  9. I'm a huge movie buff.0:09

  1. In fact, I just went to Top Gun at the theater last night.0:18
  2. Oh, you saw Top Gun?0:21
  3. Oh, my gosh.0:22
  4. I've heard it's getting really good reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.0:22
  5. Really did a good job, especially if you've seen the first Top Gun movie.0:26
  6. This was so nostalgic where there are a lot of throwbacks, a lot of really fun stuff.0:30
  7. It had all the feels, great action.0:34
  8. I highly recommend it.0:36
  9. That's classic because that kind of setup where you're taking an actor who was huge in that movie 30 years ago, it could be a disaster and it could be0:38
  10. great, depending on how you do it.0:46
  11. And it sounds like they really did it well.0:47
  12. I want to go this weekend and see that movie.0:49
  13. They did it well.0:50
  14. Tom Cruise is an excellent actor.0:51
  15. And it was a really fun movie because there are so many quotes from that movie that you don't realize people say all the time.0:53
  16. Sometimes we say these movie quotes and we don't think about the movie it's from.1:00
  17. It just becomes part of the culture.1:04
  18. Like in Top Gun, when they say, I feel the need, the need for speed.1:06
  19. You say that all the time just to be funny.1:10
  20. Like when we're about to zoom in the Tesla, we'll say that.1:13
  21. And you don't think about it.1:16
  22. And then you watch an old movie and you're like, that's where that quote comes from.1:18
  23. It's so true.1:21
  24. And I'm sure for you guys, for our listeners, you have your own movies where you probably take the quotes and put them into your native language and everyone knows1:22
  25. what you're talking about.1:30
  26. So now your next step here with us is to get to the point where you can do that in English.1:31
  27. Hear them, listen for them and also use them.1:36
  28. Right, Aubrey?1:38
  29. Totally.1:39
  30. It's such a good skill because when you quote a movie, you have like an inside, not an inside joke, but this inside connection with people where you're gonna make1:39
  31. it like, oh, we both have seen that movie.1:48
  32. We both have heard this line.1:50
  33. You're sharing culture together and it's such a good way to bond and build connections.1:52
  34. It really does build connection.1:58
  35. And I've been thinking about why that is.1:59
  36. It's because you both understand kind of the narrative in that movie and what was going on, right?2:01
  37. Exactly, right?2:07
  38. And just even whenever you find that you both enjoy a certain movie or a certain genre, you have one more thing in common, one more thing to chat about.2:08
  39. So that's always great.2:16
  40. And we wanna talk about this today.2:18
  41. It came up recently in an episode number 1789 where we were talking about dealing with nerves during presentations.2:19
  42. If you missed it, definitely go check that one out.2:27
  43. But this came up, this mantra that was said in the help that people repeat a lot.2:29
  44. And we said, we need to do a follow -up episode about some of the movie quotes that come up in conversation a lot.2:35
  45. Yeah, and the help does have a famous quote which we mentioned in the last episodes.2:41
  46. We won't go into that one too much, but we're gonna go into some other ones today, right, Aubrey?2:45
  47. Yes, exactly.2:50
  48. This came up also, because this comes up all the time, you guys.2:52
  49. It came up in episode 1790 when Michelle was talking about this movie, Ferris Bueller.2:55
  50. And she says, Bueller, Bueller, to talk about a monotone.3:00
  51. So we're using this kind of famous movie quote to talk about monotone.3:03
  52. But we say that all the time too, if someone's not paying attention, I'll be like, Bueller, Bueller, to get them to pay attention.3:08
  53. This comes up all the time in American culture.3:15
  54. Yeah, and I think the other reason this leads to connection is it's kind of generational, right?3:18
  55. I think our generation just knows Ferris Bueller's day off, right?3:24
  56. Whereas I think before, you know, the quote, hello McFly, which we've shared on another episode, maybe that's kind of an earlier generation a little bit.3:29
  57. What do you think about that?3:37
  58. It's true, yeah, right?3:38
  59. My kids wouldn't understand a lot of the movies that I quote to people my age.3:39
  60. So this is definitely, you know, you kind of have to keep in mind who will have seen that movie.3:45
