It's cool! I had a fun time reading through the transcript. Plus, I'm studying to be a movie-writer, I love reading movie scripts

Well yeah, it is obvious that part of the sentence is being omitted. But the fact that you can say "No milk" and people around you know that what you mean to say is that there's no milk left is what's weird. Maybe not to an English-speaking person who's never known different, but for people who were raised in a different language this is kinda weird, cause no sentence means anything without a verb in it, and then you switch to English and you can make verbless sentences that should have a verb, but you leave it out and everyone still gets what you mean xD see what I mean?


everything is relative and contradictory ~
