这场戏：谈绑架又向老丈人借钱
第 2 章 · 共 16 章 · 2'49"
杰里跟两个绑匪谈价钱，被当面抢白：So, why don't you just ask him for the money?（那你干嘛不直接跟他开口要钱？）。他支支吾吾，转头回家，又低三下四向老丈人借钱。想练怎么求人、怎么被怼，这段够用。
「怎么不直接开口要钱」英语说 ask him for the money
ask him for the money 跟他开口要钱even if 即使、就算personal matters 私事
「我这是当面求你」英语说 I'm asking you here
a heck of a lot 一大堆、特别多parking lot 停车场work out 成事、有好结果I'm asking you here 我这是当面求你
杰里急着要钱，找两个绑匪替他办事，自己却不肯掏钱，被人一句话顶回来：干嘛不直接找她爸或者你老婆要？他张口结舌，只说 these are personal matters（这都是私事）。回到家，老丈人韦德已经在，儿子扒两口饭就溜去麦当劳。饭桌上杰里开口向韦德借钱搞一个停车场项目，韦德嫌 it's a heck of a lot（一大堆），杰里只好低声说 I'm asking you here（我这是当面求你）。他还说成了的话 Jean and Scotty never have to worry（就再也不用发愁了）。求人、推脱、被将一军，这几句里全有。

“So, why don't you just ask him for the money?”
那你干嘛不直接跟他开口要钱？
一句反问就把整件事的荒谬戳穿：绕这么大圈子，为什么不直接开口。
Why don't you just ...?
半带着急地给对方提建议时用；对长辈或上司这样说会显得冒犯。
Why not just ask him straight out? ／ Why go around it instead of asking?
口语
why don't you 连读，just 和 ask 轻快带过，句尾上扬。
Why don't you just ask your boss for the day off? 你干嘛不直接跟老板请一天假？
“This could work out real good for me and Jean and Scotty.”
这事要是成了，对我、琼和斯科蒂都好。
把老婆孩子都摆出来当理由，听着像为家着想，其实是在套岳父的钱。
This could work out well for someone.
推销计划、争取支持时用；拿家人当筹码会让人反感。
It would be great for all of us. ／ This could really pay off for the whole family.
中性
could 轻读，real good 吞成一块，Jean and Scotty 连成一串。
This could work out well for the whole team. 这事要是成了，对整个团队都有好处。
“They don't know I need it, see?”
他们不知道我需要钱，明白吗？
末尾那个 see 是心虚的人找补的口气，一句把隐瞒和侥幸都带出来了。
They don't know ..., see?
向人解释并求对方理解时用；正式场合的 see 会显得随意。
They don't know I need it, you see? ／ They have no idea I need it, right?
口语
don't know 连读，see 单独挑出来轻轻上扬。
They don't know I'm still paying it off, see? 他们不知道我还在还那笔钱，明白吧？
“I'm asking you here, Wade.”
韦德，我这是当面求你了。
求人求到不再绕弯，一句就把姿态放了下来。
I'm asking you here, <name>.
把话收回到当面对质、请人当场表态时用；求长辈别用太硬的语气。
I'm coming to you, Wade. ／ I'm asking you personally, Wade.
口语
asking you 连读，here 稍停，Wade 重读收尾。
I'm asking you here, not through anyone else. 我是当面求你，不是托别人转达。
下一章 · 03talk in circles绕圈子这场戏：强推涂层被骂骗子就是「一大堆、特别多」，语气比 a lot 重，也带点无奈或感叹，谈钱、谈工作量时都能用。
personal matters。别人追问你为什么这么做，你又不想细说，就可以说 these are personal matters。
May I be excused? 吃完饭想先离开餐桌，尤其小孩对父母说，礼貌又地道。
这里指「成事、有好结果」。This could work out real good 就是「这事能办成，对大家都有好处」。
I'm asking you here。当你放下身段、认真请求对方时用，比一句 please 更郑重。
