The story so far
Everything you need before watchingBad Cop slaps Emmet awake and demands the Master Builders and the Piece of Resistance. Emmet has no idea what any of that is; he even asks where the good cop is. Good Cop offers water, then snatches it away. Co-workers on screen cannot remember him: he just says yes, a blank slate, nothing. Bad Cop calls that the perfect cover and orders the melting chamber. Watch the air quotes turn I believe you into its opposite.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“I'm just a regular, normal, ordinary guy.”
我就是个普通、正常、平凡的人。
三个近义词叠在一起,越强调越显得没特点。
I'm just a + 一串近义形容词 + guy.
被人高估或冤枉时,赶紧把自己说回普通人。
I'm just a regular guy. / I'm nobody special.
informal
regular、normal、ordinary 三个词均匀加重。
“Little bit of a blank slate, I guess.”
算是一块白板吧,我猜。
blank slate 把人说成没字的板,轻描淡写却很狠。
a little bit of a + 名词
委婉评价某人没个性、没存在感时。
He's kind of a blank page. / There's not much there.
informal
blank slate 两个重音,I guess 轻轻收。
“It's the perfect cover.”
这才是完美伪装。
同事说他什么都不是,警察立刻反读成卧底。
It's the perfect + 名词.
某件事看起来像缺点,你偏说它是掩护。
That's the perfect disguise. / It hides in plain sight.
informal
perfect 拉长,cover 干脆落下。
Monologue
One character carrying the scene — shadow the whole passageI'm just a regular, normal, ordinary guy. I'm late to meet my best friends in the whole world. They're probably missing me right now. They're probably out looking around. "Hey, where's Emmet? Hey, where's my best friend Emmet?" Hey, you know what? Ask all my friends. They'll tell you.
我就是个普通、正常、平凡的人。 我跟全世界最好的朋友约好了,我要迟到了。 他们现在大概正在想我。 他们大概正在外面到处找。 「嘿,艾米特呢?嘿,我最好的朋友艾米特呢?」 嘿,你知道吗?去问我所有朋友。他们会告诉你。
