…是他沉迷毒品 及幻想死亡时写的一首诗 A poem he wrote while he was strung out on coke and obsessed with death.
“乌鸦”听起来像支足球队
The Raven is like the football team.
有个队老幻想死 他们总是输 There's a team obsessed with death, always get they ass kick.
(Laughter)
巴尔的摩乌鸦是唯一 以名诗命名的足球队 Baltimore Ravens: only pro football team to be named after a classic poem.
有人读过吗? Anyone read it?
一个沉闷午夜 "Once upon a midnight dreary
我沉思着,又累又弱… "while I pondered weak and weary..."
贾默,读过吗? Jamal, how about it?
我从未读过 Nah, I never read it.
(Bell rings)
好吧,下周要交论文啊 OK, I need those essays by next Tuesday.
伙计,我爸见过窗户人 My dad saw the Window, man. About 20 years ago.
大概20年前
他就像我们 自然书里的鬼魂一样 Standing there like a ghost, like the ones that be in our science books.
-就跟那一样 -那它就是白色的咯? - Just like that, man. - So he was white?
废话,牛奶能不是白色吗? - Ain't milk white? - Ever seen a ghost that wasn't white?
-见过不是白色的鬼吗? -开玩笑
Yo, man. I'm just playing, man.
我听说他杀了人 所以才留在房间里
But I heard he killed somebody. That's why he has to stay inside and all.
得杀了好多人才留那儿吧 You got to kill an army to hide around here.
-没错 -你们玩笑开大了 Y'all play too much. Remember Shurrita? The one who lived below the Window?
记得舒莉达吗?
她以前住在窗户人下面吗?
她一晚打电话给我烦我 烦我啊 She calls me up this one night, buggin', dog.
说她听见哒哒的脚步声 Talkin' bout she heard this tapping sound coming from upstairs by the Window's place.
哒… Tap... tap... tap.
…哒…
…哒
打着打着电话,她开始尖叫 Yo, while she was on the phone, man, she started screaming, dog,
因为脚步声慢慢下楼了 'cause now the tapping that made its way down the stairs somehow...
哒… - Tap... tap.. tap. - Listen, fool.
-…哒,哒 -听他说
然后就到了她门的另一边 And now it was on the other side of her door, dog.
她听得出他敲着一把刀 She could tell it was some kind of knife he was tapping with.
她来不及挂线,电话就断线了 And before she could hang up, the phone disconnected.
-那是我们最好一次见她 -就是对面街的舒莉达? That was the last time we seen Shurrita.
- Shurrita who lived across the street? - Oh !
少来了,伙计 那女孩是个疯
- You know that girl's a crack ho. - No, she was all right.
不,不她人挺好的
听着,窗户人真的不好惹 Listen, all I know is that the Window's bad news, man.
规矩是如果外出就远离他的 Rules was, if you wanted to go outside, you stay away from the Window's place.
-不,是远离你的大话 -贾,你相信我,对不? We need to stay away from your lying ass!
J, you believe me, right? You feel me?
你满嘴废话 You full of shit, dog.
妈的 Damn.
那我猜,你就敢上去咯? So let me guess. So, you'd go up in there, right?

我们本周拿到了 贾默的评估成绩 So we got Jamal's test scores back.
-评估成绩? -评估测验 - Test scores? - Assessment tests.
是国家教育部要求的 The state education department requires all the kids to take them.
他没告诉你吗? He didn't tell you, did he?
沃勒斯太太,贾默的 平时成绩就C的水平 Mrs Wallace, Jamal maintains a C average,
这意味着他的成绩很一般 which means he does enough to get by and just enough not to stand out.
但贾默的评估成绩很不一般 Now, what makes Jamal's case unusual are his test results.
哦,我的天 Oh, my God.
我看见他老是读很多书 I see him reading all these books all the time. Books I never read.
我没读过的书 有些根本没听说过
Some I've never even heard of. And he's always writing in his notebooks.
而且他总是 在笔记本上写东西
自从他父亲离开后 Ever since his father left. But that's what I see.
但那是我自己观察到的
他从来只谈篮球 All he ever talks about is basketball.
篮球是他能得到认同的东西 Basketball is where he gets his acceptance.
其他学生不会 在乎他写了什么 The kids here don't care about what he can put down on paper.
走吧!到黄线之间!走吧! (Referee) Let's go ! Between the yellow lines! Let's go !

Aight? Yanks and Sox tickets damn near been sold out almost a month.
杨基对红袜的票 一个月前就卖光了

顺便一句,你去叫那家伙… By the way, go tell Camry boy there to back up his cheap-ass bumper
…他得移开他的便宜货…

去搞掂它,去吧,费莱!去吧!
怎么了,贾默?妈打电话来了 What up, Jamal? Moms called.
跟我说了评估的事 那怎么回事? - Told me about the tests. What's up? - Nothing, man.
-没什么 -什么没什么?
"Nothing"? This getting in the way of your plans or something?
这是你计划的一部分吗?
记住它本来是你的计划 Remember, it was your plan first, T.
对,没错 大学篮球队什么的 Yeah, I know, a little college ball,
然后就开始开支票 解决其他人的难题 then start signing cheques for everybody, solving everybody else's problems.

你肯定他睡了? Yo, you sure he asleep?
那老头子都快一千岁了 他们成天就睡 Them Methuselahs, like, a thousand years old. That's all they ever do.
贾.说实话,我不太确定 这是个好主意 Yo, J, man. For the real, son, I don't know about this.

