 文本：

E：Lydia, hi.

     How are you? It's been a long time

 

L：Not that long. I want my house back.

 

E：Pardon me.

 

L：This cottage is one of the few things that still connects me to the life that I lose the weekend that I met you.

I hand-picked nearly every piece of decor in this place.

 

E：And your taste is impeccable, which is exactly why I paid double the asking price to make sure it came fully¹ furnished.

 

L：I'm contesting the sale.

     I was technically² on the deed, and in spite of waht you syumbled  on to between me and Conrad at the Southfork Inn, my ex-husband had no legal right to sell.

 

E：I'm sorry for what happened to you ,Lydia.

     And I get that you're upset, but the money from the sale should more than compensate³ for your loss.

 

L：And what could a girl like you possibly know about loss.

 

E：If you want to gave me your new address, I'd be happy to pack up a few things for you and ship them.

 

L：I'm not here to get my things back.

     I'm here to get my life back.

    And no one, least of all a nosy⁴ troublemaker⁵ with a penchant⁶ for turning my words upside down, is gonna get in the way of that.

    We all have our Southfork Inn, Emily.

     I just made it my mission to find yours.
