With the First Class X-Men movie coming out I thought it would be a good idea to find out the origin of the term "First Class".
Hello my dear students, hold on a second I'm booking my flight.
Yes, I'd like to book a ticket to Moscow from Los Angeles this Sunday please.
Would that be First Class or coach?
Why, First Class of course! makes duh sound to the camera...
Wow, that Filet Mignon was great! I love First Class! Why is that guy smiling at me? Hmm.. Maybe I look hot or something! And now that other guy's smiling at me as well! Wow.. I must REALLY look hot! Wait a minute.. they're not looking at me, they're looking at..
Wow! Is it hot in here, or is it just you? Isn't that an X-Men First Class edition comic? Cool! How coincidental.. here we are sitting in First Class.. and you're reading a comic book called X-Men - First Class.. and the new X-Men movie is called X-Men - First Class!
But the new X-Men First Class movie is not about the X-Men flying around in airplanes in First Class!!! That would be stupid! Although I wish Hugh Jackman was flying around in First Class with us right now, right?
Anyway.. the First-Class that the movie title refers to is from the Latin classis which described a class, division, army or fleet.. and even though the X-Men are an army of sorts.. it's the later meaning of class - where it referred to a group of students, that the movie's title seems to actually come from...The X-Men.. or should I say X-Boys - as they are in school, discovering their powers.. and being that their powers are top notch.. that makes them part of the First-Class.. the best class.
There you go, another.. oh.. sorry.. I thought I was teaching a class just now!
That's cool info, right?
(In Russian) I didn't understand a word you said.. I don't speak English
(In Russian) But you're reading an English comic book!
(In Russian) I just like to look at the pictures!
Oh.. I... see... Well I heard parts of the movie was shot in Russia.. so I'm excited to see it.. even though there is no Hugh Jackman.. you know what I'm saying?
Would you like a drink mam?
Sure.. do you only offer soda and water?
Oh no mam.. you can have anything you want.
Anything? Well.. since I'm Russian.. I'll have a shot of vodka!
They probably only have cheap vodka here... oh yeah.. you don't speak English
No mam.. this is First Class.. we only have the best vodka.. Ruskova of course!
Ruskova?
Wow.. this really IS first class.. ok.. then bring me the whole bottle! - We'll both have it!
We see bottle of Ruskova Vodka put on Marina's tray.. she picks it up..
Wow.. Ruskova Vodka, nice! You know where the name Ruskova comes from? Well, the vodka itself actually comes from the town where I was born.. ...
mam? .. mam? hello?... mam.. are you still there?
Mam, are you there?
Oh.. Yes.. I'm here.
OK.. for one First-Class ticket from Los Angeles to Moscow this Sunday the cost will be $16,500.
16,500 dollars??? What??? Just to fly to Moscow for one person??? Hold on a second.. Umm.. make that one Economy class ticket to Moscow instead...
Sorry.. I had a bit of a glitch there.. ... Anyway.. if you were able to see my dream, then you now know where the term First Class comes from.
For your homework, have you ever flown first class?
bummer.... that was a great dream...
