Oh yeah, let's learn English with Breaking Bad.

Mr.

Mayhew, nice of you to come down.

Please.

Oh, look at you.

Should I call the FBI and tell him I found D.B.

Cooper?

Joking.

Come on.

Please.

Hello.

Saul Goodman.

Please sit.

So it's a shame that we have to meet under these circumstances.

So, Walter White's former student, Badger, or Brandon, has been arrested for selling crystal meth.

And Walt is afraid that Brandon will snitch.

So he goes to meet with his lawyer, Saul Goodman, to make sure that Brandon stays quiet.

By the way, if you snitch on someone, it means that you inform on others to the police or the authorities, especially in criminal context.

And we're going to learn more than 16 other advanced expressions in today's lesson.

You don't want to get into a conversation, have a chance to use one of these, and not remember it.

You want to be able to use every one of these confidently, just like a native, right?

The easiest way for you to do this is with the flashcards that we created for you on our app.

These use a scientific method called space repetition, which works like super glue to make new words stick in your head.

See for yourself.

And now, let's meet Saul Goodman.

Excuse me, the DEA?

Yeah, that's the Drug Enforcement Administration, the feds.

I hope that I'm not the breaker of bad news, but your nephew got mixed up with some pretty nasty customers.

I understand that, but what does that have to do with the DEA?

They're after some mystery man, some heavy hitter that goes by the name Heisenberg.

Look, look, what about reprisals?

I mean, if Badger, if Brandon informs on this Heisenberg, I mean, what if, God forbid, that they decide to take revenge?

What have you been telling him?

The kid keeps spouting off about, if I talk, they'll kill me, blah, blah, blah.

You know, right now, he's the only thing holding up this deal.

Good.

No, that's not good.

That's terrible.

Now, although Walt is pretending to be Brandon's uncle, he doesn't really care about helping Brandon to get out of prison.

Rather, he's afraid that Brandon is going to reveal that he is in fact Heisenberg.

By the way, did you catch Saul's opening joke?

Oh, look at you.

Should I call the FBI and tell him I found D.B.

Cooper?

Here's a fascinating piece of history.

D.B.

Cooper is one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in American history.

In 1971, a man using the name Dan Cooper, later misreported as D.B.

Cooper, hijacked a plane, demanded $200,000 in ransom, and then parachuted out of the aircraft with the money.

Despite a massive FBI investigation, he was never found.

So we can see why Walt's outfit is a bit surprising and Saul decides to poke fun at him.

Now let's dive into the expressions from that first clip.

Good things are happening.

Fact is, your nephew is going to get out in no time.

Here, Saul is basically telling Walt that Badger won't spend a lot of time in prison.

He'll be released soon.

You can use this in other contexts too.

For example, imagine you're stuck in traffic, but then it suddenly clears up.

You might say, we'll get there in no time.

Or if someone is worried about a minor surgery, a doctor might reassure them, don't worry, you'll be out of here in no time.

Next Saul said an expression that I personally use a lot.

There's still a few details to be ironed out, but now that the DEA is involved, I think looking at time served and probation.

This expression comes from ironing clothes.

Just like you iron out wrinkles and fabric, you iron out problems in a plan.

Like when you plan a trip, if you booked your flight and hotel already, then you just need to iron out the details like tours you'll do and restaurants you'll eat at.

We could even say that you're a good English speaker, but you need to iron out some mistakes.

Saul also used a legal term here.

There's still a few details to be ironed out, but now that the DEA is involved, I think he's looking at time served and probation.

These are two sentences a judge could give as a punishment for a crime.

Time served refers to time spent in prison.

And probation is a period after release from prison where you have to follow certain rules, like checking in with a probation officer, not leaving the state, or passing drug tests.

If you break these rules, you can be sent back to jail.

I think he's looking at time served than probation.

I bet you feel like Saul speaks fast and is difficult to understand.

However, this is more about his use of connected speech than the actual velocity of his speaking.

That's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words together in fluent speech.

Listen to what he said here again.

You might have noticed before that with words ending in ing, we often drop the g sound.

So here, instead of saying looking, he said looking, looking.

The t in at is a glottal t.

This means that it's cut off at the back of the throat.

Pay attention to the difference.

So instead of looking at, we hear looking at.

Later, we hear a similar example when Saul asks this question.

When we have pronouns like him, her, and them, we often cut the first consonant sound.

So this becomes telling him.

telling him.

Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice.

So listen to those two lines again and try to say them just like Saul did.

