James walks by Jess’ desk
Jess: Don't open any of my forwards! I got a virus!
James:Don't tell me you got the dreaded Bush virus. I've heard that that bug is threatening to infect the world.
Jess: Yes, that's exactly the bug I got. Though, I do kind of like the pictures.

詹姆士走过洁丝的办公桌
洁 丝：别打开我转寄的信！我中毒了！
詹姆士：别跟我说你中了可怕的布什病毒。我听说那个病毒正威胁要蔓延到全世界。
洁 丝：对，我就是中这个毒。不过，我倒还挺喜欢这些照片的。
詹姆士：（看一眼）这些衣服还真的比较适合他。
洁 丝：等等——这些照片有版权吗？
