Hi guys, can you demystify this for me .. or suggest any ways to get my head around whats being said. Of course I know the translation from the transcript but its just not coming together for me. The sentence is:

"zai na dian canjinzhi guo lai"

I look that that and all I can see is..

"then/here little napkin over (come?)"

Would it be correct to also say (and excuse my appaling pin ying)

Qing gei wo yi xia canjinzhi

I realise Im just thinking in English and doing a direct translation. I know that often cant be done but I just cant make any headway trying to get the sense/feel of the "zai na dian canjinzhi guo lai" construction.
