                                           Dialogue in slang

                                     At the Movies…

Chris and Lisa are seated in the movie theater waiting for Steve to arrive.

Chris: I wonder what`s keeping Steve?

Lisa: Oh, I forgot to tell you. He is not gonna show up. He called just before we took off.

Chris: What kind of line did he hand you this time?

Lisa: Something about his car dying again.

Chris: What a bunch of noise. He doesn`t even have a car. He gets around everywhere by bike. I don`t know what he`s trying to pull. The guy`s a total flake. 

Lisa: You said it. That`s the last straw. The guy lies like a rug. I dunno why we`ve put up with him for this long. I`m telling you, if I run into him tomorrow, I`m reading him the riot act. This time, he blew it big time. Man, I`m gonna have a field day with him.

Chris: Try not to lose your cool too much. One thing`s for sure. It`ll be a cold day in hell before we invite him to the movies again. By the way, do you even know what this movie`s about?

Lisa: All I know is that the critics panned it. They all said the star kept blowing his lines. But you can always count on one thing … if a critic thinks a movie`s a bomb, it`ll be a smash hit.                                              

                           Translation of dialogue in standard English

                                    At the Movies…

Chris: I wonder what`s detaining Steve?

Lisa: Oh, I forgot to tell you. He is not going to arrive. He called just before we left.

Chris: What kind of excuse did he give you this time?

Lisa: Something about his car becoming inoperable again.

Chris: What a lot of nonsense. He doesn`t even have a car. He commutes everywhere by bike. I do not know what he is trying to succeed at doing. The man is totally unreliable.

Lisa: I agree. That`s all I can tolerate. The man always lies. I do not know why we`ve tolerated him for this long. I am telling you, if I inadvertently encounter him tomorrow, I`m reprimanding him. This time, he made a big mistake. Man, I am going to have a great time yelling at him.

Chris: Try not to lose your temper too much. One thing is certain. We`ll never invite him to the movies again. Incidentally, do you even know what this movie`s about?

Lisa: All I know is that the critics criticized it harshly. They all said the star kept making mistakes saying his lines. But you can always depend on one thing … if a critic thinks a movie is a bad production, it`ll be a huge success.
