Could you please paraphrase the following:
"I gotta hand it to you, baby"
***** NOT A TEACHER *****
Tom: I'm going to the dance tomorrow with Mona.
Joe: No way! She wouldn't go with you.
George: She's the most beautiful girl at school. She could choose from a million guys.
Ralph: I would be afraid to ask her.
Tony: Yeah. She wouldn't want to go to the dance with an ugly guy like me.
Joe: Hey, Tom, you aren't the handsomest guy in the world, either. How did
you have the courage to ask her?
Tom: Well, first, I got a good night's sleep so that I wouldn't be too nervous.
Then I walked up to her, smiled, and asked "Would you like to go to the dance
with me tomorrow?" And she said yes.
Ralph: Wow, dude. We all have to hand it to you. ( = show respect for
what you have done).
