❝ 獨白 · 5 句 逼女兒站隊的訓話
從「你不聽我」滑到「讓妹妹勸你」，最後逼孩子回答，步步收緊。
西爾維婭要跟一幫男孩出去兜風，先說了得問格特魯德。有人提醒她 I wouldn't come between Gertie and her kids（我勸你別夾在格特魯德和她的孩子中間），因為這位監護人一向說一不二。夜裡，格特魯德當面質問她散播關於女兒的謠言、還跟安迪 flirt with（調情），接著一句 Who's in charge here（這兒誰說了算）逼孩子表態。她還不罷休，用一句 no matter what you want, you just take it（不管你要什麼，你都是直接拿走）否定西爾維婭，又轉頭問珍妮 do you wanna be like your sister（你想變成你姐姐那樣嗎）。想學怎麼用英語立規矩、壓人一頭、追問責任，這場戲裡全是現成句子。

下一章 · 11learns her lesson得到教訓這場戲：把西爾維婭關進地下室字面是「走到兩者中間」，實際指夾在兩個人或兩方之間摻和、拆散關係。臺詞裡是勸西爾維婭別插手格特魯德和她孩子的事。
Who's in charge here? in charge 就是管事、說了算。孩子回答 You are, mama 也簡單，想確認誰負責、誰拍板，這句最直接。
對，flirt with someone 就是跟某人打情罵俏、眉來眼去。格特魯德指控西爾維婭 flirt with Andy，語氣是責備，不只是開玩笑。
意思是「不管怎樣、無論什麼」，後面可接從句或單獨用。臺詞 no matter what you want 就是「不管你想要什麼」，常用來強調態度強硬。
指攔住某人、不讓他做某事，結構是 keep someone from doing。格特魯德說 keep her from making those mistakes，就是別讓珍妮犯和姐姐一樣的錯。
