LH: 我知道！你说过要在天黑以前到啊，就必须 9 点前出发．我只要再几分钟就好啦。

LH: 哎哟，好啦好啦，你别催我啦！对了． Larry，我们可不可以先去吃个早餐啊？
LL: I don't want to stop right after we hit the road. You can have a snack⁸ now and then we'll stop for lunch.
LH: 什么啊？你要我先吃点零食，等到中午才吃午饭啊？可是我现在好饿喔！而且啊我家里什么吃的都没有啦。
LL: How about this: If you can be ready to hit the road in five minutes, then we can stop for breakfast. Otherwise⁹, you're just going to have to wait until¹⁰ lunch.
LH: 你怎么还要讲条件啊！五分钟内出发我就能吃早饭，否则就得等到中午再吃饭．没问题，我啊只要三分钟就够了。

LL: Sorry, I missed the turn. We can turn around and go back. There's no need to have a hissy fit.
LH: 你在说什么啊？ Have a hissy fit？那是什么意思啊？
LL: To have a hissy fit means to get really upset¹¹ about something and throw a tantrum.
LH: To have a hissy fit 就是发脾气的意思．我没有生气啦，我只是以为你是故意不去麦当劳的嘛。
LL: Well, look, I'm going to stop. See? You're going to get what you want, so there is no need to have a hissy fit.
LH: 我跟你说了我没有生气嘛！你干嘛一直这样说我啊？
LL: Oh great. Now, you're going to have a hissy fit because I asked you not to have a hissy fit.
LH: 吔，等等等等，你在说什么啊？我发脾气是因为你叫我别发脾气？你都把我搞胡涂了啦。
LL: Yeah, let's just forget about the whole¹² thing and go get some breakfast. I'm actually¹³ a little hungry, too.
