The story so far
Everything you need before watchingRose, the stripper next door, is not here to chat. Her boyfriend Jimmy still owes David four hundred for drugs, so she sells the ask as neighborly: settle his debt. David answers with not a fucking chance. They trade hallway insults about cheese-scented apartments. Kid neighbor Kenny overheard, calls it flirting, then tries to buy weed. On the street, thugs grab at an iPhone. Kenny plays hero; David tries to leave; Kenny blurts that he is a dealer.

Golden lines
A great line in its own right — why and how to use it“Maybe you shouldn't loan drugs to people.”
也许你不该把毒品借给别人。
用 maybe you shouldn't 的客气壳,把最损的建议说成人生忠告。
Maybe you shouldn't + 动词原形.
别人求你收拾他种下的烂摊子、你要礼貌刺回去时。
Maybe don't lend that to people. / You might not want to do that.
informal
shouldn't 略重,loan drugs 两下点清。
“- Not a fucking chance. - You'd be doing me a solid, neighbor.”
-想都他妈没门。-你这是帮邻居一个忙。
脏话把门砸死,对方立刻戴上「邻居」帽子把忙说成人情。
Not a chance. / do someone a solid.
一口回绝时用前半;把忙包装成给熟人面子时用后半。
No way. / You'd be doing me a favor.
informal
Not、chance 两下砸死,solid 再软下来。
“It's a real Sophie's choice here, huh? All right.”
这可真是苏菲的抉择啊,对吧?行吧。
用沉重片名嘲讽假选择:交背包,还是被捅。
It's a real X here.
两个选项都烂、其实没得选时用来自嘲。
Not much of a choice. / That's a lose-lose.
informal
Sophie's choice 放慢,huh 上扬,All right 认栽落下。
