Another former protegee of Bill’s .

The suject of O- Ren’s blood and nationality came up before the council only once.

The night O_Ren assumed power over the crime council .

The man who seems bound and determined to break the mood is Boos Tanaka.

and what Boss Tanaka think is.

Boss Tanaka!

What’s the meaning of this outburst?

This is a time for calabration !

And what exactly are we celebration ?

The perversion of our council ?

Tanaka_san , of what perversion do you speak ?

Speak , of the perversion done to this council …which i love …more than my own children , …by making a chinese Jap_American half breed bitch its leader !

It was one year after the massacre in EI Paso Texas.

A massacre is the killing off the many people .

This can be used as a noun and as a verb , as in this example : Hundreds of civilians were massacred during that time.

If you’ve seen this movie , you know that Beatrix is referring to the massacre that took place during her wedding .

As , O_Ren_Ishii took part in it , now the Bride is looking for her to get revenge .

They Bill backed his Nippon progency financially and philosophically in her Shakespearean_in_magnitude power stuggle with the other Yakuza clans .

In many of his movies , Tarantino merges multiple analogies in a short sentence.

We will dissect this very complex phrase in order to understand its meaning.

If you back someone , you give support to that person , Example :he refused to back my ideas .

Sometimes we say this as a phrasal verb , back someone up .

All right , pheebs , back me up here , ok ?

You belive in that Karma carp , don’t you ?

By the way , good luck in your next life as a dung beetle.

Here , however , he is saying that Bill backed his nippon progency financially .

Back here is being used to in the sense of helping someone with money.

Nippon is an uncommon way to say Japanese and progency means offspring , even though O_Ren_Ishii is not Bill’s daughter , by this phrase you can understand that they had a very close relationship.

It is not very common that someone backs you philosophically.

By saying this phrase , Beatrix meant that Bill gave O’Ren ishii support in every way , as he taught her all sorts of things , mostly related t killing and ruling .

That Bill backed his Nippon progeny financially and philosophiacally in her Shakespearean_in_magnitude power struggle with the other Yakuza clans .

A clan is a group of people that share the same interest .

The yukuza are a powerful kapanese criminal organization .

A power struggle is basically a fight to gain leadership .

For example Shakespearean_in_magnitude if you watch Game of Thrones , you know the story is about one huge power struggle .

Magnitude is the size or important of something .

Example , I don’t think you understand the magnitude of the problem .

She describe the power struggle O’Ren had with the Yakuzas as “ shakespearean_in _magnitude.”

She says this because Shakespeare’s plays were often about themes such as a ambition, power and corruption.

So , what this very complex sentence is saying is that Bill supported O’Rens fight to become the boss of all bosses of the Yukuza gang.

Over who would rule vice in the city of Tokyo .

If you rule , You’re the person in charge of something , You could rule any hierarchical organization from a country to gang .

You helped me win the Iron Throne , now help me keep the damn thing.

We were meant to rule together .

If Your sister had lived , we’d have been bound by blood .

Vice is a word used to refer to illegal activities such as illegal activites such as illegal sex or drugs.

Example, the chief of police said he was committed to wipe out vice in the city .

There are usually mafia fights around who control these activites in the cities , because they are highly profitable.

When the final sword was sheathed ,

To sheathe is to put a sword into a sheath.

There is a metaphorical way of saying “when the fight was over .”

Can you guess what’s the opposite of to sheathe ?

That is to take the sword out of the sheath ?

It was O’Ren Ishii and her powerful posse…

The crazy 88, that proved the victor .

A posse is a group of people that have come together for the same purpose .

Example, the minister tried to escape from a posse of reporters that were following him.

The victor is the winner of a competition , war , election , etc.

In other words , a person who’s enjoying victory or who is victorious.

Example, the victor in the 1960 presidental election was Eisenhower .

So , with the aid of her powerful gang , O’Ren Ishii was the one that won the one the war between the Tokyo mafias.

The pretty lady to O’Ren’s right , who’s dressed like she’s villain on “star trek “

In every story there’s a villain , this is the “bad person “ of the story that aims to harm the others.

