好台词
本段选自When Harry Met Sally(《当哈利遇上莎莉》),由梅格·瑞恩主演。
Harry 和Sally在一起吃饭的过程中,有一些有趣的细节,体现了两人的个性特色。Sally“点”东西的方式相当独特,表达细致入微且有逻辑。关于day-of-the-week
underpants 的对话也极有意思。我们常常会在宾馆的电梯等地方看到印有Monday,
Tuesday ……等字样的小地毯。在本段对话中Sally谈到,生产内裤的厂商在内裤上也印上了星期几,但没有星期日,因为周日是“a
holy day” (不生产“周日内裤”系宗教原因)。Sally说,男友Sheldon怀疑她不穿Sunday内裤,是因为“丢”在别人处了。
对话:
Waitress: What can I get you?
Harry: I' lll have the number 31.
Sally: I' ll have the chef' s salad2, please,
with the oil and vinegar on the side3 and the apple pie a la mode4.
Waitress: Chef and apple a la mode.
Sally: But I' d like the pie heated and
I don' t want the ice cream on top. I' d like it on the side. And I'
d like strawberry instead of vanilla, if you have it. If not, then no
ice cream just whipped cream5 but only if it' s real. If it' s out of
the can6, then nothing.
Waitress: Not even the pie?
Sally: No, just the pie, but then not heated.
Waitress: Uh, huh.
Sally: What ?
Harry: Nothing, nothing. So how come7 you
broke up8 with Sheldon?
Sally: How do you know we broke up ?
Harry: Because if you didn' t break up,
you wouldn' t be here with me. You' d be off with Sheldon9, the wonder
schlong10.
Sally: First of all, I am not "with"
you11, and second of all, it is none of your business12 why we broke
up.
Harry: You' re right. You' re right. I don'
t want to know.
Sally: Well if you must know, it was because
he' s very jealous and I had these day-of- the-week underpants13.
Harry: I'm sorry, I need a judge' s ruling14
on this. Day-of- the-week underpants?15
Sally: Yes. They had the day-of-the-week
on them and I thought they were sort of16 funny. And then one day, Sheldon
says to me,"You never wear Sunday, it' s awfully suspicious17."
Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him and he didn'
t believe me.
Harry: What ?
Sally: They don' t make Sunday.
Harry: Why not ?
Sally: Because of God...
