Gabrielle: I know, I've been
watching. I came to talk to you.
Mary Alice: Although she would need to be discrete.
Gabrielle: Keep working! What were you thinking, showing up at the
hospital?
John: I had to see if she was okay.
Gabrielle: You need
to keep a low profile right
now.
John: Look, you and I are finished. From now on, I'm sticking with Danielle.
Gabrielle: Why would you say that?
John: I hate myself for what we did! Okay? I can't sleep at night! I've got
to make a clean
break.
Gabrielle: We weren't driving the car. We didn't
chase Juanita into the street!
John: Well, she wouldn't have been there
if we weren't having an affair.
Gabrielle: Oh, for God's sakes, between you and Carlos! Listen to me
carefully, you didn't do anything wrong.
John: That's not what Father Crowley thinks.
Gabrielle:
What?
John: I went to confession.
Gabrielle: Have you lost your mind? What did you tell him?
John: Everything.
Gabrielle: Including in the alley? Behind the truck stop?
John:
Everything.
Gabrielle: Damn you!
Edie: Hello there!
Mr. Shaw: Good afternoon.
Edie: Ooh, well isn't this just as pretty as
a picture book!
Mr. Shaw: Well, the plan is to put in a small
condo.
Edie: You want to make some money, or you want to pussyfoot around?
Mr. Shaw: What do you
suggest?
Edie: I'm thinking strip
mall. I've run some numbers.
Mr. Shaw: Nice stationary.
Edie: Oh, it's stolen.
Mr. Shaw: What do you mean?
Edie: After
my house burned down, I was staying with this neighbor, Martha Huber. That is,
until the old troll threw me out. Anyway, I'd steal her stuff, she'd steal mine.
Circle of life.
Mr. Shaw: So this paper is hers?
Edie: Oh, God,
yes.
Mike: What?
Susan: I just came over to say I'm sorry, and I'll pay for
all the damage.
Mike: Don't worry about it.
Susan: Well, so, in your mind, is the date off?
Mike: Well, you
snooped around my house, and went
through my stuff. Uh, yeah, in my book, that's pretty much a deal breaker.
Susan: Hold on a minute, now. I started snooping around because I found all
that money by accident. And, and then, I found a gun. Are you a drug dealer or
something?
Mike: Is that what you think?
Susan: Well, I wouldn't
know because you never let me in. You know, there's this whole part of your life
that you keep completely walled
off.
Mike: I have a gun for protection, I keep cash for
emergencies. I'm a good guy, Susan, and you should know that. I'm, I'm not
obligated to share every little detail of my life with you.
Susan: Well,
every little detail is one thing. You know, weird creepy secrets, that's
another.
Mike: You know what, I don't want to be with someone who doesn't
trust me.
Susan: Well, maybe we shouldn't be dating.
Mike: Maybe
we shouldn't.
Susan: Do you mean that?
Mike: Yeah.
Susan:
Well, I hope that, your, you know, little secret keeps you warm at night because
you're throwing something really great away to protect it!
妙語佳句，活學活用
1. keep a low profile
所謂“做人要厚道，行事要低調(diào)”，keep a low profile 就是“Stay out
of public notice, avoid attracting attention to oneself.保持低調(diào)”。例如：
The government is trying to keep a low profile on this issue.
政府力圖在這個問題上保持低姿態(tài)。
Keep a low profile until the trouble over your activities is past.
在跟活動有關的麻煩事過去之前，你不要拋頭露面。
2. stick with
stick with 通常的意思是“堅持做……”，例如：
-Shall we change the plan? -No, we'll stick with the original one.'
-我們變動一下計劃好嗎? -不行, 我們要按原計劃行事。
Hang on, can we stick with that point
about cubism? 等一等，我們可以繼續(xù)談談關于立體主義的那個問題嗎？
而在這個片斷中，stick with 的意思是stay with， John的意思是“他將繼續(xù)和Danielle 談戀愛”。
John: Nobody's home.
