Puhelu jatkuu...

...väsyneessä hengessä puoli seitsemältä aamulta tai puoli yksitoista illalla - miten sen haluaakin nähdä:

- Huh, I've got some new expressions.

- You have?

- Yeah!

- But that's great then. Would you like to share any of those with me?

- Well, I don't have them here. They are in my notebook and I don't remember them.

- Just pick it up then, we can memorize them now.

- Okay, wait a second... [kolinaa] Here we are like... like... like for example... huh... "vettää pulttit"?

- Good, just be more precise with your doubled consonants, "vetää pultit".

- Vetää pultit.

- Yep, although I might say also, "ottaa pulttia"

- Umm, let me write it down. [hiljaisuus]

- Also, there're other "ottaa" expressions like "ottaa kantaa" and... "ottaa poskeen".

- Okay, wait a second I'll write them down.

- How nice! [Imitoi Boratia.]

* * * * *

- How's your class otherwise?

- You know we have a new girl, she goes to [arvostetun ja konservatiivisen yliopiston nimi].

- Yeah?

- Yeah, she writes everything down on those little cards you know. We all laugh at her. Well, it's not that kind of class at all I mean...

- Probably she really wants to learn the language?

- Yeah, but she's so young, and I mean so uptight.

- [hmmm, saattaisi silti tehdä ihan hyvää sullekin...] You should hit together with her like, "Oh, should we trade some cards?" [nauraa]

- Oh yeah... [laughs]

- [Ei tainnut osua. Täytynee yrittää palata aiheeseen myöhemmin]
