Monologue

And we found... the movie of Wild Strawberries on the cable station and we stayed up all night watching it? - Remember that? That was such a great... - Yeah. For some reason, a great moment for me. Or when we were going to the faculty dinner and... I'll never forget this. We were on Fifth Avenue, and it was just an icy, black night. We were walking downtown. You remember that? - Suddenly we decided not to go to dinner. - Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. We said the hell with it. It was such a beautiful night, We walked into Central Park. It was so snowy that night, and you could see every star. Mmm, remember how cold it was? You were so beautiful in that black dress. Really.
呃,有、有一晚我们都睡不着,记得吗? 然后我们找到……有线台在放《野草莓》,我们就熬了一夜把它看完? - 记得吗?那真是太棒的…… - 记得。 不知为什么,对我来说是个美妙时刻。 或者那次我们要去参加教职工晚宴,然后…… 我永远忘不了。我们在第五大道上,那是个冰封的黑夜。 我们往下城走。你还记得吗? - 突然我们决定不去吃饭了。 - 嗯。嗯。 我们说去他的。夜色那么美,我们就走进了中央公园。 那天雪下得很大,每颗星星都看得见。 嗯,记得有多冷吗? 你穿着那条黑裙子真美。真的。
