听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Who's Afraid of Cory Wolf? -2

Mr. Matthews, I wouldn't be taking out that garbage if I were you.
I had to, it was starting to move.
Haven't you heard?
I haven't heard anything, I live upstairs.
Well, it seems that a wolf escaped from the Philadelphia Zoo. Authorities believe that it may be somewhere in our area.
A wolf? Out here in the burbs?
Yes, probably looking for better schools.
So how come your taking your garbage back inside the house?
Wolves have a keen sense of smell. The garbage would only attract them.
So your plan is to lure¹ them into your living room?
Scoff² if you will, but as the acting³ head of the Neighborhood Watch, I have duly warned you.
And that's when I heard the rustling⁴.
Hello, anybody there? Eric? Eric and a girl? Morgan? Oh, boy, you are not Morgan. Ah!

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

Come on, there is no way you were bitten by a wolf.
Shawn, what else could it have been? Look at the bite.
I don't see anything.
Of course you don't. Everybody knows werewolf bites heal overnight.
Wow, then, you are covered with them. So you are really turning into a werewolf?
Well, I didn't think so until I woke up this morning.
