听电影学英语:革命之路1

 　　[01:35.16]- So, what do you do? - I’m studying to be an actress. You?

 

　　[01:40.08]- I’m a longshoreman. - No, I mean, really.

 

　　[01:43.84]I mean really, too.

 

　　[01:45.76]Although, starting next Monday,

 

　　[01:46.88]I’m doing something a little more glamorous¹.

 

　　[01:48.60]What’s that?

 

　　[01:49.72]Night cashier at a cafeteria.

 

　　[01:52.92]I don’t mean how you make money. I mean, what are you interested in?

 

　　[01:58.68]Honey, if I had the answer to that one,

 

　　[02:01.04]I bet I’d bore us both to death in half an hour.

 

　　[02:42.40]Thank God that’s over.

 

　　[02:45.92]So much for the debut² of the Laurel Players.

 

　　[02:49.88]And she was very disappointing.

 

　　[02:59.32]- Frank! Very nice, Frank! - Thanks so much, Mrs Givings.

 

　　[03:03.48]I can’t tell you how much we enjoyed it. You have a very talented wife.

 

　　[03:07.00]I’ll pass it along.

 

　　[03:20.44]- Frank! - Hi!

 

　　[03:23.80]She’s in there. I’m about ready for that drink.

 

　　[03:26.84]Couple of minutes.

 

　　[03:37.60]April? Sweetheart?

 

　　[03:42.84]- Hi. - Hi.

 

　　[03:45.24]- You about ready to leave? - Yeah. Yeah.

 

　　[03:47.00]I’ve just got to get this makeup³ off.

 

　　[03:56.36]Well, I guess it wasn’t a triumph or anything, was it?

 

　　[04:02.36]- I guess not. I’ll be ready in a minute. - Take your time.

 

　　[04:10.76]Listen, will you do me a favour?

 

　　[04:12.76]Milly and Shep wanted us to go out with them after.

 

　　[04:15.64]Will you say we can’t? Say it’s because of the babysitter or something.

 

　　[04:19.08]Well, the thing is, I already said that we could.

 

　　[04:21.04]I mean, I just saw them and I said that we would.

 

　　[04:23.04]Then would you mind going out again and saying you were mistaken?

 

　　[04:25.16]That should be simple enough.

 

　　[04:26.32]Don’t you think that’s a little bit rude, April?

 

　　[04:28.12]- Then I’ll tell them myself. - Okay. Okay. Take it easy.

 

　　[04:30.92]All right? I’ll tell them.

 

　　[05:12.80]I mean it, baby. You were the only person in that play.

 

　　[05:16.12]Thank you.

 

　　[05:19.96]We shouldn’t have let you get mixed up in the damned thing, is all.

 

　　[05:22.92]All right.

 

　　[05:24.96]What a bunch of amateurs. I mean, you’ve studied, for Christ’s sake.

 

　　[05:28.56]Could we stop talking about it now?

 

　　[05:29.96]Sure.

 

　　[05:32.88]I just don’t want you feeling bad about it, that’s all.

 

　　[05:35.36]Because it’s not worth it, you know.

 

　　[05:37.44]It’s bad enough having to live out here amongst these people...

 

　　[05:40.96]- What’d you say? - I said yes. All right, Frank.

 

　　[05:43.16]Could you just stop talking about it now before you drive me crazy, please?

 

　　[05:52.08]What are you doing?

 

　　[06:02.32]April, sweetheart, let’s talk about this, okay?

 

　　[06:05.60]- No, Frank, please don’t do that. - Come on, now.

 

　　[06:08.32]- Don’t touch me. - April...

 

　　[06:10.24]Just leave me alone.

 

　　[06:18.88]Okay. Okay.

 

　　[06:21.76]It strikes me that there’s a considerable amount of bullshit going on here.

 

　　[06:25.84]And there’s just a few things that I’d like to clear up. All right?

 

　　[06:28.92]Number one, it’s not my fault that the play was lousy. Okay?

 

　　[06:33.44]Number two, it sure as hell isn’t my fault

 

　　[06:35.68]that you didn’t turn out to be an actress,

 

　　[06:38.04]and the sooner you get over that little piece of soap opera,

 

　　[06:40.36]the better off we’re both going to be.

 

　　[06:41.60]Number three, I don’t happen to fit the role

 

　　[06:44.32]of dumb, insensitive suburban⁴ husband.

 

　　[06:47.20]You’ve been trying to lay that crap on me ever since we moved out here.

 

　　[06:50.20]And I’m damned if I’ll wear it.

 

　　[06:51.52]Number four... April? April!

 

　　[06:58.32]April.

 

　　[06:59.92]What the hell are you doing? Get back in the car.

 

　　[07:02.04]No. I will in a minute. Just let me stand here for a second.

 

　　[07:05.68]God damn it!

 

　　[07:10.48]April, can you please just get back in the car and talk about this

 

　　[07:14.20]instead of running all over Route 12?

 

　　[07:15.68]Haven’t I made it clear I don’t particularly want to talk about it?

 

　　[07:18.28]Okay. I mean, Jesus, I’m trying to be nice

 

　　[07:20.12]about this thing here, for God’s sake.

 

　　[07:22.08]How kind of you. How terribly, terribly kind of you.

 

　　[07:25.12]Wait a minute. I don’t deserve this.

 

　　[07:26.64]You’re always so wonderfully definite

 

　　[07:28.28]on the subject of what you do and don’t deserve.

 

　　[07:30.00]Wait a minute! Wait a goddamn... April! Now you listen to me.

 

　　[07:34.44]This is one time you’re not going to get away

 

　　[07:36.44]with twisting everything that I say, April.

 

　　[07:38.48]This just happens to be one goddamn time

 

　　[07:40.64]I know I’m not in the wrong here.

 

　　[07:42.36]Christ, I wish you’d stayed home tonight.

 

　　[07:43.88]You know what you are when you’re like this, April?

 

　　[07:45.20]You’re sick. I really mean that.

 

　　[07:46.64]- You’re sick! What? - And do you know what you are?

 

　　[07:49.00]- You’re disgusting. - Oh, yeah?

 

　　[07:50.36]You don’t fool me, Frank.

 

　　[07:51.68]Just because you’ve got me safely in this little trap,

 

　　[07:53.76]you think you can bully⁵ me into feeling whatever you want me to feel!

 

　　[07:56.24]- You in a trap? You in a trap? - Yes! Yes! Me, Frank!

 

　　[07:58.76]- Jesus Christ, don’t make me laugh! - Me!

 

　　[08:01.64]You pathetic, self-deluded little boy. Look at you!

 

　　[08:05.08]Look at you and tell me, how by any stretch of the imagination

 

　　[08:08.60]you can call yourself a man?

 

　　[08:13.28]Damn it!

 

　　[08:15.20]Jesus Christ!

 

　　[08:31.80]- Don’t look at me like that, April. - Could we please go home now?
