Hey, guys. My name is Sarah.
And today I'm going to teach you how I PSE signed
"Want You Gone" from the video game called Portal.
Let's start.
Remember that the screen might be flipped.
This is my right hand, and this is my left hand.
Learn the signs accordingly to what your dominant hand is.
I'm right handed, so whatever I sign on my right hand
Should be what you sign on your dominant hand.
It starts off with the first verse, which is
"Well here we are again."
So I said, "We--" and "We" is a "K" hand. Like, "you and me."
"We're here again."
"It's always such a pleasure--"
I just said, "It's always--" which is this (demonstrates)
"It's always nice to see you."
"Remember when you tried to kill me twice?"
I said, "Remember you tried--"
I've seen two versions of "Try."
An "A" hand like this
Or "T" hands.
I prefer "T" hands. There's no reason for it.
"To kill--"
And, "Kill--," The best way I can describe it is
Your finger is a knife and this is a body
And you're stabbing someone and twisting the knife in.
Not a nice description, but that's what the sign is trying to show.
"Kill me twice."
And the sign I've seen for "twice" is a "K" hand against a flat hand and up like this.
"Twice."
And since GLaDOS was talking about how this was something that happened in the past
I did the sign for "before"
So I said, "Remember you tried to kill me twice before."
"Oh, how we laughed and laughed--"
I said, "We laughed--" And I repeated the sign for "laugh" a lot.
"Laughed."
"Except--" I said, "But I was not laughing."
"Under the circumstances, I've been shockingly nice--"
I didn't directly translate this.
I did my own interpretation of it
Because I couldn't really figure out how to sign it correctly.
So I said, "I'm thinking about this."
I was trying to show that I'm thinking about it.
"Thinking about-- I'm thinking about this."
"I've been shockingly nice."
I said, "Why--" Which is--
I've seen two versions of "Why"
You could have it come off and close into a "Y" hand
Or you can have your middle finger going like this.
"Why have I been nice to you?
And since that is an extended answer question, I had my eyebrows furrowed.
So instead of "Under the circumstances, I've been shockingly nice,"
I said, "I'm thinking about this. Why am I nice to you?"
If you have another way you want to sign this, go right ahead.
"You want your freedom--" I said "You want to become--"
And "become" is like this.
"Free." And the sign I've seen for "Free" is two "F" hands crosing each other.
"Free." And since that is a yes or no question
Like, "Do you want to be free?"
I have my eyebrows raised
Because you have your eyebrows raised if it's a yes or no question
Meaning it can be answered with "yes" or "no"
And you have them furrowed when it's an extended answer question
"So you want your freedom--"
"Take it--" I said, "Go on."
Like, "You want to become free?"
"Go on."
I've seen this before.
For, like, "Go on," "Do it," "Whatever."
Um, so, "You want to become free? Go on."
"That's what I'm counting on--" I said, "That's what I want to happen."
"I used to want you dead--"
I said, "I wanted you dead--"
And "dead" is, like, (demonstrates)
It's supposed to convey rolling over and dying.
It's not nice, but that's what it's trying to convey.
"Dead before--"
So, "I wanted you dead in the past."
"But now--"
And by the way, "now" is closing into "Y" hands.
"Now I only--"
"Only," You start with a "D" hand like this
And turn it around like this.
"Only want you gone."
And then it moves on to the second verse, which is
"She--" so I said, "Girl" and I pointed over there, so, "The girl is over there."
"She was like you"
And "like" is a "Y" hand like this.
"Maybe not quite as heavy--"
I just said, "Fat"
And the sign I've seen for "fat" is (demonstrates)
Like that.
*inaudible*
"Quite as heavy,"
So I said, "Maybe not fat like you."
Okay...
"Now little--"
I don't think she meant "Little Caroline" is literally little, like she's an inch tall.
I figured "little Caroline" means "Young Caroline."
So I did the sign for "Young."
Which is this (Demonstrates)
It's this hand formation reaching up like this.
"Caroline." And I fingerspelled that.
"Is in here, too--" I just said, "Is here."
"Too."
"One day-- one day."
"They woke me up--"
So I said, "Wake-up me."
"So I could live forever."
I said, "So I can live--"
I did this.
This sign here.
"Live forever."
"It's such a shame the same will never happen to you--"
I said, "It's a shame the same thing will never happen to you."
And then it moves on to the next build-up, which is
"You have your short--" I said, "Little sad life--"
And the sign I did for "life--" You can either do this or this. The same goes for when you sign "live."
But I did this.
So, "Life."
"Leftover," I just (demonstrates) "That's it."
And then I said "That's what I want to happen."
You know, like "I want you to have you--"
You know, like I did before.
"I'll let you get right to it--"
I said, "I'll let--"
"Allow"
I don't really know how to describe that.
"I'll let you get right to it--" I said, "Start--"
Which is this hand formation with your finger here and twist it.
"I'll let you start fast."
"Now I only want you gone."
And then it moves on to the third verse, which is
"Goodbye--"
I said, "Good bye."
You can just say "Bye," or whatever.
I said, "Goodbye."
"My only friend."
"Oh, did you think I meant you?"
And since that is a "Yes or no" question
You have you eyebrows furrowed--
Eyebrows up, sorry.
"That would be funny if it weren't--" I said, "Not"
"So sad."
Uh, "You have been replaced."
"You have been replaced--"
It's an "F" hands changing places with the other one.
"You have this. Have this instead."
So, "Replace."
It replaces the position.
"Replace."
"I don't need--"
And "Need" is an "X" hand going down once.
If you do it twice, it means "Should."
Once is "need."
"Need any--"
And "Any" is an "A" hand like this.
"One--" So "Any one now."
"When--" And "When" is rotating around your finger and landing on it.
"When I delete--"
And "delete--" The sign I've seen for "delete" is your left hand is like this
And you have an "X" with your right hand and you flick it like this.
"When I delete you maybe--"
It's like weighing options.
"Maybe I'll stop feeling--"
And "feeling" is your middle finger dragging up your chest.
"Feeling so sad."
And then, because...
If you played the original video game, in the credits they have the lyrics to the song.
And when it came time that GLaDOS says, "when I delete you maybe I'll stop feeling so sad."
It said those lines were redacted.
It said those lines were redacted, so, like...
GLaDOS was pretending she never said it.
So she didn't mean to say it.
So I did this.
Like, "I shouldn't have said that."
Or... something... (laughs)
Then it's on to the third and final build-up/chorus.
And it's "Go make some new disaster."
I did the sign for "go on"
"Go on, make--" I said, "Cause--"
"Cause a new disaster."
"That's what I'm counting on--"
I said, "I don't care."
I know it's a different meaning--
So, "Go on and cause a new disaster, I don't care."
And "Don't care" is like this.
That's just what I chose to do.
"You're someone else's problem--"
Two bent "V" hands like this.
"Now I only want you gone."
And then a repeat of that.
And then that's the end of the song, so...
I hope you enjoyed
And I hope you learned something.
And I will see you again next time.
Bye!
(Peace)
