至少我还有琳迪 At least I still had Lindy.
就这样吗 Just like that?
行了 艾迪 这也算是意料之中的事了 Come on, Eddie, This is hardly a surprise,
完全意料之外 I'm surprised,
别这样 好吧 让我... Let's just not do this, OK? Let me...

你很清楚 我愿意与你共度余生 and you know I want to share the rest of my life with you,
我想过也许我们应该... 别求婚 千万别 I was thinking that we should... Don't propose,
为什么 Why not?
因为上一段婚姻就让你精疲力竭 Because it worked out so well for you last time,
这倒是真的 我结过婚 刚毕业的时候 和梅利莎 It's true, I did marry once. Right out of college, to Melissa.
我愿意 I do,

艾迪·莫莱 Eddie Morra,
在所有该被弃之敝履 Of all the useless relationships better forgotten
束之高阁的无用人际关系中 and put away in mothballs,
有什么能比得上前小舅子更无用 is there any more useless than... the ex-brother-in-law?
要死了 老兄 Holy shit, man,
是有多久了 9年有没有 What has it been? Like nine years?
老天爷 嘿 God! Hey,
你还好吗 怎么一副沦落街头的样子 You all right? You look like you're living on the streets,
过得如何 What's going on?

真的吗 是的 Really? Yeah,
那很好啊 你呢 That's great, How about you?
还在贩药吗 弗恩 Are you still dealing, Vern?
我看起来还像干这行的吗 这倒是不像 Do I look like I'm still dealing? No, you don't, No,
走吧 去喝一杯 给我说说你的书 Come on, let's go get a drink, I want to hear about this book,
不是吧 现在可是下午2点啊 I don't know, It's 2:00 in the afternoon,
这个时间你有什么问题吗 When has that ever stopped you?
怎么说 那... So, So...
梅利莎过得好吗 How's Melissa doing?
给 谢谢 Here you go, Thanks,
不知道 没见过她 她搬家了 去了北部 Wouldn't know, I don't see her, She moved upstate,
好像在做什么网络房屋销售的玩意 She got some kind of Internet home sales kind of job,
带着一大堆孩子 Couple kids,
孩子 那她老公呢 Couple kids, Who's the husband?
离了 如果你问的是这个 He walked out on her, if you really want to know,
不过这和你没什么关系吧 But what do you care, man?
算起来你们两个也就结了5分钟的婚 You were married, like, five minutes,
听着 我不想谈她 不如说说你吧 Look, I don't wanna talk about her, I wanna talk about you, OK?
说说你的书 进展如何 Tell me about this book, How's it going?
嗯 书的话 呃... Well, it's, uh...
我...我... I'm... I'm...
我只是在逃避 用书来做借口逃避 I'm behind, I'm behind on my book,
而这个借口差不多毁了我日日夜夜的生活 And, uh, it's pretty well polluting my days and nights,
如果那是你想知道的 if you really want to know,
嗯 你已经写了多少呢 一片空白 Well, how much have you written of it? Not one word,
灵感的问题 是吗 算是吧 Creative problems, huh? Yeah, Mm-hm,
说不定我能帮上忙 Well, I suppose I can help you with that,
不过仅此一次 Just this once,
哦 不用 真的不用了 Oh, no, no, no, no, no,
你根本不知道这是什么 你还在贩药吗 You don't even know what it is, You're still dealing,
老兄 我不干那玩意儿很多年了 Brother, I am light years from that now,
现在我可是某家制药企业的顾问 I've been doing, uh, some consulting for a pharmaceutical company,
什么企业 沿海那些做山寨伟哥的实验室吗 What, like some offshore lab making fake Viagra?
得了 弗恩 Come on, Vern,
不是 这可是明年就会批量生产的高档货 No, This is an exclusive product that's coming on stream next year,
已经通过了临床试验和食药局的认可 They've had clinical trials and it's FDA approved,
好吧 就算纯粹好奇心作祟吧 这... All right, just out of curiosity and that's all...
拿出来看看吧 Let's see it,
这到底是什么 What's in it?
专家已经证实大脑里的受体 They've identified these receptors in the brain
都被触发了特殊的回路 that activate specific circuits,
知道他们都怎么说吗 我们使用的只有大脑的20% And you how they say that we can only access 20 percent of our brain?
然而 这个东西...却能让你完全利用自己的大脑 Well, what this does... it lets you access all of it,
弗恩 看看我 算得上事业有成吗 Vern, look at me, Do I look good to you?
不过是个一无是处的倒霉蛋 I'm broke and I'm depressed off my ass,
我不觉得这么一小片反光的新型药丸 I don't think that my life's gonna take some sudden upswing
能带来翻天覆地的变化 让我名利两全 into fame and fortune by taking some shiny, brand-new designer drug,
甘特 Gant,

