這場戲：包廂裡聊嫁富人
第 9 章 · 共 19 章 · 3'09"
火車包廂裡，糖糖跟扮成約瑟芬的喬掏心窩子：她受夠了 the fuzzy end of the lollipop（總撿最差的那份），一心去佛羅里達找百萬富翁，挑男人的標準也很直接——as long as（只要……就行）有遊艇就行。姑娘們借冰塊鬧著玩，喬差點露餡。想聊擇偶標準、想自嘲倒霉，這些臺詞又好笑又好用。

The next thing you know 轉眼之間、一不留神pull yourself together 振作起來、收拾好情緒as long as 只要……就行
在開往佛羅里達的火車包廂裡，姑娘們開起了小派對。糖糖跟扮成約瑟芬的喬說起心事：她受夠了 the fuzzy end of the lollipop（總撿最差的那份），發誓不再重蹈覆轍；這趟去佛羅里達，是為了找丈夫，因為那兒有 flocks of them（成群結隊）的百萬富翁。她的條件也很實在：as long as（只要……就行）他有遊艇就行。姑娘們拿冰塊互相打鬧，冰塊擦到喬，她怕癢得直喊 Help! Josephine!（救命！約瑟芬！），差點把偽裝鬧穿幫。想聊擇偶幻想、想自嘲總倒霉、想描述鬧騰的聚會，這些表達都好用。
