Meaning of 'Get to Basically, ...Walk Smack into ..., and Sounds about right' #1 (permalink) Tue Nov 04, 2008 19:00 pm   Meaning of 'Get to Basically, ...Walk Smack into ..., and Sounds about right'
 

Part of dialogue in Prison Break Season 4 Episode 9 'Greatness Achieved'

While they're in the tunnel, finding the pathway to the Company's headquarter.

SUCRE: But if we're lucky, we get to basically just walk smack into the Company?

MICHAEL: Sounds about right. You're up for it?

SUCRE: Oh, yeah, after you.

There are 3 phrases, which I'm not so sure about the meaning, i.e.,

1. Get to basically

2. Walk smack into .....

3. Sounds about right


I hope someone would enlighten me, please.

Thanks.

1. We get to = We'll be able to

2. Basically = practically, almost

3. Walk smack into = Walk straight/directly into

4. Sounds about right = That's about it/You're more or less right
