第二集(3)
席梦在医院看着卡尔,卡尔醒来后,席梦问卡尔怎样了,卡尔说:说来有趣“You attempt suicide with a bottle of sleeping pills and when you finally wake up,they sedate you”
席梦问卡尔:当时是怎么想的?卡尔说:“I was ashamed of the pain I had caused”
席梦说,她还是会和卡尔离婚,但是不会这么快,并且是和平的离婚,她希望她的朋友像羡慕他们结婚那样羡慕他们离婚。卡尔说,希望你的朋友不会可怜你。这时席梦说到:“Our friends don’t feel pity,only schadenfreude”
