Shopkeeper¹: Let me introduce² you to someone³. This is Mrs. Humphries. I saw⁴ her in a window in a tiny⁵ shop in ohio and fell⁶ in love, and the more time we spent together,the more I got⁷ to know her story.

Gaby: Her story?

Gaby: And she... Told you that?

Gaby: Isn't it... Funny how a doll can do that?

Shopkeeper: And the best thing is,they'll never leave you.

店员：我给你做个介绍，这是Humphries夫人。我在俄亥俄一家小店的橱窗看见她，我爱上了她。和她相处越久，我就越了解她的故事。

加比：她的故事?

店员：当然啦，每个娃娃都有故事，而Humphries夫人有自己的生意，像我一样。她有个音乐店，她教钢琴。

加比：她告诉你的吗？

店员：加比，娃娃不会说话的，即便如此，Humphries夫人永远守护着我。她的姊妹和我的差不多同时去世了，从那以后，她给了我莫大的快乐。

加比：真有趣，娃娃有这功能。

店员：最大的优点是，她们永远不会离开你。
