Barry: What?Mike: Listen, you, you’ve been to all the rehearsals, right? So you probably know everybody’s part by heart.
Barry: Why?Mike: Well, I’m just curious.Barry: Oh. Mike: So, so, this means that you could probably, like, go on for any of us, even, uh, say, uh, me, if like, uh, the last minute there was some…I guess that’s a no.

Jason: Ben Seaver makes his debut at the Dewey Greasepaint Society, after appearances on Air wolf, Pee Wee’s Playhouse and the Cosby Show?Maggie: All actors lie about their credits. Oh, Jason, what’s the penalty for setting off a false fire alarm? Jason: Why?
Jason: Honey, there’s no need to disrupt the play with any false fire alarms. I’m fully prepared to faint.
Student: The town is Grover’s Corners, New Hampshire. Just across the Massachusetts line. The first act shows a day in our town. The time is just before dawn. The sky is beginning to show some streaks of light over in the east there. The morning star always gets…

Mike: Emily?Monica: Yes, George?Mike: If I do improve and make a big change, would you be, I mean, could you be…Monica: I am now. I always have been.Mike: So I guess this is as pretty important talk we’ve been having.Monica: Yes. Yes.Mike: You just wait here a minute and I’ll walk you home, ok?Jason: That’s my boy! My son right up there! Come on!
[Next scene]
Carol: Mike, you were so good! I can’t believe it!Mike: Was I?Carol: Yea, and it really gets me tense, too.Monica: Hey! Why were you holding back so much at all the rehearsals?Mike: I don’t know.Monica: Why didn’t you tell me?Mike: I don’t know.Monica: Mike, um, are you going to the cast party later?Mike: I don’t know.Maggie: There’s Carol!Jason: Honey, you were wonderful!
Maggie: I knew you could do it!Mike: I didn’t.Jason: Big night for you, huh?Mike: Yea, I guess.Maggie: What’s the matter, Mike?Mike: Can I ask you guys something?Jason: Sure.Mike: Was I really good?
Jason: Yes!Maggie: Yes!Mike: No, I mean, really, really good?Jason: Mike, I’ve never been more proud of you than I am tonight.Mike: It’s kind of scary. See, I don’t know, I’ve never really felt like this before. See, I usually don’t try that hard at being good at things because…I just don’t. But, um, I mean, just between you and me, in a lot of things I kind of just goof off a little bit.Maggie: What?Jason: No…Mike: Yea, yea. But see, tonight, it was different. When I stepped out on that stage, I totally forgot that you guys were even out there. And about everything that was going wrong. And forgot about Boner’s stupid tape recorder. I just felt like this guy named George in this little town. It was easy.Jason: Being good at something is fun, Mike.
Mike: Is this what you meant all those times that you said that I should find something that I’m good at and do it?Jason: Kind of.Maggie: Exactly.Mike: I was ok, wasn’t I?
Mike: You guys go ahead in. I need a minute, ok?Maggie: My baby.Jason: I’m Jason Seaver! I’m Mike’s father!

Carol: Any time this year, Ben.Ben: The lock is messed up.Mike: You’re messed up!Carol: It’s been a lovely birthday, Mike. Don’t ruin it.Mike: Mom, I’m not thinking of me. I’m thinking of poor old Dad who has to hold all your presents.Jason: How thoughtful.Ben: There.Maggie: Oh, this has been a lot of fun. Well, I just want to thank all of you for such a…Jason: Maggie? Can I just put these down first? Thank you.Maggie: Oh. Sure, sorry. I just want to thank all of you for your wonderful gifts.Carol: Except Mike, of course.Mike: What?Carol: Next time you buy perfume, don’t buy it at a bowling alley.Maggie: Excuse me, why is the light on in the living room?Jason: I don’t know, maybe it burned out.Maggie: Uh-huh. And you had nothing to do with it?
Jason: What?Maggie: Carol?Carol: What?Maggie: Mike?Mike: Hey, I didn’t do it.Carol: You guys are throwing me a surprise party! Oh!Jason: Uh, no.Maggie: Don’t ever play poker Jason; you’re a terrible bluffer.Mike: Uh, no, Mom. There’s no party. See, we discussed it and we decided it would be cheaper… easier if we just took you out to dinner.
Maggie: Right.Jason: Maggie, all these years you’ve always said how you hate surprise parties.Maggie: Yes, but underneath you knew what I really was saying and you ignored what I was saying and that’s why I love you.Jason: What are you saying?Maggie: I’m ready for my party. Boy, is it dark in here, honey. You better turn on a light before I trip over something or somebody. Oh my god.Ben: You know what? Someone’s been here.
[Next scene]
Carol: We’ve been robbed! Mike: Yea.
[Next scene]
Maggie: That’s a noise!Carol: I don’t know, it sounded like someone walking through the bushes with a big knife and a gun, and they…Jason: It’s your imagination, Carol.Maggie: Jason, it has been over an hour. Where are the police?
