英文电影宝典——Bonnie and Clyde

"Pa" is an old-fashioned word for dad, and "kin" is an old word for any close relative that is related by blood. I made a deal and got you off with a couple years. "To get a person off" is to work out a deal where they are given less punishment than they could have gotten (in this case, years in prison). Clyde’s got a sense. Don’t you know that? A "sense" is an intuitive or internal feeling about a situation. He’s over there in the hardware store getting light bulbs for his daddy. A "hardware store" sells all types of tools to build houses and other buildings, such as hammers, screws, toilets, wood, etc… If that boy didn’t have his head strapped on, he’d lose it. If something is "strapped on," it is tied down with rope or something else so that it will not fall off. I got a flat tire; I ain’t got no spare. A "flat tire" is one in which the air has leaked out because there is a hole in it. A "spare tire" is an extra one, often kept in the trunk of a car.
