Where We Teach You American English Heard at the movies.

The 2013 movie Life of a King is based on the story of Eugene Brown.

He learned to play the board game chest while in prison.

After his release, he seeks an honest life.

He sets an example for poor teenagers by comparing the game of chess to life decisions.

Brown is asked why he went to prison.

Listen for the words.

I took the fall.

I robbed a bank.

Yeah, the cops came and we all scattered.

Mhm when I took the phone booth, then I learned, What did you learn?

I learned the board your most.

What do you think I took the fall means?

Is it a I fell down suddenly, or B.

I was arrested for a crime while others involved went free.

I robbed a bank.

Tops came and we all scattered.

Mhm, Yeah, when I took the phone and then I learned, Where did you learn?

I learned the board.

The answer is B.

If someone takes the fall, they are usually the only one taking blame in wrongdoing, even though others are involved.
