第 11 章 · 共 23 章 · 3'07"
飯桌上，阿隆佐把傑克介紹給幾位老警探，有人講起一個盜竊犯用花生醬裝瘋脫罪的故事。他 work the system（鑽制度的空子），連法官都 fell for it（上了當），一天牢都沒坐。想聽懂美劇裡那種帶髒字又自嘲的圈內笑話，這種老警察飯局最真實。

❝ 獨白 · 27 句 花生醬逃刑的笑話
越講越荒誕，最後落在一個讓人無話可說的結局上。
阿隆佐帶傑克走進一家飯館，把他介紹給盧、斯坦和道格幾位老警察：要找聯邦的人，就先找他們；搞錯了案子，斯坦能把你整得很難看；道格專辦大額盜竊案。席間有人講起一個連環盜竊犯的故事：那傢伙弄來花生醬塞進屁股，在法官面前掏出來舔乾淨，裝作瘋子。他 work the system（鑽制度的空子），法官 fell for it（上了當），把他送進精神病院，一天牢都沒坐。阿隆佐聽完說，他要到街上找到這傢伙，把他做了。想聊規則、套路和上當受騙，這幾個說法都很實用。

“I don't talk to dead men.”
我不跟死人說話。
六個詞把威脅說到骨頭裡，不喊不叫，卻比罵人更冷。
I don't talk to ...
當面劃清界限、甩狠話時用；對朋友開玩笑會顯得太沖。
I don't deal with dead men. ／ I don't waste words on the dead.
口語
talk to 連讀，dead men 重讀，句尾壓低收。
I don't talk to people who lie to my face. 我不跟當著我面撒謊的人說話。
“You know, if you lose a Picasso, he'll find it for you or die trying. He's a good man.”
你要是丟了幅畢加索，他拼了命也會給你找回來。這人是好人。
用一件貴重失物就把一個人的分量說滿，誇得又狠又暖。
if you lose X, he'll find it or die trying
向別人鄭重推薦某人時用；對剛認識的人這樣誇會顯得誇張。
If you lose it, he won't stop until it's back. ／ He'd move heaven and earth to get it back.
口語
lose a 連讀，or die trying 三詞一頓，句尾放輕。
If you lose your passport, she'll track it down or die trying. 你要是丟了護照，她拼了命也會幫你找回來。
“You think about him before you pull the trigger. Because if you're wrong,”
開槍之前先想想他。因為一旦你搞錯了——
把開槍的後果提前擺上桌，一句話就是一條執法紅線。
Think about X before you ...
提醒別人做決定前想清後果時用；輕鬆場合說會顯得掃興。
Think twice before you pull the trigger. ／ Consider the cost before you act.
中性
before you 連讀，trigger 重讀，後半句放慢。
Think about your family before you quit your job. 辭職之前先想想家裡人。
“I am not dead yet.”
我還沒死呢。
被人當面說「不跟死人說話」，一句回敬不卑不亢，把挑釁原樣頂回去。
I'm not dead yet.
被人小看、被當面下判斷時回敬一句用；對長輩或客戶說會顯得不敬。
I'm not dead yet. ／ Not dead yet, thank you.
口語
am not 弱讀，not 重讀，yet 乾脆收。
They wrote me off years ago, but I'm not dead yet. 他們早就不看好我了，可我還沒死呢。
There's this serial burglar and, uh... A real slickster, gave up nothing. Captain's riding my ass the entire time. Sentencing was today. Judge is female. That's right, Landers. Yeah, I know Landers. She's a sharp lady. No. So before the hearing, Guy gets hold of some peanut butter. Packs his ass crack with it. What? Then he's standing tall before the bench. And he's waiting to give his statement. So he shoves his hand down his pants. Comes out with a gob of extra Chunky Jif. Bailiffs won't come near him. Now he's... Now he's looking the judge right in the eyes. And licks his fingers clean. Holy shit! So the judge says, uh, Oh, this poor man's insane. He can't go to prison. Orders him to psychiatric. She fell for it. Yeah, that's because she's so fucking smart. Time she found out it was sandwich spread. The order was signed, the guy's been transferred. Proceedings closed. Yeah, closed. That prick will do 6 months in the puzzle factory. Then they'll call him normal and let him loose. Never ever do a day in prison.
有這麼個連環盜竊犯，呃…… 那傢伙精得很，一個字都不肯吐。 隊長從頭到尾一直催我。 今天宣判。 法官是個女的。 沒錯，蘭德斯。 是啊，我認識蘭德斯。她是個厲害的女人。 沒有 所以開庭之前， 這傢伙弄來點花生醬，往屁股溝裡塞。 啊？ 然後他直挺挺地站在審判臺前。 他等著做陳述，就把手伸進褲子裡。 掏出來一大坨帶顆粒的花生醬。 法警都不敢靠近他。 這會兒他直勾勾地盯著法官的眼睛。 把手指舔得乾乾淨淨。 我靠。 法官就說，呃，哦，這可憐人瘋了，不能送他去監獄。 下令送他去精神病院。 她上當了。 是啊，就因為她他媽太聰明了。 等她發現那只是三明治抹醬，命令已經簽了，人也轉走了。 程式到此結束。 對，結了。 那混蛋在瘋人院蹲六個月，然後他們說他正常了，就把他放了。 一天牢都不用坐。
下一章 · 12off the radar低調行事這場戲：搜查令也得花錢指鑽制度的空子、把規則玩明白。片裡那傢伙靠裝瘋逃過坐牢，大家說他 worked the system，意思是制度反被他利用了。
說 fell for it。法官信了那套裝瘋的表演，就是 She fell for it；口語裡也能說你被人騙了，說 you fell for it。
不是罵人，是抱怨被人死盯著催個不停。隊長催案子，就說 Captain's riding my ass，語氣比中文的「催命」輕一點。
可以說 take your back，也有人用 I've got your back。片裡說他 can take your back for you，就是這人能替你擋著、護著你。
指聯邦探員、聯邦機構的人，也就是 FBI 這類。片裡提醒有聯邦的事先找那個人談，說明他路子通、能幫忙。
