Betty: "Hello, Susan. Are you ready for your lesson?"
蘇珊，你好。你準備好上課了嗎/
Susan: "Yep, I am. I think I'm going to make another push for using that pedal. I think it adds grandeur."
是的，我想我要好好練練踏板。我覺得那能增添氣勢。
Karl: "I want to talk to you!"
我想跟你談談。
Susan: "I'm busy now."
我現在很忙。
Karl: "I cannot believe you kicked Edie out of Julie's performance!"
我簡直不敢相信，你逼伊迪退出朱莉的演出。
Susan: "I did not kick Edie out. Julie made that call."
我沒逼她退出。
Karl: "Because you played the mom card."
因為你亮出了媽媽牌。
Susan: "Well, it is a family recital, and Edie is not family."
那可是個家庭演唱會，伊迪不算家人。
Karl: "One day, she could be."
總有一天她會得。
Susan: "Oh, don't even joke like that."
喔，別搞笑了。
Karl: "How about your plumber-slash-convicted murderer, huh? He seems to keep popping up at "family" events."
那你那個殺人犯水管工呢，他貌似一直出現在家庭活動中。
Susan: "It was not murder, it was manslaughter, and that's totally different. Mike and I aren't even living together, and he cares about Julie."
那不是謀殺，那是誤殺，那完全不是一回事。麥克和我都沒生活在一起，他很關心朱莉。
Karl: "Well, so does Edie, huh? She was really looking forward to performing with Julie."
伊迪也是呀，她很期待跟朱莉一起演出。
Susan: "If you think Edie Britt cares about anybody other than herself, you are living in a fool's paradise. You don't know her the way I do, and the only reason she's interested in Julie is to mess with my head."
如果你認為伊迪.布利特關心他人勝過自己的話，那你簡直就是自欺欺人。我比你更瞭解她。她對朱莉感興趣得唯一原因就是為了讓我抓狂。
Karl: "Hey, that's both crazy and self-absorbed. That's a twofer! Way to go! Whether you choose to believe it or not, they're both great together, and if you don't believe me, ask Julie."
你還真是瘋狂還自以為是。
Susan: "I'm sorry you had to witness that."
我抱歉讓你看到這些。
Betty: "Oh, that's okay, hon. I have lived my share of family knock-down drag-outs."
沒關係，親愛的，我也跟家人磕磕絆絆的。
Susan: "Well, I hope it wasn't as ugly as me and Karl."
我希望那不會像我跟卡爾這樣。
Betty: "You'd be surprised."
比那厲害多了。
