這場戲：翻病歷吵要不要開刀
第 20 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'19"
醫院裡，霍克斯塔德翻著凱瑟琳的病歷——自殺、鬧事、燙修女——質問醫生是不是想毀掉醫院。醫生卻一句 It was the other way around（事情正好反過來），還說 She was provoked（她是被激怒的）。面對明天就要動刀的催促，他只要 Give me one more day（再給我一天）。想學怎麼據理力爭，看這段。

《夏日痴魂》這段在醫院辦公室：霍克斯塔德把凱瑟琳的病歷一條條念出來——自殺未遂、煽動鬧事、用香菸燙修女，質問他是不是想把醫院毀掉。庫克羅維茨反駁 It was the other way around（事情正好反過來），又說 She was provoked. I was there, I saw it（她是被激怒的，我當時在場，我親眼看見了）。院長催他明天就動手術，他堅持 I need more time（我需要更多時間），只求 Give me one more day to see if I can break through that block（再給我一天，看能不能突破那道牆）。他還點明對方真正在意的：你不想讓別人說我們 acted hastily（行事草率）or unethically（不合規矩），對吧。

下一章 · 21godforsaken荒涼破敗這場戲：掏死亡證明又準備注射意思是「正好相反、反過來」，用來糾正對方把因果說反了。臺詞 It was the other way around 就是「事情正好反過來」，說的是被指控的人其實才是受害者。
invent excuses。臺詞 Don't invent excuses for her 就是「別替她編藉口」，想叫別人不要再為某事找理由，這句話很直接。

意思是「突破、衝破障礙」，可以指衝破一堵牆，也可以指突破心理或溝通的壁壘。臺詞 break through that block to the truth 就是「突破那道擋著真相的牆」。
意思是「和你一樣（想要）」，句子 You know I want that building as much as you do 就是「你知道我和你一樣想得到那棟樓」，用來強調雙方目標一致。
