Diary-Friends
Below is one scene from Friends season 2. From it I learnt a new sentence which is “I had a whole speech prepared.”
Ross’s ex-wife Carol came to take the baby. They talked about the first things he did. Ross was very upset about missing the first time of everything. Carol told him that the baby cannot speak yet, and last week he said a word, which means he had high hopes of having this first time. So Ross wanted to be stay with his baby for more than one day. He said “ I want him for more than one, I want him for a whole weekend. I feel like…”. Before he finished his words, Carol said “Great”. She totally agreed that Ross take care of the baby for more than one day. Ross didn’t expect that she accepted immediately, he said “I had a whole speech prepared”. He supposed that Carol wouldn’t give him this chance. But he was wrong. Carol was very glad to let Ross look after the baby which is really a hard work.
