1 thirsty: The adjective "thirsty" describes the feeling of desire or need for liquid. Note that in English, the adjective follows the verb "to be": I AM THIRSTY. In the conversation between Ruby and Icarus, Icarus observes that Ruby "was thirsty" after she drinks a double Singapore sling very quickly.
2 glasses: "Glasses" (or a pair of glasses) are worn to correct vision. In this conversation, Ruby tells Icarus that she is attracted by men who wear "glasses". A glass is also a vessel or container used to drink out of.
3 out cold: "To be out cold" is to be unconscious. The use of the adjective "cold" comes from the lack of heat a body emits while someone is unconscious. In the scene between Icarus and Ruby, Icarus falls from his chair and to the floor after being kissed by Ruby Delaware. She then cries that he "is out cold".
4 cheers: "Cheers" has many meanings, however in the context of bars and drinking, it is a toast (to someone's health, a new baby, etc.)

Complete Brian's notes about the properties of the materials.
| MATERIAL: | NOTES: |
| 1. Glass 1 | completely [not done] shattered 2, too brittle. |
| 2. Nickel 3 | too soft, large dent in Mr Delavigne's head; legs all [not done] twisted 4 |
| 3. Titanium 5 | no damage at all - it practically [not done] bounced 6, this material is light and tough |
1 Glass: This is correct. The first miniature statue is made out of glass. Jackson says that glass is too "brittle". If something is "brittle", it is hard but easily broken.
1 Nickel: Oops! Nickel is the second statue dropped by Jackson.
1 Titanium: Oops! Titanium is the third statue dropped by Jackson.
2 shattered: "To shatter" means to break into small pieces. Example: The vase completely SHATTERED when it fell on the floor. Fragile materials like glass often "shatter" when they break.
3 Nickel: This is correct. The second miniature statue is made out of nickel. Nickel is a silver-white metal used in making some types of steel and other alloys.
3 Glass: Didn't you hear? The first miniature statue is made out of glass!
3 Titanium: Nope! Titanium is the third statue dropped by Jackson!
4 twisted: "To twist" something means to turn, bend or interlace something, usually into a particular shape. Example: The sculptor TWISTED the wire into the shape of a man. However, if something is "twisted", it usually turned or bent into a shape that is not natural. Example: After the accident, the roof of the car was all TWISTED. In the conversation, Jackson says that Bruno's legs are "all twisted". This means that the impact of the fall has (severely) bent Bruno's legs into an unnatural shape.
5 Titanium: This is correct. The third miniature statue is made out of titanium. Titanium is a silver-white metal that combines strength and lightness. As Jackson says: "Titanium is light and tough - that's why they make airplanes out of this stuff!".
5 Nickel: Sorry, the second statue dropped by Jackson is made out of nickel.
5 Glass: Didn't you hear? The first miniature statue is made out of glass!
6 bounced: If an object "bounces" it moves quickly away from a surface after hitting it. The classic example is a ball bouncing. Example: In basketball, the players have to BOUNCE the ball when they move with it. When Jackson drops the statue made of titanium, he says that it "practically bounces". Apparently, this material is so robust that it isn't damaged when it hits the ground, but almost bounces like a ball!

1 glass: This is correct. These items are traditionally made from glass. "Glass" is a brittle, solid material used for things such as mirrors and windows. Although glass is not a natural resource, it is a major building material, and is an export of many countries.

1 steel: This is incorrect. These items are not usually made from steel. "Steel" is a hard metal (an alloy of iron) very common in buildings and household tools. The metal it comes from (iron) is a natural resource found in many countries.
1 oil: This is incorrect. These items are not usually made from oil. "Oil", or "petroleum" in its unrefined state, is used as fuel for automobiles, airplanes etc. It is one of the world's most sought-after (demanded) resources.
2 oil: This is correct. "Oil", or "petroleum", is used as fuel for automobiles, airplanes etc. It is one of the world's most sought-after (demanded) resources. Note that "oil" can refer both to petrol used for cars and planes (sometimes called creude oil), but also oil used in cooking.

Luna wants to "compost her waste". This means that Luna wants to recycle organic material to make fertilizer 1.
Luna also requests a "cat-flap", which is a little door for cats 2.
Luna also requests a "cat-flap", which is a little door for cats 2.
1 recycle organic material to make fertilizer: To "compost waste" is to convert organic material (such as vegetables or fruit) into soil or dirt which is rich in nutrients. This soil can then be used as a fertilizer, which accelerates the growth process for fruits, plants, vegetables etc. "Composting waste" is also an effective way of recycling organic material: Organic or biodegradable foods can be disposed of directly into a "compost pile" or "heap" in order to initiate the decomposition process.
1 eat only organic fruits and vegetables: "Composting waste" refers to the act of recycling organic matter, not eating organic products.
1 eliminate sanitation and plumbing charges: "Composting waste" refers to the act of recycling organic matter, and not to the charges associated with sanitation or plumbing.
1 separate glass, cans and plastic into separate recycling bins: Although "composting waste" is a way of recycling, this process doesn't involve separating glass, cans and plastic.
2 a little door for cats: A cat flap (or cat door) is a small entrance allowing cats to enter or exit a location.
2 a cat deterrent : A "deterrent" is designed to dissuade or discourage. It could be a device which frightens thieves or criminals such as a security system, or an odor which keeps away mosquitoes.
2 a trap for catching cats: A "trap" is a device used for catching or imprisoning something (a rabbit, a person, a mouse). A cat flap isn't designed to trap cats, but rather to allow them to enter and exit a location.
2 a pouch where cats keep their kittens: Cats don't keep kittens in pouches, you must be getting them confused with kangaroos! Good guess though, it would be cute if cats had pouches for kittens.

