Nobody normally gets killed round here.

They're mostly detached houses and you never even hear shouting.
独门独栋的 互相连个响儿都听不见

00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:03,360
So it took me a minute to tipple to what she was saying.
所以听她说那番话时 我还斟酌了一番

00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:09,520
I said, "Dead? Is it a heart attack?"

She said, "Oh no. Nothing like that.

就等我走到她家门边说一句 我知道我们不熟