I think he's looking at time served.

What have you been telling him?

Next, we heard Saul use a creative variation of a common expression.

Usually, we say someone is the bearer of bad news.

That means the person who has to deliver information that the other person probably won't like.

Here's another example.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but your psychic friend's predictions about the drug case were wrong, which means all of her predictions are wrong.

100

So I'll probably confuse this with another expression, breaking news.

101

You might hear this on a news program when something has just happened and they interrupt the scheduled programming to report on it.

102

And Saul said Badger got mixed up with nasty customers.

103

When you get mixed up with someone, it means that you get involved with them, usually in a bad way.

104

You didn't plan to get into trouble, but you ended up connected to dangerous people.

105

Check out this example.

106

Can I ask you a question?

107

Okay.

108

How'd you get mixed up with a guy like Wes?

109

Now let's listen to some connected speech that Walt used here.

110

I understand that, but what does that have to do with the DEA?

111

Wow, that was fast.

112

But what does that have to do with the DEA?

113

When we have a T-D combination at the end of one word and start of the next, usually we just pronounce the second one.

114

So what does becomes one fluent sound like what is, what is.

115

To usually reduces to just ta.

116

Have to often just sounds like hafta, hafta.

117

So this full question is not what does that have to do with, but what does that have to do with?

118

What does that have to do with?

119

to Walt again and try to say it just like him.

120

A heavy hitter is someone who is powerful or influential in their field.

121

The term comes from baseball, where heavy hitters hit the ball really hard and score a lot of runs.

122

In In business or even crime, a heavy hitter is someone at the top of the organization.

123

Think about Apple or Microsoft.

124

Tim Cook and Satya Nadella are heavy hitters in the tech industry.

125

Now listen to this example.

126

The party was a complete home run.

127

All the fashion heavy hitters were there.

128

Look, look, what about reprisals?

129

What do you think reprisals are?

130

rewards for good behavior, acts of revenge, legal appeals.

131

Great, this word is formal and Walt may have chosen it because he's talking to a lawyer.

132

However, you'll probably more commonly just hear revenge.

133

But then we hear Saul use a couple of nice informal phrasal verbs.

134

First, to

135

spout off about something means to talk about it a lot, often in an annoying way.

136

Imagine you have a friend who just learned about cryptocurrency and won't stop talking about it.

137

You might ask them to stop spouting off about Bitcoin.

138

Next, when Saul says that Brandon is holding up the deal, he means Brandon's fear is an obstacle preventing the deal from moving forward.

139

In business, you might hear, we're ready to sign the contract, but there's one issue holding up the deal.

140

Or in real estate, the home inspection found some problems that are holding up the sale.

141

Now let's continue with the next part of the scene.

142

Trust me, sir, your nephew won't last in prison two weeks.

143

You let him take his chances on the outside.

144

Maybe I can work in some witness protection.

145

No, look, look.

146

These are vicious, desperate people.

147

I've been told that one of them killed another man by crushing his head with an ATM machine.

148

People love to take credit for the fun ones.

149

The guy who got his head smushed used to be a client of mine.

150

His wife killed him, all right?

151

It was open and shut.

152

Trust me, you folks have nothing to worry about, okay?

153

I'm going to set your nephew straight, yet I'm singing like a canary.

154

all's right with the world.

155

$10,000.

156

$10,000.

157

Cash.

158

To you.

159

I'm not saying to throw the case.

160

Just no talking to the DEA.

161

Are you saying what I think you're saying?

162

Yes.

163

What's it going to be?

164

Trust me, sir.

165

Your nephew won't last in prison two weeks.

166

You let him take his chances on the outside.

167

When you take your chances, you decide to face an uncertain situation and accept whatever happens.

168

Saul is saying Brandon should risk revenge outside of prison rather than face the guaranteed danger inside.

169

For example, when the weather looks uncertain, you might say, I don't know if it'll rain, but I'm going to take my chances and not bring an umbrella.

170

Here's another example.

171

I'm going to go to Moscow.

172

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

173

Hold on.

174

You can't just go to the Soviet Union, Hank.

175

You need a business visa, a full background check.

176

It takes months.

177

Well, get a tourist visa then.

178

So you lie.

179

But that's a felony.

180

They could throw you in jail.

181

I'll take my chances.

182

Next, let's take a moment to talk about grammar.

183

Maybe I can work in some witness protection.

184

No, look, look.

185

These are vicious, desperate people.

