听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Pairing Off - 9

Dad?
Learn her name.
Yes, sir.
As for you. Rebecca, her name was Rebecca.
Is that all you know about her?
Not too much more I guess.
Does that make you feel good?
No, it doesn't.
Eric, every once in a while, let your brain in on what the rest of you is doing.
Are you two both clear on this?
But if I can't use Eric's method, then how do I get a girl to say hi?
Cory?
Yeah?
What do you know about girls before your brother's excellent advice?
I didn't know anything.
Why don't you just go with that?

--------------------------------------------------

Um, ready to go?
Look, are you feeling a little funny about this?
You mean about going out on a date?
Yeah. Because we don't even know each other.
A little funny. so do you wanna, like, not go out on a date?
Yeah, it doesn't feel right.
I understand.
But we should still get to know each other.
Ah, that would be nice.
Yeah, because then in case we ever did wanna go out, well, we'd know each other.
So, um. How do you wanna get to know each other?
Well, we could go somewhere and talk, if you don't have something else to do.
Well, I did. But, um, now I'm suddenly free.
Great, let's go.
So what, what do you wanna talk about?
Well, um, do you know my name?
Um...
It's Wendy.
Wendy... Wendy?
Yeah.
Hi.
Hi.

--------------------------------------------------

A lot of homework?
Yeah, a lot. You?
Yeah.
Look, Cory, I know I've been forbidden to give you any advice on any subject ever again. So, if there's any information you'd like to voluntarily¹ offer about the current² events IN your life, I'm listening.
How was my date?
Yeah.
I had a real good time.
So what was your technique?
Look, I know you know everything there is to know about women, and I don't know anything. So I did what I do best. I was real nervous and I nodded a lot.
Did she like that?
I don't know, but when we were done, I asked her if she maybe wanted to go out again. She said, yeah, I would.
Cool. Cory, so how did you nod? I mean was it like this?
