145. Maggie: Carol, I was just upstairs in the attic.
146. Carol: Hey that's great. Mom.
147. Maggie: All the cheese’s gone, and all traps are sprung. But There's no mice in them.
148. Carol: Really?
149. Maggie: Carol, I have nothing personally against these mice. It's just my children's health is more important to me than theirs is.
166. Mike: Hey, Boner. You're a real funny guy.
167. Eddie: Hey, Mike. Listen, maybe you and your Dad could double with me and my Dad some night. Mike, you can tell us.
168. Boner: Did you get lucky or was that goodnight kiss all you got?
169. Carol: You guys are a lot funnier since your labotomeys.
170. Eddie: Wow, what a family! A guy dates his dad and gets his little sister to stick up for him. This could make the news too. What a guy, we’re buddies! I love this guy.
171. Carol: Come on Ben. I need your help. The mice need your help.
172. Ben: I’m just not political.
173. Carol: Ben, there comes a time when principle alone demands we take a stand. I give you a quarter.
174. Ben: A dollar.
175. Carol: 50 cents?
176. Ben: Save the mice.
177. C&B: Release the rodents.
178. Maggie: Ok, ok. I give up, you win. Here.
179. Carol: Harm-free mouse hotels, your mouse checks in and doesn't check out until you find it a more suitable environment.
195. Jason: You know I paid a lot of money for those tickets and that was so you could go to the concert. I think you’re being a little self-absorbed about this.
196. Mike: I'm being self-absorbed? Dad. You gave me noogies on the Evening News.
197. Jason: Well some people's parents' lock them in a closet for seven years. You got it real rough. Your father likes you. Yeah, grosse. quooties. I was showing my feelings for you, Mike.
198. Mike: You have feelings for Mom too. You don’t go showing them infront of the whole tri-state area. Dad, you just don't know I mean the guys in school.
199. Jason: Come on, Mike. What do you care what those guys say.
200. Mike: It is easy for you to say. You just don't know what's it like. I mean they laughed at
me cause I went with you. But I defended you. I said my dad's a cool guy. And then what do you do? You slobbered all over me on the News Line New York.
201. Jason: Alright, ok. Mike, I am sorry. Maybe we shouldn't have gone to the concert together.
202. Mike: It's not what I am saying.
203. Jason: Maybe you should've taken a girl.
204. Mike: Dad, you’re not listening to me. Look, I’m taking a big risk by telling you this, but I actually like doing stuff with you. I do, I mean. I was sitting there and watching Springsteen with my Dad, and a lot of other people's parents don't even know what Springsteen is. And all
through the concert I was thinking. Hey, you know this is really great, yeah. 205. Jason: Well, you know I was thinking pretty much the same thing. 206. Mike: Maybe that the way we can both think that, without letting the entire free world, in on it. 207. Jason: Well, I guess I did lose control a little? Ok, a lot. 208. Mike: That's all right, Dad. I guess Bruce does have that affect on people. I guess maybe next time we should see someone a little less dynamic. 209. Jason: Well I hear the Osmonds are coming to town. 210. Mike: Yeah, I love this guy. 211. Mike: Guys I’m telling you it does not compare with seeing him live 212. Jason: Mike, Mike, your mother and I are in the next room we’re trying to read. You guys think you could turn down that…Turn down, whatever that is? 沪江英语编辑部

Fred: Oh no I don't want to....
Jason: No, no, I insist. You two have work to do together.Fred: It’s very nice of you, Jason. Mags, I didn’t tell you. Two of these goons tried to muscle me when I was in East Town. Jason: Must have been some big goons.
Mike: Come on, Carol, why can’t you just write this essay for me? Carol: Because it’s your assignmentMike: Yeah but you'd do a better job, I mean, look, you’re standing on principle and the result
Mike: No. You know, Dad no matter how many times I ask neighbours to please climb out of
Jason: Don’t be a wise guy, Mike. Carol, what time does your watch say? Carol: En, ten o three. Why? Is yours broken?Jason: No, no, It says ten o two. Just thought it might have stopped Mike: Apparently it did Dad. But it sounds like you've nipped it in the bud.