Mike: This just figures. There’s only cops around when you don’t need them.Ben: Like when?Mike: You know, like when you’re speeding a little bit or sneaking into a drive-in or borrowing a street sign. These are just random examples, Dad.Carol: Where are those clowns anyway?Ben: The police are clowns!Clown: Evenin’Seavers!Jason: Yes, who are you?Clown: [Singing] I’m a happy birthday clown! Happy birthday! Happy! Happy! Happy! Jason: Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!Clown: Well, that was pretty rude.
Jason: Do you have some ID? No, it’s ok, no, we trust you.
Officer Wright: So how about we go inside so I can take down your report.Jason: Well, we’re not even sure the burglars have left yet.Officer Wright: Mr. Seaver, it’s been an hour. You really think he’s hanging around in there taking a bubble bath?Jason: Good thinking. Ok everybody, come on, let’s go.Maggie: Jason, I am still scared.Officer Wright: Maggie, look at the size of this guy. I feel safe.Maggie: Ok.
Ben: You know, my grandpa’s a cop, so I know all about it.Officer Wright: I’ll watch my step. Ben: He’s not black, though.Officer Wright: Nobody’s perfect.
[Next scene]
Officer Wright: Excuse me.Mike: Oh, right.
Officer Wright: Wow.Maggie: Well, say what you want. I don’t understand how this is a minor crime. Our home has been violated. Personal things have been taken. And it’s my birthday!Officer Wright: Hey! Happy birthday!Officer Wright: Should we wait before we file the insurance claim? Give you guys a chance to find our stuff? Is that a no?
[Next scene]
Maggie: Jason, look at this!Jason: Just a second, honey.Maggie: This is important.Jason: What?Maggie: My secret recipe chicken soup. It’s gone, too.Jason: Well, yea, maybe just one of the kids…Maggie: No, no, no. I asked them. Can you believe this?Jason: Honey, we’re missing a lot of things. What’s so important about your chicken soup?Maggie: I didn’t make it for them! I made it for us!Officer Wright: Well, that just about covers it.Maggie: Add chicken soup to that list.Officer Wright and Ben: What?Maggie: Or is that too minor?Ben: I’d do it.Officer Wright: Chicken soup.Maggie: With noodles.
Maggie: What?
Jason: Well, that sweater your mother knitted for me. With the sleeve that’s five feet long.Maggie: It’s right in your hand.Jason: Well, you know that and I know that, but your mother doesn’t know it!Maggie: My mother worked very hard on that sweater.Jason: That’s why it’s going to be such a tragic loss! Maggie? Honey, what is it? Hey.Maggie: Oh, Jason. They came into my house, they touched our things, they went through everything. They know what size my underwear is!Jason: Well, we’re ok. Nobody was hurt.
Maggie: But what if they come back when we’re here?Jason: Why would they come back?Maggie: Why did they come in the first place?Ben: Hi.Maggie: Hi, honey.Ben: Can I come sleep with you guys?Jason: Sure.Ben: Hey, nobody’s getting my stuff!Carol: Uh, hi. Maggie: Hi, sweetheart.Carol: Uh, listen, you know, I was wondering…Jason: Come on in!Carol: Thanks!Mike: Hey. Ben: You scared, too?
Maggie: I didn’t mean that. I don’t know what I meant, but I didn’t mean that. Ok, I meant it.
Jason: Come on, let’s go.Mike: Hey, Dad. You want me to wake Ben up?Carol: So he can find out why he’s having trouble sleeping? Oh, good Mike, good.Jason: Well since something like this has never happened to us before it’s important we dig into our anxiety. exam our feeling, we’ve got to go inward and downward.Maggie: I know, I’ll make coffee.Jason: That will help up sleep?Maggie: Ok, decaf. I’m in no mood to argue, Jason.
Jason: Ok, kids. Come on. Let’s talk about what’s bothering us.Carol: I see no reason whatsoever to discuss this a moment longer.Jason: That’s a good start. Mike? Mike.Mike: Oh, right, right. Yea, yea, that’s a real good start, Carol. Let’s, let’s get in touch a little bit with why you’re so weird, alright?Jason: This is not…Carol: I bet one of your scum ball friends had something to do with this burglary.Mike: Hey! Don’t talk about my friends like that, alright? Eddie and Boner are too stupid to think of something like this.Carol: You stinking…Mike: Stinking what?Jason: Hey!Carol and Mike: What?!
us, we’re going to be talking through our feelings.Ben: I don’t have any feelings. I’m fine.Jason: You’re fine?Ben: I will be as soon as I change my shorts.
[Next scene]
Jason: Ok, Mike, we’ll come back to you. Ben, what about you?Maggie: He’s sleeping. Jason, this has been very helpful and I feel much better. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some cleaning to do.
Ben: Or Mom.Jason: Alright, who else thinks there’s a possibility someone else will break in? Come on. Be honest. Maggie!Maggie: Well, you wanted honesty. See what happens when you ask for that? I was quite happy to stand here with my vacuum cleaner in line.Jason: No, I’m glad you didn’t. This is good. Well, I mean it’s good that we’re finally able to admit that the reason we can’t sleep is that we’re afraid. All of us.
