A very funny fragment from a TV humour series.

Every time the black boy asks for her telephone number, put your hand up.

Pay attention to the construction we use when we want to ask for something: CAN I HAVE...?

You will also find some more things you can possibly understand here, underlined (what's your name?, thank you, etc.)

He speaks non-standard black English, so some things are not "correct".