抱歉我得先走了 艾迪 Well, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to leave you here, Eddie,
但我真的...真的还想再多说一句 But I really... I really do want to do this again,
所以 记得给我电话 这份算是送你的了 So, call me, And, uh, that's on the house,
我不需要 I don't want it,
别不知足 知道这要多少钱吗 Don't be ungrateful, You know how much that costs?
800块 就这么一小粒 Eight hundred bucks, A pop,
别客气 You're welcome,
在回家的路上 我满脑子想得都是梅利莎 All the way home, I thought about Melissa.
她的生活怎么也会变得一团糟 她这么聪明 How could she be a failure, too? She'd been so smart.
比周围所有人都聪明 Smarter than anyone around her.
显然 当下的艾迪 和今天下午3点微醉的艾迪 Clearly, there was a direct link between this Eddie,
甚至和过往那个吐在老板桌上的 slightly drunk at 3:00 in the afternoon, and an earlier Eddie...
偷走将死姑妈止疼药的艾迪总有着直接联系 ...vomiting on his boss's desk or stealing his dying aunt's Percocet.
所以无怪乎琳迪会弃我而去了 So who could blame Lindy for dumping me?
说到底 还能有多糟糕呢 In the end, how much worse could it get?
我什么人都不想见 I didn't want to see anybody.
尤其是房东那位恶毒的小妻子 Especially not my landlord's nasty young wife.
瓦莱利 才周二呢 听着 我受够了 明白吗 Valerie, Tuesday, Look, Enough, OK?
是斯蒂文在处理房租 他也许吃你那套 Steve handles the rent, so you can feed your crap to him,
我突然有了摆脱她更好的理由 I suddenly had extra reason to get away from her.
我刚刚稀里糊涂地吞下了某种药物 I had thoughtlessly ingested a substance.
好像房租总不够便宜似的 Like the rent's not low enough!
关于这个药物的效果 我只从弗农那里 I had gotten remarkably little information from Vernon
获得了少得可怜的信息 about what this drug would do.
就算你现在骑车去送报也还来得及 我说真的 You could even be a bike messenger and come up with that, Really,
如果这是迷幻药又会怎样 真是毫无指望 What if it was a hallucinogen? It's pathetic,
哦 上帝啊 看她没完没了的碎碎念... Oh, my God. Listening to her rag...
如果我是你的话 早就直接跳窗了 If I were tripping, I'd jump out a fucking window.
嘿 你有没有在听我说 Hello? Are you listening to me?
你还不懂 是不是 你就等着滚去睡大街吧 Do you get it? You are gonna be out on the streets!
然后 我突然感觉到了 And then, I felt it.
之前我是盲目的 现在才终于看清了一切 I was blind, but now I see.
...赶紧给我走 都不敢看我的眼睛 知道为啥么 ...running away! You can't even look at me, you know why?
因为你根本不算是个男人 根本就不是个男人 Because you're not even a man, You're not even a man!
不付房租 没有工作 You don't have rent! You don't have a job!
你怎么了 什么 What's wrong? What?
你不喜欢我 我不怪你 在你眼里 我是个一无是处 You don't like me and I don't blame you, You see a self-defeating,
浪费生命 靠你丈夫施舍过日子的混球 energy-sucking piece of shit who's sponging off your husband,
你乐见我饮弹自尽 You're wishing I'd blow my brains out,
但我的存在并不该让你觉得不安 到底为什么呢 but my existence shouldn't make you this upset, What is it?
和你有什么关系 是法学院的课程不顺利吗 That's none of your business, Something wrong at law school?
你怎么知道我在念法律 How do you know I'm in law school?
没有几个正常人会随身带着 People who aren't, usually don't carry around dry,
