 E: You want to --ugh-- give me a hand, please?

J: Little busy here.

E: Ok. Fine. Then you are on decoration duty. It's Bonnie's birthday.

J: I know what today is.

E: Then you know how she would wanted us to spend it. She would wanted us to celebrate by cooking her favourite foods, watch her favourite movies.

J: So we're throwing a birthday party where the guest of honor¹ never shouws up. That's not depressing².

E: Or we could celebrate you going to art school. Oh, wait. We can't. Because I found your application in the garbage. Why didn't you tell me that you were thinking about going to art school?

J: I'm not. The only class I'm passing is study hall. They'll never let me in.

E: Jer, I've seen your portfolio³. You're good.

J: Doesn't matter. I'm not leaving without knowing if Bonnie's ok or not.

E：你能帮我个忙吗？

J：正忙着呢

E：好吧，那你就负责装饰了，今天是Bonnie的生日

J：我知道今天是什么日子

E：那你也就知道她希望我们怎么来度过它。她希望我们做她爱吃的东西，看她爱看的电影

J：所以我们要办一个寿星根本不可能出现的派对吗？那可真是一点都不压抑啊

E：或者我们也可以庆祝你去艺术学校。哦不，我们不能。因为你把申请表扔垃圾桶了。你为什么不告诉我你打算去艺术学校呢？

J：我不会去的。我唯一没挂的就自习课，他们不会同意我的申请的。

E：Jer, 我看过你的作品，你很棒。

J：无所谓了。在知道Bonnie的死活之前我是不会离开的。
