是啊 腿不错 Yeah. Nice legs.
很明显 Oh, clearly this is not

他 他人很好 He's... he's really a nice guy.
以防万一 我需要跟他多接触接触 确认下 Yeah, well, just to make sure, I'm gonna need to hang with him a little bit, check him out.
我认为没那必要 Oh, I don't know that that's necessary.
若他跟我儿子睡在同一房子里 就有必要 If he's sleeping in the same house as my son, I think it is.
首先 MJ昨晚不在家 Oh, well, first off, um, M.J. Was at a sleepover last night.
实际上 杰克逊他俩还没见过 And, in fact, Jackson and he haven't even met,
所以 你真的没必要过来 so, uh, there's really no need for you to be hanging...
确认 Or checking.
给杰克逊说我明晚来这接他 Oh, just... tell Jackson I'll pick him up here tomorrow night.

凯伦·麦克卢斯基又侮辱我了 Karen McCluskey insulted me again,

她这次又跟你说什么了 All right, what did she say to you this time?
没什么 不重要了 我们要搬家了 成年人不会因为些 Nothing. It doesn't matter. We are moving. Adults don't pack up and move
善意的取笑而搬家的 because of some good-natured teasing.
她说我的胸部是德国工程师的功劳 She said that my breasts were a triumph of German engineering.
这是善意吗 You call that good-natured?
别这样 她只是个脾气暴躁的老女人 Come on. She's a cranky old lady.
不仅是她 她们都这样 It's not just her. It's all of them.
我是说 已经五年了 我变了不少 I mean, it's been five years. I have changed.
但这条街上没人在意 But the people on this street don't care.
对她们来说 我一直都是个笑话 To them, I will always be a joke.
抱歉你今天过得不好 I'm sorry you had a bad day.
不要再劝我了 Please don't use your motivational voice.
我真的很讨厌那 I really hate that.
你有些心烦 还有些疲倦 You're upset and you're tired.

真是不明白 I just never understood it.
我们可以在任何一个城市生活 We... we could've gone and lived in any city in this country.
你为什么要坚持住在这呢 Why did you insist on living here?

不 那不能解决全部问题 No! That's only part of the problem.
最近查过我们的银行余额吗 Have you checked our bank balance lately?
加布 我不在乡村俱乐部上班了 Gaby, I am not taking the country club job.
为什么 你可以给富人按摩啊 Why not? You'd be massaging rich people.
他们给的小费多 也不会那么暴露 They tip better and they tend to flake less.
是啊 但我喜欢在这里工作 Yeah, but I like working here.
我可以跟你和孩子们在一起 I get to spend lots of time with you and the kids.
卡洛斯 我不需要花那么多时间跟你在一起 Carlos, I don't need to spend lots of time with you.

我介意 Well, I do.
你需要件写着"我是名有责任感的市民"的衬衫 We need a shirt that says, "I'm a responsible citizen,"
而不是"我最喜欢的服装店也卖奇装异服" not "my favorite clothing store also sells bongs."
你是在说我的着衣风格吗 Are you dissing my sense of style?

如果他不喜欢我 会有什么后果 If he doesn't like me, what's he gonna do?
他会把我传到法庭 He could take me to court,
法官会让我在你和我儿子之间做出选择 and the judge can make me choose between you and my son.
抱歉 我会选儿子 And I'm sorry. You will lose.
培顿·曼宁是最棒的四分卫 Peyton Manning is the greatest quarterback who ever lived.

我想是吧 I guess.
你朋友在学校交易毒品被抓了 Your friend gets busted for dealing drugs at school,
而你全部的态度就是 "我想是吧" and all you have to say is, "I guess"?
他不是我朋友 你说什么呢 He's not my friend. What are you talking about?
你俩以前是一个棒球队的 You were on the same little league team.

没 No.

帕克 Hey. Parker.
能问你点事么 不要告诉别人 Can I ask you something, just between us?
波特没和康拉德来往么 Does Porter hang out with Jimmy Conrado?
不知道 我能查看他在银菲茨网上的好友列表 他在什么上的什么 I don't know. I could check out his friends list on silverfizz. His what on what?
这就像是个人空间 你有一个网 It's like MySpace. You have a web page.
可以展示你的爱好 喜欢的音乐 It shows your hobbies, your favorite music,
也能和别人聊天 and you can talk to people.
是么 任何人都能和他聊天么 Really? Can anyone talk to him?