1 order: To "order food" is to request it at a restaurant. This verb is the only appropriate choice in this list.
1 command: The verb "command" isn't used in English to describe the act of requesting food. "Command" is generally reserved for expressing imperative wishes (from a person of high authority), for example: I command you to attack that squadron of Danish Dragoons.
1 demand: Although grammatically correct in this construction, the verb "to demand" isn't used to request food. In English, "to demand" expresses a stronger sense than "to ask" and is used to formally and urgently request something, generally in official context.
2 lunch: "Lunch" is generally the second meal of the day around midday.
2 dinner: "Dinner" is generally the last meal of the day, eaten sometime in the evening.
2 breakfast: "Breakfast" is generally the first meal of the day, eaten in the morning.
3 starter: "A starter" refers to an "appetizer" or "entrée" (in American English): a small, light dish served before the "main course", or principal dish.
3 beginner: As a noun, a "beginner" generally refers to a "novice" or "amateur". For example: Although he is just a beginner, he has shown a real aptitude for the language. The term is not used to describe a meal.
3 main course: The "main course" of a meal is the principal or biggest portion of it. It doesn't make sense for you to start with a "main course"!
3 first dish: This is a very literal description of a course, not used when ordering food at a restaurant!
4 bowl: "Soup" is traditionally eaten from a "bowl", a circular vessel, ideal for holding liquids.
4 plate: "Plates" are flat, and don't provide the depth necessary to contain a significant amount of fluid.
4 glass: "Glasses" do provide the depth necessary to contain a liquid, however "soup" is traditionally eaten from a bowl, whereas "glasses" typically house such liquids as juice, water and wine.
5 have: When ordering food, the verb "to have" is often used in place of the verb "to take". In fact in this construction, using "have" is the only grammatically correct answer!
5 take: "What will you take for dessert?" is very unnatural in English, and shouldn't be said. In this construction, and when ordering food in general, the verb "to have" is often used in place of "to take".
6 the main course: The main course of a meal is the principal or biggest portion of it. It makes sense for you to order a "main course" after the starter. Furthermore, your description of a cheeseburger fits under the category of a "main course"!
6 next: "What will you have for next?" doesn't make any sense, and shouldn't be said in English. A better way to rephrase this question: What will you have next? Note that "next" should never directly follow the preposition "for".
6 the principal plate: This is a very literal description of a course, not used when ordering food at a restaurant!
6 the big dish: This is a very literal description of a course, not used when ordering food at a restaurant!
7 on the side: When ordering food, to specify that something should be served "away from" or "adjacent to" another portion of food, we use the expression "on the side". In this dialogue, you are specifying that the French Fries should be served "on the side" of the plate, away from the cheeseburger. Note that the expression "on the side" can also be used in a different context to describe a secondary activity, for example: I am a doctor, but also a yoga instructor on the side.
7 aside: The term "aside" can express a similar meaning as the expression "on the side", however not in the context of ordering a meal. Although "aside" can describe a position "adjacent to" or "next to" an object, it shouldn't be used in this context.
7 sideways: The term "sideways" (both adjective and adverb) describes a position "at an angle" or "towards one side". The term cannot describe the placement of a portion of food on a plate.
7 outside: The term "outside" describes a position "towards the exterior" or "on the exterior" (of a location). It cannot be used to describe the placement of a portion of food on a plate in this context.
8 dessert: "Dessert" describes the last course of a meal, which generally includes sweet items such as fruit, chocolate, cake, cookies, etc. Note that in British English, dessert is often called "pudding". In the wise words of an obese and sardonic feline named Garfield, "life is short, eat dessert first".
8 desert: "Desert" with one "s" describes a hot, arid landscape without much precipitation, often full of sand and cacti. The Sahara, Mojave, Gobi and the Sonora are all famous deserts. There is an idiom I was once taught to remember which "desert" is which: You always want two "desserts" in the "desert", meaning that "dessert" (the food) takes two "esses"!
8 Sugar Plum Fairies: Good guess, but no. Sugar Plum Fairies are sprite-like creatures featured in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. There is also an obscure reference to Sugar Plum Fairies in the Beatles melancholy classic "A Day in the Life".
9 on a diet: "To be on a diet" describes a regimen designed to lose weight. The preposition "on" is used to form this expression.
9 in a diet: The preposition "on" is used to form this expression, not "in"!
9 doing a diet: This construction isn't formed with the verb "to do", but with the verb "to be"!
9 making a diet: This construction isn't formed with the verb "to make", but with the verb "to be"!
