OLAF: Or mutton Uke English mutton?
PEDRO: Or soup like English hotel soup. Nowhere, thank heaven!
HOB: Do you know the story of the man who was having soup in an English hotel? The waiter gave it to him and then, looking out of the window, said to the man, "It looks Uke rain, sir."2
1 watery^- водянистая
2 It looks Uke ram on lawaer "Похоже, собирается дождь". Посетитель вкладывает в слова
другой смысл: "Суп похож на дождевую воду, и вкус у него как у дождевой воды".

IT LOOKS LIKE RAIN, SIR
"Yes," said the man, as he took a spoonful of soup, "and it tastes like rain, too."
JAN: Soup doesn't matter to me if I get some good beef and potatoes and then some bread and cheese and butter. After a lunch like that, I can work all day.
HOB: After a lunch like that, I can sleep all afternoon.
PEDRO: The hotel that I am staying at is really quite good. We have...
HOB (interrupting): Talking about hotels, do you know this story about King George III of England? He was in the country one day and stopped at a small hotel for lunch. He wasn't very hungry, so he had only two boiled eggs. He ate them and asked for the bill. The landlord gave him the bill-two pounds. The King said, "What! Two pounds for two eggs? Eggs must be very scarce here."
"No, sir," said the landlord, "eggs are not scarce-but kings are."
LUCILLE: Oh, Hob, that's an old story. You will see it in every English book for foreign students. We can't laugh at that.
HOB: Oh, you ought to be like my Uncle Ben.
LUCILLE: Why, what is so good about him?
HOB: I'll tell you. Here is a little poem that I wrote about him and his wife Berta:
UNCLE BEN AUNT BERTA
"A dear old man is my Uncle Ben,
He knows the joke but he laughs again.
He's quite unlike his wife, Aunt Berta,
Who looks as if the joke has hurt her."

На с. 135 нам встретилось предложение:
You ought to be like my Uncle Ben.
Ought - единственная форма этого глагола. У него нет ни формы прошедшего времени, ни причастия настоящего времени. Перед ним не могут употребляться глаголы типа shall, have, be. Поэтому сочетания типа / shall ought; he has ought; I was ought НЕПРАВИЛЬНЫ.
Этот глагол имеет отрицательную форму ought not:1 You ought not to make that mistake, и вопросительную форму: ought I? ought you ? ought he ?
1 В разговорной речи часто употребляется oughtn't.

Вот несколько примеров его употребления:
