這場戲：探監追問母親下落
第 11 章 · 共 20 章 · 3'04"
道格去監獄看父親，勸他好好表現、爭取轉去諾福克，還說自己打算 go dark（銷聲匿跡）一陣。父親一聽到「消失」，就問 Either you got heat or you don't（是不是被盯上了）。道格問起母親，父親卻說這些事早就 I made my peace with it（認了）。父子間這種又親又硬的對話，很值得學。
父親一句 got heat（被警察盯上）就拆穿他
take no shit 不受窩囊氣、不肯忍got heat 被警察盯上
❝ 獨白 · 13 句 父親說「我認了」：made my peace with（認了）
ask around 四處打聽carry it 把某事一直扛在心裡made my peace with 認了、跟某事了結
道格到監獄探望父親。他勸父親攢夠一年 good behavior（表現良好）、把扣分降下來，好轉到沒人煩他的諾福克；父親卻說自己 Can't take no shit（受不了窩囊氣），還在跟南區小子較勁。道格說自己在考慮出趟遠門、要 go dark（銷聲匿跡）一陣，父親立刻追問是不是 got heat（被警察盯上）。臨走前道格問起母親：How come you never looked for her?（你怎麼從沒去找過她？）父親說當年那話只是想給他找點事做，沒想到他會 carry it（一直扛在心裡），還說母親「也沒兩樣」，這事他早就 made my peace with（認了），讓道格也認了。父子之間又親又硬的談話，全是這種說法。

“Hey, you know how it is. Can't take no shit.”
嘿，你知道的。我可受不了窩囊氣。
一句牢里老炮兒的信條，把脾氣和不肯低頭都裝進去了。
You know how it is. Can't ...
解釋自己為什麼不肯忍讓時用；對長輩或正式場合別說。
You know how it goes. I don't take that. ／ That's just how it is. I won't back down.
口語
you know how it is 連讀，Can't take 加重。
You know how it is. I can't let that slide. 你知道的，我不能就這麼算了。
“Either you got heat or you don't.”
要麼你是被盯上了，要麼不是。
一句二選一的硬話，把謊話逼到牆角，老警察式的乾脆。
Either you ... or you don't.
戳破含糊其辭、逼對方表態時用；對朋友說會顯得咄咄逼人。
Either you're in or you're out. ／ Either it happened or it didn't.
口語
Either 起句重讀，or you don't 放平收。
Either you want the job or you don't. 要麼你想要這份工作，要麼不想。
“How come you never looked for her?”
你怎麼從來沒去找過她？
多年心結壓成一句追問，沒有抱怨，只有不甘。
How come you never ...?
追問親人為何沒做某事時用；語氣比 Why didn't you 更口語。
Why didn't you ever go looking for her? ／ How come nobody ever tried to find her?
口語
How come 連讀，looked for her 一帶而過。
How come you never told me about him? 你怎麼從來沒跟我提過他？
“I didn't think you'd carry it like a fucking disease.”
我沒想到你會像得了病一樣放不下。
把悲傷比成病，粗話裡全是父親不懂如何安慰的笨拙。
I didn't think you'd carry it like ...
說自己沒料到對方會這麼放不下時用；對傷心的人說很傷人。
I never thought it would stay with you like that. ／ I didn't expect you to hold on to it this long.
口語
didn't think 連讀，carry it 彈舌，disease 壓低。
I didn't think you'd carry it like a grudge. 我沒想到你會記這麼久。
“I made my peace with it. You make yours.”
我已經認了。你也認了吧。
把自己的了結推給兒子，聽起來像勸，其實是把包袱傳下去。
I made my peace with it. You make yours.
勸別人接受無法改變的事時用；對剛失去親人的人說顯得冷。
I've come to terms with it. You should too. ／ I've made peace with it, and so should you.
中性
made my peace 連讀，You make yours 重讀收尾。
I made my peace with the past. You make yours. 我已經跟過去和解了。你也和解吧。
Look, when your mother left... ...you cried so hard you were throwing up. All over the parlor. So I told you if you looked around you might End her. Just to give you an activity. I didn't think you'd carry it like a fucking disease. What, you wanna think she was an angel? Go ahead. But look out your front door. ...they're fucking around with kids they don't want... ...and, you know, no sense in their heads. And your mother wasn't no different. That's the hard truth. I made my peace with it. You make yours.
聽著，你媽走的時候…… ……你哭得都吐了。吐得客廳到處都是。 ……所以我跟你說，你四處找找，說不定能找到她。 就是想給你找點事做。 我沒想到你會像得了病一樣放不下。 怎麼，你還想把她當聖人？ 隨你。 可你往自家門外看看。 ……那些女人跟不想要的孩子瞎搞…… ……你知道，腦子裡一點數都沒有。 你媽也沒兩樣。 這就是難聽的大實話。 我已經認了。你也認了吧。
下一章 · 12a code of silence沉默守則這場戲：探員放話絕不妥協黑話，指「被警察盯上了」。道格說只是換個活法，父親馬上追問 Either you got heat or you don't，就是「你到底是不是被盯上了」。
go dark。道格說 Going dark for a minute，就是「先消失一陣」，多指暫時躲開警察、媒體或麻煩。
指「認了、跟某事了結」。父親說 I made my peace with it. You make yours.，就是「我已經認了，你也認了吧」，勸兒子別再糾結母親的事。
ask around。道格問父親 How come you never tried to call nobody or look for her, or ask around?，就是問他為什麼沒打電話、沒找、也沒四處打聽。
口語裡是「不受窩囊氣、誰也別想欺負我」，很硬也很衝。父親說自己 Can't take no shit，就是不肯忍氣吞聲，寧可惹麻煩。
good behavior。道格勸父親 put a year together of good behavior，就是「攢夠一年表現良好」，這是減刑或轉監時會看的記錄。
