ESL Podcast 649 – Disliking a Sibling’s Boyfriend(在线收听

  Georgia: So I thought Carla was nice.
  Andy: You did? I didn’t get that impression at all. I don’t know what Brian sees in her.
  Georgia: Really? I thought she was really trying to make a good impression.
  Andy: Yeah, she was trying too hard. She laughed too loudly at my jokes and complimented you too much on your cooking.
  Georgia: Maybe she was a little too eager, but that just shows that she really likes our brother. What’s wrong with that?
  Andy: Nothing is wrong with that, but did you see how clingy she was? She wouldn’t leave Brian’s side for a minute, spoke for him, and finished his sentences. I just found that really annoying.
  Georgia: Brian didn’t seem to mind and that’s what really counts. Maybe he likes having an attentive girlfriend.
  Andy: There’s attentive and there’s smothering. She just seemed really possessive, that’s all.
  Georgia: Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.
  Andy: What do you mean by that?
  Georgia: I think you might like Carla a little too much for your own good. Shame on you, being interested in your own brother’s girlfriend.
  Andy: Are you crazy?! Didn’t I just tell you that I didn’t like her at all?
  Georgia: Yes, but you said it with such passion!