Carol and Mike: Ooooh!
Maggie: Hi! Everybody! M&C: Hi! Mom!Jason: Maggie! I didn't even hear your car door slam. Maggie: Well, eh, I’ll try and do it louder next time. Well guys, how’re things going? What did you do today?Mike: Well, I went …Jason: Nothing! They’re children. They have boring uneventful lives. How was your day? Tell us about that story. Maggie:
I’m sorry our lunch got turned into a work session.
Jason:You’re kidding. That was great for me. That was shocking for me to discover how little I knew about sludge. What about the East Town dump? Maggie: Oh, honey! I am really bushed. I’d rather not even think about that stuff for a while. Ok?Jason: Ok! Sure! Mike: Oh, Dad. Don’t forget to tell her Fred just called.
tomorrow if it means working through the night. Oh, I just cannot wait to nail those creeps.
Maggie: Fred? Hi. Ah, you're kidding?
Jason: So how did everyone enjoy my first forein in the wonderful world of pancakes?Mike:Dad, beat the heck out of your forein in the wonderful world of liver.
Mike: Ben, when Dad was in the third grade they didn’t have science. In fact when Dad was in
Jason: Mike, they say the sense of humour is the final stage of child develpoment. You ought to feel it coming on any time now.Yes, Ben, I did a wonderful project in third grade. I grew mould on bread.
Jason: Yes. Yes. I determined that mould( 霉菌）would grow faster on white bread than on pumpernickel Jason: I think I should strike out in new directions. Jason: Well, What you really have to do is find something that interests you and that way the project will teach you the most. Carol: The ride's here. Bye! Mom!Maggie: Bye! Sweetie. Have a good day!Mike: Bye mom. Nice talking to you. You look good again. Maggie: Thanks. Looking good yourself.
Mike: Oh, yeah, you know. Been cutting down on the beer. Jason: Me too.Maggie: I'm outta hear too. Oh remember Fred and I will probably be working late again late tonight.Jason: So, what time you think you'll be home?Maggie: Well, it’s hard to …Jason: To estimate!Maggie: Oh, I don’t know. Between 9 and 11. Might say. Jason: You call that an estimate? No an estimate is 9:05 9:06. Maggie: Ok. Let’s say between 10 and 10:15?Jason: Well which one? 10 or 10:15?Maggie: I don’t know Jason. It’s only 15 minutes.
Jason: But that’s not probably about it, Meg. Analysing people’s motivation is what I do for a living. I’m not sexually jealous. I have far too much faith in you to ever be sexually jealous. And I would appreciate it if you had the same faith of me.Maggie: I’m sorry, Jason. I was just kidding. Forgive me?Jason: Well, ok!
Maggie: Ok? I’ll see you later! Good Jason: So what time you think you'll be home?
Carol: Mike! Cut it out!Mike: What! I wasn’t doing anything! Hason: Mike! Stop bothering your sister. Mike: Dad, what’s another word for election? Carol: Plebicite
Mike: I didn’t ask you! I asked Dad.Carol: What’s the difference? Mike: The difference is I don’t wanna know from you!Carol: Sorry! Mike: How do you spell it? Carol: Why should I tell you how to spell it? Mike: Because I asked you. Carol: I thought you didn’t want to know things from me. Mike: What are you, a lawyer? I mean I’m trying to do you a favour here by finding a use for your brain. I don't know why you turn on me like a wild dog?
Carol: Cut it out. Jason: Female subject grabs wrist at third clip. Mike: You do that again and I'll kill you.
Jason: I can't do tadpoles again. They keep these things on file. Jason: No, I mean your mother. We should be asking your mother what to do. I think I'll go down to that newspaper office right now and ask her. Mike: Dad, why don’t you just call her? Jason: Obviously you haven't seen the PHONES they have down there. Believe me it will be a lot simpler in this way. Carol: Won't that be bothering her, dad? Jason: Absolutely not. No, no, your mother wants to be involved in these decision. Besides, I
don't like the idea of her being down at the office this late at night all by herself. Carol: She's not all by herself. Fred's with her. Jason: Even so. Maggie: Fred, who's that? Fred: I don't know. The janitor? Maggie: No one who cleans for a living would press his nose against glass. Fred: Bet it's one of those goons from the East Town dump site. Maggie: Oh, I'll call the police. Jason: Wuuh! Fred: Jason! Maggie: Jason? Fred: You are all right? Maggie: Oh! Honey? Fred: I'm sorry. Maggie: Sit down.
Jason:Aha.I can't even dignify that with a response.You like him better than me, don't you?
Maggie: Jason! Jason: Oh, Maggie. Admit it. I'm not a complete idiot."Maggie, you wanna eat eggs? " "no time";"Maggie, how about we meet for lunch?""Oh, I completely forgot";"Maggie, how's your day today""I don't wanna talk about it at all";"Fred called?""Oh, I have time to talk to him!" Maggie: Oh, Jason... Jason: Don't "Jason" me, Maggie! And I've also been watching the way you are dressing lately. And now I understand. It's because when he looks at you, he looks at you as if you...,as if you were a woman.
Maggie: Yes, you know, and at first, I couldn't figure that out, and then it dawned on me: I AM a woman! Jason: So you admit it? You're into this Maggie. You enjoy it. Maggie: Yes, I enjoy it. People find me interesting that makes me feel good. What's wrong with that? Jason: Oh, What's wrong with it is that you're putting your husband through a living hell. And Maggie, I would never do that to you! Maggie: Ah! Jason: What do you mean "Ah"?
Jason: I hope so. Suddenly I feel very silly. Maggie: "silly" is a strong word. Not entirely inappropriate, but strong. Jason, I love you, I could never cheat on you. Jason: Yeah. Maggie:Yeah. Jason: Well, thank you. Maggie: You are welcome...caterpillars! Jason: What?
Maggie: It's obvious Ben should do caterpillars! Jason: Oh now that's a great idea! Maggie: Thanks. Jason: It's a good thing I came down here tonight.
Jason: So how's Ben doing with his caterpillars? Carol: Somebody else was already doing caterpillars. Ben had to think of a new project Jason: A new project? Please. Pretty good. Mike: It's yum!
Jason: Hey! Where's my mould experiment? 沪江英语编辑部

Carol: Anyway, tomorrow is the moment of truth. Tomorrow, Mr.Simmonds reads all the articles and decides who gets the job. Jason: Oh, no, no, not Simmonds. Maggie: Why? Who's Simmonds? Jason: That's the teacher who locked the kid in the closet for not closing a quote. Maggie: I don't think there's anything to worry about. Just do the best you can, I'm sure he'll be impressed.
Carol: This's so exciting. The roar of the mighty press's ink, coursing through my veins. Maybe I got what it takes , Maybe I don't. But I'll never find out unless I leap into the darkness and give it my all Mike: If she sings "I gotta be me", I swear I'll throw up. Ben: That's two. Carol: Mom, do you think you can read my article tonight and tell me what you think?Maggie: Well, I'll be happy to, honey. Carol: You'll be honest? Maggie: Savagely honest.
Ben: Sure, I want to split the profits. Mike: All right, Ben. Ben: 70.30. mine. Mike: What? Ben: Take it or leave it. Mike: OK, OK, Ok ... Ben: So, it's a pleasure doing business with you, Mike.