-你看见他了吗? -没看多久
Not for long.
贾默,别在家里打球好吗? Jamal, would you stop bouncing that damn ball in the house?
地板上的灰尘都写着 迈可尔.乔丹的名字 I got Michael Jordan's name written in dirt all over my floor.
放心,我会扫的 Don't worry, Ma, I'll clean it.
我想迈可尔.乔丹 去扫的可能性更大 I got a better chance of Michael Jordan cleaning it.
如果你想洗澡 热水几分钟后就好了 Hey, if you're thinking of a shower, the hot water's taking a few minutes.
-我不想洗 -嘿!你的背包呢? - I wasn't thinking about it. - Hey, hey! Where's your pack?
-我不知道 -不知道? - I don't know. - "Don't know"?
你啥意思,不知道? What do you mean, you "don't know"?
我们要你带东西出来 不是留下东西 We wanted you to bring something, not leave something.
别说这了,伙计 - Why don't you leave this one alone? - What was in your bag anyway?
你包里到底有啥?
我不想说那包 I'm not talking about the damn bag.
那就不说咯 I bet you ain't, man.
让我教你 看着我的眼睛 Let me teach you something. Watch the eyes.
也许他现在就在看着你 He's probably watching you right now.
停,停 看见了吗? Stop !
你不懂那个,伙计 You oughta know about that, man. Here, show us how you do it.
这样做才对
(Car alarm beeps)
我不会对你的车干啥的 - I'm not gonna do anything to your car. - I'm sorry?
什么?
你看起来很担心 好像我要干嘛似的 You got some worried look, like I'm about to do something to your car.
不,我去到哪儿 都担心这车,不只在这儿 I worry about this car everywhere, not just here,
so don't take it personally.
-别介意 -只是辆车而已
- It's just a car, man. - No, it's not "just a car". It's a BMW.
不,这不是普通的车 这是宝马
那些稍微知道该公司的人… Anybody who knows anything about that company
..会知道这不是普通的车 knows that it's more than "just a car".
Oh, anybody who knows anything about that company?
哦,那些人,就说我 就不会知道了,对吧?
- So I wouldn't know anything like that. - No, that's not what I meant.
我不是这意思
就我所知宝马… Last thing I knew about BMW
…他们开始是做飞机引擎的 was they used to make plane engines when they first started.
Guy by the name of Franz Popp started it all.
一个叫芬兹.泡谱的 人开始做的
芬兹.泡谱,我喜欢这名字 Franz Popp. I like that name.
在1920年前造了一个引擎 Made this one engine before 1920. It flew six miles up.
飞到6英里高
当时泡谱跟他的伙伴 只是刚刚起步 Popp and his boys were just getting started, man.
造了另一个引擎 801号,在二战时… They made this one engine, the 801, World War II,
…14汽缸的 2300马力,飞76英里高 14 cylinders, 2,300 horsepower, seven miles up.
有多点时间的话 也许能炸掉英国… With more time, they'd have bombed the shit out of England,
…或许赢掉整场战争 maybe even won the war.
那就是这标志的由来 That's where this comes from.
白色螺旋推进器周围是蓝天 White propeller zipping around a blue sky.
二战过后 他们不能再造引擎了 After the war, we told them they couldn't make plane engines.
那时宝马就开始 认真考虑制造车 That's when BMW gave some serious thought to making cars.
有点像这台 Kind of like this one.
但也许那些你都知道 既然你已经租了一台 But you probably knew all that, being as you lease one.
谢谢你的历史课 Thanks for the history lesson.
No problem, man.
不用谢,伙计
(Alarm beeps)
乱搞我的东西 Messin' with my stuff, man.
嘿… Um... The other night was...
那天晚上只是…
只是我跟朋友打赌闹着玩的 It was just this dare thing me and my boys do.
Um...
我想我能不能 再给你一些我写的… I was wondering maybe I could bring you more of my stuff,
…也许我可以写点别的 or maybe I could write something else.
写5000字关于你为何 要滚开我的家怎样?! How about 5,000 words on why you'll stay the fuck out of my home?
(Female neighbour moaning)
(Moaning crescendos)
来吧,伙计,我知道你在的 (Mutters) Come on, man. I know you're in there.
别用你天杀的手碰我的门! Take your goddamn hand off my door!
Um... I just came to...
我只是送来你叫我写的东西
to drop off that thing you asked me for.
啥东西? What thing?
你要我写的5000字关于 你为何要我滚开你的家 The 5,000 words on why you wanted me to stay out of your place.
你好像就这么说的 At least that's kind of the way you said it.
那就记住我的原话 (Forrester) Well, try remembering it exactly as I said it!
(Choir sings spiritual)
进来吧,贾默 - (Dr Simon) Come on in, Jamal. - (Mrs Wallace) Hi, honey.
嗨,亲爱的
没事的 It's OK.
坐下 (Dr Simon) Sit down.
沃勒斯太太,贾默,我们得到 你最近的评估成绩时… Mrs Wallace, Jamal, when we got your recent test scores,
…我们想也许会 有私立学校感兴趣 we figured there might be some interest from the private schools.
看来我们猜对了 Well, it turns out we were right.
布德利先生 - Mr Bradley. - Jamal, Mrs Wallace...
贾默,沃勒斯太太 我是大卫.布德利
My name's David Bradley. I'm with the Mailor School in Manhattan.
我来自曼哈顿的梅勒学校
-梅勒?梅勒-卡洛吗? -没错,你听说过我们? - Mailor...? Mailor-Callow? - That's right.
- Are you familiar with us? - Yeah.
是的
贾默,梅勒-卡洛不仅是 市内最好的预科学校 Jamal, Mailor-Callow is not only the best prep school in the city,
…而且是东岸 最好的学校之一 it's one of the finest private schools on the East Coast.
只有精英才可以去 Only the best go there.
你也许知道我们 还有几周就开心了… As you might imagine, we're a few weeks into our fall term,
…但每年我们 都在评估成绩出来前 but every year we hold some openings while we wait for the test scores to come in.
…预留一些学位
贾默,你的评估成绩… Jamal, your test scores, to put it mildly, caught our attention.
…保守地说 引起了我们的注意
我是来看你是否 感兴趣进入我们学校 I'm here to see if you'd be interested in attending our school.
贾默,去另外一间学校… Jamal...
We know leaving for another school, especially a private one, won't be easy.
…特别是私立 学校是不轻松的
但这儿不再 是适合你的地方 But this isn't the right place for you anymore.
贾默,这不是困难的选择 Jamal, it's not a difficult choice.
布德利先生… Mr Bradley, um... there is no way we could pay for this.
…我们不可能付得起学费
我们不会让你们付学费的 We're not asking you to.
当西门博士说 “只有精英才能去梅勒”… Jamal, when Dr Simon mentioned only the best go to Mailor,
…他忘了提及… he neglected to mention that
…我们的精英不只在课堂内 our commitment to excellence extends beyond the classroom.
我想也是如此 - I figured that. - We thought you might.
我们也认为你会这样想的
沃勒斯太太,我们有约40名 学生去了打大学篮球赛 Mrs Wallace, about 40 of our students have gone on to play college ball.
3人打到了职业赛 Three have made it to the professional level.
我们评估了你去年的球赛表 We took the liberty of evaluating your play last year,
虽然这是一个学术的提议… and while this would be strictly an academic offer,
…但如果你选择打球 我们也不会失望 we won't be disappointed if you choose to play.
我们只想你抽时间去 我校看看,考虑一下 All we ask is you come out for a couple of days, take a look,
think it over.
-好的 -沃勒斯太太 - OK. - Mrs Wallace.
-谢谢你 -贾默 - Thank you. - Jamal.
再见 - (Mrs Wallace) Goodbye. - (Bradley) We'll be in touch.
我们保持联系
(Hears choir singing spiritual in his head)
(Bolt clicks)
-这次我没敲门了 -你跟谁说话呢? (Jamal) I didn't knock this time, man.
(Forrester) To whom were you speaking?
我拿到我的文章就告诉你 I'll tell you that when I get my 5,000 words back.
(Several bolts, latches and locks opened)
关上门… Bolt the door if you're coming in.
…如果你要进来
那个开车来的人? The man in the car?
(Jamal) Um...
他来自一间私立学校 He was from this private school.
他们想让我去 He wants me to go there.
我们还不用交学费 We don't have to pay anything, though.
我们住在这附近,我跟我妈 We live a couple of blocks from here, me and my mom.
我哥哥几年前也住那儿… Well... my brother was there a couple of years ago,
but he left after my dad left.
…但我爸走后他也走了
我妈不想再等我爸改过自新 My mom got tired of waiting for my dad to get himself clean.
而我爸不想再尝试 And my dad got tired of trying.
我就在那时开始写作 That's when I started writing.
你叫什么名字? What's your name?
贾默.沃勒斯 Jamal Wallace.
听起来像果酱的名字 Sounds like some kind of marmalade.
How old are you?
你多大了?
16岁 I'm 16.
16岁! Sixteen?
而且你是黑人! And you're black.
-太难得了-难得?什么难得? It's remarkable.
"Remarkable"? What...?
就因为我是黑人而难得吗? It's remarkable that I'm black?
这跟我是黑人有啥关系? What has me being black got to do with anything, man?
你现在不知所措,是吗? You don't know what to do right now, do you?
如果你说出真正想说的话… If you tell me what you really want to tell me,
…我也许就 不再读这些东西了 I might not read any more of this.
但如果你让我跟你说 这些种族主义的废话… But if you let me run you down with this racist bullshit,
…那你又成什么了? what does that make... you?
我不玩这游戏了 - I'm not playing this game, man. - Oh, I say you are playing it.
哦,我说你已经在玩了
一个表情就表达了千言万语 An expression is worth a thousand words.
但也许现在的你只表达了两
Perhaps in your case, just two.
拿着 Here.
真是个混蛋 (Mutters) Dumb-ass old man.
(Door slams)
(Sighs heavily)
一手施予,一手给予 我们一起用餐的同时… "One hand to give, one hand to receive, as we eat together in unity.
…愿我们的心灵 肉体和精神更强壮… "May our minds, bodies, and spirits grow strong.
…并恭喜贾默 "And congratulations to Jamal. Amen."

