| John: can be replaced with other actions, of course. Listen again- "Now, there will be smashes in volleyball" is... |

| John: Then comes the phrase - "Just bring it on!" |
| Anne: Kom bare an! |
| John: This phrase is often used toward an opponent or a challenging task to indicate that you're ready for it. Listen again- "Just bring it on" is... |
| Anne: (SLOW) Kom bare an! (REGULAR) Kom bare an! |
| John: All together, it's "It’s time to spike some volleyballs at the beach! Just bring it on!" |
| Anne: Så skal der smashes i beach volley! Kom bare an! |