这需要怎么申请呢 And, uh... How would somebody make that happen?
现在这只是个样本 Now it's just a mock-up,

妈妈 这太棒了 Mom, that's fantastic.
书名的字体真好看 Good call on the font.
奥森 你觉得呢 Thank you, dear. Orson, what do you think?
看我妻子在封面上 叫范德坎普夫人很别扭 Well, I think it's strange to see my wife billed as "Mrs. Van De Kamp."
你早就知道这书要这么命名的 是 但是实际看到又是另外一回事 Well, you knew what the book was gonna be called. Yes, but it's different actually seeing it.
我意思是 现在改名叫"豪治夫人"是不是太晚了 I mean, is it too late to go with "Mrs. Hodge"?
我的公司 我们分开的时候我开的公司 My company, which I formed when we were separated,
叫范德坎普夫人宴会服务公司 所以我才出名 那是在美景镇 is called Mrs. Van De Kamp's catering. It's how I'm known. Oh, in Fairview.
这本书会全国发行的 But this book will be national.
我是说这是重新打造品牌的机会 I mean, it's your chance to rebrand yourself.
那豪治又有什么不对么 Is there something wrong with "Hodge"?
我闻到牛奶好像坏了 我去看看 I think I just heard the milk go bad. I should check.
奥森 我爱你 但是你的名字 我们的名字 一点旋律都没有 Orson, I adore you, but your name... our name... It has no music.
范德坎普能在舌尖跳跃 "Van De Kamp" trips off the tongue.
豪治 听起来就像是活塞发出的噪音 "Hodge" sounds like the noise a plunger makes.
这个太荒唐了 That's preposterous.
你听 范德坎普 Listen... Van De Kamp.
豪治 Hodge.
而且 他周三要上一个电台采访节目 Also, she's got a radio interview Wednesday,
他们已经按照范德坎普夫人宣传她了 and they're already promoting her as Mrs. Van De Kamp.
看到没 木已成舟了 See? The ship has already sailed.
别伤心 这只是我的职业名字 Oh, don't be hurt. It's my professional name.
在这家里 我会一直都是豪治夫人 In this house, I will always be Mrs. Hodge.
如果豪治夫人今晚做你最爱吃的炖肉 Now... would it help if Mrs. Hodge
会不会心里感觉舒服点呢 cooked you your favorite pot roast tonight?
我想会好点的 Yes, I guess it would help.
那你和宣传代理的会呢 Uh, meeting with your publicist?
是啊 明天肯定给你做 Oh, right. Um, tomorrow for sure, then.
范德坎普 Van De Kamp. Hmm.
豪治 Hodge.
给你的 谢谢 Here you go. Oh, thank you.
托比 从椅子上下去 你最好记住 Toby, get off my chair. You know better.
你此行的目的是什么 So what's on your mind?
是伊迪 It's Edie.
你昨天说了一些话伤害到她了 You said something to her yesterday that hurt her feelings.
关于她的胸部的那个么 算了吧 就是个玩笑 That thing about her breasts? Come on. That was a joke.
可能 但她非常伤心 Perhaps, but it upset her so much
她觉得我们应该离开紫藤郡 that she suggested we leave Wisteria Lane.
我不能那么做 麦克卢斯基太太 I can't have that, Mrs. M.
这是我和伊迪之间的方式 我们互相调侃的 Hey, this is what Edie and I do. We tease each other.
我说她比社区学院更容易相处 I say she's easier to get into than community college.
她说我的脸长得像膝盖 She says my face looks like a knee.
娱乐而已 It's fun.
我坚持 如果你向她道歉 Still... I would consider it a personal favor
我会看做这是个人娱乐 if you'd apologize to her.
你知道的 让她感觉到被接受和被爱 You know, make her feel accepted and loved.
不 No.
不行 No?
如果伊迪想改变我们之间谈话的方式 If Edie wants to change the way we talk to each other,
她会亲自来跟我说的 she's gotta ask me personally.
我觉得你诉了这么多苦 And I think you've got a lot of gall
让我觉得我做错了什么事 making me feel like I did something wrong
而现在你根本都不了解我 when you don't even know me.
我了解你 Oh... I know you,
比你想象中更了解 better than you think.
真的么 Oh, really?
一开始 For starters,
你跟你的猫说话就好像他也是个人 you talk to your cat like it's a person.
