听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》Kid Gloves - 4

Hello, I am your partner. What's that for? Seeing other submarines?

For breathing, didn't you ever go snorkeling?

No, never, did you?

Sure, my bathtub. You can totally see things growing down there.

You know, I was meant for this underwater life, because I am scuba-boy!

What?

Man, Corry, you are the whitest white boy I have ever seen.

Oh, yeah? Let's see what you've got.

Think I'm afraid to take my shirt off?

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

Here, I got nothing to hide.

I'm thinking that, too.

Yeah, let me warn you, I have been working out. I have pumped me up!

How come you're wearing a shirt?

Well, 'cause otherwise, I look like you.

It's not very evolved to ridicule² the human form. Each of our bodies is the master creation of Mother Nature.

Well, except for Minkus. He was created by Mother Goose.

Anybody ready for a dip?

Yep, and here he comes!

Minkus, you look like a stick of juicy fruits.

You're wearing a wet suit too, Mother Nature?

No. What's the matter? No funny remarks?

Er, you got anything?

I got nothing.

Er, you got anything?

Snap out of it. She's just a girl in a bathing suit. Insult her!

No, from now on, I'm gonna be insulting you!
