【跟着美剧练发音】Gossip Girl43

文本：

B: James is the classiest guy I've ever met, you know?

He drinks Gin Martinis, and he speaks six languages,

and he gave me this amazing Bulgari Pearl¹ choker with a gold "B" clasp² on it.

S: Wait, I thought your dad gave you that. who's James? Oh, my god, B. He sounds amazing. The last time we talked, um... you hadn't even met him.

B: Oh, I know! he swept me off my feet. He's so charming. Plus, he tells the best stories.

C: You're lying.

B: I am not.

C: Your eyes are doing that thing where they don't match your mouth.

B: I wasn't aware that robots got jealous.

Did they update your software while I was away?

C: Come on. You and I both know this guy's just a prop³ you bought to try to hurt me like I hurt you.

B: You didn't hurt me. Well, I will admit, waiting for you in Tuscany the first few days were mildly humiliating.

But when I realized you weren't gonna show, I rallied⁴.

Luckily, I made a friend on the trip over.

C: Boring Ben-- my dad's ex-employee?

B: By the way, I had him fired just for you. Well, I owe him everything. He introduced me to James.

You know, I think he might be the one.

C: Prove it. 

B: I don't have to prove anything.

But if you want to get to know James better, I'll bring him to dinner tonight.

I'll bet you'll like him just as much as I do.

C: Oh, and if by that you mean I won't like him at all then you're right. I'll see you at 7:00.
