Tina01

I'm soooo hungry! I need food now!

お腹ぺこぺこ〜！今すぐ食べなきゃ！

Frank02

Calm down. We should get in line.

落ち着いて。列に並ぼう。

Tina03

I'm so weak... so tired... so hungry.

力が出ない…すごく疲れた…お腹空いた。

Frank04

You said that this morning. And yesterday.

今朝も言ってたよ。昨日も。

Tina05

Hunger is no joke, Frank!

空腹は冗談じゃないのよ、フランク！

Frank06

Okay, okay. Let's order first.

わかった、わかった。まず注文しよう。

Tina07

A burger! And fries! And a shake!

ハンバーガー！それにポテト！それにシェイク！

Frank08

That is a lot for a "weak, tired" person.

「力のない、疲れた」人にしては、ずいぶんな量だね。

Tina09

I'm strong now. The smell cured me!

もう元気よ。匂いで治ったの！

WORDS & CONTEXT

Words & context

“soooo”

Soooo stretches the spelling of so to suggest a long, emphatic sound, much like drawing out a word when saying “I'm so hungry!” The same spelling appears in soooo bored in A1-27.

“Hunger is no joke”

Something is no joke means that it is serious, or no laughing matter. Tina uses hunger as the subject to make an exaggerated appeal: “Don't underestimate being hungry!”

“a shake”

Shake is short for milkshake, a standard drink at a burger restaurant. A burger, fries, and a shake is a classic American combination.
