The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJoan's a therapist. She just heard from a patient, Amy Pollack, that her husband Harry slept with her. Harry plays dumb, then calls the affair a disguised plea for closeness, then blames their platonic marriage since Hilly was born. In the next room, Mr. Farber is still in session. Joan keeps stepping out to throw Harry into the street. Watch him turn I only meet your patients into a logistical excuse.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Harry, you don't fuck somebody's patient!”
哈里,别人的病人你不能上!
五个词立成禁令,把职业道德骂成底线。
You don't + 动词 + somebody's + 名词。
要把某条关系红线当众钉死时。
You don't sleep with someone's patient. / That's off limits.
informal
don't fuck 连读,patient 往下砸。
“I was merely explaining to you why my choice, of necessity, is confined to your practice.”
我只是在解释,出于必要,我的选择只能局限在你的诊所。
把出轨讲成日程限制,冷静得像写备忘录。
of necessity, something is confined to X.
要把难看选择包装成客观限制时。
I had no other options. / That's the only pool I meet people in.
literary
merely 轻带,necessity 和 confined 各顿一下。
“May God strike me dead if I'm lying.”
我要是撒谎,老天劈死我。
起誓句干净利落,下一句就被无神论拆穿。
May God strike me dead if...
要赌咒发誓、强调自己没撒谎时。
I swear I'm not lying. / Cross my heart.
informal
God 和 dead 加重,if 后加快。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageI've been losing sleep at night. I can't shut my eyes at night. I... I think I should quit my job, but I can't bring myself to do it. Maybe because my brother-in-law treats me kindly. But... but working for him is taking its toll on me emotionally.
我晚上一直睡不着。 晚上眼睛合都合不上。 我……我觉得我该辞职,可我狠不下心。 也许因为我姐夫待我不错。 可是……可给他干活,情感上把我掏空了。
You fucked-up fuck! I can't believe you fucking did this! You fucking asshole! You fucked my patient?! Harry, you don't fuck somebody's patient!
你这个操蛋的混蛋! 我不敢相信你他妈居然干出这种事! 你这个该死的混蛋! 你上了我的病人?! 哈里,别人的病人你不能上!
