Speaker A

I can't believe I did this! Mother would be so furious.

Speaker A

That's okay, I mean, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right?

Speaker A

Oh my gosh, this would kill her.

Speaker A

This is so fun!

Speaker A

I am a horrible daughter.

Speaker A

I'm going back.

Speaker A

I am never going back!

Speaker A

I am a despicable human being.

Speaker A

Best day ever!

Speaker A

Rapunzel has just left the tower for the very first time in her 18 years of life.

Speaker A

She's been locked away by Mother Gothel, who claimed the outside world was too dangerous.

Speaker A

But Rapunzel has always had her heart set on seeing those mysterious floating lights that appear in the sky every year on her birthday.

Speaker A

Now, she's having major mixed feelings about this adventure.

Speaker A

She's completely torn between excitement and guilt.

Speaker A

One moment she's dancing with joy, the next she's crying, thinking she's a terrible daughter for disobeying her mother.

Speaker A

By the way, we could call these changes mood swings.

Speaker A

And then there is Flynn Rider, this charming thief who's become her reluctant guide.

Speaker A

At first, he doesn't really want to help her.

Speaker A

He just wants his satchel back, which Rapunzel has hidden from him.

Speaker A

Speaker A

Now, let's begin by watching the first clip with subtitles.

Speaker A

You know, I can't help but notice you seem a little at war with yourself here.

Speaker A

What?

Speaker A

Now, I'm only picking up bits and pieces, of course.

Speaker A

Overprotective mother, forbidden road trip.

Speaker A

I mean, this is serious stuff.

Speaker A

But let me ease your conscience.

Speaker A

This is part of growing up.

Speaker A

A little rebellion, a little adventure.

Speaker A

That's good.

Speaker A

Healthy, even.

Speaker A

You think?

Speaker A

I know.

Speaker A

You're way overthinking this, trust me.

Speaker A

Does your mother deserve it?

Speaker A

No.

Speaker A

Would this break her heart and crush her soul?

Speaker A

Of course.

Speaker A

But you've just got to do it.

Speaker A

Break her heart?

Speaker A

In half.

Speaker A

Crush her soul?

Speaker A

Like a grape.

Speaker A

She would be heartbroken.

Speaker A

You're right.

Speaker A

I am, aren't I?

Speaker A

Oh, bother.

Speaker A

All right.

Speaker A

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm letting you out of the deal.

Speaker A

What?

Speaker A

That's right.

Speaker A

But don't thank me.

Speaker A

Let's just turn around and get you home.

Speaker A

Here's your pan.

Speaker A

Here's your frog.

Speaker A

I get back my satchel.

Speaker A

You get back a mother-daughter relationship based on mutual trust.

Speaker A

And voila!

Speaker A

We part ways as unlikely friends.

Speaker A

No!

Speaker A

I am seeing those lanterns.

Speaker A

Oh, come on!

Speaker A

What is it going to take for me to get my satchel back?

Speaker A

I will use this.

Speaker A

Is it ruffians?

Speaker A

Thugs?

Speaker A

Have they come for me?

Speaker A

Stay calm.

Speaker A

It can probably smell fear.

Speaker A

Oh!

Speaker A

Sorry.

Speaker A

Guess I'm just a little bit jumpy.

Speaker A

Now let's learn the advanced expressions we just saw.

Speaker A

You know, I can't help but notice you seem a little at war with yourself here.

Speaker A

When you can't help but do something, it means you do it automatically.

Speaker A

You don't have control over it.

Speaker A

For example, she can't help but worry about her kids when they are out late.

Speaker A

Or we can't help feeling excited about the vacation.

Speaker A

It's like saying I can't stop myself from doing it.

Speaker A

Now, when someone says they can't help but notice something, they mean it's so obvious.

Speaker A

It's impossible not to see it.

Speaker A

Flynn noticed Rapunzel's internal conflict without even trying to notice it.

Speaker A

I'm only picking up bits and pieces, of course.

Speaker A

Overprotective mother, forbidden road trip.

Speaker A

I mean, this is serious stuff.
