這場戲：想回家又遭全城封路
第 10 章 · 共 22 章 · 2'11"
塞蕾娜的智慧門鎖不肯開，癟四隻好先忙著 set up（配置好）手機裡的「家庭」應用；大頭蛋卻只想趕緊回家，喊出 We need to go home right now so we can score（我們得馬上回家，這樣才能得手）。另一邊，國安局已經錄到兩人的聲音，全城開始圍堵。想學幾句日常又荒誕的英語，這些臺詞很逗。
「搭上、搞到手」英語說 score
right now 就在此刻、馬上score 搭上、搞到手directions to 去某地的路線指引before sunset 日落之前
「對外用某個名字」英語說 gone by
were able to 得以做到某事gone by 對外用某個名字out of town 出城、不在城裡care about 在意、心裡裝著
癟四和大頭蛋被困在房間，想開門卻被智慧門鎖攔住：得先 set up（配置好）「家庭」應用。大頭蛋發現塞蕾娜在家裡，嚷著 We need to go home right now so we can score（我們得馬上回家，這樣才能得手），還自信地說 We'll be there before sunset（我們日落前就到）。另一邊，國安局通過他們用手機付房費的錢，get a recording of their voices（錄到了他們的聲音），認定他們不是人類，要解剖他們的口器。州長理查德·瓦克現身，國安局下令 Order a roadblock on all roads leading out of town（在出城的所有路上設卡）。想學日常口語和荒誕臺詞，這些臺詞很搞笑。

我們得馬上回家，這樣才能拿下她。
把急不可耐寫得理直氣壯，理由一點不遮掩。

表達著急要趕去做某事時用；朋友之間口語，正式場合別這麼說。

口語
need to 連讀，score 重讀拖長。

我們日落前就能到，比維斯。
明明要開七天車，他說得像出門散步，天真得可笑。

州長，天啊，真不敢相信我終於見到您了。
一串粉絲式驚歎堆在一起，把崇拜全寫在臉上。

在出城的每條路上設路障。

Order a guard on all doors leading to the stage. 下令在通往舞臺的每道門口設崗。
下一章 · 11score把到手這場戲：廁所裡偷偷表白意思是「安裝、配置好」，指把裝置或應用裝好、設定到能用。臺詞 First you need to set up the Home app 就是「你得先設定好『家庭』應用」。
意思是「對外用某個名字」。臺詞 I've always gone by Richard 就是「我一直對外叫理查德」，用來解釋別人怎麼稱呼自己。
說 care about，比如 do people still care about terrorism 就是「現在還有人關心恐怖主義嗎」。
說 We need to go home right now。right now 就是「就在此刻、馬上」，強調一刻都不能等。
字面是「日落之前」。臺詞 We'll be there before sunset 是「我們會在日落前趕到」，透著一股盲目樂觀，其實路程要 167 小時。
