A question about TV series transcription --- What did the girls say?
Recently, I started to do transcription of a TV series called Gilmore Girls.

Here is the link of a part of the conversation between two girls, Rory and Lane. Lane's a Korean girls whose parents are very conservative.

And I find the script on the Internet:
RORY: When are you going to let your parents know that you listen to the evil rock music? You're an American teenager, for God's sake.
LANE: Rory, if my parents don’t get upset over the obscene portion size of American food, I seriously doubt I'm gonna make any inroads with Eminem.

But I encountered some questions...
1.I didn't hear "going to " in "When are you going to...". Did Rory really say the words?
2. What does " the obscene portion size of American food" mean? It means that American food often comes in large portion?

Can anyone help me?http://www.freewebtown.com/kellyliwod/01.wma

Answer

You are right, Kelly. She did not say "when are you going to." Great job picking up on this! :)

She actually said "when are you gonna." This is not proper English but a very, VERY common way of shortening the phrase "going to"... probably happened because the sounds of "g" and "t" are really awkward together, and is a difficult sound to make. In many cases, in spoken English, "gonna" (although not a real word) is more common than "going to."

Answer

Hi Kelly,

I can't listen to the media file at work, but I can answer #2
"The obscene portion size of American food" definitely means that food in the USA comes in large portions. (Usually more than a person can actually eat)

Answer

I didn't hear it also.That's what I hear..
"When were you laid, your parent's known you've used into the evil rock music.You're an American teenager, for God's sake."