In this movie , we could say that Bill is the main villain of the story , the one that represents the evil side .

This phrase is quite humorous because she compares sofie’s clothes to this costume : Is O’Ren’s lawyer , best friend , and second lieutenant .

In the armed forces , an officer of middle rank is a lieutenant .

Morning , sir !

Get your hands down !

Do not salute me .

There’s goddamn snipers all around this area

Who would love to grease an officer.

i’m lieutenant Dan Taylor .

welcome to fourth platoon .

the half_french , half_ Japanese sofie fatale .

another former protegee of Bill’s .

protegee is a French word that was incorporated into the English language .

it refers to a young person who is helped and taught by an older one.

Note that you can see this word spelled like this : protégé Or this : protegee

While you would use the first one when talking of a man , you would see the second one to refer to a woman.

The same happens with the word fiancé (someone you are promised to mary) If it’s a woman , it is spelled:

Fiancée

In both cases, the pronunciation is the same .

Example, the young composer regarded himself as Barenbioim’s protégé .

Former means ex_ or existing or happening before , but not now.

Example, Braek Obama is the former president of the united states.

By the way , did you notice the interesting construction of this sentence ?

Another former protegee of Bill’s .

Your probably already know that to form the possessive in English , you add an ‘s.

However , here Beatrix also inverted the structure , so instesd of saying Bill’s protegee , she said a protegee of Bill’s.

Example, I’m Ana’s friend.

I’m a friend of Ana’s.

he’s mark’s professor .

he’s a professor of mark’s.

the young girl in the school_girl uniform is O’Ren’s personal bodyguard , 17_yaer_old Goge Yubari.

A bodyguard is someone who escorts and protects a prominenet person.

For example , every Hollywood stsr has their own bodyguard and every president has to have several around him.

Goge may be young , but what she lacks in age, she makes up for in madness .

Lack is a word you’d use to say that you don’t have enough of something that is needed or wanted .

Example, Sje just lacks a little confidence.

Make up for is a commonly used phrasal verb that means to compensate.

Example, he cooked me dinner to make up for being so late the lady before.

This is actually a common expression , you might lack in something ,but make up for it in another thing.

Example, what she lacks in experience , she makes up for in enthusiasm.

here’s an example of Sheldon using this expression in a ridiculous but funny way : I just want you all to know that I forgive you

This multiny isn’t your fault , its mine.

I haven’t earned these bars .

Although what I lack in leadership ,

Apparently I more than make up for in sewing.

So , Goge makes up for her young age with madness.

Madness is a aynonym of crazyness.

You could use this word to literally refer to the mental illness But you could also refer to someone’s irrational behaviour.

Let’s face it . A well- fed cam is hardly a model of emotional stability.

Now , deprive him of food ,

And stage by stage , it’s a slow descent into madness.

Sheldon , you need to learn how to drive .

This madness has to stop.

So , what Breatix is saying is that Goge is an insane young girl.

The bald guy in the black suit and the kato mask is Johny Mo the need general of O’Ren’s personal army, the crazy 88.

And just in case you were wondering

How could a half_bread Japanese_chinese American become the boss of all bosses in Tokyo , Japan , i’ll tell you.

In case like this one , the word wonder is used to express a wish to know about something .

Pardon us , sir.

Miss Kingsley is distracted today .

Where’s your head ?

I was wondering what it would be like to fly .

Why would you spend your time thinking about such an important thing ? why wouldn’t I ?

My father said he sometimes belived in six impossible things before breakfast .

We use breed to refer to , for example , different type of dogs , like Labradors or pugs.

We would also call one of the these a pure breed , meaning that they are 100% that type of dog .

So a half_breed would be less than 100%, and this might imply that it has less worth.

With humans , we don’t usually use the word breed . we use the word race .

Using words that characterize someone like an animal can be offensive , As is the case here by calling O’Ren a half_breed O’Ren to show that she is not of pure Japanese descendance , which in Yakuza society might make her seem like a less valuable Japanese person .

The subject of O’Ren’s blood and nationality came up before the council only once .

