Night Talking
Song Words:
…You’re standing there like such a sweet man,
on the corner holding your girlfriend’s hand.
I bob and weave if I can, but you’re standing there off in lala land.
Is it your problem or is it mine?
I would be cool if I just had time, but I’m…
Boss is calling and I’m late.
I’ll get fired without my severance pay.
Working at the bottom of the food chain.
Using my time but not my brain.
It was a long long tough tough weekend
Me and my buddies we went drinkin
Like alchohol I am stinking
If I’m late I’ll surely be sinking
Move! Get out of my way!
Tell me why you walk so slow. It’s not cool. Some people have places to go.

Anna: Bonjour. Sava?
John: What’s going on? You guys are late huh?
Anna: We’re late I’m sorry.
John: You know what time I got here?
Anna: I’m sorry John, we were 15 minutes late.
John: Oh it’s cool.
Anna: So what are you doing now?
John: A friend of mine asked me to take some video of my friends and stuff. So these are my friends.
Anna: Be careful you know. (the camera) It’s very fragile you know.
John: So you guys ready to party tonight?
Anna: This is JC and this is Anna and this is our friend. He is crazy John. We make a new name for him.
John: Oh it hurts. Oh, it’s so painful.
Anna: So today he didn’t come to work because I asked him to bring me to the dental center for cleaning.
John: I notice a lot of people are talking but Chris likes the camera on one place.
Anna: Now stop it now guys. Now it’s my turn.
Anna: It’s like this you know. I have a big body. You know my sister. She’s very… biggest boobs in the world. She’s very small like…
John: How old is she?
Anna: 32 years old. She’s my first sister, Emi.
John: Is she married?
Anna: Of course, she’s 32 already. She got married already. She got married two years ago. And the second sister… I have four sisters together. I’m number three. I’m the third daughter.
John: And the other sisters?
Anna: The other sisters, they got married also. Her name is Ani. The last one, the youngest sister, she just got married also, last year. All of them got married except me. I don’t know why.
John: You think the middle sister wants to have an affair?
Anna: No I don’t think so. She’s not going to cheat on her boyfriend. No affair, yes, I think so.
John: oh that’s boring.
Anna: Ok, next question.
John: Am I asking the questions or are you asking the questions?
Anna: no, you better ask me questions. Go ahead.
John: How old are you?
Anna: I’m 26 years old. I am a Scorpio. I was born November 3rd.
John: Yeah wow. You have a big bite yeah? Poison bite. You look like the Thai Angelina Jolie.
Anna: Of course I love her. You said Angelina Jolie. Me… I look like? What did you say again?
John: The Thai Angelina Jolie.
Anna: Me? No.
Anna: T his is my friend also. This is my close friend also. She has a boyfriend also. I met her boyfriend last month. He left to France.
John: Who’s more handsome? (her boyfriend or your boyfriend?)
Anna: Of course my boyfriend is the most handsome guy in the world. But you know… please listen to me, if you want to have a girlfriend. You should start from (being) friends, then step by step.
John: Really?
Anna: I told you the last time and you said, “No”. You don’t think like that, because most of your friend they don’t like you. They think of you like a friend (only).
John: OK. That makes a lot of sense.
Anna: Huh?
John: Actually I don’t understand. But, I’ll try to think about that. Now I have you on video, so I can watch and try to remember, and try to…
Speaking French… I have no idea…