当我敲你的门时 你立刻就邀请我进来了 When I knocked on your door, you immediately invited me in.
不用动脑子就能看出来你很孤独 Doesn't take a genius to see that you're lonely.
我想你生活中曾经有人陪伴 I'm thinking you had people in your life at one time...
那人非常在乎你 People who cared about you.
但是他们都发生了一些改变 But something happened to them.
可能是死了 或者其它的什么 Some probably died. The rest, well...
他们只是不再回来了 They just don't come around much anymore.
你认为是什么原因 Why do you think that is?
我了解你 麦克卢斯基太太 I know you, Mrs. McCluskey.
在我看来 像你这样的女人 会希望留住这个已经离开过的朋友 And it seems to me that a woman like you would like to keep the few friends that she has left.
我想你该走了 I think you'd better go.
谢谢今晚的招待 Hey... Thanks for tonight.
趁我还没忘 那个小马队真衰 And, uh, before I forget, the colts suck.
这才是够衰呢 看了个0比0的比赛 Oh, here's what sucks... Watching a zero-zero game
还没有拉拉队 球童 with no cheerleaders, soccer boy. Ah!
你们刚才在调侃对方 这真好 不是么 You guys were insulting each other. That's good, right?
是 我们一拍即合 Yeah, we had a blast.
真的么 是啊 Really? Yeah.
事实上 我们还约好周三晚上一起去奥布莱恩酒吧 In fact, we're getting together Wednesday night at O'Brien's,
他说那有镇上最棒的培根炸土豆皮 which he claims has the best bacon potato skins in town.
奥布莱恩的炸土豆皮么 你已经融入他们的圈子啦 Potato skins at O'Brien's? You've made his inner circle!
太棒了 谢谢 This is fantastic! Thank you. Mmm. Mmm.
你可以想一种比这更有创造性的方式来谢我 Ah, you can think of a more creative way to thank me than that.
你以前从来没这么做过 Mmm. Mmm. Ahh. Ohh. Oh. Nice. Yeah? Yeah. Mmm. Oh, wow. You've never done that before.
等会 Wait.
你以前从没这么做过 你为什么现在这么做 You've never done that before. Why are you doing that now?
不知道 你不喜欢么 I don't know. Don't you like it?
喜欢 但是你怎么知道我喜欢呢 Yeah. But how did you know I would like it?
天呢 Oh, my god.
麦克把耳朵的事情告诉你的 是不 What? Mike told you about the ear thing, didn't he?
不是 No.
就是在你和麦克成为同盟好友的晚上 So you just happened to stumble across my secret turn-on
你偶然发现了我的私密敏感带 the same night that you and Mike became B.F.F.S?
既然你喜欢这样 那咱们不能忽略这个事实么 But aren't we losing sight of the fact that you like it?
这是 我的意思是 我 This is... I mean, I'm just...
我被亵渎了 I have been violated.
宝贝 别这样 Oh, honey, come on...
别碰我 还有我的耳朵 我耳朵是你的禁区 Don't touch me! Or my ears! My ears are dead to you.
他只是不小心顺嘴说的 我们在谈女孩子 It just slipped out. We were talking about how girls...
她们 她们都喜欢不同的东西 不是么 They... they all like different things, right?
我在说一个女中学生 And I-I was talking about this girl in high school,
她喜欢的方式就是穿着鞋做 how she liked to do it with her shoes on,
麦克就说了轻咬耳垂的事情 他还给这取了个名字 and... and Mike talked about the lobe nibble. He has a name for it?
那就是了 你和麦克不许再来往了 Okay. That's it. You and Mike are not hanging out anymore.
还有这周三 土豆皮和苏珊调情技巧之夜么 And this little Wednesday "potato skins and Susan sex tips night"?
我要禁止这个 I forbid it.
麦克提过他喜欢被吮吸脚趾么 Did Mike mention he likes having his toes sucked?
只是不小心顺嘴说的 Oops! That just slipped out. Hmm.
布里 怎么了 Gaby... Bree! What's up?
米歇尔·唐宁让我来告诉你 Well, um, Michelle downing asked me to speak to you.
不知道你听说没有 是我在筹备她的生日派对 I don't know if you heard, but I'm catering her birthday party...
我听说了 迫不及待了 我还想问你 I heard. I can't wait. Ooh, I was gonna ask you.

