Saturday Night Live. Season 39: Episode 1: e-Meth
e-Meth
Meth Smoker #1 | Like a lot of people, I love to smoke. But my friends and family always make me go outside to do it. So that's why I now use... [ he holds up electronic pipe ] e-Meth. It's crystal meth, but it's electronic, so it produces vapor instead of smoke. And that means I can ride the ice pony... anywhere I want. [ he puffs and smiles ] |
| [ cut to Meth Smoker #2 ] | |
| Meth Smoker #2 | Smoke is a social thing for me. Without my meth pipe, I don't know WHAT to do with my hands! [ he twiddles his thumbs ] But now I do know what to do with them: I smoke METH! [ he lights up his pipe, puffs, and chokes ] It's good! |
| [ cut to Meth Smoker #3 ] | |
| Meth Smoker #3 | Thanks to e-Meth, now I don't even need to leave the bar to get the sweet shabbu shabbu. Mama can smoke that chunky white crunch anywhere! At the office... [ footage: at the office ] At the grocery store... [ footage: stumbling around the grocery store ] In a bathtub in the middle of the road... [ footage: bathtub in road ] Or facedown in a big ol' tire. [ footage: facedown in big tire ] |
| [ cut to Meth Smoker #2 ] | |
| Meth Smoker #2 | And it's healthier because it doesn't contain antifreeze. But... it still has that great meth taste. |
| [ cut to Meth Smoker #1 ] | |
| Meth Smoker #1 | e-Meth lets me get totally gakked up on woop chicken, without yellowing my teeth. [ he pulls out a tooth ] See? Perfectly white. [ he holds the tooth to his ear ] What? Hello? This is he. |
| [ cut to Meth Smoker #2 ] | |
| Meth Smoker #2 | Thanks to e-Meth, I can now even smoke inside my favorite restaurant! |
| Homeowner | Excuse me, Sir? You can't smoke meth in here. |
| Meth Smoker #2 | [ laughing ] It's okay -- It's electronic! |
| Homeowner | I don't care! You in my LIVING ROOM... and you NEKKID!! |
| [ the Homeowner chases the half-naked man around his living room ] | |

Выражения и идиомы из сериала Friends - Season 1
Season 1 Episode 4: The One with George Stephanopoulos
Ross Gets a Hockey Puck to the Face at an NHL Game.
- Finders, keepers, losers, weepers.
Дословный смысл: Нашедший оставляет себе, потерявший плачет.
Русские аналоги: 1) Что с возу упало, то пропало. 2) Нашёл - береги, потерял - молчи.
- I'm rubber, you're glue.
Дословный перевод: "Я - резина, а ты - клей".
Дословный смысл: "Кто обзывается, тот сам так называется".
В полной версии детской дразнилки:

Всё, что ты говоришь, отскакивает от меня и прилипает к тебе.
Chandler Is Desperate and Needy
- Now I'm needy and snubbed.
/naʊ aɪm ˈnidi ənd snʌbd/
Фраза "Now I'm needy and snubbed" переводится на русский язык как "Теперь я жалкий и отвергнутый" или, более литературно, "И вот теперь я всеми забыт и нуждаюсь в заботе".
Слово needy означает острую потребность в во внимании и поддержке, а snubbed указывает на демонстративное игнорирование или отказ.
