Hey all... I was watching some english movies and I came across this line:
"Neither does Matt, and I think we'd both like to."
What does "I think we'd both like to", shouldn't it be "We'd both like to?"
B - Matt
Here is the whole context:
A:Just grabbing snacks. Unless you wanna hang, 'cause I'm here if you do.
B: No, I'm good. All right. You sure? 'Cause you and I really haven't had a lot of time to catch up.
A: Ramona ordered a boyfriend on Postmates, and Jackson's not dating a Popsicle stick. You're all caught up. B: Okay. Well, if you wanna know a fun fact about me... I'm from Florida, home of Disney World and boy bands. Wow, so fun. Why don't we talk later?
C: Wow, that was harsh.
B: Fuller, there's a guy out there from Florida ready to talk.
C: It seems like the guy just wants to connect with you, and you shut him down.I think you should know that Matt is a super-decent guy. Like, once, my whole family got sick from doughnut poisoning, and Matt nursed us all back to health. I didn't eat another doughnut for days.
B: That is a really touching story... but you don't know anything about me or my family.
C: I guess I don't. Neither does Matt, and I think we'd both like to.
" C does not know whether Matt would like to, so he says "I think" because even though he knows that he himself would like to, he has lumped in the unknown Matt with "we".