这种读来无趣 某位已故高院法官的迂腐之作 academically-constipated books about a dead Supreme Court justice,
你个变态 你...你跟踪我是不是 You're a creep, aren't you? You've been... You've been following me,
不是 我只是看到书而已 你才看到一个角 No, I just noticed the book, You just saw the corner of it,
怎么能确定 How did you know that?
我之前看过 12年前 还在大学的时候 I'd seen it before. Twelve years ago in college.
坐在一个助教的沙发上 Sitting on the couch of a TA I was trying to make,
等着她沐浴归来 waiting for her to come back out of the bathroom,
希冀她能有一个保险套 hoping she'd have a condom.
突然之间这个信息就从潜意识中蹦了出来 Somehow my unconscious had served that up.
一段从未被我刻意记忆的片段 A memory I had never even recorded.
或者说 长久以来 我需要的只是一把钥匙 Or was it there the whole time and all I needed was the access?
如果你要写论文 这本书绝不是上佳选择 If you're writing a paper, that's not the book I'd use,
哈 谁问你意见了 Well, who asked you?
黑斯廷斯有自己的口述历史 Hastings has his oral history,
要是我 就会从那里着手 I'd start there,
有趣的是 基本而言 他就是个白痴 Interesting point, Grammatically, this guy was an idiot,
他曾经解雇的一位员工 which sort of gives credence to the theory
能写出他大部分的观点 that one of the clerks he had fired
这种家伙的理论 有谁愿意相信 actually wrote most of this guy's major opinions,
你可以谷歌一下那位雇员的子孙 You could Google the clerk's sons,
相信他们非常乐意和你交谈 they'd love to talk to you,
为他们父亲脱罪 Exonerate their dad,
也许能给到你一些无人知晓的东西... That'd give you something that no one else has...
古怪博物馆展览的信息 半知半解的文字 Information from the odd museum show, a half-read article,
公共广播公司的某些文档...突然涌到我的额叶 some PBS documentary... it was all bubbling up in my frontal lobes,
自我混合成最绚丽最有用的信息鸡尾酒 mixing itself together into a sparkling cocktail of useful information.
她毫无机会 那你有什么建议呢 She didn't have a chance. So, what are your suggestions?
我们确实为她的论文做了不少工作 We'd really worked on her paper, too.
但45分钟后 就演变成了另一种活动 In 45 minutes, it was a polished gem.
她显然也得到了满足 She was pleased.
家 但这里真的是我的家吗 Home. But it couldn't be my home, could it?
有谁能忍受住在这样的地方 Who would live like this?
真想一把火烧了这里 My first thought was Torch it.
但理智占了上风 But saner heads prevailed.
这算是什么毒品 完全没有上瘾后的混乱 What was this drug? I couldn't stay messy on it,
6个小时没抽一支烟 没有进食... I hadn't had a cigarette in six hours, hadn't eaten,
那么是整洁和节制吗 so... abstemious and tidy?
这算什么呢 让人记忆力更强的毒品吗 What was this? A drug for people who wanted to be more anal retentive?
我不兴奋也不乖张 只是出人意料的清醒 I wasn't high, I wasn't wired. Just clear.
很清楚自己想做什么 该如何去做 I knew what I needed to do and how to do it.
第二天清晨 我小小探索了一下自己的大脑 The next morning, I sent a little probe down into my brain.
毫无任何的澎湃思绪和灵感闪现 No surge of brilliance came up to greet me.
短暂的光彩过后...我还是我 In short... I was back.
但是 有些东西却留了下来 But, something remained.
开玩笑吧你 You're kidding,
没有 居然有白纸黑字装订成册 No, Words have appeared on paper,

