听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Pairing Off - 5

Don't go, Rebecca.

Sorry, I really don't feel like being here anymore.

You haven't seen the whole house, I mean, let me take you to the roof.

Actually, Eric, I think it's nice we didn't go any further than we did. Thank you.

No problem.

Why don't we just study together like we planned?

I need to study alone.

So I'll see you Friday?

No.

Ok, then.

So, what's new?

I'm gonna kill you.

I have you.

I'm gonna kill you and I'm gonna bring you back to life and I'm gonna kill you again.

I have you.

What? What do you have? You have what I have. Nothing!

You, my boy, were in mom and dad's bed. Ho, what was that? The sound of power suddenly shifting?

Nothing happened.

Yeah, and it didn't happen in mom and dad 's bed. I have you.

Hey, Cor, buddy¹. I'm not gonna kill you. I mean that was one of those whacky brother-to-brother murder threats.

Yeah, listen! I'd like you to do something for me.

Anything you need.

Tell me how you do it.

What I was doing with Rebecca?

No, no, what you were doing with Rebecca, I don't have the lung capacity for that. I just wanna know: how do you get a girl to say hi?

Oh, you are wasting my time.

I have you.

Now, ordinarily I wouldn't reveal my fool-proof method. But I know I can count on my favorite little brother to keep it a secret?

I'm listening.

Ok, you got eyes?

Yeah?

Use them.

How?

Look at her, look into her, look through her, I mean make her think she is the most exquisite² thing your eyes've ever beheld³.

Who her?

Who cares. Pick somebody.

Well, how do I pick?

You got eyes?

I thought we have established that.

Make eye contact and make her eyes believe that your eyes are interested in her.

So I have to be interested in her?

No, you're overachieving, you only have to make her think you are.
