one situation....
Hi guys,
may I ask you for help with one situation? I just saw one episode of on excellent crime TV show called Monk and I can't get out my head one scene...Context: Mr.Monk doesn't want to pay out his janitor. That janitor is a woman ans she's screaming at him...
Mr.Monk: I wish I could you give the money. If it were up to me.
Janitor: Of course it's up to you.
Mr.Monk: I need you to use your inside voice. (Is he saying her....Ask yourself, why I can't give you the money? Or is this some kind american way of saying...Be quiet? I'm missing the point here..:-(
Janitor: What. Oh, my god! God!
Mr.Monk: I'm a little short of cash right now, okay? But I'm good for it. You know I'm good for it. Just keep track. ( Good for what? I'm again confused here...Is he saying...But I'll pay you later because it seems that I got the solution of my money problem. Or is he saying just...But I'll pay you...I'll pay you...Please what's the point here?
Janitor: Yeah, I have been keeping track. It's over $1,800, mr. Monk.
thank you in advance for your help...
Best Regards

I'm a Monk fan too, although I've only seen the earlier seasons. I think it would be good for practicing English. We'll be happy to help you with anything you don't understand.
