What happens when
after celebrating your birthday the night before you are denied the one thing you need the most: your energy drink of choice?
Watch and see for
yourself :)
to BE DENIED SOMETHING – ktoś nam czegoś odmawia
(somebody doesn’t want to let us have or do something)

A selection of lines from the video:
I can’t sell this to you. It’s Gatorade, so it’s for gals who have been working out hard and breaking
a sweat.
I drink this this stuff all the time after I work out.
But you’re not sweating now.
GALS – dziewczyny (GIRLS)
TO WORK OUT –
ćwiczyć (to exercise)
to BREAK A SWEAT –
spocić się (to get wet and tired because you’ve exercised a lot)
I feel like you don’t
have really a winning attitude right
now.
to HAVE A WINNING
ATTITUDE – myśleć jak zwycięzca, mieć zwycięskie myślenie, dosł. podejście (to
be optimistic, self-confident, etc. just like a winner)
- Are you waiting for….
- a winning attitude? I just need the Gatorade.
It’s not designed
for that. It’s designed for workouts. So if you made distracted decisions at night, …
DISTRACTED – tu:
wywołane roztargnieniem, nieuwagą (here: not well thought out,
unplanned)
Let me let my manager make a ruling on this, ok?

Pójdę po niego. (I will go and get him.)
You gotta be
sweating to have that.

got to, you have to – musisz