  61. But a lot of these quotes just become part of the culture.3:50
  62. And my kids might even quote it without realizing what movie it's from.3:53
  63. Yeah, and I mean, you guys can use these at work too, right?3:57
  64. This is not just limited to a party or your social life.4:00
  65. This is fine if you're on a good level of rapport with your colleagues, you can throw it in here.4:03
  66. Obviously not like in a presentation, but you know, when you're chatting and you're having fun, you're going back and forth.4:08
  67. Aubrey, before we go deeper into the episode, I want to make sure I mention our listeners who reviewed the podcast.4:14
  68. Oh, yes, for sure.4:20
  69. Yeah, so I want to say thank you to Mohamed Panahi, Merriam, Wang, AE, Silk Road, 1123, and Fatem Fatemeh Aramash.4:22
  70. Thank you so much, guys, for reviewing our show.4:32
  71. If you haven't reviewed it yet, guys, go over and leave a review for All Airs English and you might hear your name on the show, right, Aubrey?4:35
  72. Yes, awesome.4:42
  73. Thanks for the reviews, guys, and the ratings.4:43
  74. Yes, it really gives us all the good feels.4:46
  75. Yeah, it's so cool.4:48
  76. It's so cool to see that you guys are loving this show and that you're sharing it with your friends.4:49
  77. Definitely.4:54
  78. All right, let's dive into some of these.4:54
  79. Some you might be familiar with.4:56
  80. You guys watch TV, you watch movies, and you may have just heard people quote these and either known where the movie was from or not, but now you're going4:58
  81. to start recognizing them when you're out and about, when you're having English conversations even more because they come up really often.5:07
  82. Yeah, that's true.5:14
  83. So the first one, Aubrey goes way back to the Wizard of Oz, so famous.5:15
  84. Yes, right?5:21
  85. Do you like that movie, The Wizard of Oz?5:22
  86. I love it.5:24
  87. Yeah, I mean, it's a classic, right?5:25
  88. I wouldn't say I don't like it.5:27
  89. I have nothing against it.5:28
  90. And is it Judy Garland who was in it?5:30
  91. Right.5:32
  92. So there was a famous documentary that came out about her.5:33
  93. So interesting life, challenges.5:35
  94. So there's a lot to talk about there for sure.5:38
  95. But you guys have probably heard this quote where Dorothy, the main character says, there's no place like home to get back home.5:42
  96. And we say this all the time, word for word, just like this.5:49
  97. When we come back home after a trip, maybe, and you've been staying in hotels or you've been camping, you might just get home and say, oh, there's no place5:53
  98. like home.6:01
  99. But do you know what's interesting about this one is it's almost literally become more of an idiom that's embedded fully in the language.6:02
  100. And I forgot that it was actually from the Wizard of Oz.6:10
  101. Exactly, right?6:13
  102. Yeah.6:14
  103. That's what I was saying.6:14
  104. They just become part of the culture.6:15
  105. My kids might say this, even if they've never seen the Wizard of Oz, because it's just become part of, like you said, an idiom and expression that we say6:17
  106. all the time.6:26
  107. And not all of them are to that level yet, right?6:26
  108. I mean, the Bueller Bueller one is not, obviously.6:29
  109. And there's another one from the Wizard of Oz, it's the, or not in Kansas anymore, Toto, right?6:31
  110. Totally, yes, right?6:37
  111. She says this when they get to Oz and everything is so different and strange.6:38
  112. So if something's happening that's really out of the usual, abnormal, or you're in a country, something so different, then we would say that, oh, we're not in Kansas anymore.6:43
  113. Right, like when you're feeling so disoriented, you have nothing to rely on that you're familiar with.6:53
  114. We're not in Kansas anymore, right?7:00
  115. Or add the Toto part, which was her dog, right, her little dog that followed her around.7:01
  116. That's right, I forgot she says it to the dog, but yeah, you can add that to, oh, not in Kansas anymore, Toto.7:06
  117. Yeah, I love it.7:12
  118. All right, what else?7:13
  119. This is so fun.7:14
  120. What do we have next?7:15
  121. Okay, so the next one is from the movie Apollo 13, which came out in the mid -90s, and it's Houston, we have a problem.7:16
