这场戏：录影带现场马丁发飙
第 5 章 · 共 10 章 · 2'59"
拍星期一乐队音乐录影带时，托尼一本正经爆料：西兰花是邦德片制片人 Cubby Broccoli 培育的，That was invented by Cubby Broccoli（那是卡比·布罗科利培育出来的）。可制作人马丁正躲在里面发疯，大家 None of us had a clue what to do（谁都不知道该怎么办）。想学英国人怎么闲聊、怎么形容一团乱，这段很典型。

剧组在拍星期一乐队的音乐录影带。托尼跟人闲聊：单曲两周前就该做完，可制作人马丁·汉尼特总有点磨蹭，还抛出一条冷知识——西兰花是邦德片制片人 Cubby Broccoli 培育的，That was invented by Cubby Broccoli（那是卡比·布罗科利培育出来的）。镜头一转，马丁正在里面又哭又闹、破口大骂，大家 None of us had a clue what to do（谁都不知道该怎么办）。最后托尼嘴上不饶人：You can't threaten me any more（你威胁不了我了），可对方是个大块头——a big man but you're out of shape（块头大，身材却走样了）。想学英式闲聊、吐槽和硬撑场面，这场全有。

下一章 · 06nice as pie嘴甜这场戏：搞垮政府反被呛指身材走样、体力不行。托尼被大块头威胁时，反过来呛一句 You're a big man but you're out of shape，就是「你块头大，可体力不行了」。
英国口语，意思是「接着干、抓紧推进」，相当于 carry on。台词说 must crack on, get these rehearsals done，就是「得抓紧把排练搞完」。
had a clue 指「知道、有头绪」，常用否定 not have a clue。台词说 None of us had a clue what to do，就是「我们谁都不知道该怎么办」。
作动词指「出钱资助、给项目掏钱」。台词说布罗科利家的钱 bankrolled the Bond films，就是那笔钱资助了 007 电影。
说 out of shape，也可以说 out of condition。形容人胖了、体力差了都能用，和 in shape（状态好）相对。