去年球队的毕业率不太好 Graduation was a little rough on last year's team, that's all.
但这就像大学的情形,对吗? But it's just like college, right?
你获得教育 他们获得他们所要的 You get an education and they get what they want.
也许你们双方都各取所需 - Or maybe you both get what you want. - Yeah, maybe.
是的,也许
Well, it was very nice meeting you, Jamal.
认识你非常高兴,贾默
You, too, Claire. You gonna be around tomorrow?
我也有同感,克莉 你明天会在吗?
不会跟你一起… Not where you'll be, but you might find me for lunch.
…但你也许能在 午餐时找到我
(Jamal) Phew!
我没有说那两个字 - I didn't say those two words yesterday. - Why didn't you?
为什么没有?
因为我想你 批改更多我的文章 'Cause I want you to read some more of my stuff.
你知道,外面的人经常谈论你 You know they talk a lot about you out there, right?
那些“传奇”废话 All this "legend" bullshit.
他们的故事真的挺多的 They got some stories, though. People wonder if you killed somebody.
人们想你是否杀了人
还有你为什么 在这儿呆了那么久 That, and wondering why you been in here so long.
我倒挺喜欢这儿 挺安静的 I wouldn't move. I'd stay for the quiet. You don't hear nothing in here.
这里啥杂音都听不见
我们的家有个吵闹的邻居 Our place got these noisy neighbours.
那孩子老是在叫因为他才1岁 Their kid's always yelling 'cause he's only a year old,
那爸爸在叫因为孩子在吵 or Pops is yelling cos the kid's making noise.
然后那妈妈在叫… And, then, Moms, on top of that, is yelling. But, then, that's a different kind of yelling.
但那是另一种叫声…
…那是因为 那老头子在干她… 'Cause that's when the old man's playing the tunes for her
…干得她的头老在墙上撞 and she got her head banging up against the wall.
她会尖叫着像… She be screaming, like..."Oh !"
-然后她… -你最好把汤搅拌一下 You'd better stir that soup.
什么? - What? - Stir the soup before it firms up.
把汤搅拌一下以防它起泡
为啥我们家的汤总不起泡? How come ours never gets anything on it?
来吧,来吧靠近点 Come on, come on. Closer.
Closer... Now.
马上
-你看见有人在那样尖叫了? -我看到的是一个成年雄 You got somebody doing that kind of yelling?
What I have here is an adult male. Quite pretty.
…挺漂亮的…
…也许从公园飞了过来 Probably strayed from the park.
一只康州鸣鸟 A Connecticut warbler.
你去过外面干这些吗? You ever go outside to do any of this?
你应该回到汤的问题 You should've stayed with the soup question.
问题的目的就是 取得对我们有意义… The object of a question is to obtain information that matters to us
…而非对其他人 有意义的信息 and to no one else.
你刚才问为什么 你的汤不起泡? You were wondering why your soup doesn't firm up?
也许因为你母亲 小时候的家里… Probably because your mother was brought up in a house
…从未想到过 把牛奶浪费在汤里 that never thought about wasting milk in soup.
那才是好的问题 Now, that question was a good one.
相比“你出去过吗?” In contrast to, do I ever go outside?
这问题达不到 获得对你而言… Which fails to meet the basic criteria of obtaining information that matters to you.
…有意义的 信息的基本标准
好吧 All right, man. I guess I don't have any more soup questions.
我想我没有汤的问题了
没有? No?
你为什么说我是黑人那些话? Why'd you say all that stuff before about me being black?
这跟我是黑人没有关系 It had nothing to do with you being black.
这跟我找出你能 忍受多少废话有关系 It had everything to do with me finding out
just how much bullshit you'd put up with.
你知道我会回来 - So you knew I'd come back? - Yes.
没错,就像我知道 你会去新的学校
Just like I know you'll go to this new school.
你怎么知道? How do you know that?
因为在你的文章 中有个问题… Because there's a question in your writing about what you wish to do with your life.
…暗示你对自己的 将来的想法
而这是你现在的学校 所不能回答的 That is a question your present school cannot answer for you.

