「David Moves In on Sabrina」を読み解く

What's really going on

David's charm is doing the work here, and it's not pretty. He laughs off the date, insults Linus behind his back—"he's a little on the dull side"—and then treats Sabrina as the prize he forgot to want until someone else took her out. The scandal talk is pure David: "So there'll be a big stink in the family. So who cares?" What he actually cares about is much smaller—his allowance, which his father can cut off if he crosses the family. So Sabrina gets both the kisses and the instruction to keep Linus happy, because Linus is "our only ally." The romance is real to her; to David it's partly a way to keep the money flowing.

Theme

RomanceDavid wants Sabrina the moment another man wants her, and turns the whole night into a confession.
MoneyBehind David's romance is his allowance: he needs Linus on his side so his father won't cut him off.

このチャプターで学べること

  • David's joke about eloping hides real jealousy.
  • He turns affection into strategy: Linus is their only ally.

発音のポイント

  • can't help — The t in can't is often dropped, sliding straight into help.
  • Don't you — Don't you blurs into doncha in fast speech.
  • make room — Let the k in make run into room without a break.
Hi! I thought you two had eloped. I wouldn't mind, but not in my car.

David's teasing opener: he jokes that Sabrina and Linus ran off together, and gets in a dig about his car being used.

He's a little on the dull side, isn't he? But you can't help liking him.

David's verdict on Linus: boring, but somehow likable—a backhanded compliment that also marks him as the safer, less glamorous brother.

So there'll be a big stink in the family. So who cares?

David shrugs off the scandal his romance would cause, though he clearly does care what the family thinks of his spending.

It's very important. He's our only ally.

David's reason for keeping the dates going: Linus is the one person who can protect him from the family's anger and his father's money.

Keep talking, David. Keep talking.

Sabrina's plea: she wants David's romantic talk to go on forever, a line that shows how much she's still living inside the dream.

このシーンについての質問

Why does David suddenly want Sabrina?

She's no longer the shy chauffeur's daughter he ignored, and seeing her come home from a date with his brother makes him notice her. He wants what another man has.

Why does David tell Sabrina to keep seeing Linus?

Because Linus is their "only ally." If the family turns on David for chasing Sabrina, his father could cut off his allowance, so he needs Linus on his side.

What does David mean by 'the first team takes over'?

It's a sports joke about a substitution: once his recovery from the mishap is done on Thursday, David means to replace Linus as Sabrina's escort.

What is the family preparing for in the final lines?

A wedding at the mansion. They talk flowers and invitation lists, and have drained the indoor pool to make room for the wedding presents.
