The End
2
I wonder how that young girl is from last night.
3
Terrible business.
4
Can't there be more than 15, 16?
5
I mean, I've collapsed doing karaoke as well, but that was while singing the last note of Thunderball, not because I was pregnant.
6
Now, seven down, cross-dressing comedian, first word begins E.D.
7
Eddie Large.
8
I'm going to have a bridge.
9
When is Tell going to have a baby, Dad?
10
I don't know, son.
11
Why didn't she tell her she was going to have a baby?
12
I don't know.
13
Will the baby be black or white?
14
I don't know, son.
15
Are you only black if your dad was black?
16
Not necessarily.
17
Look at your nana.
18
Hey!
19
Hey!
20
Come over there, boy!
21
What's that, Baj?
22
What's that?
23
Open the door.
24
I can't hear you!
25
You want some...
26
Oh, come on.
27
Oh, I'm sorry, Mrs. Baron, but I have to inform you...
28
Ooh!
29
You've failed your driving test.
30
I don't know what you're cracking jokes for, your 16-year-old daughter lying pregnant in the next room.
31
It's still going to have a baby while we're here in Spain, Dad.
32
I wouldn't put it faster.
33
Anything to ruin my holiday.
34
Oh, yeah.
35
Quite an elaborate ploy to ruin your holiday, Matt.
36
Sure, getting pregnant.
37
Fair amount of planning involved.
38
She'll be crippled if it's a girl.
39
Always big in our family, the girls.
40
Twelve pound exactly, my Janice was.
41
Olga, the year before, we're ten pound eight.
42
Oh, she'll never cope with that lass her age.
43
No, she'll never walk again if it's a girl.
44
Oh well, as long as we're not overreacting.
45
He has a large variety of pescados for...
46
First available flight home.
47
Yeah!
48
Oh!
49
Breakfast finishes in ten minutes.
50
One unnecessary move and I'll project our bombers in such a way to make Linda Blair look like an amateur.
51
I never saw that and give us a clue.
52
Linda Blair, not Lionel Blair.
53
Er, you can put that out.
54
You what?
55
Not even my unborn grandchild breathing that in.
56
Oh, don't talk rubbish.
57
I've smoked 40 a day since 1953 and given birth to seven healthy daughters.
58
Yeah, six of which wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire.
59
By Christ, McDavy, you know how to twist the knife on a mother's back.
60
Mother?
61
What kind of mother have you been?
62
Is that it, Janice?
63
Still talks to you.
64
I brought my kids up the best way I could.
65
It's up to them if they don't want to speak to me.
66
They don't want to speak to you because you're an evil cow.
67
I'm their mother.
68
I carried every one of them for nine months.
69
And mother deserves respect for that at least.
70
You all right, Tell?
71
What's the smell in here?
72
She's still not at a wash.
73
She reeks.
74
Tell, go on and sit down.
75
I'll get you a drink.
76
You can pack that in, Mother.
77
How you feeling?
78
I'm all right.
79
Why didn't you tell us, love?
80
Why didn't you tell us?
81
I wanted to.
82
Why do you think?
83
16 years of age.
84
It's disgusting.
85
I've never heard anything like it.
86
It's that black light from the flats, isn't it?
87
Right, that's enough.
88
Out.
89
You what?
90
What you doing?
91
Come on, outside.
92
You've not been in the sun for ten minutes.
93
You're starting to fade.
94
I'm not sitting out there on me own.
95
I don't know anybody.
96
Probably a good time for you to make some friends then.
97
I'm not talking to them two queer fellas.
98
You all right, love?
99
Yeah, Mum.
100
Right, do you want to go downstairs?
101
I'm looking aware.
102
Well?
103
What colour would you say that little old lady was?
104
Erm, on a Dulux colour chart, I think you'll find that's burnt sienna.
105
No, it's darker than that.
106
Burnt pensioner?
107
Yeah.
108
Michael!
109
Put that down!
110
I've told you I'm not paying for that!
111
I want a hot dog.
112
Did you get me a lull on her?
113
Come on, love.
114
Look a right dick in this.
115
I'm going back in.