-你说你知道我会回来 -对,但我以为你是指一次 - You said you knew I'd be coming back. - Yes, but I thought you meant once.

我不用再听别人 告诉我他们的想法 The last thing I need is another person telling me what they think it is.
我没要那样说 I wasn't going to say that.
那你要说什么? What were you going to say? I should tell you everything about me?
我该告诉你我的一切?
我跟你说了我的事 I told you about me.

我穿过你了,伙计 I got by you, man.
你比我大个呀 You're bigger than I am.
但你还是得防守 It doesn't matter. You still gotta play defence.
我怎么防守? How do I do that?
你怎么…? 我在这儿示范给你看 How do you play defence? I'll show you one way, here.
转身 Turn around.
转身
感觉到了吗? Feel that?
我感觉到了 I feel it.
我知道你会去哪儿 因为我感觉到了 Now, see... I know where you're gonna go, 'cause I can feel where you're gonna move.
好的,现在试试往左移 All right, now try and move left.
我还在,你不能走动 因为我感觉到了你往左 See, you can't get around me. I feel you moving left.
试试往右 Try and go right.
瞧,我还在这儿 See? I'm still here.
我感觉到了你要往右 因此你也走不了 I feel when you try and go right, so you can't go there neither.
你现在试试穿过我 Now try and get by me.
等等 Hold on.
你得先运球 You gotta dribble first.
运球 Dribble. OK. Like.
运球,好的,这样吗?
没错 - Like this? - Yeah !
-抱歉 -克莉 - Sorry. - Claire.
爸爸 Daddy?
我们有些客人要走了 Some of our guests are leaving.
咱们周一见,好吗? I'll see you on Monday, OK?
哦,克莉 Oh, Claire?
什么事? Yeah?
是斯丹福 It was Stamford.
什么? Excuse me?
在伦敦的酒吧里 At the bar in London.
是他把沃斯顿介绍给赫姆的 He's the one who introduced Watson to Holmes.
这也许为你节省了一点时间 Might actually save you some time after everybody's done in there.
你知道我用多久写这个吗? You know how long I've been working on that, man?
不是一个“信念的完美季节” It ain't one season of faith's perfection. Feels like I worked on it for two or three.
感觉像写了2,3个季节
哦,你在那种 听不见我说话的状态 Oh, you're in that place where you can't even hear me, huh.
比如我可以问 你为何从不出去… I could ask why you never moved out of this neighbourhood, and you wouldn't...
-…你也不会生气… -第三段的开头…
Paragraph three starts with a conjunction : "and".
…是个连词,“而且”
不要用连词开句 You should never start a sentence with a conjunction.
-当然可以 -哦,不行 - Sure you can. - No.
这是个定律 It's a firm rule.
不,不,不… No. See...
…这曾经是个定律 it was a firm rule. Sometimes if you use a basic conjunction at the start of a sentence,
如果句子开头用连词…
…可以起到强调作用 it can make it stand out. And that may be what the writer's trying to do.
而且那就是作者的意图
那风险是什么? And what is the risk?
风险是过分强调 The risk is doing it too much.
就成了分心物 让文章有一口气不停的感觉 It's a distraction and it could give your piece a run-on feeling.
但大多数情况下 开句“而且”… But the rule on using "and" or "but" at the start of a sentence is pretty shaky.
…或“但是”的规则 还是不确定的
虽然很多学校的 很多老师是这样教的 Even though it's still taught in too many schools, by too many professors.
有些伟大的作家长期 忽视了这个规则 Some of the best writers have ignored that rule for years, including you.
…包括你在内
好啊,你把… Well, you've taken something which was mine
…我的一些东西…
…变成你的了 and made it yours. That's quite an accomplishment.
这真是个成就
谢谢 Thank you.
题目还是我的,不是吗? The title is still mine, isn't it?
是吧 - I guess. - Well.
是周围的环境变了,不是我
It was the neighbourhood that changed, not me.
我没看见啥 Oh, please... I ain't seen nothin' changed.
你“没看见啥”? You "ain't seen nothin"'? What in the hell kind of sentence is that?
这是什么鬼句子?啊?
你在这儿时,不要用 你在外面的方式说话 When you're in here, don't talk like you do out there.
我给你开玩笑而已 I was messin' with you, man. It was a joke.
我想听听那时的周围… Go ahead. I wanna hear about the neighbourhood,
…回去人们还读你的书 back when people were still reading your book.
(Coughs)
你说什么? What did you say?
没什么 - Nothing. - No...
你说“回去人们还读你的书” You said, "Back when people were still reading my book".
不是吗? Didn't you?
我们有24本 We have 24 copies, but I'm sorry, they're checked out.
但很抱歉,都被借出了
哦,还是谢谢你 Oh... Well...
Thank you anyway.
不用谢
(Door slams)
借到了吗? Any luck?
你有登记名字等候吗? Did you get on the waiting list?
是的,伙计 你的书都被借走了 Hey, man, your book was checked out.
还有,没错… And, yes, I did pay for dinner.
…我买了晚餐
花了13美元 我想我的意思很清楚了 It cost me $13, so I guess you made your point.
我打电话想问你要吃什么 但没人接 I tried to call to see what food you wanted, but the phone kept ringing.
我20年前把电话铃拆了 I took the bell out 20 years ago.
我想问问你… Let me ask you something.
像你这样的人… How come a guy like you...
…会浪费时间读 (揭密大搜查)? ...wastes his time reading "National Enquirer"?
这又怎么了? What's wrong with it?
I mean...
它是垃圾啊,伙计
It's trash, man.
你应该读(时代周刊)之类的 You should be reading, like, "The Times" or something.
我晚餐时读(时代周刊) I read "The Times" for dinner,
但这个… but this...
这是我的甜品 this is my dessert.
学校有个写作比赛 They got some contest at school. This writing thing.
-你参加过吗? -写作比赛? - You ever enter one of those? - A writing contest?
-对 -一次 - Yeah. - Once.
好久以前 - A long time ago. - Did you win?
你赢了吗?
我当然赢了 Well, of course I won.
有奖金什么的? Like money or something?
是普立兹文学奖 The Pulitzer.
喔 Oh.
学生必须 在所有人面前读文章 Well, they make all the students read in front of everyone.
那跟写作有啥关系? What the hell's that got to do with writing?
作家们写作那读者们才能读 Writers write so that readers can read. Let someone else read it.
让别人去读吧
你读过自己的书吗? You ever read your own book?