The subject of a conversation is the thing that is being discussed , considered or studied.

In other words , it can also be used as a synonym of “topic”

Example, he didn’t want to discuss that subject .

In case like this one , the phrasal verb come up can used to refer to a certain topic That is mentioned or talked about in a conversation .

Example, what points came up at the meeting ?

A council is a group of people that gathers.

For the purpose of giving advice or making decisions.

As we can see here , the council refers to the gathering of the bosses of the Japanese mafia , of which O’Ren is the leader.

The night O’Ren assumed power over the crime council.

In this context , to assume means to begin to have responsibility or control over a certain thing .

Example, the new president will assume office tomorrow.

This phrase refers to the moment where O’Ren started having control over the council .

The man who semms bound and determined to break the mood in boss tanaka .

The word bound can be used as a synonym of determined , that is really focused on a certain task , on which you concentrate all your strength and attention to .

Sometimes these two words are used together in order to emphasize the concent .

Example, he was bound and determined to fix the door.

If you break the mood , you spoil the atmosphere .

Example, she really broke the mood with her sad stories at the party .

And what Boss Tanaka thinks is…

Boss tanaka !

What’s the meaning of this outburst?

An outburst is an explosion , especially of angry feelings.

Example, When he heard he was getting fired he had an outburst of rage .

This is time for celebration !

And what exactly are we celebrating ?

The perversion of our council ?

Perversion refers to the changing of something so that it is not what it was or should be .

Example, His testimony was clearly a perversion of the truth .

Tanaka_san , of what perversion do you speak ?

Speak , of the perversion done to this council , Which I love …

More than my own children ,

By making a Chinese Jap_ American Half breed bitch its leader !

Jap is short for Japanese.

Boss Tanaka is insulting her because of her mixed roots(Chinese and American) Tanaka is saying that the presence of O’Ren perversed the council , as a woman with mixed heritage should not be in charge of the yakuza clans.

So that you understand how serious I am

I’m going to say this in English.

As your leader …

I encourage you from time to time,

And always in a respectful manner to question my logic If you’re unconvinced a particular plan of action I’ve decided is the wisest , tell me so .

But allow me to convince you.

And promise you , right here and now , no subject will ever be taboo .

Except , of course , the subject that was just under discussion .

The price you pay for bringing up either My Chinese or American heritage as a negative is, I collecte your fucking head.

Just like this fucker here.

Now , if any of you sons of bitches

Got anything else to say now is the fucking time !

I didn’t think so .

Gentlemen , this meeting is adjourned .

As your leader

I encourage you from time to time and I always in a respectful manner to question my logic .

To encourage means to give confidence to someone to do something .

Example, I was having doubts about it , but she encouraged me to finish university .

The word manner refers to the way in which something is done , Or the way in which you behave in a certain occasion .

Example, When he realized we were not interested in buying anything , his whole manner changed .

So , if you ask someone to treat you in a respectfull manner , you’re saying that person should act towards you in a respectful way .

As your leader …

I encouraging you from you time to time ,

And always in a respectful manner to question my logic .

If you question something , you express your doubts and ask question about that thing.

Example, they questioned their boss’ decisions.

Here logic refers to the way that person thinks.

So , if someone questions your logic , that person is unsure about your decisions and good judgment .

O’Ren is saying that she wants her followers to feel free to doubt her choices.

If you’re unconvinced a particular plan of action I’ve decided is the wisest , tell me so .

To be unconvinced means to not be convinced , that is , not brought to belive or accept something by someone’s argument .

Example, he was unconvinced the business would succeed.

Someone wise has the ability to make good judjments , based on a deep understanding and experience of life.

So , someone wise would probably make the wisest decision .

If someone is wise , we might also say she is

But allow me to convince you.

And promise you , right here and now ,

No subject will ever be taboo.

The verb allow means to let someone do something .

Example, she allows her kids to play video games only on the weekend.

However , she’s using the phrese allow me to to politrly ask for permission .

Is it at all possible that you’re knitting a pair of pants ?

Oh , well , no ,you’re understandably terrified .

You know, allow me to explain …

Okay , you know what ? I see where this is going .

