the worm. Right?! Truman's destruction of two classic English expressions: "The early bird catches the worm"means a person who wakes up early and has lots of energy will be successful. "A rollingstone gathers no moss" means, hmm, I'm not sure what it means, but it sure is famous! Perhaps that a person who continually travels will never have a place to call home. "Moss" is green algae that grows on rocks in the ocean. I guess were being spontaneous. A wonderful word! If you do something "spontaneously," you do it without planning ahead, but just as soon as the idea comes to you. What about Atlantic City? A city in New Jersey that is famous for casino gambling. I'm going to throw up The phrasal verb for vomit. Unpleasant, but common. Beautifully synchronized, don't you agree? If something is "synchronized," it is planned to function well together, at the same time. I don't know what got into me! The thing to say if you do something really stupid and you want to apologize (or at least pretend like you're apologizing) Truman, that's our turnoff. The exit from a freeway onto city streets. New Orleans, Mardi Gras, woooo! New Orleans is a wonderful American City in the state of Louisiana which is famous for the "Mardi Gras," an annual festival where people sing, dance and eat lots of sausages. We made it, Truman! We're over the bridge! A fascinating example of the complexity of prepositions! One might think "over" means "on," yet as used by Meryl in this dramatic scene, it means "no longer on." Is language amazing, or what?! I'm sure they're exaggerating. "To exaggerate" is a great verb meaning to describe something in a way that is much greater than it really is. I have my Seahaven Bank Card. The bank card with which Truman can get money from ATMs (Automated telling machines). Truman, looks like a leak at the plant. A "leak" refers to the escape of a gas or liquid from a pipe or other container. A "plant" can refer to many types of places, including, as here, a nuclear power plant. We had to shut her down. "To shut something down" is to close it. Note that factories or other work places may be affectionately referred to as "her." The whole area has been evacuated. "To evacuate" an area is to force the people in it to leave because of a dangerous situation, such as a chemical leak. Unable to leave the island, Truman realizes that even Meryl is part of his problem. Next time were going to have to file charges. The official act of accusing someone of committing a crime. Why do you want to have a baby with me? You can't stand me. If you "can't stand someone," you hate or strongly dislike them. All natural cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Nicaragua! The "slope" is the side of a mountain