好吗 OK,
可以 艾迪 好的 OK, Eddie, OK,
艾迪 回来了给我电话 Eddie, give me a call when you get in.
艾迪 我又看了40页 给我电话 Eddie, I'm 40 pages further in. Call me.
虽然有些小做作 不过我还在看 It's a little grandiose, but I'm still reading.
说吧 你怎么做到的 OK, how did you do this?
我真的很喜欢...一回来就给我电话 别忘了 I'd really like... Just call me the minute you get in. Call. OK?

如果你够聪明 就更有效果了 Works better if you're already smart,
弗恩 谁把你打成这样的 Vern, who did this to you?
相信我 你不会想知道的 Trust me, you don't want to know,
呃... Uh...
那 这个叫什么来着 在市面上还没有名字 So, uh, what's it called? Doesn't have a street name yet,
但是那些药剂师都叫它NZT 48 But the boys in the kitchen are calling it NZT 48,
"药剂师" 我不知道... "The boys in the kitchen"? I don't...
听起来不怎么像是被食药局认可的药品啊 弗恩 That doesn't sound very FDA-approved, Vern,
食药局认可 说什么笑话呢 FDA-approved, that's a laugh,
你不会真相信了吧 You didn't really believe that shit, did ya?
好吧 现在是什么状况 OK, so what do we have here?
某种未知的 未经测试 有潜在危险的药片 Some unknown, untested, possibly dangerous drug
从某身份未明的实验室流落出来 scammed out of some unidentified lab somewhere
经由一个我多年未见 极不可信的家伙交到我手中 given to me by a highly unreliable guy I hadn't seen in years.

弗恩知道凶手是谁 Vern had known whoever had done this.
也明白他们在找的是什么 And one guess what they'd been looking for.
但他们找到了吗 But had they found it?

值得冒这个风险吗 Worth the risk?
如果是你 会如何呢 What would you do?
弗恩留下的现金 加上一些前所未有潮涌的冲动 Vern's cash, combined with an unprecedented surge of motivation,
促使我在4天里面完成了一整本小说 enabled me to finish the book in four days.
一天一片 A tablet a day

我在服用某种特殊药物 I'm on special medication,
好的 OK,
某种特殊的复合配方 Well, it's a formula with a complex method,
当然 调研 大量的调研也是其中一部分 But, of course, research was a component, Massive research,
我清楚了解自己购买公司的每一丝架构 I knew every helix of every scrap of DNA in every company I bought,
我办公室的资料堆积如山 知道这意味着什么吗 Papers stacked like the Himalayas in my office, and you know what?
股价上涨 说对了一点 The stocks went up, By a hair,
没错 股价是在上涨 但谁愿意为某个 Sure, the stocks rose, but who wants to do all that work
毫无远见的领导者工作 for a shitty little uptake?
你想要的并不是 It's not the visceral kind of spike you want
短期的持有或是增长... in short term holdings so...
...抛弃所有的统计数据 ...I dispensed with all the hard statistics
我直接在市场传闻中捕捉需要的信息 and I went right to the rumor mill,
你的股票都是这样买进的吗 So you bought your stocks based on what?
街边的小道消息? The tom-toms beating in the street?
自然 股价的高低并非真正基于公司的运营状况 Sure, Share prices aren't really based on how a company works,
更多的是对群众心理的把握 It's about how mass psychology works,
所以如果我发现了股价预测的某种计算方式 So, if I found certain algorithms in the perception of the stock...
模式识别 看来这就是你骗人的万灵油咯 Pattern recognition, That's your snake oil,
但 并非所有人都能理解这种模式 Well, not everybody understands the patterns,

然后 我打算另辟蹊径 So then, I went on to door number three,
你是暗示自己已经找到了某种终端公式吗 Are you really implying that you have some sort of ultimate formula?

我有的是宏伟建筑的详细计划 I have an actual recipe for grandeur,
我不知道你是谁 也不清楚你的把戏 I don't know who you are, Eddie, or what you game is,
但有一点我很肯定 but I'm sure of one thing,
你并不是我会任而用之的人 You don't work in my world,
我太熟悉所谓的投资人 I'm up to my ass with investment guys
你不像他们是惶恐不安 and you don't have their half-terrified,
和妄自尊大的混合体... half-cocky line of crap which is...
...但这并不意味着我会更欣赏你 ...not to say that I like yours any better,
但显而易见的是 你以一种 But you obviously pick your stocks
我从未见识过的方式选择股票 in a way which I haven't seen before,
看看这些公司 然后告诉我你的想法 Take a look at these companies and tell me what you think,
现在吗 是的 你可以慢慢来 Right now? Yeah, Take your time,

行了 你们两个合作? I mean, come on, The two of you together?
整个世界就会像奥利弗·特维斯特一样 The whole world would have to come begging for energy
端着破碗向你们乞讨能源 like Oliver Twist and his bowl of gruel,
你现在是倒退了 还看出什么 Now you're going backwards, What else you got?
预言 这行不通的 为什么 A prediction, It won't come off, Why's that?
除非能放弃利比亚 真的吗 You'd have to back off Libya, Really?
好吧 你不会想从搭你便车的笨蛋那里 Well, you don't want to hear this from some schmuck
听到这些信息 who needs a ride home,
好吧 你赢了 All right, you get your shot,
明早10点圣瑞吉酒店见 Meet me tomorrow at the Saint Regis at ten