在公开场合?绝对没有 In public? Hell, no.
私底下也极少 I barely read it in private.
你知道那些事 什么鬼咖啡厅读书会? You know those things they do, that coffee-shop reading shit?
你知道人们为啥干这个吗? Do you know why they do it?
卖书吧,我想 To sell books, I guess.
因为他们想上床 'Cause they want to get laid.
真的?如果你写了 一本书女人就会跟你上床 Really? Women will sleep with you if you write a book?
即使写了本烂书女人 也会跟你上床 Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book.
-你试过吗? -当然 - Did it ever happen to you? - Sure.
你结过婚吗? Did you ever get married?
这不是一个“汤”问题是吗? Not exactly a soup question, is it?
不,我从未结婚 No, I never did.
但长久以来我学会了几点… But I learned a few things along the way,
…也许会对你常说的 那个女孩子有帮助 which might be of help with this young lady you're always talking about.
比如什么? Like what?
赢取女人的心的关键… The key to a woman's heart
…是在意外时间的 意外礼物 is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.
你在跟我关于女人的建议? You're giving me advice on women?
意外的礼物,意外的时间 Unexpected gift, unexpected time.
这太意外了! This is so unexpected.
这太意外了!
哦,贾默 Oh, Jamal.
不是第一版什么的,但是… It's not a first printing or anything.
哦,天啊 Oh, my gosh.
-什么? -有作者的签名 - What happened? - This is a signed copy.
我不能要 这肯定很贵 I can't accept this. It must've cost a fortune.
没有那么贵,真的 It didn't cost that much, really.
也许书店漏看了吧 Maybe the bookstore missed it.
书店从来不漏看这样的东西 Bookstores don't usually miss this stuff.
你怎么来了梅勒读的? (Jamal) So how'd you end up going to Mailor?
梅勒原来是男校 (Claire) Mailor was originally an all-boys' school,
于是我父亲做了任何 在他位置的人会做的事 so my father did what anyone in his position would do.
他进入校董会,改变了规定 He got on the board and changed the rules.
所有学生都知道这 And every kid there knows it.
换了他们也会这样做的 They'd have done it anyway.
这没有改变什么 That doesn't change anything. I'm still Dr Spence's daughter.
我还是“斯奔丝博士的女儿”
贾默 - Jamal... - Yeah?
嗯?
那晚在我家,球赛之后… That night at my home, after the game,
…你跟我示范打篮球时 when you were showing me how to play basketball...
你还有别的意思吗? ...was that all you were showing me?
听我说,我认为这不可能 Listen, I don't think that's going to work?
什么? What?
那
That.
为什么? Why not?
问你父亲吧 Ask your father.
贾默,我不是问你要婚前协议 Jamal... I'm not asking for some kind of prenuptial agreement here.
这只是个问题 It's just a question.
为什么你对一切 都得如此黑白分明? Why does everything have to be so black and white with you?
我忘了问题是什么了
I forgot what the question was.
你什么都不会忘记 “斯丹福”先生 You don't forget anything, Mr Stamford.
(Crowd roars)
你认为不是他写的 (Man) You don't think he wrote it? That's a serious accusation, Robert.
这是很严重的指控,罗勃
你把这个提到校董会 You come to the faculty board with something like this.
我知道这很严重 I'm aware of how serious it is.
这是非凡的作品 It's remarkable work.
你认得出什么? You recognise any of it?
有点熟悉 It smacks of something.
但我不知道 But I don't know.
那孩子在我的课上表现很好 The boy does well in my class. He had good scores coming in.
他一直成绩优良
也许他需要的只是指导 Maybe all he needed was some direction.
科尔,他是个篮球员… Carl, he's a basketball player from the Bronx.
…来自布朗克斯
他刚刚连赢了了17场… Who just happens to have won 17 straight for a school that likes winning.
…在一间喜欢赢的学校
罗勃,你考虑过 也许他真的那么好? Robert, have you considered that he might just be that good?
不可能这么好 Not this good.
(Indistinct audio on TV)
你真的最美好的时刻 是什么吗? Do you know what the absolute best moment is?
是你完成了初稿… It's when you've finished your first draft and you read it by yourself.
…自己读的时候
在这些混蛋把一些… Before these arseholes take something that they couldn't do in a lifetime
…他们一世都 做不出的东西…
…武断地诋毁 and tear it down in a single day.
人们都爱那本书 People love that book, man.
我不是为他们而写的 I didn't write it for them.
当评论者开始谈论… And when the critics started all this bullshit
…我真正想说的是 什么那样的废话时
about what it was I was really trying to say...
我就决定… ...well, I decided then, one book was enough.

我在年鉴那儿查的 I looked it up in the almanac.
他们还没把 你放在死人那一栏 They don't even have you in the dead-people section yet.
我想你看过这么多比赛… I figure with all the games you watched
…无论跟谁看 你从未站得这么近 with whoever you watched them with,
you probably never got down this close.
-他们在干嘛? -你担心个啥 What the hell are they doing on the dirt?
What you worried about, man?
好像他们要 在这儿打世界杯似的 You acting like they're going to play a World Series championship game or something.
放轻松 Relax.
我和我哥哥 我们以前每场比赛都来看 My brother and I, we were here for every game.
(Helicopter flies overhead)
直到他去打仗 Till he left for the war.
我想他回来后还是一样… I thought it'd be the same when he came back, but, er...
…但他说的少了… ...he talked a little less and drank a little more.
…喝的多了
我承诺我面母亲 我会帮他戒酒 I promised my mother I would help him get through it all.
于是一晚我在他那儿… So, I caught up with him this one night and, er...
…我已经喝了好几杯了 ...I was already half a dozen drinks behind.
我们又喝了一些 So we had a few more,
过了一会他说他想… and after a while, he tells me he wants to...
…开车送我回家 ...drive me back to the apartment.
我说“不用了,谢谢” I said, "No, thanks".
我们都在那儿住 We were all still living there then.
我只是站那儿… I just stood there and...
…看着他开走 ...watched him drive off.
整场战争都熬过来了… He makes it through the whole goddamn war and I let him drive.