186

I've been told that one of them killed another man by crushing his head with an ATM machine.

187

Notice how Walt says, I've been told rather than someone told me.

188

Why did he use the present perfect here?

189

We use the present perfect when the exact time doesn't matter, but the information is still relevant now.

190

So although using the simple past would also be correct here, we'll probably use the present perfect to emphasize the importance of this information to the present moment.

191

You'll hear this a lot in news reporting.

192

We've been told that the president will make an announcement.

193

Or when planning where to have dinner, your friend might say, I've been told that this restaurant is excellent.

194

People love to take credit for the fun ones.

195

To take credit for something means to claim responsibility for it.

196

Usually we take credit for good things we've done.

197

Like if you have friends over to your house for dinner and they compliment the food, you might take credit for cooking.

198

However, Saul is joking darkly that criminals often brag about traumatic murders.

199

By the way, the opposite would be take the blame, accepting responsibility for something bad.

200

I've been told that one of them killed another man by crushing his head with an ATM machine.

201

People love to take credit for the fun ones.

202

The guy who got his head smushed used to be a client of mine.

203

His wife killed him.

204

All right, it was open and shut.

205

Now, what do you think smushed means?

206

Exploded?

207

Cut?

208

Crushed?

209

Right.

210

Smush is an informal, somewhat playful word meaning to crush something, like with this stress ball here.

211

It's interesting that Saul uses this almost cute-sounding word to describe something so violent.

212

It shows his dark sense of humor.

213

For example, kids love to smush Play-Doh.

214

Here's another example.

215

Norton's tree.

216

Yeah?

217

You mean the dead one I've been asking him to take down for three years before it finally blew over that tree?

218

It really got smushed.

219

You ain't kidding.

220

And Saul used an expression we can hear in many police and law TV series.

221

People love to take credit for the fun ones.

222

The guy who got his head smushed used to be a client of mine.

223

His wife killed him, all right?

224

It was open and shut.

225

When a case is open and shut, it's very clear with obvious evidence.

226

There's no doubt about what happened.

227

Think about someone who is caught stealing with the stolen goods in their bag.

228

That's open and shut.

229

You might use this outside of legal context too.

230

It's an open and shut decision.

231

We obviously need to hire her.

232

She's by far the best candidate.

233

Let's check out a final bit of connected speech Saul used here.

234

The guy who got his head smushed used to be a client of mine.

235

Used to be a client of mine.

236

First off, of often is reduced to just a schwa sound.

237

Uh, uh.

238

And when we have an N and T together, we usually drop the T sound, like in advantage, dentist, or internet.

239

So instead of a robotic client of mine, this becomes a fluent client of mine.

240

Client of mine.

241

Listen to Saul again and try to say that just like him.

242

The guy who got his head smushed used to be a client of mine.

243

Used to be a client of mine.

244

By the way, can I ask you a quick favor?

245

We depend on your feedback to make lessons you enjoy and that will help you to speak English confidently and fluently.

246

So take just a moment to pause the lesson and comment below one series, movie, or celebrity you would love for us to make a lesson with.

247

The RealLife team and I read every single comment.

248

Trust me, you folks have nothing to worry about, okay?

249

I'm going to set your nephew straight, yet I'm singing like a canary.

250

all's right with the world.

251

To set someone straight means to get someone to behave properly.

252

You might often hear that a parent set their child straight when they did something wrong.

253

I should have listened to her in high school instead of to those mean girls.

254

You know if I was in high school with you?

255

I would have set them straight.

256

And I love this other colorful idiom that Saul used.

257

I'm gonna set your nephew straight, yet I'm singing like a canary, all's right with the world.

258

What do you think singing like a canary means?

259

Singing beautifully, being very happy, revealing secret information.

260

Exactly.

261

When someone sings like a canary, they're telling everything they know to the authorities, usually to get a better deal for themselves.

262

Canaries are songbirds known for their singing, so the image is of someone who can't stop talking and revealing information.

263

Finally, we have throw a case, which in legal terms means to deliberately lose a case, usually because you've been bribed.

264

This is obviously illegal and unethical.

265

You might also hear about athletes throwing a game, losing on purpose.

266

Here's another example.

267

Let me make things a little easier for you.

268

Figure out a way to throw this case or figure out where you're going to work when you get out of here because I don't know where it's going to be if it's not for us.

269

281

I presented it to him and recommended that he take it.

282

In fact, I urged him to take it.

283

284

He told me to tell you to shove it up your ass.