116
You look fine, come on.
117
And don't be using that language while you're pregnant.
118
No!
119
That was a dog!
120
You took your time.
121
Well, here you are.
122
These nice lads said you can have theirs some best.
123
Are you sure?
124
Yeah, you're all right.
125
We're off out for the day.
126
Thought we might check out the beach.
127
There's a beach?
128
Dad, there's a beach!
129
Come and go to the beach!
130
All right.
131
Cheers, Mick.
132
Mum, come and go to the beach, please.
133
See you later, Mads.
134
Don't stay in the sun too long.
135
You didn't say there was a beach.
136
Mum, please come and go to the beach.
137
What the frig is she wearing?
138
She looks like that one from that pop group in the 60s.
139
What was her name?
140
That lass that died joking on a sandwich.
141
Right!
142
Come on.
143
Tell.
144
Come back.
145
Now look what you've done.
146
Oh, look, they're having a barbecue.
147
Mick.
148
Mick.
149
Mick.
150
What?
151
Mick, go and get us right back.
152
What are you doing?
153
I told you I'm not staying here today.
154
I know we can have one drink here then we can go and explore we could go to the beach
155
Right some bits What
156
God say some beds what are you doing?
157
Um, well, there aren't really any sunbeds.
158
Shall we go?
159
Oh.
160
We may as well stay here now for a bit.
161
It's too hot to walk anywhere.
162
Doing okay?
163
You can get a taxi outside.
164
I said I'm fine here.
165
There are two sunbeds over there.
166
Martin!
167
Katie!
168
Over here!
169
Oh, God.
170
Has sphincter got an X in it?
171
Hmm.
172
Now you're asking.
173
Martin?
174
Hmm?
175
Has sphincter got an X in it?
176
S-Sphincter?
177
Hmm.
178
Hmm.
179
Um, an ex.
180
Hmm.
181
Uh, I honestly...
182
I honestly don't know.
183
I've never been to London. Is it cold?
184
Yes?
185
Yes, fairly cold.
186
We don't see much of the sun in London.
187
Oh.
188
But if the passion of true love lies burning in your heart, you don't need the sun.
189
It's crawly actually, but we lived in London for a while,
190
but we moved for more space Ford shielding yes Just Is it hot enough fire
191
Lager please love when oh,
192
I won't kick that one out of benefit crawled in Not nice Possibly smoke?
193
No. It's people like that who end up hugging hospital beds for months on end, squandering valuable NHS resources.
194
You're right.
195
Look at the colour of her.
196
How can someone who chains smoke stay in the sand that long?
197
She's a human type of...
198
This is my mother.
199
Oh, I'm sorry.
200
No, you're all right, love.
201
She's only happy doing three things.
202
Irritating people smoking and getting a suntan.
203
Isn't she worried about the C word?
204
No, she's been called far worse than that.
205
No, it meant cancer.
206
Oh, you're kidding.
207
No, she'll outlive the lot of us.
208
No, you take my advice, love.
209
Never take your mother on holiday with you.
210
Well, my mother's got MS, so probably not.
211
Sometimes think I've got that.
212
You think you have MS?
213
Yeah, sometimes.
214
I read about it in a magazine in the magazine.
215
A lot of people think they've got it, don't they?
216
Do you mean an E?
217
Oh, I don't know.
218
Which is the one where you can't be asked to do out?
219
Which one did you say?
220
I think you mean an E.
221
An E, M-S.
222
It's all lazy buggers cracking on the summit wrong with them, isn't it?
223
I think I'm going to dry off.
224
Yeah.
225
Laters.
226
Yes.
227
It all depends on how you handle the experience.
228
I mean, fair play, it hurts the first time you do it, but after that, the body adapts, doesn't it, Jacqueline?
229
Oh, yes.
230
Oh, Katie, you're all wet.
231
We were just talking about yoga.
232
You were thinking about that at one point, weren't you?
233
Oh.
234
I think we will go for that walk.
235
If you come up to our room before dinner, we'll show you a few positions if you like.
236
No, thank you.
237
It's impressive stuff.