  122. I say this all the time, if there's just something, there's a problem, can't figure something out, something's going wrong.7:24
  123. Yeah, what would just say, oh, there's a problem.7:29
  124. You say Houston, we have a problem.7:32
  125. And of course, I mean, Houston, Texas, which I guess is where the control center was.7:34
  126. Exactly for NASA.7:39
  127. So they like are talking to all of the engineers at NASA to let them know there's a problem.7:40
  128. So yeah, that's really a fun thing to say if something's going a little bit wrong.7:45
  129. Yeah, what would be an example recently that if you could think of something, Aubrey, where you used that and there was some kind of problem?7:50
  130. So my daughter, this happens a lot with my kids, right?7:58
  131. My daughter had left her phone at home and we didn't know where she was.8:04
  132. She hasn't let us know where she's going.8:08
  133. Surely she just left with friends, she's 15 years old, 16.8:10
  134. She has some independence, you know?8:13
  135. But when I found her phone on the desk, I was trying to text her and I heard it buzz on my desk.8:15
  136. I picked it up and was like, Houston, we have a problem.8:20
  137. I love that, that's a good example.8:22
  138. Or if your kids are really young and they accidentally put dish soap in the dishwasher and you come home and the typical problem, right?8:24
  139. The kitchen is what it is.8:32
  140. Houston, we have a problem.8:33
  141. So those are just some household examples, guys, but great one, not quite to the level of literally just a phrase we say without connection to the movie, but a8:35
  142. very common one, right, Aubrey?8:43
  143. Totally, exactly.8:45
  144. We're all thinking of that Apollo 13 movie when we say it.8:46
  145. But we say it for any problem.8:49
  146. Definitely doesn't have to have anything to do with NASA.8:51
  147. We just say it for anything going wrong.8:54
  148. Isn't it interesting how certain phrase, I mean, Apollo 13, it was a great movie, but it wasn't like Titanic that had record breaking, movie sales as far as I8:56
  149. know.9:05
  150. So it's interesting that that quote just was grabbed and translated into the culture.9:05
  151. Totally, it's fascinating.9:11
  152. I would bet the average person on the street hasn't actually seen that movie, especially anyone younger than us a little bit, but they still will not be surprised to9:12
  153. hear that phrase.9:21
  154. That is weird.9:22
  155. I love that.9:23
  156. Interesting.9:23
  157. That's everyone, every producer's dream, right?9:24
  158. Movie producer's dream.9:26
  159. Exactly, right.9:28
  160. To have your film live in history, become a part of the culture.9:29
  161. For sure.9:33
  162. For sure.9:33
  163. So then we have another one, which is what, Aubrey?9:34
  164. Yes.9:37
  165. So this comes from the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, where Sherlock Holmes says to his partner Watson, elementary, my dear Watson.9:38
  166. And this is an old movie too, right?9:47
  167. This came out the same year as The Wizard of Oz, 1939.9:49
  168. And we see it when you figure out a problem or someone asks you a question and you know the answer, you might say elementary, my dear Watson, meaning, oh,9:52
  169. I know the answer to that.10:00
  170. Right.10:01
  171. And elementary means basically basic, right?10:02
  172. It's basic, my dear Watson, right?10:05
  173. And we have the word elementary for elementary school for kids, right?10:07
  174. Between what ages, Aubrey?10:11
  175. Yeah, from about age five to 12 is elementary school.10:13
  176. Yes.10:20
  177. So we're thinking any of the subjects, they would cover the easier math.10:21
  178. All of that would be elementary education.10:24
  179. Right.10:27
  180. We would be able to solve those math problems maybe.10:27
  181. So yeah, he's saying this is a very elementary question.10:30
  182. It's a good adjective to describe something as simple or easy.10:32
  183. I kind of feel like this can only be said with a British accent.10:36
  184. What?10:39
  185. I don't know.10:40
  186. Or those of us who are trying and butchering the British accent.10:41
  187. Right, right, right.10:45
  188. I don't personally use this, but I want you guys to, you know, you can use it or you can just recognize it, right?10:46
  189. If someone says you want to hear what they're saying, right?10:51
  190. Mm -hmm.10:54
  191. Yes, exactly.10:54
