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

Wait, wait, please, I know you'll never forgive me and I don't blame you.

I wouldn't forgive me either.

I was ignorant and irresponsible and small-minded.

But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes.

I have to fix this.

But I can't do it without you.

And after we're done, you can hate me.

Oh, Nick, night howlers aren't wolves, they're toxic flowers.

In Zootopia, the night howlers are these flowers.

These toxic blooms can transform civilized predators into wild beasts.

The name of this flower might give you a clue about its effect.

Howling is that a long mournful sound that wolves make at night.

But it can also describe a strong wind, just like in that hit song Let It Go from Frozen.

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside.

I think someone is targeting predators on purpose and making them go savage.

Judy, a determined bunny cop, suspects someone is deliberately targeting predators with these flowers.

Targeting here means intentionally harming a specific group, like predators in Zootopia.

On purpose is the same as saying deliberately or having a plan or intention to do something.

You wasted the day on purpose.

Madam, I have a fake badge.

I would never impede your pretend investigation.

In a general sense, to target means to focus on something specific.

Check out this example.

The company is targeting young adults with their new social media campaign.

This means the company is designing its campaign specifically for young adults.

Predators are animals that hunt other animals for food, like lions, wolves, and foxes.

When a predator goes savage, it means they become violent and uncontrollable.

Judy says she doesn't blame Nick for his coldness.

When you blame someone, you think they're responsible for something wrong.

In this context, she understands that Nick had all the reasons to turn away, so there is nothing she could blame him for.

By saying I wouldn't forgive me either, Judy means that she understands how Nick turns away from her.

She would do the same.

So either or either is used in negative sentences instead of also or to.

So we already covered some awesome new words today.

But what happens next?

If you don't review them, most probably you'll start forgetting them pretty soon.

And do you want to make sure that you can actually use these words in your next English conversation?

Then I have a perfect solution for you.

We created an exclusive set of flashcards available for you on the RealLife English app for free.

This is the easiest way for you to review and memorize all the important vocabulary from today's lesson.

Here's the magic.

We use a spaced repetition system.

This smart algorithm knows when you're about to forget a word and prompts you to review it just in time.

Practice for just 10-15 minutes a day and you'll always have the right words at the tip of your tongue when you need them in real conversations.

When you describe someone as ignorant, you're saying that they are unskilled and inexperienced.

And small-minded implies that a person is not willing to listen and accept the ideas of others.

This is how Judy describes herself in the past and now she realizes that her mistakes are causing predators to suffer.

To suffer means to experience pain and hardship.

So, let's break down the connected speech in this part of the clip.

I have to.

It is a very common reduction happening here.

Have to gets reduced to hafta.

Follow me as I am explaining the reduction happening here.

The T stands between the two vowels and it turns into a D sound.

But I...

The NT letter combination loses its T sound and gets linked to the next word group.

Do it.

Can do it.

Actually, the N sound T in do it is a silent T as well as the NT in the word without.

We stop the flow there so the sound doesn't come out.

Awesome job, guys.

Are you ready to watch the rest of the scene?

But be careful.

This one is very emotional.

And that'll be fine because I was a horrible friend and I hurt you and you can walk away knowing that you were right all along.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

Don't worry, carrots.

I'll let you erase it in 48 hours.

All right, get in here.

Okay.

Oh, you bunnies.

You're so emotional.

There we go.

Deep breath.

Are you just trying to steal the pen?

Is that what this is?

You are standing on my tail though.

Oh, I'm sorry.

And that'll be fine because I was a horrible friend.

Judy feels that she was a horrible friend because she deeply hurt Nick's feelings with her prejudiced assumptions about all the predators.

Horrible here means awful and terrible.

And I hurt you and you can walk away knowing that you were right all along.

Imagine you're arguing with a friend and it turns out they were correct the whole time.

You might say you were right all along, meaning they were correct from the very beginning.

For the first time, I am thinking clearly.

You were right all along.

I'm not a space ranger.

I'm just a toy, a stupid little insignificant toy.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

Pay attention to this word, dumb.

We don't pronounce the sound B at the end. Dumb means stupid.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

Don't worry, carrots.

I'll let you erase it.

Think of a whiteboard.

When you erase something, it disappears.

So to erase is to remove something completely.

Bart, I am so proud of you.

You've shown a sensitive side of yourself that can never be erased.

In 48 hours. 48 hours.

This phrase means that something will happen 48 hours from now.

For instance, I will meet my friends in two hours.

But let's look at some other expressions.

After 48 hours means something will happen at some point following a period of 48 hours. 48 hours later means something happens exactly 48 hours after a specific event or a time reference.

It can refer to the past or to the future.

Check out these examples.

He submitted his application on Friday afternoon.

And 48 hours later, he received an interview invitation.

We will meet on Wednesday.

And 48 hours later, we will have a follow-up meeting.

It's great to practice the connected speech of this phrase as well.

In 48 hours.

The T sound stands between the two vowels and turns into a flap T.

Forty.

Then the T in eight is also followed by the vowel sound.

So we get this D sound again.

Eight hours.

Let's say it together. 48 hours.

In 48 hours.

In 48 hours.

Okay.

Oh, you bunnies.

You're so emotional.

There we go.

Deep breath.

Nick says there we go, showing relief and encouragement.

He's relieved that Judy has calmed down after taking a deep breath.

And he's encouraging her to relax further.

Now, when we put our cups together, we will make the clink sound with our mouths. Eat it.

Clink.

There we go.

And now we drink.

There we go.

Deep breath.

Pay attention to the sound E in the word breath.

It's not breathe.

It's breath.

But it gets tricky with the verb.

Because the verb to breathe actually has the sound E.

To breathe.

Now, you may hear this common collocation, to take a deep breath.

Steal is to take something that belongs to someone else without permission.

Nick jokingly accuses Judy of trying to steal the pen as she leans over him.

There we go.

You've made it to the very end of this lesson.

Now, let's watch the clip one more time and see how much of it you can understand without subtitles.

It's time for a test.

What does it mean to howl?

To ask many questions?

To be toxic and dangerous?

To make a loud noise?

I don't blame you.

I wouldn't forgive me either.

I was ignorant and irresponsible and small-minded.

But predators shouldn't suffer because of my mistakes.

I have to fix this.

But I can't do it without you.

And...

And afterward time...

You can hate me.

And...

And that'll be fine.

I'm just a horrible friend.

What is the opposite of horrible?

Horrific?

Painful? And I hurt you.

And you...

And you can walk away knowing that you were right all along.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

I really am just a dumb bunny.

Don't worry, Carrots.

I'll let you erase it.

In 48 hours.

All right, get in here.

Okay.

Oh, you bunnies.

You're so emotional.

There we go.

Deep breath.

Are you just trying to steal the pen?

What can a person steal?

Money? Idea?

Is that what this is?

You are standing on my tail.

I'm sorry.