你不会真住在这里吧 You don't really live here, do you?
嗯...艰苦朴素通常不怎么喜闻乐见 Well... Spartans weren't big on amenities,
是的 他们通常会摔得很惨 Yeah, and they eventually got their asses kicked,
我没有进屋 更想四处走走 消化再吸收 I didn't go in. I wanted to walk, move, digest, ingest.
生活中就是有这样的时候 There are moments in life...
你清楚自己离成功只有一步之遥 moments when you know you've crossed a bridge.
你过去的失败已成过往 Your old life is over.
而范隆就是我的那一步 我终于走到了这里 Van Loon was my bridge. I finally had my shot.
华尔街会提供所需的一切 但我又能走多远呢 Wall Street would provide my nest egg, but then how far could I go?
CEO 全球力量 也许还能是总统 CEO? A global force? Maybe President.
是到了有人来撼动这个世界 完成事业的时候了 Time somebody shook up the free world and got things done.
突然之间... Suddenly...
又是一个跳跃 我怎么走过了20个街区呢 It was another skip. How had I gone the last 20 blocks?
又是10个 然后... I got another ten blocks. And then...

用手指勾伸入嘴内部 You use the fishhook action to get inside the mouth.
就像这样 Like this.
攻击敏感区域 眼睛 咽喉 腹股沟 Attack the sensitive areas. The eyes, the throat, the groin.
一旦得手 不要停止 If you are hit, do not stop.
你的坚持不懈会让袭击者退缩 Your persistence will discourage your attacker.
让对手失去平衡 Off-balancing your opponent
并利用他的冲力 带倒他 and then using his momentum, take him down.
当一切静止的时候 When it finally stopped,
我完全无法拼凑出生命中过去的18个小时 I couldn't account for the last 18 hours of my life.
嘿 是我 我本以为你会来 Hey, it's me. I thought you were coming over.
你还好吗 接到留言给我电话 Is everything OK? Call me when you get this.
即便没有NZT 我仍决定尝试研究范隆的文件 Even off NZT, I decided to give Van Loon's files a shot.
却发现根本就是天书一般的存在 They were hieroglyphs.

我当时病了 你没资格生病 I was sick, You don't get sick,
生意做到这份上 有口气就得上 你还没死呢 You're playing at this level, you get hit by a car, you don't even die,

你和谁提起过这个吗 Have you been talking to anyone?
没有 谁也没提 卡尔 我又不傻 No, I haven't been talking to anybody, Carl, I'm not stupid,
我知道你不蠢 艾迪 I know you're not stupid, Eddie,
但不要犯所有聪明人会犯的错 but don't make the classic smart person's mistake,
就是以为没人能比过你 Thinking no one's smarter than you,
你他妈的去哪儿了 Where the hell have you been?
这是你第二次玩失踪了 This is the second time you've turned to vapor,
哪儿也没去 就是去喝个咖啡 I was in the building, I was getting coffee,
怎么了 有新情况吗 Why, has there been movement?
是有新情况 阿特伍德陷入昏迷 Yeah, there's been movement alright, Atwood's in a coma,
他没在耍我们 他确实生命垂危 He wasn't playing us, He's dying,
你对此有什么看法 What do you know about this?
我一时不知要如何作答 I was less than usually equipped to answer.
迟钝感逐渐涌上 该再次服用NZT了 The dullness was coming on. I was overdue to take my NZT.