你不能来 You can't come.
对不起 Sorry.
我不得不撕去那一页 I just had to rip the band-aid off.

她的客人都是会员 Well, her guests are all members,
她想他们可能会觉得很难去交际 和 and she thinks they might find it awkward socializing with...
员工 Staff.
她管我们叫员工 She called us "staff"?
加布 只是个派对 我会给你留些蛋糕的 Oh, Gaby, it's just one party. I'll save you some cake.
不 这不只是个派对 No! It's not just one party!
是整个社交季节的开始 It's the kickoff to the whole social season.
如果人们看到米歇尔的名单上划掉了我们 If people see we're off Michelle's list,
我们就会在所有人的名单上被划掉 then we'll be off everyone's.
这可能会成为我们慢慢淡出 And then it's gonna be the start of our slow slide
各种盛装宴会的开始 from gowns and galas to flip-flops and keggers!
好吧 如果原因是卡洛斯的工作 Okay, if Carlos working at the club is the problem,
那就告诉她他刚辞职了 then tell her he just quit.
甜心 就算辞职也不能解决问题 Oh, hon, I don't think that's gonna fly.
他已经帮很多成员按摩了 He's already rubbed too many members.

你好 琳达 Hi, Linda.
说说为什么写"传统烹饪" Tell me. Why "old-fashioned"?
我认为很多人都怀念传统的生活 Well, I think a lot of people miss the way life used to be...
女人们有更多的时间烹饪 Back when women had more time to cook.
对我来说和家人一起十分重要 一家人围在桌子旁 共同品尝用爱心煮出来的热热的晚餐 It's always been important to me to have the family gather around the table every night for hot, lovingly prepared meals.
那么你是传统的女性 So you're a traditional kinda gal.

关于我的丈夫 But in regards to my husband,
我需要特别声明一点 I should make one thing very clear...

