Regrets In My Life

(1) Zak: Listen
Kate! I'm shot! I'm shot! Help me!

"I'm shot" means someone shot me (with a gun or something else).

(2) Kate: Listen
Oh my goodness, Zak! Are you okay?
(3) Zak: Listen
No. Look at all the [vocab word=blood]blood[/vocab]! I'm dying. I'm dying, Kate...

"I'm dying" is in present continuous tense.

(4) Kate: Listen
Let me call an [vocab word=ambulance]ambulance[/vocab], Zak!
(5) Zak: Listen
Stop. Don't. I'm going to die [vocab word=anyway]anyway[/vocab].

"anyway" is an adverb. It means "in any case". Zak is saying, you can call an ambulance or do other things. But, I will die. That doesn't change.

(6) Zak: Listen
You know what, Kate, my life has been a boring life. I've never done any interesting things. I've never [vocab word=accomplish]accomplished[/vocab] anything.

"You know what?" is a good way to open a new topic in spoken English.

(7) Zak: Listen
I've lived here for 10 years, but I've never been to the [vocab word=beach]beach[/vocab]. I've never been to the [vocab word=night club]night clubs[/vocab].
(8) Zak: Listen
I've always wanted my [vocab word=own]own[/vocab] family [vocab word=since]since[/vocab] [vocab word=childhood]childhood[/vocab]. I've always wanted a [vocab word=wife]wife[/vocab] and a child in a nice home in a nice city.

"my own family" means "my wife (or husband) and my children". "I want a family" means to marry someone and have a child or children.

(9) Zak: Listen
But, you know what? I have never even had a girlfriend. I've talked to some girls in my office before. But, they aren't [vocab word=interested]interested[/vocab] in me.
(10) Zak: Listen
I'm [vocab word=almost]almost[/vocab] 30 and I still live with my parents. I haven't bought a house, [vocab word=yet]yet[/vocab]. I haven't even bought a car, yet.

"almost 30" means 27, 28, or 29 years old.

(11) Zak: Listen
You've known me since childhood. Have you ever met a [vocab word=loser]loser[/vocab] [vocab word=like]like[/vocab] me? No...

A "loser" always loses. He or she is bad at life. "like" means "similar to".

(12) Zak: Listen
So, goodbye, Kate. I will see you in my [vocab word=next]next[/vocab] life...

"next life" means the life after this one. In some religions, you die and you start a new life again as a baby. But, "I will see you in next life" is common in spoken English regardless of a person's religious belief.

(13) Zak: Listen
... Have you called the ambulance, yet?
(14) Kate: Listen
Zak, you are not dying. That's not your blood. That's my tomato juice. And, a [vocab word=bullet]bullet[/vocab] didn't hit you. It was just a small [vocab word=rock]rock[/vocab]!