她告诉我 我的书对她多重要 She tells me how much my book meant to her.
我哥哥在隔壁房间快死了… My brother is getting cold in the next room...
…她谈的却只是一本书 ...and all she can talk about is a book.
所以… Well...
…从那以后一切都变了 Everything changed from then on.
5个月内,我埋葬了他 我母亲,我父亲 Within five months, I buried him, my ma, my father.

我们在球场度过夏天 We'd spend our summers here.
如果我们幸运,秋天也是 And if we were lucky, the fall.
那些队秋天也很多比赛 A lot of falls with those teams.
是的,但… Yeah, well...
…不够多 ...not enough.
那些比我们先逝者… "The rest of those who have gone before us
….不能安抚那些后逝者… "cannot steady the unrest of those to follow."
…的不安
是你在你的书中写的 You wrote that in your book.
贾默,我了解如果 我给你足够的时间… Jamal.
I realise that if I give you enough time, you'll find a way
…你会令我也惊奇
to amaze even me.
他知道吗? Does he know?
他不知道 No, he doesn't know.
这是我很久以来度过 最美好的夜晚 This was one of the best evenings I've had in quite some time.
在所有夜晚之中? All of it?
是的,在所有夜晚中 Yes.

我… Well, I.
这家伙 This guy.

看起来像个奇怪的人 Seemed like a different kind of dude, man.

我有时早上来这儿 I sometimes come here in the morning.
就我,将来的作家… Just me, the aspiring, and all of them.
…和他们全部
有个纸条让我来见你 There was a note downstairs said I should come and see you.
沃勒斯先生… Mr Wallace...
…我想你我该非常诚恳… I think it's time you and I had an honest and open discussion about your writing.
…和开放地讨论你的文章
我以为你喜欢它们 I thought you liked it.
你最近的文章? Your recent work?
我非常喜欢 I liked it very much.
不,关于你最近文章的问 No, Mr Wallace, the question concerning your most recent work
…不是它们是否好 isn't whether it's good, it's whether it's too good.
而是是否太好了
你从以前的学校到… The acceleration in your progress from your old school to this one is unusual,
这里的进步速度是不寻常的
以致我得作出两种结论 to the point that I'm faced with drawing one of two conclusions.
要不是你罕见的 天才突然出现… Either you've been blessed with an uncommon gift
that has suddenly decided to kick in...
…否则就是… ...or...
…你的灵感来自别处 ...you're getting your inspiration from elsewhere.
考虑到你之前的 教育和你的背景… Given your previous education and your background,
…我相信你会原谅 我作出我的结论 I'm sure you'll forgive me for coming to some of my own conclusions.
论文是我写的 I wrote those papers, man.
那你就不会介意向我证明 Then you won't mind showing me.
下一份作业2周后要交 The next assignment's due in two weeks.
我会安排你去 我的办公室写的 I'll schedule some time for you to come to my office.
I, er...
我想让你去那儿写作 I'd like to have you write it there.
同时,如果你想 讨论任何事情… In the meantime, if there's anything you wish to talk about...
我啥都不会写的 I'm not writing anything, man.
那就证明什么了? Which proves what?
如果是两逗号孩子写的 他会说些“背景”废话? If a two-comma kid wrote these papers,
would he say, "Considering your background"?
-“两逗号孩子”? 一百万 - Two-comma kids? - A million dollars, man.
-一个逗号,两个逗号 -不 - One comma, two commas. - No.
我不懂 No, I don't.
你知道人们最害怕什么吗? Do you know what people are most afraid of?
-什么? -他们所不明白的 - What? - What they don't understand.
但我们不明白时 我们会依靠假设 When we don't understand, we turn to our assumptions.
克福不明白… Crawford cannot understand
…为何一个布朗克斯的 黑人能写出你写的文章 how a black kid from the Bronx can write the way you do.
于是他假设不是你写的 So he assumes you can't.
就像我假设他是个混蛋 Just like I assume he's an asshole.
你认识他,是吧? You knew him, didn't you?
克福? Crawford? No.
不
但他认为他认识我 But he thought he knew me.
那他的书是怎么回事? So what's all that stuff about his book, then?
许多作家知道写作的规则… A lot of writers know the rules about writing,
-…但不知如何写作 -因此? but they don't know how to write.
So?
因此克福写了本书 关于四位会写作的作家 So Crawford wrote a book about four authors who did know.
我是唯一在生的 And I was the only one still alive.
-然后呢? -他说服 一个出版商买下版权 -And? - Well, he convinced a publisher to buy it.
于是我礼貌的打了个电话… So...
I made a polite telephone call to this publisher, telling him and others
…给那出版商 告诉他和其他人…
…我在准备写另一本书 that, er... I was in the process of writing a second book
如果他们想竞投的话… and if they wished to bid on it...
哦,原来克福的书 是这样被拒绝的 Oh, so that's why Crawford's book went away.
但你知道不会有第二本书 But you already knew there wasn't going to be a second book.
是的,但他们不知道 Yeah, but they didn't.
资料不在身边不很有趣吗 Interesting what happens when the resources aren't close at hand, isn't it?
在比赛最后一天… (Crawford) The rich tradition of handing in composition entries
…才交作品的传统… on the final day continues

