這場戲：識破耍弄後鬧翻
第 20 章 · 共 22 章 · 3'58"
金鳳花撂下一句「不奉陪」轉身就走，對方卻說 I was always afraid it was too good to last（我一直怕這好日子長不了），仍願意幫她拿願望。另一邊，凱蒂發覺又被耍了——I can't believe I fell for it again（真不敢信我又上當了），冷冷補一句 Still the same old Puss in Boots（還是原來那個穿靴子的貓）。想學翻臉和嘴硬，這段帶戲。
「美夢難持久」：too good to last（好得不可能長久）
too good to last 好得長不了；太美好難持久make you happy 讓你開心your family 你的家人
❝ 獨白 · 8 句 「你又耍我」：playing me（耍我；玩弄我）
fell for it 上當了；中招了playing me 耍我；玩弄我the same old 還是原來那個
這是《穿靴子的貓2》裡鬧翻與混戰交錯的一段。金鳳花要離開，有人仍表態：If this is something that will make you happy, we'll get you that wish（要是這能讓你開心，我們就把願望給你弄來）。另一邊，凱蒂發現自己又被耍了——I can't believe I fell for it again（真不敢信我又上當了），質問對方 That you've been playing me this whole time?（你從頭到尾都在耍我？）。她的願望其實是 Someone, anyone I could trust（一個能信的人，誰都行），可對方還是 Still the same old Puss in Boots（原來那個穿靴子的貓）。混戰中有人喊 Mr. Horner, I need your help（霍納先生，我需要你幫忙），對方只回 Duly noted, but a little busy at the moment（記下了，不過這會兒正忙著）。想學翻臉和敷衍，這些都好用。

把宏大的願望收成最樸素的答案：不是財富或永生，而是一個可信任的人。

說出自己真正渴望卻一直沒得到的東西時用，坦白脆弱；對不熟的人別輕易說。
Just one person I could believe in. ／ Anyone I could actually rely on.

After all these years, I just want one person I can rely on. 這麼多年了，我只想要一個能依靠的人。

用 too good to last 把幸福和不安擰在一起，越想珍惜越不敢相信。

用 mine 獨立收尾，把兩條人生徹底分開，冷而不絕，分寸剛好。
Just keep them out of mine.

Chase your dreams if you want, just keep them out of my schedule. 你想追夢就去，只是別佔用我的時間。
“Duly noted, but a little busy at the moment.”

公文腔說“已收到”，再用 a little busy 輕輕一推，把求助擋在門外，禮貌又冷漠。
Duly noted, but a little busy at the moment.
客氣地敷衍別人的求助或提議時用，帶幽默；對真正要緊的人別這樣。
Noted, but I'm swamped right now. ／ Thanks, I'll deal with it later.

Duly noted 稍停，a little busy at the moment 放慢收。
Duly noted, but I'm swamped till Friday. 記下了，不過我忙到週五。

是嗎？你想知道我的願望是什麼嗎？ 一個能信的人，誰都行。 嘿！ 這輩子我從沒擁有過。 可我以為我終於找到了那個人 我以為那個人是你。 可你還在逃。 還是原來那個穿靴子的貓。