必须让她大吃一惊 I have to knock her socks off,
不能只靠鳕鱼 and I am not betting the farm on haddock.
告诉我你喜欢的东西 Argue with me all you like.
我刚买了40磅的猪肉 你最好赶紧过来 I just bought 40 pounds of pork, so get your tushie over here.
奥森 你收听了琳达·弗拉纳根采访我吗 Orson! Did you get my message about Linda Flanagan?
听了 Yes, I heard.
太棒了不是吗 Isn't it amazing?
嗯 赶得上广播我的死讯了 Mm. Almost as amazing as my on-air death notice.
你胡说什么 What?
"布里 你丈夫吗" "So, Bree, do you have a husband?"
"没有 以前有 他翘辫子了" "Nope. Used to. He croaked."
她不是问我我有没有丈夫 She didn't ask if I had a husband.
她问我范德坎普先生在吗 She asked if there was a Mr. Van De Kamp,
那当然说不在啦 但是有个豪治先生 and there's clearly not. Well, there's a Mr. Hodge.
提一下我会死吗 Would it have killed you to have mentioned me?
会浪费宝贵的播音时间 And waste valuable airtime?
广播是为了采访我的烹饪书的 The show was about my cookbook,
不是采访我的婚姻状况 not about my tortured marital history.
我想说的不是这个 That's not what this is about.
是因为我坐过牢吗 It's because I went to jail, isn't it?
奥森 我只有六个小时来准备80个人的食物 Orson, I have 6 hours to prepare a meal for 80 people.
现在我们不能讨论这个问题 We're not having this discussion now.
承认吧 我让你觉得羞愧 Just admit it. You're ashamed of me.
那我应该以你为傲吗 Should I be proud?
你想要我在节目上到处宣传 Do you want me to go on the radio and boast
我的丈夫曾经因为撞人逃逸坐牢吗 that my husband served time for running someone over?
我去坐牢是因为你说 I went to jail because you told me
只有那样你才原谅我 it was the only way you'd take me back.
因为那么做是正确的 And because it was the right thing to do.
我当时不知道我会成为公众人物 I just didn't know then that I would be a public figure someday.
但我现在已经是了 我现在有名气了 But I am. I have a name now.
你真幸运 但我不出名 And luckily for you, it's not mine.
奥森 请别难过 Orson, please don't be hurt.
我现在压力很大还要担心失败 I am under so much pressure and so terrified I'll fail
大部分时间我都不知道自己说什么 that I don't even know what I'm saying half the time.
让我好好把宴会忙完 Just let me get through this.
我答应你只要宴会一结束 As soon as the plates go out tonight,
我就立刻回家给你做炖肘肉 I will come home and cook you that pot roast I promised.
行吗 Okay?
好吧 Okay. Hmm.
只是 我 It's just that... I...
香葱 我居然把香葱给忘了 Chives! How could I forget chives?
喂 苏珊 是我 Hey, Susan, it's me.
听着 今晚我不过来吃晚饭了 Listen, I'm not gonna be able to make dinner tonight.
我大学舍友来了 My college roommate's in town,
我们只有今晚能见上一面 and this is the only night we can get together.
他的名字叫麦克.德尔非诺吗? Oh. Is his name Mike Delfino?
你的室友也是个牛皮大王吗? Did you room together at liars' college?
真的很抱歉 这么晚才通知你 Um, I know it's last-minute, and I'm really sorry,
但我还是很想见你 but I still wanna see you.
要不我晚些再过来 So how about I drop by later? Call me if that's a problem.
如果有问题的话打给我 Yeah, you'll drop by later...
是的 你一会儿再过来 With potato skins on your breath,
满口带着的土豆皮的味道 你这个该死的负心汉 you miserable two-timer!
妈妈 怎么了 What's wrong, mom?
没什么 Nothing.
刚才答录机对妈妈说谎了 Just, the answering machine lied to mommy.
[我发现了一首如你本人般优美的诗 我很想你] []
《恋人述说他心中的玫瑰》 威廉·巴特勒·叶芝的诗]
哦 惨了 Oh, crap on things.
什么惨了 Crap on what things? Um...
波特发了一首情诗给我 Porter sent me a sex poem.
什么 为什么 What? Why?
可能他爱上我了 He may be in love with me.
他怎么会爱上你的 Why would he be in love with you?
好吧 还记得你叫我 Okay... Remember how you told me
别在网上和他聊天吗 I should stop talking to him online?
很明显 我没有 Well, of course, I didn't,
我好象还告诉他我很喜欢他的诗 and I sort of told him I liked his poetry.
你告诉一个男孩你喜欢他的诗 You told a teenage boy that you liked his poetry?
天哪 勒奈特 干嘛不来个视频给他看看胸部 Jeez, Lynette! Why not just flash him a boob?
嘘 他会听见的 那你现在怎么办 Shh! He'll hear you. So what are you gonna do?
准备告诉他真相吗 还是等到他杀了我 并弄瞎自己再说 Are you gonna tell him the truth now, or are you gonna wait until after he kills me and blinds himself?
冷静点 我准备发一封邮件来分手 Calm down. I'm gonna break it off in an e-mail.
真棒 你这么做会伤害他的 Oh, great. Just like that? That'll kill him.
我知道你在向来都是 收到分手信的那个 但我的确写过一些分手信 I know that you have only been on the receiving end of break-up letters, but I've actually written a few,
我知道该怎样平复他 and I know how to let him down easy.
