Have you ever seen the face

Asking if the listener has ever seen a particular face.

You know the one I'm talking about

Referring to a specific face that has been mentioned before.

Have you ever been to that place

Inquiring if the listener has been to a certain place.

You know I'm not supposed to say

Hinting at a secretive nature by stating that something should not be disclosed.


Have you ever seen the face

Repeating the question about seeing a particular face.

You know the one I'm talking about

Reiterating the reference to a specific face.

Have you ever been to that place

Repeating the question about visiting a certain place.

You know the one I'm not supposed to say

It's not me I am pretending

I'm not saved he turned me down
