聊乐队聊成了朋友：squeeze in
彼得和新朋友西德尼聊起高中乐队，一句 slap the bass（弹贝斯）勾起共同爱好，两人约好改天合奏。转头费里尼奥打电话来，嫌他只顾摆三明治、不专心卖房；西德尼又追到办公室，喊他 grab some lunch（随便吃个午饭）顺便 squeeze in（挤出时间）玩一段。想约人抽空见面，这些说法都用得上。
发生了什么
彼得和新朋友西德尼越聊越投机：西德尼说起自己高中时 slap the bass（弹贝斯），两人都是匆促乐队的粉丝，当场约着改天合奏。另一边，房主费里尼奥打来电话大发雷霆，嫌彼得只顾摆三明治，勒令他 focus on（把注意力放在）卖房上。西德尼随后又追到彼得办公室，一边约他 grab some lunch（随便吃个午饭），一边想 squeeze in（挤出时间）一起玩段音乐。这些说法适合聊兴趣爱好、约朋友见面、以及被人催着专心办事的场合。
这场戏看什么
- 留意彼得接客户电话时的卑躬屈膝
- 看悉尼怎么用一句话把气氛救回来
- 注意两人合奏时手部动作的变化
留意这几个短语

关于这一章的问题
slap the bass 是什么意思？
slap 是击弦、拍弦，slap the bass 就是弹贝斯时用拇指敲打琴弦那种玩法。剧中有人说自己高中时 slap the bass，是在聊年轻时的乐队经历。
「挤出时间做某事」英语怎么说？
可以说 squeeze in。它指日程很满，还能挤出一点时间塞进一件事，剧中约人吃饭顺便玩音乐就说 squeeze in a little jam session。
enough with 是什么语气？
是催促又有点不耐烦的语气，意思是别再来、够了。剧中房主嫌食物啰嗦，一句 Enough with the cold cuts 就是叫彼得别再摆冷盘了。
as appetizing as 为什么听着阴阳怪气？
因为它常用来反讽：as appetizing as a plate of dirt，字面是像一盘泥巴一样开胃，实际是说完全没胃口。剧中有人就拿它吐槽剩菜。
totes 是什么说法？
totes 是 totally 的俚语缩写，意思是完全、超级，年轻人爱用。剧中有人应和对方时说 Totes McGotes，就是把「必须的」说得更俏皮。