"亲爱的波特 我真的很喜欢你 "Dear Porter, "I really like you,
我还想从其他小孩里选选" but I wanna see other offspring."
走开 Go away.
我有点惊讶 You know, I'm kinda surprised
我们今年依然还在米歇尔的邀请名单中 we still made Michelle's list this year,
很多人都曾与我共事过 what with me working at the club.
别犯傻了 卡洛斯 我们仍在所有人的名单中 Oh, don't be silly, Carlos. We're still on everyone's list.
好 我们走吧 好的 Now let's go. Okay.
加布 我们在宴会大厅里吗 Gaby, are we in the banquet hall?
怎么这么吵 What's all the noise?
工作人员在摆放玻璃杯和银器 Oh, it's just the caterers
当然吵 putting glasses and silverware on the tables.
真是热闹的宴会啊 They make some racket, huh?
艳丽的饰物让我晕眩 But the decorations are stunning.
还有漂亮的人造瀑布 Especially that waterfall effect.
加布 布里 Gaby? Bree!
你应该在厨房才对呀 Shouldn't you be in the kitchen?
别乱走 亲爱的 媒体正在给你拍照 Don't move, honey. The press is taking your photo.
你在这儿干什么 你没被邀请啊 What are you doing here? You were disinvited.
我能搞定这一切 I got it all figured out.
我们悄悄进来 让该见的人都见过后 We duck inside, make sure we're seen by all the right people...
当然除了唐宁夫人 Except Mrs. Downing...
大概20分钟后 我们就撤了 And then after about 20 minutes, we cut out.
好吧 我什么都不知道 别把我扯进来 Well, I know nothing. Just keep me out of it.
卡洛斯在干什么 What is Carlos doing?
他在哪 谁在哪 Where is he? Where is who?
别装不知道 杰克逊 Like you don't know... Jackson.
他不在这儿 Well, he's not here.
真的 那这是谁喝的 Really? Whose is this?
我 我不知道 其他人吧 I... d... I don't know. Some guy's.
"我 我不知道" "I... I don't know"?
那我觉得"其他人" Well, I hope that "some guy"
应该不介意这样吧 doesn't mind this.
别这样 苏珊 真的 我 No, Susan, really, I wouldn't...
女士 你在我的啤酒里摆弄什么 Lady, what are you doing to my beer?
我们已经不是夫妻了 We're not married anymore,
没义务再保护你了 so I don't have to protect you.
我 很抱歉 I am... so sorry.
小姐 Miss?
你能否 Um... could you just...
关照一下我的朋友 Please take good care of my friend?
杰克逊没来见我 Jackson canceled on me.
他说我们一起聚会 让你感觉很不爽 He said you weren't comfortable with us hanging out.
他这么说了 我记得我说了 "喵" He said that? And I think I said, "meow."
我真是个笨女人 I am such a jackass.
你为什么不让我们一起出去玩 So why don't you want us hanging out?
我必须指出 Well, I was pretty ticked off
是因为你告诉杰克逊我耳朵的事情 that you told Jackson about the ear thing.
哦天哪 那次我的确有这么说过 Oh, god. The second I said that, I wished I hadn't.
真希望当时没说过 我很抱歉 I-I'm really sorry.
接受你的道歉 Apology accepted.
那我保证不再那么干了 我们可以碰面吗 So if I promise to behave, can we still hang out?
我觉得这样做对MJ有好处 'Cause I really think it'd be good for M.J.,
大家看起来都是好朋友 just seeing that we're all friends.
我不 I don't...
什么 What?
你和杰克逊走这么近 I'm just not comfortable
我觉得很不舒服 with you and Jackson getting that close.
好吧 Okay.
就是 It's just...
我不要他通过你的视角 来了解我 I don't want him to see me through your eyes.
你认为我对你了解有多少 How exactly do you think I see you?
我们最后相处的几个月里 我 Well, those last few months we were together, I...
我对你说的话 我处事的方式 The things I said to you, the way I acted...
我是指 我对当时的"我" 并不感到自豪 I mean, I'm not proud of the person I became.
那段时间很糟糕 苏珊 That was a bad time, Susan.
我们不再是那样的人了 We're not those people anymore.
你要是真正看到我有多么了解你 And if you could see yourself through my eyes,
你就完全不必再担心了 you'd know you got nothing to worry about.
你能否照顾他一下 Could you please take care of this guy?
他也是我的朋友 He's my friend, too.
真高兴见到你 Boy, am I glad to see you.
你去哪了 Where you been?
出去了 思考人生 Out, uh, doing some thinking.
我决定 And I've decided that I may have gone a little overboard
不再插手你和麦克的事了 about you and Mike.
其实 我觉得要是你和我前夫聚会 挺酷的 In fact, I think it's cool if you wanna hang out with my ex.
小苏苏 Hey, Susie q.!
我刚看了到了"百合花的晨露" Just shakin' the dew off the Lily.
用一句话说 And speaking of,
这副作品非常漂亮 果然宝刀未老 that paint job in the guest can is nice. Kudos.
你在这里干什么 What are you doing here?
朱莉要我来替她办理连署保险的事宜 Well, Julie needed me to cosign some insurance stuff for her,
我想我错过了这里 婚姻破碎的精彩场面 and I guess I lost track of time talking to crunchy granola here.
水管工搬走了 苏珊 Plumber to housepainter in one move, Susie?