比平时多了点 清晨的沉默寡言 A little more early morning reticence than usual.
科瑞先生 Mr Coleridge.
请你回答 Please.
科瑞先生… Mr Coleridge...
…我们今天 这儿有多少先生? How many students would you say we have here today?
(Coleridge) Um...
我不肯定 I'm not sure.
也许你能给我们个猜测 Perhaps you could humour us with a guess.
-30? -30人 - Thirty? - Thirty.
在30人里,没有一个 知道这段的作者是谁 And of that 30, there isn't one person here who knows the author of that passage.
我觉得不可思议 你呢,科瑞先生? - I find that remarkable, don't you? - Um.
Mr Coleridge.
也许我们还是回到刚才 Perhaps we should back into this. Mr Coleridge...
看着这段 我们可以下任何结论吗?
In looking at this, what, if any conclusions, might we be able to draw?
Um... You mean about the author?
你指作者吗?
任何都可以 About anything.
有任何词让你觉得罕见吗? Do any of the words strike you as unusual?
请把现在看作 是你回答的时刻 Mr Coleridge, feel free to view this as the appropriate time for a response.
“从前” "Ere...", um, "ere".
“从前”它为什么罕见? "Ere". And why is that unusual?
因为… Because it sounds old.
…听起来很老
它的确听起来很老 对吗? It does sound old, doesn't it?
你知道它为什么 听起来老吗,科瑞先生? And do you know why it sounds old, Mr Coleridge?
因为它是个老词 有200多年的历史了 It's because it is old. More than 200 years old.
在你父亲,祖父出生前就有 Written before you were born, before your father was born,
before your father's father was born.
但这仍不能作为 你不知它是谁写的… But that still does not excuse the fact that you don't know who wrote it, now, does it,
…的托辞,是吗,科瑞先生?
Mr Coleridge?
抱歉,老师,我不… Um... I'm sorry, sir, I don't...
你是这儿最 应该知道作者的人 You, of all the people in this room, should know who wrote that passage.
你知道为什么吗? And do you know why, Mr Coleridge?
我再问一次 你知道为什么吗? I repeat, do you know why?
就说你的名字,伙计 Just say your name, man.
你有话要跟大家分享吗 沃勒斯先生 Excuse me. Did you have something to contribute, Mr Wallace?
我只是说他应该说他的名字 I just said that he should say his name.
为什么科瑞先生 应该说自己的名字? And why would it be helpful for Mr Coleridge to say his name?
因为是他写的 Because that's who wrote it.
非常好,沃勒斯先生 Very good, Mr Wallace.
也许你的能力… Perhaps your skills do extend a bit farther than basketball.
…可以伸展到比 篮球更远的地方
我们翻到… 你可以坐下了,科瑞先生 Now, if we can turn to page... You may be seated, Mr Coleridge.
翻到120页在蓝色的小书 Turn to page 120 in the little blue book that I'm certain...
更进一步 Further.
抱歉? I'm sorry?
不要 (Whispers) Don't.
你说我的能力伸展得 比篮球场“更远” You said my skills extend "farther" than the basketball court.
“更远”是指距离 “更进一步”是指程度 "Farther" relates to distance.
"Further" is a definition of degree.
-你应该说“更进一步” 你在挑战我吗,沃勒斯先生?
You should have said "further".
Are you challenging me, Mr Wallace?
跟你挑战科瑞差不多 Not any more than you challenged Coleridge.
也许这挑战应在别处发生 Perhaps the challenge should have been directed elsewhere.

Hold on, please.
在这儿你知道多一些 他们就赶你出去吗? That's what they do around here? Kick you out if you know something?
你不会知道克福会干嘛 You've no idea what Crawford does to students who do this.
这你说对了 Yeah, you're right about that.
贾默! Jamal !
-你认为你要道歉吗? -不 - Do you think you should apologise? - No.
-你呢? -不 - Do you? - No.
你做得对 在他的游戏里赢了他 You did nothing wrong. You just beat him at his own game.
但是… But, however... it would be a good time to be careful.

小心?小心什么? Careful? Careful about what?
你的天赋会让你 作出惊人的成就 Well, you've been blessed with a gift
that should allow you to do some remarkable things with your life.