238
First time I saw Jacqueline's extended triangle, I was lost for words.
239
What is coast-coast made from?
240
Semolina.
241
Says here, Bob Dylan.
242
Oh, Paige.
243
When is dog going to have a baby?
244
I don't know some.
245
I know what happens when you have a baby.
246
Go on, then.
247
What happens?
248
Right.
249
When you have a baby, you have a baby, and the milk comes out your tits.
250
It does, doesn't it, Nana?
251
Yes, darling.
252
The way that girl eats, it'll probably be gravy that comes out.
253
Has somebody been up to see our Chantelle?
254
Oh, what's she mithering for?
255
How far gone did they say she was?
256
Six months.
257
See, my water's broke.
258
I was up a ladder doing me windows.
259
Nobody ran after you then.
260
Mrs Carr next door just thought I'd rung me chamois out and missed the bucket.
261
Oh, don't talk rubbish.
262
Right, I'll go and get her a burger.
263
Yeah.
264
It's right up there, I think.
265
Hang on, it's left.
266
Left.
267
How are you feeling?
268
I'm all right.
269
I bought you something to eat.
270
They're not that nice, but you can have as many as you like.
271
Want anything else?
272
Got a telly next door. Have they?
273
Yeah, I heard it on earlier.
274
Come we haven't got a telly.
275
If you want to tell him you dad will get you a telly
276
There you go why don't you come down when you're ready Yeah
277
I'll try boys Oh, no, I don't think so.
278
Change your mind, so you got free shots at Bruno's bar.
279
Or if you fancy it, I got Sticky Vicky on at Rock Shots.
280
Who's Sticky Vicky?
281
Magic actor.
282
You know how most magicians pull rabbits and what have you out of a top hat?
283
Yes.
284
Well, Sticky Vicky pulls it all out of her fanny.
285
Is that a joke?
286
No, see for yourselves.
287
Well, then.
288
These two tickets here will get you first drinks free.
289
If I were you, I'd have more than one drink before you see her.
290
She's got to be well into her sixties this year.
291
I'll take it.
292
That's got to be a joke.
293
I'll give you some.
294
It looks a lot closer on the map.
295
Not content with being frozen in ice and buried alive,
296
modern-day Houdini David Blaine Blaine recently tried to break the world record for holding his breath underwater.
297
Fancy.
298
Do you want another drink, son?
299
Read that last bit again.
300
Not content with being frozen in ice?
301
They've got sea lions that play musical instruments and an elephant can stand on its head. Do they have chairs?
302
Sorry?
303
Do they have chairs to sit on?
304
Sorry.
305
I should have taken a taxi.
306
Oh, well.
307
I bet the sun isn't shining like this at home.
308
Another day in paradise.
309
Hi.
310
How's your little girl? girl.
311
Hope you don't mind me asking.
312
No, no, she's all right, thanks.
313
She's just taking it easy.
314
Yes, yes, quite right.
315
Will you be down Neptune's later?
316
It'll be a good one.
317
It's Mal Jolson tonight.
318
Mal Jolson?
319
Tribute to the South.
320
Oh, yes, great act.
321
Personal friend of ours.
322
Known him for years.
323
He's very big on the Costas, Blanca, Rama.
324
Quite big in other places too, if you know what I'm saying.
325
He's a big lad, all right?
326
Big old boy he is.
327
Big, big lad.
328
That's bad.
329
Yep.
330
Big old penis.
331
Oh, yeah.
332
Wife can't get enough of him.
333
Do you mean you let him shag your wife?
334
Is that what you mean?
335
Well, when you've got prime steak indoors, why let your friends eat burgers out in the cold?
336
Hello.
337
Don't think my mates are that hungry.
338
Oh, my.
339
Oh, my.
340
Oh.
341
Erm...
342
How did I do?
343
One minute ten.
344
What was the record again?
345
Nine minutes.
346
Maybe you shouldn't have had that pizza.
347
Five hours.
348
Five hours lost in a Spanish animal park.
349
I'm sorry.
350
I had no idea the place was so big.
351
Come on, let's get a taxi back.
352
Oh, no, you don't.