继续攀爬社会阶层悠着点儿 别晕了 Don't get dizzy climbin' that social ladder.
拜托你快走 我觉得 Can you leave, please? Just think...
我是这儿的开拓者 我们仍应在一起 感叹啊! 快滚 If I'd been a roofer, we might still be together. Sigh. Get out.
再见了 大沙包 See ya around, hacky sack.
还有什么"前事"我应当了解的 So... any more exes I should know about?
你喜不喜欢米歇尔的派对 Don't you just love Michelle's parties?
真是太有意思了 Oh, they are fun. Mm-hmm.
但我更怀念我和米歇尔面对面共进午餐的场景 But I enjoy my intimate lunches with Michelle even more.
我们经常共进午餐 我们是好朋友 We have intimate lunches. We're friends.
那你下周末定要来参加 泰德画廊的慈善拍卖会 Well, you simply must come to the charity auction at Ted's gallery next weekend.
真的吗 乐意至极 Really? We'd love to.
加布 Gaby!
哇 酒宴承办人来了 Well, it's the caterer!
一切都太妙了 Everything is fabulous.
能给我再加一小杯酒吗 非常乐意 But would you be a dear and get me some more wine? I would be happy to.
但我想确定一下 你喜欢哪种酒 I just want to make sure it's the kind you like.
你怎么还在这里 You're still here?
宴会就要开始了 你坐在谁的座位上 保曼一家 Dinner is about to be served. Whose seats are you in? The bowmans.
我听说保曼太太得流感了 太棒了 I found out Mrs. Bowman is home with the flu. Score!
你别说出去 没事儿的 Oh, will you unclench? It'll be fine.
不不不不这是我的座位 这是我妈妈 No, no, no, no, no. These are my seats. This is my mother.
那是保曼先生 是吗 That was Mr. Bowman, wasn't it?
是的 而且我很确定 Yes, and I'm pretty sure
那个老太太是他的妈妈 that elderly woman with him was his mother!
这男人怎么把老婆留家里 What kind of man leaves his sick wife at home
带老妈过来了 to go party with mommy?!
你能搞定的 出去告诉他们你们坐错台了 You can fix this. Just tell them that you're at the wrong table
然后再从侧门溜出去 好的 and then slip out the side door. Right.
是的 先生 他完全没有 他就是主角 对吗 Yes, sir, he has absolutely no... that was the maître d', wasn't it?
是的 碰巧他正在核对宾客的名单 但我们没有被邀请 Yes, and he appears to be checking the guest list. Which we're not on.
这局面还有救 Okay, you can fix this.
就说你们本来要去俱乐部 Just explain you're going to a different party
后来搞混了 误打误撞来了这里 here at the club and that you got confused.
这样不必惊动唐宁太太 太好了 Mrs. Downing never has to know. Right.
你要离开 出去 You need to leave! Out.
那正是唐宁太太 我该怎么办 That's Mrs. Downing. How am I gonna fix this?
事到如今 唯有大吼大叫地出去了 At this point, I would just run off screaming into the night.
谢谢你的意见 Thank you. Mm-hmm.
手给我放开 Get your hands off me.
加布 加布 Gaby! Gaby!
可怜的盲鬼 Poor blind bastard.
我还是出去找他好了 I'll meet him outside.
什么事 你好啊 伊迪 What? Hi, Edie.
我想说 对你说了那些话之后 我心很不安 I just wanted to say I feel awful about what I said to you.
前几天我说了的那些废话 You know, that crack I made the other day?
好的 Okay.
你挺贴心的 That's nice of you.
你还好吧 Are you all right?
事实上 不好 我的猫走失了 Actually, no. My cat's missing.
托比吗 Toby? Mm-hmm.
什么时候的事 Since when?
他已经出走两天了 以前从没有这样的情况 It's been two days, and he's never been out this long.
真替你难过 Oh, I'm so sorry.
我相信他会没事的 I'm sure he's fine.
是的 Yeah. Well...
能帮我向大卫转告一声 Could you tell Dave...
跟他说我道歉了 我们冰释前嫌了 Tell him I apologized? And, uh, you and I are good, huh?
没问题 I guess I could.
为什么要转告 尽管告诉他就好 麻烦了 Why do you want him... Oh, just tell him, please.
真不敢相信你会耍这样的花招 I cannot believe you pulled a stunt like that.
怎么了 我只是尽力 再融入社交生活而已 What? I was just trying to salvage what's left of our social life.
现在 也别提了 Now just let it go
倒不如想想现在我们该去哪里 and start thinking about where we're gonna move.
加布 我不是跟你开玩笑的 他们是我的客户 This is not a joke, Gaby. I work with these people.
我明天还要见到他们 这脸丢尽了 I have to show my face tomorrow. It's humiliating.
想知道什么才是真丢人吗 You wanna know what's humiliating?
一觉醒来 发现自己是个可有可无的人 Waking up one day and finding out you're invisible.
真的 我什么都没了 Now it's official. I've lost everything.
一切 Everything?
首先是没钱 然后是身材走样 First our money, then my figure,
现在 连最后的社会地位也没了 now the last shreds of our social standing.
我们什么也没有失去 We haven't lost a thing
要数的话 就是少了个和可怜势利鬼攀谈的机会 except the chance to hobnob with a bunch of unhappy snobs.
可怜 你什么意思 What do you mean, they're unhappy?
他们腰缠万贯 有珠宝 有私厨 They're rich! They have jewels and cooks.
