听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》Kid Gloves - 5

Topanga.
Yes, Stuart.
You're beautiful.
That's very sweet, Stuart. My superficial side thanks you.

What is Minkus doing?
I don't know, but he's doing it better than us.

Hey, what's with the necklace?

Oh, my dad gave it to me. It's one of those really important father-son gifts that you don't understand what it is.

Been there. My dad once gave me a gold-plated tire pressure gage¹ he won at the company bowling² tournament. Try getting excited over that. What would happen when I pull this? Now, I know.

Have you taken leave of your senses? You can endanger the safety of yourself and others. No touching³ the equipment until the dive master gets here.
Yeah, who is this dive master anyway?
I don't care who it is, as along as it gets us out of school, under water and away from Feeny.

Good afternoon, fellow divers⁴!

Ahhhhh~

Yes, Mr. Matthews, Mr. Hunter. I'm a certified⁵ dive master and have been for years.

Ok, I'm thinking of upholstery club.

Now, the first rule of diving is never dive alone. Therefore, I would like each of you to select a partner to be your diving buddy⁶.

Buddy? Buddy. Buddy? Ok.

Oh, how cute! It's a little mermaid⁷ and an awkward nerd.

And one of our first drills will be buddy breathing where you share your regulator and breathe through the same mouth piece.

Hu, bbbbbbbb~

Did you brush your teeth this morning?

I am not sure. What day is it?
