菲比：因为我，我奶奶从来没有出过水痘。千万别告诉你没出过，因为，我都忘了你有多帅了。

瑞恩：对不起，我真的没出过。如果能我许个愿，我希望造个时间机器，让我回到7岁那年，当时吉米·哈瑟出水痘，我就可以抱住他往我脸上擦了。
Phoebe: Yeah, or you know, you could just wish that I didn’t have them now2.
菲比：对，或者，你只要许愿说我现在没出水痘。
Ryan: Can I please see your face?
瑞恩：让我看看你的脸吧？
Phoebe: Nope⑤. You don’t want to see a face covered with⑥ pox.
菲比：不要，你不会希望看见我长满水痘的脸的。
