扎克是不是天生就看不见？布伦达说不是，还讲起扎克四个月大时被摔的那一夜：孩子脑部肿胀，医生说能 make it through the night（熬过这一夜）就算走运。她记得电话里那股 panic in his voice（声音里那股慌乱），也记得自己一遍遍祈祷。后来医生断言他走不了路、开不了口，扎克却一样样 prove everyone wrong（证明所有人都看错了）。说到信仰，布伦达用 a work in progress（还在打磨）形容自己。之后库尔特去她爸爸的车库见家人，两人把「咱俩到底行不行」摊开聊。想学怎么讲一段沉重往事、怎么在感情里试探和让步，这场戏可以反复听。

I got this call from Brad when Zack was four months old. He said, "He's breathing funny." And I still remember the panic in his voice. And I rushed to the hospital... where we were told his brain was swelling and that he'd be lucky to make it through the night. And they had no idea what was wrong 'cause... 'Cause Brad didn't tell us, not for 24 hours... that he accidentally dropped Zack. On his head. In the tub. Oh... Could've been different, you know, if he'd just told the truth. I remember praying and praying and begging God to just save my baby boy. So, the doctor told me he'd never walk, and yet... That he'd never talk, and now, I can't get him to stop. That he'd never be a black truck driver. He keeps finding a way to prove everyone wrong. He's... [INHALES DEEPLY] He's my miracle.
我接到布拉德的电话 那时候扎克才四个月大。 他说：“他喘气不太对劲。” 我到现在还记得他声音里那股慌。 我赶紧冲到医院…… 医生说他脑部在肿，能熬过这一夜就算命大。 可他们根本查不出问题出在哪，因为…… 因为布拉德一直没说，整整二十四小时都没说…… 他不小心把扎克摔了。 头磕了。就在浴缸里。 天哪…… 你知道，他当时要是说了实话，结果可能就不一样了。 我记得 我一遍遍地祈祷，求上帝救救我的孩子。 医生说他一辈子都走不了路，可现在…… 说他永远开不了口，可现在我想让他闭嘴都难。 说他这辈子别想当黑人卡车司机。 他总能想办法证明所有人都错了。 他是……（深吸一口气）他是我的奇迹。

prove everyone wrong。布伦达说医生断言扎克走不了路、开不了口，他却一样样做到，用的就是 He keeps finding a way to prove everyone wrong。
a work in progress。库尔特问她现在还信不信当年教堂里那位女士的话，她说 I'm trying，又说 I'm a work in progress，意思是自己还在慢慢变好。
That's good news。库尔特说两人都成「咱俩」了，布伦达回 Oh, we're an "us" now. That's good news，语气其实是反话，带着调侃。
imagine a scenario where。布伦达说 I'm trying to imagine a scenario where any of this works，用一句设想把顾虑和怀疑说了出来，还不太伤人。
