第 1 章 · 共 16 章 · 3'16"
塔格特铁路的姐弟俩为一条烂线吵翻：詹姆斯嫌怀亚特是 greedy bastard（贪心的混蛋），怪妹妹一直 pissing off（得罪）大客户；达格妮却拍板改用没人敢用的里尔登金属，说 You don't have to take responsibility, Jim. I will（你不用负责，吉姆，我来）。想学职场吵架、担责的硬气说法，很带感。

❝ 独白 · 5 句 詹姆斯的情绪指责
五句层层加码，把职场分歧变成对姐姐人格的审判。
塔格特横贯铁路的办公室里，达格妮和哥哥詹姆斯为里奥诺特线吵起来。詹姆斯抱怨退订不断、怀亚特是 greedy bastard（贪心的混蛋），怪达格妮一直 pissing off（得罪）公司的命脉。达格妮则宣布已经向里尔登钢铁订了新钢轨，还说要去费城 finalize the deal（敲定交易）。詹姆斯反对，说那金属 untested（没测试过），自己 I'm not taking responsibility（我可不负责）。达格妮回他：You don't have to take responsibility, Jim. I will（你不用负责，吉姆，我来）。詹姆斯最后酸她：I don't think you've ever felt a thing（我觉得你从来没感受过任何东西）。想学职场争吵、担责和硬气的回击，很过瘾。
