Pleasure :-)

I gtet it! Thank you soooooo much!!! :)

Ahh I get it! It's just a play on words. Speaker B says "is THIS someone you want to impress?" Speaker A repeats "THIS" in his reply to make it more emphatic. You're right that the sentence is really "wrong". I can't really describe it better than that, sorry. It's a use of language that falls under the heading of "breaking the rules to make a point". I think it's slightly humorous as well. I also imagine it's the sort of thing that is done in many languages, it's not a specifically English thing.

Many thanks, Jon!! :D Actually right after A says the line, "I'm little freaked out," B says to A "I don't know who that is, but is this someone you want to impress?" Then, A says "This is a genius." As you said, I might have misheard. So I checked the video, and I could only hear it as "This is genius," but in the transcript (the movie, THE INTERN), it says "This is a genius." So, if it's "This is genius," does it make sense in that scene? Then I guess the meaning should be the first definition that you said, but still I didn't get the point.. :'(

I only write because I can see your question going down the list without an answer! As a native speaker, this does indeed strike me as a very odd way to speak, on the face of it. I have two possible explanations: 1. Did you mishear? Do they actually say "...I'm a little freaked out. This is genius." When we say "that's genius", we mean (humorously) that it's so clever it must have been done by a genius. But it refers to an action or an object, not to a person. 2. Is there some emphasis, when the line is spoken, on "is"? "This IS a genius." If that's the case, a fuller way to say it would be something like "this IS a genius we're talking about here". It's just a set phrase which, while strange, is quite common. Here's another example. "I couldn't believe the way she spent two hours just waving at strangers." "Well, this IS the Queen we're talking about here." This is only true if the main emphasis of voice is on the word "is". I hope all that helps - I realise it may not!
