ljswaveYou got a date with justice, One-Eyed Bart!

ljswaveAll right, guys. We got one shot at this. Everyone ready?

This is stylized "bad English." It's understood that these "characters" do not speak like college professors.

To be "correct," you can replace "got" with "have" in both examples.

To be somewhere in between, use "you've got" and "we've got."
At least this makes it clear that the present tense is intended.

When you use "got" alone, it could be past or present. (Bad English!)
I got a speeding ticket yesterday. (This is actually very common among educated native speakers.)

I can't see you tonight. I got to do my homework. (common casual, but BAD)

Thank for your useful , polite answers,Avangi.
I have known "got" means "have got"="have"= "got" through the book called "Grammer In Use". but I was wondering it is used commonly or casually among the native speakers. then now I got it.^^

Avangi · Answer

Native speakers often say things like "I gotta go now" in casual conversation -- sometimes people with higher education!

Bye! I gotta go! - A.