贾默,要不你碰巧有… (Matthews) Jamal...
Either you happen to have the permission of William Forrester...
…威廉.福斯特的批准 要不…
Or...
你有其他解释吗? Have you some other explanation?
没有 No.
那是我写的
- That's my paper. - Well, then...
但是,现在你的参赛资格 已被取消…
Your entry's now withdrawn and this becomes a matter for the board to consider.
…这已是校董会 要考虑的问题
校董会有权 让你接受学术察看… Bear in mind the board does have the authority
to place you on academic probation,
…这,包括其他的 会让你不能打篮球
which would, among other things, prevent you
from playing basketball here in the future.
(Spence) Jamal...
既然校董会下周才开会… Look... Being as the board doesn't meet until next week,
…你可以参加 本周末的州际杯
we've decided to let you play in this weekend's state championship.
但我得提醒你 校董会一贯… But I have to warn you
that the board has a history of taking these matters...
…处事非常严格 ...quite seriously.
因此我们想提议一个… So we would like to suggest what we feel
…我们认为能 解决问题的方案 is a solution that may satisfy these concerns.
罗勃 Robert.
最重要的是保证 这类事不再发生 Obviously, the most import thing is making certain
this type of violation doesn't repeat itself.
因此… So...
..你要写一封道歉信… you will be required to write a letter of apology
to the students you took advantage of
…澄清这次的事件 by submitting this piece...
-你要在我的课堂上读出来 -我不会读任何东西 ...and you are to read that letter in front of my class.
I'm not reading anything.
我相信校董会会在判定 你的奖学金时考虑这点 I'm sure the board will take that into consideration
when deciding whether to renew your scholarship.
你没有给我们太多选择 贾默 (Matthews) I'm afraid you haven't let us with too many options, Jamal.
抱歉 Excuse me.
永远不要在 我的课上让我难堪 Don't ever embarrass me in front of my class.
写完后请把笔交还 Return the pen when you're finished.
今天不打招呼了? No conventional greetings today?
为什么让我重写 你发表的文章?
Why have me rewrite something you published?
-说得小心点 -为啥不告诉我杂志发表过? Be careful.
Why didn't you tell me some magazine ran it?
这有啥关系? Why the hell should it matter?
你应该告诉我 You should have told me.
你把它怎么了 What did you do with it?
我上交了 I turned it in.
我上交了 我得证明 些东西给他们看 I turned it in. I had to show them something.
你保证我们在这儿 写的只能留这儿
You promised me anything we wrote in here would stay in here.
我知道! I know!
-我只是想… -闭嘴
- I just thought... - Shut up.
他们让你干嘛? What are they telling you?
我不写道歉信的话 就得被察看 I go on probation unless I write some letter saying I was wrong.
那就写吧 Then write the letter.
我说了我啥都不写 I already told you I'm not writing anything.
你整了他,他整了你 写吧 You got him, he gets you. Write the letter.
你就让他这么做? And you'd let him do that?
(Sighs)
这是妈的又一堂课吗? Oh, this supposed to be another damn lesson, huh.
我厌倦了每次来上那些课 I'm getting tired of all these lessons, man. Every time I come here.
你的标题在我的论文上 So, the title of your essay is at the top of my paper. What's the lesson in that?
-这是啥教训? -又不是我上交的
I'm not the one who turned it in.
没错,但你只要说: Yeah, but you were the one who talked all that trash when all you had to say was,
“把这篇留下 它在(纽约客)发表过” "Jamal, keep this one here 'cause it got printed in "The New Yorker"".
你只要说这些就够了 That's all you had to say, man.
-我需要些帮忙 哦,不,那是不可能的 - I could use a little help on this one. - Oh, no, that's not an option.
-你根本不必去… 我说了那是不可能的 - You don't even have to go anywhere... - I said, that's not an option.
那好吧,伙计 Sorry, man.
反正我习惯了 人们不帮我 I've got a history of people not helping me.
Oh, Christ. Not that self-pity father bullshit.
哦,上帝,少来那些 自怜自哀的废话
你说什么? What did you say?
去你的,威廉! Man, fuck you, William !
我这次忍受的废话 其实是… You wanna hear the real bullshit? How about you letting me take it on this one
…因为你不想 走出那扇门… 'cause you're too scared to walk out that door and do something for somebody else.
…为其他人干点事 你太他妈的胆小了!
You're too damn scared, man.
那就是唯一的理由 That's the only damn reason.
(Glass smashes)
你压根不知道什么是理由 You don't know a goddamn thing about reasons.
根本没有理由! There are no reasons!
有些人活着有些却死了 这有理由吗! Reasons why some of us live and why some of us don't.
还好你还有好 几十年去搞明白!
Well, fortunately for you, you've decades to figure that out.
写了一柜子的东西 却没人看过这是什么理由? So what's the reason for having a file cabinet full of writing
and keeping that shit locked so nobody can ever read it?
这是什么理由? What is that, man?
我不想再来了 I'm done with this shit.
(Door closes)
再传球给他
哦,瞧,贾默.沃勒斯 来拜访我们了 Oh, look. Jamal Wallace, Here to pay us a visit, man.
嗨! What's up?
-嗨,伙计! -嗨,你们 - What's up, man? - What's up, y'all?
来吧 Come on, man.
(Whooping)
Damn !
我知道了,我见过了 I know, I know, I know. I'm seeing it.
(Crowd roars in background)
在麦迪逊花园的首次 比赛如何? How does your first game in the Garden feel?
实力比我想象中接近 A little closer than I thought.
所以我觉得 我们应该现在谈谈 That's why I thought it might be a good time for us to talk.
Listen, Jamal...
我知道你打球 让你难以平衡学习 I know it's been difficult handling all of these classes
with all the time they ask you to spend on the court.
我就不可能承受这种负荷 至少在这学校不行 God knows I couldn't handle that load. Not at this school.
或许我们要你 做到是不公平的 And maybe it was unfair of us to ask you to do it.
我跟校董会的人和克福谈了 I've been talking to some of the board members and to Crawford
…我们… and bottom line is, we don't want to pursue this any more than you do.
我们不想强迫 你做你不想做的
我现在给你个方案 我们会忘记整件事 So, I'm here to present you with an offer. We forget about the whole thing.
明年,你的学术 安排会比较轻松 We set you up, next year, with an academic schedule that's less demanding.
你是说克福想这么做? You mean, Crawford wanted that?
克福只是想你和学校都好 Crawford wants what's best for you.
And for the school.
那,我该干嘛?
But then, what am I supposed to do?
你要在巡回赛 最后拿到冠军的奖杯 You hold up a championship trophy at the end of this tournament.
你做到那 我就做到其他的 You make that happen, I'll make the rest of it happen.
好吗? All right?
现在去完成今晚的赛事吧 Now, go finish up what you came to do.

(Whistle)
暂停!暂停! Timeout.
我们还是会赢的 Ok, this is still our game. We make a stop here, they'll have to put us on the line.
我们在这儿停 他们会逼我们到边界
一那样就完了 别打乱了节奏 When that happens, it's all over. Don't lose your composure out there.
如果他们得分 我们不会叫暂停的 If they score, we don't call a timeout. The ball goes to Hartwell or Wallace.
球传给哈维或沃勒斯
好吧?哈维或沃勒斯 走吧,大家 OK? Hartwell or Wallace. Let's go, guys.
加油! Go !

那只小狗自得其乐 瞧,耳朵垂下… (Man on TV) 'He looks very happy with himself, that coyote...'
(Knocking)
(Knocking continues)
(Man on TV) 'So, this is how they avoid that problem.
'Because he might be Wile E. Coyote, but he's also Wussy Coyote.

但是,真奇怪
It's funny, though.
他们早上让你走的很远…
They always let you get but so far,
…然后就把一切 从你身边夺走
before taking everything away from you.
天,他真是个好孩子 但却倒了这个霉 God, he's such a good kid, man. Then he gets to come back to this shit.
这儿没人吗? Is that seat open?
是吧 I think so.
这里不是我想会 找到你的地方 This isn't exactly where I thought I'd find you.

他们想赶走我 得自己动手 They want me out, they gonna have to do it themselves.
他们会的 They will.
随便吧 Whatever.

你现在生疏了吗?
? And the dreams that you dreamed of
你怎么了,哥们?
? Once in a lullaby
第一步怎么走,伙计?
? Somewhere over the rainbow
? Bluebirds fly
? And the dreams that you dreamed of
? Dreams really do come true
? Someday I'll wish upon a star
? Wake up where the clouds are far behind me
? Where trouble melts like lemon drops
? High above the chimney top
? That's where you'll find me
? Somewhere over the rainbow
? Bluebirds fly
? And the dream that you dare to
? Oh, why, oh, why can't I?
(? segues into: "What A Wonderful World")
? Well, I see trees of green and red roses too
? I'll watch them bloom for me and you
? And I think to myself
? What a wonderful world
?I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white
? And the bright blessed day
? I like the dark
? And I think to myself
? What a wonderful world
? The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
? Are also on the faces of people passing by
? I see friends shaking hands
? Singing, how do you do?
? They're really saying
? I love you
? I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
? They'll learn much more than we'll know
? And I think to myself
? What a wonderful world
? Somewhere over the rainbow
? Way up high
