Would you pls explain the one sentense of the dialog in the movie?
one dialog below in the movie , "the buket list" goes like: ----------
------------------------------------------------------
Cater: How much money do you have?
Edward: well, i wouldn't bleed on the rugs
Cater: i'm gonna find someplace where i can take a nice hot bath. Be as good as new afterwards.
Edward: Uh,,,You....Okay.===
[situation]
Cater's the top on the catheter on his body came loose.
so his shirt is wet by bleed. then he 's gonna take a bath.
my question:
i don't transfer the underlined Cater's speech.
Be as good as new afterwards.
woud you explain that meaning of it in detail?
certain subtitle goes like that part means "i'd like to get me some clothes for me." but, i don't understand why it translate.
example as
i can see the meaning like this:
He is as good as his mother ( is good)
Be as good as (i am )new afterwards.
if i make the full sentence it, how can i write?

"To be as good as new" means to be back to normal. Imagine a car that it old and doesn't run well. You work on it, clean it, repair everything until "it's as good as new" like it was when it was a new car.

- I haven't seen the movie so I don't know much about all the bleeding.
