酒吧快打烊，库尔特还在猜她的名字。她说 You give me an honest answer and I'll give you my name（你给我一个诚实的回答，我就告诉你名字），于是他讲起父亲教他橄榄球、家里一度很拮据。她被打动，报了名字，又坦白 I'm divorced and I got two kids（我离过婚，还带着两个孩子）。

酒吧里，库尔特还在猜布伦达的名字。她说 You give me an honest answer and I'll give you my name（你给我一个诚实的回答，我就告诉你名字）。于是他认真讲起来：橄榄球是父亲离开前教给他最重要的东西，家里一直过得拮据，Never had enough（总是不够用），所以他想 make something of my life（把人生做出名堂）。他还说，橄榄球是他唯一真正擅长的事，So, just feels like more than a game to me（对我来说，它不只是一场比赛）；As long as I have a ball in my hands（只要手里有球），一切都会好起来。布伦达报了名字，随后又坦白 I'm divorced and I got two kids（我离过婚，还带着两个孩子）。想学怎么认真交心、坦白身世，这段最动人。

So, football was the most important thing my pops taught me before he... uh, left. I mean, he's back in my life now but, you know, back then it was tough... and we always, you know, struggled. Me and my mom, my brother. Never had enough. And I wanted more. I wanted to make something of my life. And football, um, is just like the only thing I've ever really been good at. So, just feels like more than a game to me. As long as I have a ball in my hands, then I feel like everything's gonna be all right. Is that honest enough for you?
我爸……走之前，教给我最重要的东西就是橄榄球。 呃，走之前。 我是说，他现在又回到我的生活里了，但你知道，那时候挺难的…… 我们一直，你知道，过得很拮据。 我、我妈，还有我弟弟。 总是不够用。而我想得到更多。 我想活出个人样来。 而橄榄球，嗯， 大概是我唯一真正擅长的事。 所以对我来说，它不只是一场比赛。 只要我手里有球， 我就觉得一切都会好起来。 这回答够诚实了吗？
下一章 · 04on his own journey有他自己的路要走这场戏：上门修好收音机「也就你一个人这么想」，带点自嘲或调侃。别人夸你、你和对方感觉刚好相反时就能用。戏里布伦达夸库尔特舞跳得好，她用这句自谦。
make something of one's life。make something of 就是「把……做出名堂、有所成就」。台词里 I wanted to make something of my life，就是「我想活出个人样来」。
as long as。后面接一个条件，表示满足它就够了。台词里 As long as I have a ball in my hands, then I feel like everything's gonna be all right，就是「只要我手里有球，就觉得一切都会好起来」。
反问语气，意思是「我怎么会不想呢、当然想」。别人替你否定一件事，你觉得完全没有理由拒绝时用。戏里库尔特听说对方不想给号码，就连连说 Why wouldn't I。
因为她对自己有顾虑。她离过婚、还带着两个孩子，觉得对方知道后未必还想要号码，所以先说 Trust me. You don't want it.，再坦白身世。