I’m not one of you guys .

I’m not a scientist , so just …

penny , penny , penny …

everything you’re saying is true , but please allow me to continue.

Raj , you’re out.

A subject that’s taboo is avoided for social for social or religious reasons.

Example, the debate over abortion is taboo in many religious countries .

O_Ren is asking the council to trust her words when she says that she is open to any type of discussion .

Expect , of course , the subject that was just under discussion .

The word except is used when you don’t want to include a certain thing.

Example, the museum is open every day except Mondays .

Also , did you see how they say “under discussion ?”

In this case , the preposition under means “being “.

So , if something is under discussion , it is being discussed.

We collected this with some other words , too.

The new school is under construction .

The document is under review .

The idea is under consideration.

The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is .

If you bring up a certain topic during a discussion , you start talking about that particular subject.

You know what I like to do when i’m forced to speak with those beneath my intellectual station ?

I bring up an interesting topic , you know ?

Like the difference between spider_man and spiders .

Heritage can refer to practices or characteristics that are passed down through the years , from one generation to the next.

It can also refer to a person’s ethnic or cultural background .

Example : the organization aims to preserve the cultural heritage of the country .

In this scene , Boss Tanaka was killed because he crirtized O_Ren’s roots.

So , she is saying that anyone who questions her because of that one topic will face the same fate .

Let’s listen again to the way that O_Ren says this phrase.

The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is For bringin_gup either my .

Here we have a good example of connected speech .

This is the way that natives link their words together.

Up is a preposition , which is an example of a function word .

these words reduce and connect to content words , Like bring , or other function words , like the _ing in bringing .

So instead of saying bringing up , O_Ren says bringin_gup .

Native do this ahh the time .

Let’s hear some other example :

When you grow up , if you still feel raw about it … I’ll be waiting.

it’s a gaddamn massacre , pop.

They wiped out the whole wedding party,execution style.

Baby…

Now you can’t come in here .

There’s broken glass everywhere , and you could cut yourself .

I collect your fucking head .

To collect means to gather or accumulate objects.

Example : he collects stamps.

Fuck is an interesting word of the English vocabulary , beause it has a wide rang of meaning and it can be used in many different ways.

In cases like this one , it is used to emphasize a statement , especially an angry one.

Example : what a fucking waste of time .

As you can see here , O_Ren started her monologue talking in a very peaceful and polite way and ends up shouting and swearing .

Just like this fucker here .

As I’ve mentioned previously , the word fuck has several variants.

This one , fucker , refers to an unpleasant or stupid person .

Okay. We got this .

Ho !

You don’t send a boy to do a man’s job .

We brought them here we’ll take care of it .

Yeah , you know what ?

Have at them .

You have a safe word in case things go bad ?

Heh , that’s good .

Come on , flag , let’s show these fuckers how it’s done .

Sure. You got it , boss.

Hasta Ia vista , baby.

Terminator 2 , remember ?

Now , if any of you sons of bitches

Got anything else to say , now is the fucking time !

I didn’t think so .

Gentlemen , this meeting is adjourned the following Thursday .

To adjourn means to temporarily end a meeting.

Example : they adjourned the meeting until the following Thursday .

it was one year after the masscare in EI paso , Texas , that Bill backed his Nippon progency financially and philosophically in her shakes pearean_in_magnitude power struggle with the other Yakuza clans over who would rule vice in the city of Tokyo.

When the final sword was sheathed.

It was O_Ren Ishii ans her powerful posse… The crazy 88.

That proved the victor.

The pretty lady to O_Ren’s right , who’s dressed like she’s a villain on “star trek”

Is O-Ren’s lawyer , best friend , and second lieutenant.

The half _french , half _japanese sofie Fatale.

Another former protegee of Bill’s .

The young girl in the school_girl uniform is O_Ren’s personal bodyguard , 17_yaer_old Gego yubari.

Gego may be young , but what she lacks in age , She makes up for in madness.

The bald guy in the black suit and the kato mask is johnny Mo , The head general of O_Ren’s personal army , the crazy 88.
