Man: stop *rubbing it in* .i miss my chance,ok?

4. woman :do you think Melgipson is a good doctor?

*parfinis* - ?
*gi* - get?
*rifys* - ?
*rubbing it in* - in this case, she is making fun of him, and he's telling her to stop mentioning his mistake, in a friendly way
*say* - for example
*work out of* - work at
*slaimi* - slimy, gooey, sticky, gross

The first three make no sense to me.

parfinis = puffiness

gi = either give or get

rifys = refills

<<4. woman :do you think Melgipson is a good doctor?

That would be Mel Gibson and Samuel L. Jackson, and it would be "actor" rather than "doctor".

i 've got another reply from another site.

<<Work from home - the man doesn't have an office, his home is his business address.>>

we can say that instead of *Work at home* ?