  192. OK, this next one I don't I don't really know actually.10:55
  193. Really?10:58
  194. OK, so this the film is on the waterfront, which a lot of people haven't seen.10:59
  195. It's from 1954.11:03
  196. But I say this a lot.11:04
  197. I hear this a lot, especially when you're playing sports.11:06
  198. Something goes wrong and you like lose.11:09
  199. You're not going to win.11:12
  200. You'll say, I could have been a contender, meaning like I had a chance at one point.11:13
  201. I mean, I could have won, but then I did something wrong.11:17
  202. I made a mistake.11:19
  203. Interesting.11:20
  204. You know, a longer phrase that's pretty famous, right?11:21
  205. Where he's saying, you know, you don't understand.11:25
  206. I could have had class.11:27
  207. I could have been someone.11:28
  208. I could have been a contender.11:29
  209. Usually when we quote it or you will hear it quoted, you'll just say I could have been a contender.11:31
  210. That's interesting.11:36
  211. I love this.11:37
  212. Yeah.11:38
  213. And I like that on this episode, Aubrey, we have quotes from all throughout the 1900s.11:38
  214. We're not just talking about quotes from the 90s, the 2000s.11:43
  215. We're going way back in history because these quotes have been embedded in the language.11:46
  216. So good.11:51
  217. Exactly.11:52
  218. Yeah.11:52
  219. Like the older the film, the more it's multi -generational.11:52
  220. More people are aware of it.11:56
  221. We've heard it for years and years and years, so it becomes embedded in the culture.11:57
  222. Newer movies, there's definitely quotes that come from newer movies that you've heard, you know, maybe from Forrest Gump.12:01
  223. Life is like a box of chocolates or something like that.12:07
  224. But it'll take a few years for those to really get embedded in the culture so much.12:10
  225. Or not.12:13
  226. I mean, some of them might go away.12:13
  227. I don't know about the box of chocolates.12:15
  228. Maybe it'll last.12:16
  229. Maybe not.12:18
  230. We don't know.12:18
  231. But these ones are here forever because they've lasted more than 50 years.12:18
  232. So good.12:22
  233. Right.12:23
  234. We still hear them.12:23
  235. OK, the next one's really fun.12:24
  236. It's from a movie called Midnight Cowboy from 1969.12:25
  237. I say this all the time.12:29
  238. I hear this all the time.12:30
  239. If you are walking and someone cuts you off or maybe nearly hits you or isn't paying attention to you, you can say, I'm walking here.12:32
  240. And often they'll say it twice because in the movie it's twice.12:39
  241. I'm walking here.12:41
  242. I'm walking here.12:42
  243. OK.12:43
  244. All I can think about is our listeners know you lived in New York for a while.12:43
  245. So all I can think about is you in like the East Village and everyone's bumping you and you're like, I'm walking here.12:47
  246. I'm walking here.12:52
  247. Yes, right.12:54
  248. And you see it.12:55
  249. It's been in newer movies, too.12:55
  250. You'll see them quote that movie in another movie.12:58
  251. They're crossing a road and a car like almost hits them and they'll hit this, you know, the hood and say, I'm walking here.13:00
  252. So this it's embedded in culture.13:07
  253. And one of those quotes that you hear in other movies.13:09
  254. Oh, I feel like I always learn so much on these episodes with you, Aubrey.13:12
  255. This is what I call a movie buff.13:15
  256. This is great.13:18
  257. This is great.13:19
  258. So good.13:20
  259. OK, Aubrey, so should we show our listeners how it's done in a role play?13:21
  260. What do you think?13:25
  261. Yes, definitely.13:26
  262. Right.13:27
  263. You want to sneak these into conversations.13:27
  264. You're going to hear other people use them.13:30
  265. So we're going to give you a little role play about how you can do that very easily and naturally.13:32
  266. Yeah.13:36
  267. And here in this role play, we are returning home after a short vacation.13:37
  268. Such a good feeling to come back home after a vacation.13:40
  269. Yeah.13:43
  270. All right.13:44
  271. Here we go.13:44
  272. OK, I'll start us off.13:44
  273. OK.13:45
  274. There's no place like home.13:45
  275. Seriously, I can't wait to sleep in my own bed.13:47
  276. Uh oh, Houston, we have a problem.13:51
  277. What is it?13:53
  278. Look, everything in the freezer has melted.13:55
  279. It must have lost power while we were gone.13:57
  280. Oh, look, the breaker was tripped.13:59
  281. At least we know what the problem was.14:01
  282. Elementary, my dear Watson.14:03
  283. I did not imagine saying that about a home improvement project.14:05
  284. Oh, that's funny.14:09
  285. It's just the breaker, right?14:10
  286. Just turn the breaker back on.14:11
  287. No, no, no, no, no.14:13
  288. No matter what you're calling an electrician.14:14
  289. Yeah.14:16
  290. Oh, for sure.14:16
  291. No question.14:17
  292. I do not do any kind of fixing around the house.14:18
  293. I don't either.14:21
  294. I'm not going to lie.14:23
  295. I wouldn't be the one figuring out that it was the breaker.14:23
  296. No, no way.14:27
  297. All right.14:28
  298. So what did we use here?14:28
  299. We use some of these ones here.14:29
  300. Yes, I started very first with the one from Wizard of Oz.14:31
  301. We walk in the door and I just say, oh, there's no place like home.14:34
  302. Yes.14:37
  303. And then you said, oh, Houston, we have a problem.14:38
  304. Oh, I've come in.14:42
  305. I've noticed something's wrong.14:43
  306. Maybe I can smell the stuff in the freezer or there's stuff leaking out of the freezer.14:44
  307. I see there's a problem and I would I would say this right away.14:49
  308. Like, oh, Houston, we have a problem.14:52
  309. Interesting.14:54
  310. I love it.14:55
  311. And it's fun to say it's fun.14:55
  312. Like you are kind of you're playing around.14:57
  313. You're being playful when you're doing this, right?14:59
  314. And I don't think if it was something really, really dangerous an emergency, you wouldn't use it, right?15:00
  315. I'll break.15:05
  316. No, that's a good point.15:05
  317. Right.15:06
  318. If you just saw someone get hit by a car or something much more serious, you're not going to say this.15:07
  319. It's a little playful of like, oh, shoot, something's gone wrong.15:11
  320. But it's clearly not that serious.15:15
  321. Yeah.15:17
  322. So that's important to remember, because I think if it were an emergency, you wouldn't have time to think about that quote, right?15:17
  323. You wouldn't really.15:22
  324. Yeah.15:23
  325. And then at the end, I said, oh, look, the breaker was tripped.15:23
  326. At least we know what the problem was elementary, my dear Watson.15:27
  327. So I'm saying that's easy.15:30
  328. I can fix that.15:31
  329. No problem.15:32
  330. Right.15:33
  331. That's funny how immediately you're like, oh, I wouldn't say that because it's true.15:33
  332. This is only applicable if it's a very simple fix, something that's very easy.15:37
  333. You understand what it is.15:42
  334. Yeah.15:44
  335. If this is something difficult or challenging for you, you wouldn't say it.15:45
  336. But if it were, you'd be like elementary, my dear Watson.15:48
  337. For sure.15:51
  338. I love it.15:52
  339. So what's the takeaway for our listeners today?15:52
  340. This has been a really fun episode.15:54
  341. Yes.15:56
  342. So fun natives throw famous movie quotes into conversations all the time.15:56
  343. You guys are going to start hearing these that we shared today in movies, in conversations with coworkers and friends.16:00
  344. And it's a really fun way to build connection through this shared cultural experience.16:07
  345. Yeah, guys, so good.16:11
  346. Remember here, we are all about connection, right?16:13
  347. How can we connect?16:15
  348. And this is one of the ways to do it.16:17
  349. You can choose a few of them, try them out.16:19
  350. But most importantly, expect to hear them so that you can respond the right way to really connect.16:21
  351. I love it.16:27
  352. So good.16:27
  353. For sure.16:28
  354. Go see these films if you haven't listened for the line and then listen for them elsewhere, right?16:28
  355. Practice using a couple so that, like you said, you can use them when chatting with a friend or a co -worker.16:33
  356. I love it.16:39
  357. So good.16:39
  358. Well, Aubrey, thanks for bringing these on the show.16:40
  359. Thanks for bringing us back into the 1900s, too.16:41
  360. How cool to have that historical angle on English.16:45
  361. I love it.16:48
  362. All right.16:49
  363. Well, you have a good day.16:50
  364. I'll talk to you in the next one.16:50
  365. You too.16:52
  366. See you later, Lindsay.16:52
  367. Bye.16:53
  368. Bye.16:54
