| [00:01.97] | Ah Vera, it's great that you've come with me during our lunch break to do some shopping. I need to buy a suit to go to a wedding and I have to look very smart. |
| [00:11.54] | And I will make sure of that, Rob. Everybody says I have good taste. I've always chosen my husband's and my son's pyjamas and they look good while they sleep! |
| [00:23.86] | Rob, I love that grey suit in the window. |
| [00:27.21] | Wow. It looks really smart, actually. It will make me look great. |
| [00:33.50] | Exactly! Let's go into the shop, you must try it. |
| [00:40.59] | The colour suits you, Sir. I will see if I can find a smaller size so that it fits you perfectly. |
| [00:48.24] | You see, Rob. This salesman knows what he is talking about. He thinks it looks good on you. |
| [00:54.84] | But he is right, a size smaller would fit better. And everybody in the wedding will think you are a powerful man. |
| [01:03.18] | Yes. Oh wait Vera, this suit is not for me. I'm reading this label and it says it costs an arm and a leg. |
| [01:13.12] | An arm and a leg!? This is terrible, Rob. It's barbaric. This is the 21st century, not the Middle Ages. |
| [01:23.73] | And the salesman seems quite civilised.He sounded like a nice man who wouldn't demand your limbs. |
| [01:31.22] | Don't worry, Vera. I will keep all of my limbs. In English, when we say something costs an arm and a leg we mean that it is very expensive. |
| [01:40.49] | So, it is something people say but it doesn't actually involve arms and legs. That's a relief. |
| [01:47.15] | Let's hear some examples while I get back into my old clothes. |
| [01:51.59] | I'd like to travel all over Europe, but the air fare might cost me an arm and a leg. |
| [01:57.21] | You have to pay a lot of money to give your children a good education nowadays. A place in a top university costs an arm and a leg. |
| [02:07.96] | So, what expression do you use when you want to say that something's very, very expensive? |
| [02:15.40] | You might say it costs an arm and a leg. |
| [02:18.31] | Yeah. Now let's leave this expensive suit here and get out of the shop before that posh-sounding salesman comes back. |
| [02:25.54] | Good idea. He will look down on us, Rob. But I would pay a nail and an elbow for that scarf there and that red dress over there, it might cost a foot and a knee. |
| [02:41.66] | Oh, look at that handbag. It's a designer one and must cost an ear and a hand. |
| [02:50.11] | What are you talking about, Vera? We only say "an arm and a leg". Now, quickly, let's get out of here. |
| [02:57.40] | OK, OK. Bye. |
