這場戲：抬沙發卡在樓梯上
第 20 章 · 共 25 章 · 4'00"
重聚特輯裡，主創聊到看自己的戲：有人坦白 I'm mortified with myself（對自己無地自容），還有人說自己演的戲 I don't buy a word of it（一個字都不信）。話題轉到抬沙發名場面，一句 Pivot（轉身）喊到停不下來，他們都說這是 masters of physical comedy（肢體喜劇大師）。想用英語聊演技和喜劇節奏，這段說法都很實用。

重聚特輯裡，主創聊起看自己演出的感受：有人坦白 I'm mortified with myself（對自己無地自容），覺得自己演的戲根本不真實，於是 I don't buy a word of it（一個字都不信）；可一看同伴，又覺得 proud to be on the show（很自豪能在這部劇裡）。接著大家聊到抬沙發的名場面，一句 Pivot（轉身）喊到崩潰，最後總結這六個人就是 masters of physical comedy（肢體喜劇大師）。想學英語裡聊演技、聊尷尬和不自信的說法，這段很真實。
