THE PROCESS

IN MY OWN WORDS
[1 . INTRO] Hey everybody. Good to see you

again. So, you know how sometimes you're out

having a coffee or something and you're on
your own and you're doing some reading or
catching up on stuff and everything is going
great, and then one little thing happens, like
you spill a little of your drink, and it leads to
another thing, like someone slips on it or
something, and before you know it, you're
getting kicked out of the restaurant or the bar
or wherever you are and everybody is
laughing at you or shaking their heads, saying
things like "What a jerk! Can you believe
that?!" and you can't show your face in that

computer by accident if you hit the wrong

sequence of keys or something. Does that
make sense to you? Ok, let's not translate it
just yet, let's first do a bunch more of these. ...
So, what't the next one? Ok, a tip. That's easy.
A tip is extra money that you give to a waiter
at a restaurant to reward them for good
service. You don't have to give tips, but it's
kind of a norm, especially in the U.S. where a
15% tip is expected after a meal. Got that? All
right, let's move on... ... so that's it.
Let's now take these phrases one at a time and
guess what the best translations are. Wipe
out? Zniit. V podstat ano. Mete pout pro
potaov data nebo teba ve sportu.
Samotn wipe je co? Utt, sprvn. Wipe off

Anyway, one time I was working on this essay

and I ha a really hard time with it and
couldn't finish it and I had to hand it in by the
next day. So I took my laptop to a coffee house
and I ordered a coffee and I started writing.
So I'm sitting there, trying to come up with
some good ideas and sipping my coffee when
suddenly I take a sip and feel something ...

... so let me recap: because of a stupid fly, my

laptop is now dead and I will have to have it
fixed. I will also get an F on my essay. And I
won't be able to go back to my favorite caf

... and we're almost done, there's just one last

bit: when's the next time that Mike will go get
a cup coffee at this place? (Not anytime soon,
is what I'm guessing.) What?! What was that?
Oh, I must have dreamed that. Anyway, right.
Not for a while. Why is that? (He's not
welcome.) That's right. So... where am I right
now? (We don't know.) That's right. Could I be
dead? (It's possible.) Yeah, but I'm not. What
if I met Mike again, though? What would he
do to me? (He kill you.) No. What WOULD he
do to me? (He would kill you.) Yes. Good.