他们可以环游世界 They use "winter" as a verb.
我帮他们按摩 加布 I rub them, Gaby,
一个盲按摩师 什么事都听在心里 and there is nothing that a blind masseur doesn't hear about.
相信我 Trust me.
他们和当年追名逐利的我 They are every bit as miserable as I was
如出一辙 同样悲惨 when I was out there chasing that stuff.
我们失去的都无关要紧 We have lost nothing that matters.
我们有家庭 我们共偕连理 We have a home, we have each other,
我们工作 自力更生 we have work that supports us,
我们有两个爱我们 and we have two beautiful little girls that...
甚于雪糕的可爱女儿 Love us more than ice cream.
我从未感到如此幸福过 I've never been happier in my life.
你真的这么想的吗 Are you serious?
当然 Yes,
若要我更感欣慰 就是 and the only thing that would make me happier
你也能明白这个道理 is for you to realize how good we've got it.
"能和你谈心 实属荣幸 "I have never talked to such a wonderful guy,
早该告诉你 我已心有所属" but I should've told you I'm already seeing somebody..."
以下省略几万字 Blah, blah, blah...
"随心所指 梦能成真" "Continue to trust your heart, and your dreams will follow."
哇 勒奈特 Wow, Lynette.
这是最棒的断交信了 Best dear John letter ever.
谢谢 Uh... thanks.
除了要改改后面的署名 Except you might wanna change that part
那句 "爱你的 妈妈" 什么 我才没那么写 where you signed it "love, mom." What? No I didn't.
是啊 你就是那样写的 Yeah, you did...
在这呢 Right there.
你已经发了 You sent it?!
我的天啊 神啊 Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
我的天啊 天啊 天啊 Oh, my god! Oh, my god! Oh, my god!
你怎么不跟我说 说了 Why didn't you say something?! I did!
你不是大力表扬的吗 真会狡辩 汤姆 You said it was great. Way to Bury the lead, Tom!
汤姆 你敢 Tom, don't you dare!
保存性命是革命的本钱 Hey, one of needs to live to take care of the other one.
天啊 Oh! Oh, god.
嗨 Hey.
我可以坐下来吗 Mind if I join you?
我知道我的所作所为... Okay, I know what I did...
不可原谅 Was unforgivable.
我也不是来为自己开脱的 但 And I am not trying to make excuses, but...
我们以前总是无话不谈 We used to talk all the time,
不知某天起 我们之间没了话题 and then one day it just stopped,
我心里很不是滋味 and it killed me.
感觉跟你没了默契 I felt like I lost you.
我装成别人 默契又再次建立 And then I was saraj, and I had you back,
我们有了话题 你尽情畅谈 and we were talking again, and you were telling me things.
我不是和你畅谈 I wasn't telling you anything.
是和她 I was telling her.
好的 Okay.
无论如何 Well, for what it's worth,
我喜欢和你聊天 I loved our conversations,
我会怀念那些对话的 and I'm... Going to miss them.
我也是 Me, too.
奥森 你还没睡 Orson, you're still up.
你真希望你也在现场 Oh, I wish you could've been there.
琳达·弗拉纳根喜欢我做的菜 Linda Flanagan loved my food.
她评价它为上帝的恩赐 She said I was "god's gift to the table"
我打算把这句话印在新书的封面上 and that I could quote her on the book jacket.
你还好吧 Are you all right?
我饿了 I'm hungry.
这都半夜了 你还没吃吗 It's after midnight. Haven't you eaten?
我在等你呢 你说了要给我做炖肉的 I was waiting for you. You said you'd make me pot roast.
抱歉 我都忘了时间了 I am so sorry. I-I lost all track of time,
linda问了我很多关于食物的问题 and Linda had so many questions about the food.
明天再给你做吧 好吗 不行 I'll make you that pot roast tomorrow, okay? No.
我现在就要吃 I want it now.
现在 Now?
你答应我的 You promised.
奥森 我在厨房忙了一天 Orson, I've been cooking all day.
我很累 脚也站不直了 I... I'm so tired, I can barely stand up.
你真的要我现在给你做炖肉吗 You really want me to make you a pot roast now?
你答应过的 You promised.
托比 Toby!
你在哪里冒出来的 Where in the world did you come from, huh?
没错 好邻居人人喜欢 Yes, everyone appreciates a good neighbor...
那个辛勤帮你拿杂货的人 You know, the kind that helps you with the groceries...
却不过问"为何你儿子闷闷不乐" But doesn't ask, "why is your son so moody?"
那个把发错的邮件送到府上的人 The type that delivers misplaced mail
却不告知 你太太似乎满腹牢骚 but doesn't point out your wife seems discontented...
主动要求帮忙修剪草坪的人 The sort that offers to mow your lawn...
却只字不提 你那冷酷的丈夫 But doesn't mention your husband seems cold.
如若你不确定 住在隔壁的人 But if you're not sure the man next door
是否名副其实的好邻居 is as nice as he would have you believe...
怎么突然送我花啊 Now why would you bring me flowers?
因为你家有电脑 'Cause you've got a computer,
我想借来查查伊迪丈夫的底细 and I need to find out some stuff about Edie's husband.
尽你所能地去了解他 Do everything you can to get to know him better.
