【小龟乐游记】奇异人生（25）

文本：

Chloe: BOO-YAH! Get it, BOO-yah? Like I'm a scary punk ghost...

Max: More like a scary punk asshole. Hey Chloe, I didn't exactly have the greatest day trying to keep my friend from jumping off the roof. I don't think I need you to _(1)_ me tonight, 'kay?

Chloe: Sorry, but you absolutely balls to the walls did save your friend!

Max: Kate saved herself. I couldn't even use my power... my head felt like it was being crushed... Then I had no clue what to say to her on that roof.

Chloe: Don't be so modest, rock star. Kate is alive because of you. You obviously said the right thing... And your badass power is going two save us all. We just need to connect the players.

Max: And find out who almost killed Kate. We have to stop this from happening to anybody else.

Chloe: Oh yeah, and somehow stop that tornado¹ from wiping out Arcadia Bay... right?

Max: I hope so, Chloe... but how? Snow and eclipse² are bad omens³.

Chloe: This whole town is a bad _(2)_. And notice that Blackwell seems to be ground zero.

Max: Chloe. I just feel weird⁴ about some of my decisions... Especially after I see the results... and then it's too late to rewind.

Chloe: Dude, do not even torture yourself like that. Let's focus on looking for clues, okay?

Max: We need to find out more about who Rachel was involved with around here.

Chloe: She was able to blend in with everybody. Even with people I hated.

Max: And even though I don't know her, it feels like Rachel is guiding us to the truth...

Chloe: Fuck the truth, I just want to find my friend right now... It scares me to think where she could be... Do you think she's...

Max: Kicking it in Los Angeles? That would be the best-case scenario⁵...

Chloe: She wouldn't leave without me, okay? And how often do missing girls turn up? We have to find Rachel soon. We have to...

Max: I promise you we will. Like you said, it's time to start the search for clues. Now tell me, what's your secret?

Chloe: Drum roll please... I present the spare kays to Blackwell. Thank you, step-prick.

Max: You are such a boss, Chloe. I just don't want you to get into any more trouble...

Chloe: Look at all the trouble dropping in Arcadia Bay. At this point, who gives a fuck anymore? We're ___(3)___ , Max. Lead the way...

Max: I'm so glad you're my partner in crime.

Chloe: As long as you're my partner in time.

Max: Insert groan⁶ here...

 

Victoria: Thank you again so much for helping⁷ me put together a portfolio⁸.

Mr. Jefferson: Hopefully the rest of the class will follow your lead. I'm sorry I was distracted⁹. As you know, it has not been a good day for Blackwell.

Victoria: I know this has been an awful day and you can talk to me anytime, Mr. Jefferson.

Mr. Jefferson: Thank you, Victoria. I'm glad it had a relatively¹⁰ happy ending.

Victoria: I don't know what I would have done if Katie jumped...

Mr. Jefferson: "Katie"? I had no idea ____(4)____ ... did she?

Victoria: Well... how does this affect the "Everyday Heroes" contest?

Mr. Jefferson: It doesn't. The contest is still a go and I still have to pick the winner to best represent Blackwell. I've got all the photos except one from Max...

Victoria: I'll give you a one-word sneak¹¹ preview of Max's photo--selfie. Listen, you've seen my entry, you know it's better than that. Wouldn't that be so cool to hang out together in San Francisco, Mark?

Mr. Jefferson: Stick to Mr. Jefferson, Victoria. Please? And, uh... I haven't picked a winner yet.

Victoria: You already love my work, so it's not like you're playing favorites. Just imagine if you picked my photo though... we would have to spend a lot of time together. That could be... fun, don't you think?

Mr. Jefferson: I'm going to think that you didn't say any of that.

Victoria: You might as well choose me... otherwise I might have to tell people you offered to choose my photo for favors or something...

Mr. Jefferson: As a favor to your future, I'll also ignore that undisguised _(5)_ . This conversation is officially over, Miss Chase, I suggest you go back to your dorm now.

Victoria: Wait, I only... Are you fucking kidding me? So stupid.

Max: Just when I think Victoria can't get any more evil.

Chloe: Shit is about to get real at Blackwell.

Max: Let's go find out.
