听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》Kid Gloves - 8

Mr. Matthews! Mr. Matthews! Mr. Matthews!

Uh-oh.

Mr. Matthews! Didn't you hear a word I said today? Diving alone is not only stupid, it's dangerous. There isn't even a lifeguard on duty. This is gotta be the most half-baked idea you've ever had!

No, no, it was fully¹ baked.

Look, Mr. Feeny, you have to listen to me. I lost my father's silver gloves, and I have to find them.

You're dripping² on my oxfords. Now, put your clothes on and go home!

Cory! Thank God, you are alive! Oh, now, I'm gonna kill you!

I'm sorry, mom. Dad, I'm sorry. I lost your silver gloves. I didn't know how important they were to you.

Mr. Feeny just called and said you snuck into the wire and you were diving by yourself.

Is that true?

Well, I tried to find the gloves.

Cory, I don't care about those gloves.

Dad, yes, you do, you know you do.

Yes, I care about them, and that's why I gave them to you, and when I was young and in the navy³, they were the most important thing in the world to me. But now, I don't care if I lose those silly gloves, I care if I lose you! Huh, you understand that?

Maybe it's best if I never leave home. Bad things only happen when I leave.

Alan, he's grounding himself, don't let him take that away from us.

Sorry, mom. Go ahead and ground away.

Why don't you just go upstairs, dry off and go to bed?