353
I need at least one drink before I can face that place again.
354
Well, hang on.
355
Let's have a drink here.
356
This place looks all right.
357
At least away from that vile, disgusting place I know this holiday can't possibly get any worse.
358
Thank you.
359
You all right, darling?
360
Let me know if you want anything else.
361
You're eating for two now.
362
No change there.
363
You know what I like about you, Nana?
364
What?
365
Nothing. Where have you been?
366
Come on, you lot, get that down your necks, because after this we're all going back to the apartment.
367
I am not going back there yet.
368
Because we're going to have a nightie in front of.. the telly!
369
Have we got a telly?
370
Dad, have we got a telly?
371
We certainly have some, both.
372
Mum, have we got a telly?
373
No, it's not a joke.
374
We first heard about Sticky Vicky in the late 80s, but I don't think she was a young girl when we heard about her about her.
375
I'd have thought she'd retired by now.
376
She's well into her sixties, apparently.
377
Perfect age.
378
All this rubbish about a woman being at a sexual peak in her forties.
379
Try telling my Jacqueline that.
380
Mind you, pulling a bunch of flowers out of the old dead-end street twice a night must make her a wee bit baggy.
381
I don't think I'd be much used to her.
382
I'm sorry.
383
I was just as offended as you.
384
I didn't know where to look.
385
I'm so sorry.
386
I've been touching you.
387
Not only have you brought me on the most disgusting holiday from hell, I now, thanks to you, have to live with the indelible image of a 60-year-old woman
388
standing naked with one leg on a chair whilst pulling the flags of all nations out of her vagina.
389
How long was that?
390
That must have been longer.
391
You forgot to press start again, didn't you?
392
I'm sorry, son.
393
OK, you ready you lot, yeah?
394
You ready?
395
Here we go!
396
Right, OK.
397
Here we go.
398
Right for the snake.
399
Yeah.
400
You happy now?
401
Oh, man!
402
You're not broken!
403
Oh, come on!
404
Typical.
405
He's broken it already.
406
But don't think I'm gonna pay for that.
407
Hang on a minute.
408
What's this?
409
It's a meter.
410
They've got a bloody coin meter on it!
411
Kate, please, will you just talk to me?
412
What more can I say?
413
I said I'm sorry.
414
You're sorry.
415
You're sorry.
416
You're always sorry.
417
Katie, are you all right?
418
It's the television.
419
Do you fancy a game of rummy?
420
One euro, 30 minutes.
421
All inclusive.
422
The robbing Spanish bastards.
423
Mum, have you got any change?
424
You can break off.
425
I'm off back to watch Al Jolson.
426
I'm going to watch TV.
427
Thank you.
What You'll Practice in This English Lesson
This lesson uses a lively dialogue from a popular TV show to help you improve your conversational English, focusing on natural speech patterns, slang, and real-world interactions. You'll practice understanding fast-paced exchanges, regional accents, and emotional tone—key skills for fluency. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate learner, this video offers rich material for shadowing, a technique proven to boost pronunciation and listening comprehension.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases to Master
- "Elaborate ploy": A complex, often sneaky plan. Example: "Her getting pregnant was quite an elaborate ploy to ruin the holiday."
- "Projectile vomit": To vomit forcefully. Example: "One wrong move and I'll projectile vomit."
- "Twist the knife": To make a bad situation worse. Example: "You know how to twist the knife in a mother's back."

Shadowing Tips for This Video
Shadowing—repeating speech immediately after the speaker—is a powerful way to mimic rhythm and intonation. This video's dialogue is fast and emotional, so start slow: pause after each line, then repeat it, focusing on matching the speaker's tone (e.g., Madge's frustration, Mick's sarcasm). Use a shadowing app or shadowing site to record yourself and compare. For tricky phrases like "projectile vomit" or "twist the knife," break them into syllables: "pro-ject-ile" / "twist the knife." Practice daily for 10 minutes, and you'll notice your shadow speech becoming more natural. Remember, the goal is to sound like a native, not just repeat words. Use this video to learn English with videos that reflect real life—you'll be ready for casual conversations in no time!
¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
