  è veramente, sono di Canada.

  Yeah, I agree, the Americans should definitely elect Obama.
  Sono d’accordo, gli Americani dovrei scegliere Obama.

  That pizza was awesome, man.
  Questa pizza è stato fantastico!

  Where can we get some weed?
  Dove possiamo prendere qualche marijuana?

  No, I swear, I thought he was a woman.
  Lo giuro! Ho pensato che lui è una donna.

  I lied before. I’m from New York.
  Ho mentito prima. Sono di New York.

  I need the American Consulate.
  Ho bisogno andare al consolato americano.

  No, you can’t send me back to Canada.  Look, this is an American passport!
  Non puoi mi rimpatriare in Canada.  Guarda, c’è un passaporto americano.

  Wow, it looks like you’re planning an eventful trip. I think I’m glad I’m staying home.
