The story so far
Everything you need before watchingPresident Business is about to freeze the world. Wyldstyle hijacks a broadcast and apologizes for looking down on people who only follow instructions. Emmet, she says, was just a face in the crowd, yet he came closest to saving everyone. She tells citizens to literally break the ground, tear down their walls, and build the weird ideas in their heads. Benny finally gets permission to make a spaceship. Watch a rebel sell originality as something ordinary people can do.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Build things only you could build.”
去建只有你能建的东西。
only you 把原创说成不可替代，短得像口号。
Build things only you could + 动词。
鼓励别人做只有自己风格能做成的事。
Make what only you can make. ／ Do the thing only you would do.
informal
Build 起势，only you 加重，build 落下。
“He was so good at fitting in, no one ever saw him.”
他太会融入了，从来没人看见他。
so...that 省掉 that，合群反而变成隐形，一句翻案。
so good at + ing，结果从句。
说某人太合群、太听话，反而被忽略时。
He blended in so well nobody noticed. ／ She was so quiet nobody saw her.
neutral
so good 拉长，fitting in 连读，saw him 顿住。
“I could build a spaceship!”
我可以造一艘飞船！
could 从试探变成爆发，整章最响的一句许可。
I could + 动词原形 + 名词！
终于被允许做一直想做的事、脱口而出时。

Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageUh... Ahem. Hey, everybody. You don't know me, but I'm on TV, so you can trust me. I know things seem kind of bad right now. But there is a way out of this. This is Emmet. And he was just like all of you. A face in the crowd... following the same instructions as you. He was so good at fitting in, no one ever saw him. And I owe you an apology... because I used to look down on people like that. "I used to think they were followers... with no ideas or vision." Because it turns out Emmet had great ideas. And even though they seemed weird... and kind of pointless... they actually came closer... than anyone else to saving the universe. And now we have to finish what he started... by making whatever weird thing pops into our heads. All of you have the ability inside of you to be a groundbreaker. And I mean literally! Break the ground! Peel up the pieces... tear apart your walls! Build things only you could build. Defend yourselves. We need to fight back against President Business'... plans to freeze us! Today will not be known as Taco Tuesday. It will be known as Freedom Friday! But still on a Tuesday!