我想知道为什么已经板上钉钉的生意打了水漂! I wanna know why this clusterfuck of a deal is dead in the water!
卡尔 Carl,
艾迪! 艾迪! Eddie! Eddie!
今天在勒诺克斯山医院外 Outside Lenox Hill Hospital today,
范隆与阿特伍德的合并出现了更多的变数 more twists and turns in the Van Loon-Atwood merger.
并购仅仅是谣传 There is absolutely no truth to the rumor of this merger.
绝对没有 我丈夫正在接受检查 None whatsoever. My husband is having tests.
这是困难时期 This is a difficult time.
诸位有任何问题可以咨询我们的律师 We would appreciate your directing further questions to our attorney.
目前无可奉告 Yes, we have no further comments at this time.
我们在等待最新检测结果 We're just awaiting the results of the latest round of tests
并期待有奇迹发生 and hoping for the best.
谢谢 Thank you.
艾迪 我知道你在家 艾迪 Eddie, I know you're in there, Eddie,
开门 Open up,
快点 Come on,
快开门 Open the door,
于是我就到了现在这地步 And so, here I am.
我知道那药会一点点将我吞噬 I knew they would kill me slowly and horribly.
但那至少是我的选择 But this choice would at least be mine.
我们都是本能动物 我们想活下去 But we're instinctive creatures. We want to live.
所以我混沌的大脑努力回忆 So my foggy brain tried to remember
还能在哪里再找出一片NZT where one tablet of NZT might be.
这仅仅是个可能 但有这个可能性也就够了 It was possible. And possible was enough.
你好 艾迪 Hey, Eddie,
你知道我想要更多的药 为什么惹我生气 Now you know I want more, so why would you upset me?
我不喜欢药快用尽的感觉 I don't like being down to this last one,
你不懂得怎么利用它 You don't even know how to use it,
你不会物尽其用 You don't appreciate it,
你瞧 我把它溶解成液体 You see, I dissolve in a solution,
一旦注射 直接进入血液和大脑 You shoot it, It goes straight into the blood and brain,
药效持久得多 Lasts much longer,
那么 So...
你现在准备告诉我剩下的药在哪里了吗 You gonna tell me where the rest is?
我吃光了 I'm plumb out,
给我找 Go look.
要知道 我的人迟早找到它 You know, these guys are gonna find it,
或者我逼你说出来 Or I'm gonna make you tell me,
问题是 哪种办法会先奏效呢 Question is, which is gonna come first?
我想我们会知道答案的 对吗 I guess we're gonna find out, huh?
知道吗 你在浪费我的时间 This is a waste of my time, you know?
我准备从这行洗手不干了 I'm getting out of this side of the business,
去拓展新业务 我开了家进出口公司 I'm branching out, I'm starting import-export company,
非常激动人心 Very exciting stuff,
我忙得很 和你耗是你的荣幸 I got a lot on my plate, You're lucky I'm here,
这里有个保险箱 There's a safe.
要在以前 我会剥了你的皮 割你的肉 Back in the old times, I might peel your skin back, Fillet you,
"割肉" 这词不错 "Fillet," It's a nice word,
我以前不知道这词 哦 那时我的词汇量真贫乏 I didn't know this before, Oh, I had such a poor vocabulary,
但现在我发现了个好东西 谷歌 But then I discovered this thing, Google,
你知道小肠和大肠一共有20英尺长吗 Did you know the small and large intestines is 20 foot long?
我不知道 也不相信 I had no idea, I don't believe it,
我要眼见为实 我很多疑 这又是个新鲜词 I gotta see this for myself, I'm dubious, It's another nice word,
无论如何 我相信你也对此感到好奇 Anyway, I'm sure you're curious, too,
别担心 都消过毒的 Don't worry, everything's sterilized,
结束之前都不会让你断气的 We're gonna keep you alive for the whole shebang,
你可是身处最佳位置哦 艾迪 You're gonna get a front row seat, Eddie,
怎么 What?
算不得什么胜利 不是吗 Not much of a triumph, was it?
因为死的也有可能是我 Because I would die here, too.
只有NZT能救我 Only NZT could help me
而最后的药残存在这个家伙的血液之中 and the last of it was in this fuck's blood stream.
维克多! Victor!
什么 What?
喂! Hey!
我看不见 I can't see.
在你右边 开枪 On your right, shoot him.
维克多? Victor?
警察事后会得知 The police would later note
我公寓的前任主人是个军火商 that my apartment's previous owner was an arms dealer.
自然 这些闯入者也是对他不满的客户 Of course, these intruders had been his dissatisfied clients.
夜还长得很 And the night was still young.
我相信你肯定对你老板身上发生的事感到好奇 I'm sure you're curious about what happened to your boss,
至少我很好奇 I know I certainly am,
我是说 如果我的律师真在为阿特伍德先生效力 I mean, if my attorney was really working for Mr. Atwood,
想要竭力拯救他的话 他怎么会死 trying to save his life, why is he dead?
怎么没见到这位忠心耿耿的下属 I mean, at what point was the pony express supposed to ride in
带着救命灵药飞奔而来呢 with his life-saving medication?
他的老板死了 His boss was dead.
因此我再也无关紧要 So, I didn't matter now.
但他不满莫里斯·布兰特 But he did not appreciate that Morris Brandt
独吞了药物 had kept the pills for himself.
一切仍有挽回的余地 And it was all still possible.
十二个月以后 TWELVE MONTHS LATER
实际上 票已售罄 Actually, no, there's no more tickets,
我明白 临时多出来的募捐人 这倒头一次 Yeah, I know, An overbooked fundraiser, That's a first,
他刚好过来了 我问问他 Well, here he comes, I'll ask him,
这样看上去好多了 Oh, that's much better,
非常好 谢谢 先生 Great job, Thank you, sir,
你好 莫莱先生 Hi, Mr. Morra,
爱德华! Edward!
我想我们这是要有第二次人满为患的募捐晚会了 I think we're looking at a second overflow event,
大量捐款不断涌入 我觉得 There's a wave of donations coming in and I don't think
那些人都没怎么犹豫就决定了 they're even gonna try a second debate,
太好了 坚持住 Great. Hold on,
EC公司的人在你办公室等你 A guy from Eiben-Chemcorp's in your office,
我约了人吃午餐 他们是你最大的捐助人 I have a lunch, They're your biggest contributor,

