Background introduction: "Jersey Girl" tells the emotional story of a single father. Ollie (played by Ben Affleck) is a successful Manhattan music critic, but his beloved wife (played by Jennifer Lopez) died shortly after giving birth to their daughter Gertie, and then Ollie lost his job. . He took his daughter back to his hometown in the New Jersey countryside.

One day, Ollie met Maya (Liv Tyler) in the video store. Maya gradually makes Ollie understand: forget the past, happiness is right in front of you.

This conversation took place not long after Ollie and Maya had just met. They had some minor misunderstandings. Maya came here to apologize and wanted to know more about Ollie.

Language points:

1. The original meaning of "nerve" is "nerve, courage, courage." There are many phrases in English that describe mental and emotional states, all with "nerve" as the backbone. Except here "get some nerve" means "have the guts".

There are also "get on sb.'s nerves" (to upset someone, irritate someone) and "regain one's nerve" (to restore courage or confidence), etc.

2. "Banner" commonly means "flag, slogan". However, in modern American slang, it is often used to modify nouns of a certain time (evening, month, year) to describe the subject being very "satisfied" during this period of time. For example: 2003 has been a banner year for my company. (For our company, 2003 is a successful year).

3. "Karma" in Maya's last sentence comes from ancient Indian Sanskrit, which means "karma, retribution." European and American countries have become very interested in Eastern culture in recent years, and many young people often talk about some Sanskrit words. The "Krishna" that Oli said next is "Krishna" in Hinduism, the eighth incarnation of the main god Vishnu.

"Square someone with something" means "to equate someone with something." What Oli means here is: "You think you can become an immortal by treating me to a meal."
