PE 2/17 Amy Poehler Speech – Part 3

Listen, say yes, live in the moment, and make sure you play with people who have your back, make big choices early and often. Don’t start a scene where two people are talking about jumping out of a plane.
* in the moment: with focus on the present time
ex> Studies show that people who live in the moment live longer, happier lives.
* have one’s back: to be watchful and ready to provide assistance
ex> It was so reassuring to know that my team captain always had my back.

If you are scared, look into your partner’s eyes. You will feel better. This advice has come in handy and it would often be something I would think about when I would perform on Saturday Night Live.
* come in handy: to be useful when needed
ex> My uncle won’t throw out anything that could come in handy.
ex> Those bags of sand sure came in handy when we had that unexpected snowfall.

Live television can be very nerve-racking and I remember one time being nervous, looking into the eyes of the host and feeling better.
* nerve-racking: distressful; unsettling
ex> Why do you spend so much time on that nerve-racking jigsaw puzzle?

See how that works? I should point out that that sketch was written by a Harvard graduate and also a graduate from Northwestern but who cares about that, am I right?
* point out: to direct someone’s attention to something
= highlight; call attention to; zero in on
ex> I would like to point out that we've had zucchini every night for the past week.