终于见到了维持这一切运转的功臣 Finally get to meet the guys that keep the lights on,
卡尔! 莫莱先生 Carl! Mr. Morra,
真是意外 他们告诉我来的是EC公司的人 What a surprise, They told me somebody from Eiben was coming,
EC公司 没错 那现在是我的公司 Chemcorp, Yeah, that's me now,
我在渐渐退出能源市场 I'm moving out of the energy business,
拜托 这就像海夫纳离开"花花公子"杂志一样 Come on, That's like Hef moving out of the mansion,
几个月前我买下了EC公司 Yeah, I bought Eiben a couple of months ago,
你竟然没听说这事 I'm surprised you didn't hear,

参议院 谁知道呢... The Senate, Who knows...
以后又会有何发展 艾迪 Everything's a technicality from here on in, isn't it, Eddie?
我们都知道未来的方向 只要你能维持现状 I think we both know where it's headed, if you can maintain,
你想过药用完了之后要怎么办吗 Have you asked yourself what you're gonna do when you run out?
你啥时候知道的 有关系吗 反正我知道了 When did you know? Does it matter? I know now,
我真希望你来找的是我 艾迪 I wish you'd come to me at first, Eddie,
我本可以用33块一股的价格收购EC的 I could have bought Eiben at 33 a share,
我们本可以成为合作伙伴 We could have been partners,
NZT是EC制造的 So, Eiben makes NZT,
官方记录上没有这条 Well, it'll never officially exist,
显然我不需要再指出这对你有什么好处 Obviously, I don't need to point out the advantages for you,
我想你也许需要 Oh, I think maybe you do,
给你无限供应 我们都知道你别处弄不到了 Limitless supply, We know you can't get any more,
你确定? You sure about that?
他们今早刚刚关闭了你的实验室 They shut down your lab this morning,
艾迪 我只是想帮你 仅此而已 Eddie, I just want to help you, that's all,
为你提供源源不断的药物 Keep you supplied, No disruption in service,
让你能安心做事 仅此而已 Give you peace of mind, That's all,
作为回报 我需要做什么 And in return, I do what?
听从点建议 也许吧 一开始我不会成天来打扰你 Get a little advice, maybe, I won't be bothering you much at first,
但之后呢 你会拿什么样的事来找我 And later, What are you gonna be bothering me with?
既然谈到你奋斗的方向 Well, given where you're heading,
某些主意可能会有点激进 some of our ideas are a bit ambitious,
但是 我认为都是可以实现的 But hey, I think they're achievable,
如果我不喜欢你的主意怎么办 And what if I don't like your ideas?
那我们就会说 "祝你成功" Then we'll say, "Godspeed,"
然后你的生命之烛也许就要风雨飘摇了 And your candle will have shed a brief, but lovely light,
但听我说 艾迪 我们 But you know what, Eddie, let's not even
现在还是不谈这么远 go there right now,
现在 我希望让你保持智慧 Right now, I just want to keep you brilliant...
...健康 来吧 我们一起去吃个饭 ...and healthy, Come on, Let's go get some lunch,
你先请 议员 After you, Senator,
谢谢你来拜访 卡尔 Thanks for stopping by, Carl,
给我们一点时间 Give us a second,
你这是在干嘛 你想成为美国总统 What are you doing? Do you want to be President of the United States
还是想变成植物人? 我倒愿意碰碰运气 or brain dead, stuck full of tubes? I'll take my chances,