Ben: You’re afraid, too?Jason: Yes, Ben.Ben: You’re a dad and everything!Mike: Dad, if you keep going on like this, this kid is going to explode.Jason: Look, I don’t mean to frighten anyone, but if we don’t deal with this honestly, Ben’s going to be dragging that box to college.Ben: It’s not heavy.Carol: Well, what should we do?
Jason: Well, that’s the question. Something terrible has just happened to us. What do we do?Mike: Dad, is this one of those questions that you always ask us that you already know the answer to?Jason: Well, I have some thoughts; I’d like to hear yours.Maggie: I say we get a burglar alarm, the biggest and loudest.Mike: Do you honestly think Sylvester Stallone has a burglar alarm?Maggie: No, his wife got that in the settlement.Mike: Look, my point is the only way to protect yourself is with guns. Lots of them!Ben: Yea!Maggie: No!Carol: That’s so stupid.Mike: You got a better idea.Carol: As a matter of fact, I do.Jason: Alright, let’s hear it.
Carol: Sure!Jason: Your hairdryer?Carol: Well, seen in the proper perspective, a hairdryer really is nothing more than concentrated wind which is free and that’s not a possession. See? It all works out!Ben: I wish I had a gun now.Maggie: Jason, it would be helpful to limit this conversation to reasonable, rational solutions.Jason: Like what?Maggie: Like putting our house up for sale and moving to a small island off the coast of Maine.
Jason: Or why not a small island off the coast of France?Maggie: We don’t speak French!Jason: Maggie!Maggie: Look, I know we can’t move, but I sure feel like going somewhere that’s secure. All I want is for my kids to feel as safe as I did when I was a little girl.Jason: Maggie, your father was a policeman. Nobody would rob a cop!Mike: Right, because everyone knows that cops have guns! Jason: Guns are not the answer, Mike! Besides, if we had a gun, that could have gotten stolen, too. And there’s a distinct possibility that somebody could get accidentally shot while sneaking in here late.Mike: That’s a point.Carol: So, we all agree. We give everything away.Jason: Right!Mike: What?
Carol: Dad, the question doesn’t make sense.
Jason: Why not?Carol: If we’re feeling safe and secure, no one can steal that.Jason: And isn’t that exactly what they…Carol: We’re letting the thieves do to us.Mike: Yea…Jason: That’s right.Ben: So what the heck are we supposed to do?Jason: We don’t let them take it, Ben. We carry on. We do exactly what we would do every
10
Saturday morning.
Ben: Listen to you yell at Mike for sneaking in late.
Jason: After that.
Maggie: We go out to breakfast.
Jason: Right! Come on, what do you say?
Ben: But who’s going to watch my stuff?
Jason: Nobody, Ben. That’s it, you see. Either you own your stuff or your stuff owns you. Mike!
Mike: I could eat.
Jason: Carol?
Carol: I feel like pigs in a blanket. Shut up, Mike.
Jason: Maggie?
Maggie: I knew you were making a point. I was sure of it all along. I never doubted you for a
second.
Jason: Ok, come on. You’ve all got five minutes to change.
Maggie: Who needs Sylvester Stallone when we’ve got Jason Roland Seaver?
Mike: Roland?
Jason: Come on. Get upstairs.
Mike: Alright.
Jason: Go ahead, Ben.
Jason: Yea, come on, our secret.

沪江英语Friend #1: Hi Carol! Carol: Hi. Friend #2: Wanna come with us to watch the basketball team workout? Carol: Why would I want to do that? Friend #1: Tall, tall guys in teeny-weeny shorts? Friend #2: Gluteus to the maximus, if you get my meaning. Carol: Uh, sorry, I can’t. I’m helping Bobby study for an English test. Friend #1 and #2: Whoop-de-do. Friend #2: Carol, when you and Bobby started going out we had great hope for you. Friend #1: Great hope! Friend #2: But your relationship has turned into something disgustingly boring. Carol: Boring, huh? Well, just because we don’t run around here like teenagers, doesn’t mean that underneath there’s not a seething river of white, hot passion. Bobby: Yo, Carol! Look, I’m sorry I’m late, but I can’t study right now. I owe Coach Lump some power squats. But I’ll study at your house after football practice, ok? Carol: Sure. Bobby: Kiss! Carol: Kiss! Friend #1: Is that sick or what? Friend #2: Carol, admit it. The river of passion has dried up like my mother’s skin.Carol: Well, it’s obvious that neither one of you have ever been involved in a mature, lasting relationship. Friend #1: Who’d want to be?Carol: So how could you possibly understand that Bobby and I are different? We’re not into that typical flirty, giggling kind of teenage fling. We’re building something lasting and good. And even if Mr. Perfect were to walk up to me right now, I’d say, ‘I’m taken.’Jeffrey: Oh, excuse me.
