to protect you. Come on, just take a little break. "Come on" is the most versatile phrasal verb in English. Here, it simply means please, or "I’m begging you." If a person takes "a break," they stop working for a short time in order to relax. After meeting Senator Palantine and seeing Iris for the first time, things go very badly with Betsy. 15,00 volunteers in New York alone is not bad, but Christ, the organizational problems. A common way of expressing frustration, anger or other emotion. Note this is widely used, and not just by religious people! I got to get organized. Little things, like my apartment, possessions. "Possessions" are the physical objects that a person owns, from books and records to cars and houses. He does have a few problems. :: I would say he’s got quite a few problems. Note that the addition of "quite" makes the statement much stronger (i.e....he has a lot of problems). His energy seems to be in the wrong places. This is Travis’ way of saying Tom is a strange person (Betsy may be thinking a classic phrase: "It takes one to know one"). I could just tell by the way you two were relating that there was no connection whatsoever. "To relate" to another person is to communicate with them, or try to understand them (People often have trouble relating). This is Travis’ way of saying that he thinks Betsy and Tom had a bad relationship and they just didn’t understand each other. I felt that when I walked in, there was something between us, there was an impulse we were both following. An "impulse" is a sudden burst of energy, in this case emotional energy. Here, Travis is trying to convince Betsy that they do have a connection. With him, I felt there was nothing and I could sense it. "To sense" something is to feel, detect or understand it.

A "prophet" is a great religious leader or a person who thinks they are connected to God. A "pusher" is a colloquial word for a person who sells illegal drugs, especially to young people. A "contradiction" is a statement or fact that appears to be logically impossible (Such as "he’s both talkative and shy"). These are words in a song that Betsy likes. That’s my day off. At first she hesitated. A worker’s "day off" is the day that that they don’t have to go to work. "To hesitate" doing something is to be reluctant to do it, or to wait or pause before agreeing to do it. This is making me nervous. I think we should have waited for the limo. Short for a "limousine," which is a very large car in which a professional driver takes people who sit in the back seats.
