs to find a transceiver, which is a wireless communications device, to send a distress signal. A distress signal is used for obtaining help, and is often communicated by radio and audible from a long distance. You might have heard about "S.O.S." and Morse code, this is the standard distress signal that is used internationally. You're gonna need to keep an eye on the wounded. Wounded is another term for injured. Let's see some more examples of this word: Maybe he's growing weaker. Maybe he's dying. No. No, it's more like he's wounded. Get the wounded on horses. Do you know which of these is the meaning of the expression "to keep an eye on (someone)"?
[4:32]Jack is asking Boone to pay attention to the people that are injured, in case someone needs help. If the guy in the suit wakes up, try to keep him calm, but don't let him remove that piece of shrapnel. You understand? Shrapnel is a small piece of metal that flies through the air after an explosion. As you can imagine, shrapnel is very dangerous and can severely injure people. As Jack is a doctor, he is giving Boone indications for helping the survivors that are wounded. Yeah. Got it. What about the guy with the leg, the tourniquet? I stopped the bleeding. I took it off last night. A tourniquet is a device used for compressing a limb (such as a leg or arm) to limit but not stop the flow of blood. A tourniquet can save someone's life, as it can prevent someone from bleeding to death. I wanna help. I don't need any more help. No, it's cool. I don't really feel like standing still, so... This expression is very common and it is used to say that you have a desire or inclination to do something. There are three girls and three guys right here. Oh, I don't feel like kissing anyone tonight. Come on! Joey! Open up! We want to talk to you! I don't feel like talking! Oh, come on, Joey! We care about you. We're worried about you. Charlie is saying that he doesn't feel like standing still, so that means that he would rather be doing something else than standing without doing anything.

[6:50]Can I ask you something? Me? I'd be thrilled. I've been waiting. Have we ever met anywhere? No. That would be unlikely.
[7:05]I look familiar, though, right? Yeah. You can't quite place it? No, I can't. Yeah, I think I know. You do? You all, everybody. You all, everybody. You never heard of Drive Shaft? The band? Yeah, the band. You were in Drive Shaft? I am in Drive Shaft. I play bass. Serious? Yeah. Charlie. Track three, you know? I do backing vocals. My friend Beth would freak. She loves you guys! Give me Beth's number, I'll call her. I'd love to. Does she live nearby? You ever heard of Drive Shaft? You all, everybody. You all, every... body. We gotta keep moving.

You can't quite place it? No, I can't. By asking this, Charlie is testing Kate to see if she can remember the reason why his face looks familiar to her. Charlie. Track three, you know? I do backing vocals. My friend Beth would freak. She loves you guys! Charlie plays the bass in a popular band called Drive Shaft, and that is the reason why his face looked familiar to Kate. In this band he not only plays the bass but also does some backing vocals. Backing vocalists are singers who provide vocal harmony with the lead vocalist. backing vocals. My friend Beth would freak. She loves you guys! Give me Beth's number, I'll call her. I'd love to. To freak is to panic or be surprised. As Kate's friend seems to be a big fan of the band, she would freak if she was able to meet a member of it. I'd love to. Does she live nearby? You ever heard of Drive Shaft? You all, everybody. You all, every... body. When speaking informally, it is extremely common for natives to remove the auxiliary verbs in questions, so as you can see here Kate doesn't say: Have you ever heard of Drive Shaft?
[10:16]Does she live nearby? You ever heard of Drive Shaft? You all, everybody. You all, every... body. We gotta keep moving.
[10:27]Did you notice how fast Jack said this sentence? Let's hear it again: We gotta keep moving. Natives are able to speak very fast due to the way that they connect their words together, this is called connected speech. So you probably learned at school that the correct way to say this phrase is like this: We have got to keep moving. However, in informal speech the words have got to morph and merge into gotta. And here, as the T sound is between vowel sounds, it morphs to a soft D. So instead of saying: We gotta keep moving. Jack says: We gotta keep moving. Let's hear it again, fast and slow. We gotta keep moving. We gotta keep moving. Let's see some more examples of this type of sound morphing. So, um, I gotta get going. Okay, I'll see you tonight? Yeah. We love doing business with you, but I gotta put my foot down when it comes to Claire.
[11:37]Can I ask you something? Me? I'd be thrilled. Whatever it was, it wasn't natural. Does anyone have any sunblock? Yeah, I do. Oh. So... I was just looking inside the fuselage. It's pretty grim in there. If something is grim, it means it is...
[12:08]You think we should do something about the, uh... ...B-O-D-Y-S?
[12:16]What are you spelling, man, "Bodies"? B-O-D-I-E-S. That sounds like a good idea. No, they'll deal with it when they get here. I'm gonna go out and look for the cockpit. See if we can find a transceiver to send a distress signal. Help the rescue team. You're gonna need to keep an eye on the wounded. Who is he talking about when saying to keep an eye on the wounded?
[12:48]If the guy in the suit wakes up, try to keep him calm, but don't let him remove that piece of shrapnel. You understand? Yeah. Got it. What about the guy with the leg, the tourniquet? I stopped the bleeding. I took it off last night. He should be all right. Yeah, cool. Good job. I'll come with. I wanna help. I don't need any more help. No, it's cool. I don't really feel like standing still, so...
[13:13]Can I ask you something? Me? I'd be thrilled. What other word could he have used instead of thrilled?
[13:32]I've been waiting. Have we ever met anywhere? No. That would be unlikely. I look familiar, though, right? Yeah. You can't quite place it? No, I can't. Yeah, I think I know. You do? You all, everybody. You all, everybody. You never heard of Drive Shaft? The band? Yeah, the band. You were in Drive Shaft? I am in Drive Shaft. I play bass. Serious? Yeah. Charlie. Track three, you know? I do backing vocals. My friend Beth would freak. She loves you guys! Give me Beth's number, I'll call her. I'd love to. Does she live nearby? You ever heard of Drive Shaft? You all, everybody. You all, every... body. We gotta keep moving. Scofield, Michael. 94941. Are you a religious man, Scofield? Never really thought about it. Good, 'cause the Ten Commandments don't mean a box of piss in here. We got two commandments and two only. The first commandment is you got nothing coming. What's the second commandment? See commandment number one. Gotcha. Are you talking out the side of your neck? Come again? I said, are you being a smartass? Just trying to fly low over the radar, boss. Do my time, and get out. There isn't any flying under my radar. Good to know.
