这场戏：要勋章反被派去收金属
第 12 章 · 共 18 章 · 2'51"
乔乔跑去问告发犹太人能不能换勋章，对方却被战争愁得满嘴跑火车：I've got Americans to the west, got Russians to the east（西边有美国人，东边有俄国人）。最后他给乔乔派了个活儿，理由是 we need all hands on deck（咱们现在全员都得出手）。想学怎么一本正经地胡扯和派活，这段黑色幽默很足。

乔乔找上门，先问了个敏感问题：If someone turned in a Jew, would they get a medal or something?（要是有人告发一个犹太人，会得到勋章吗？）。对方哪有空理这套，只顾着备战：I've got Americans to the west, got Russians to the east（西边有美国人，东边有俄国人），还说 need all hands on deck（需要全员上阵）。他嘴上说着想象出来的朋友，展示自己重新设计的制服，claim 这套全 copyrighted（申请了版权），然后给乔乔派下今天唯一的活儿——收金属。乔乔当街喊起 Metal for Hitler!（为希特勒收集金属！）和 Pots and pans for the war effort!（为战争献出锅碗瓢盆！）。想学怎么用英语打听、胡扯和派活，这里很典型。

下一章 · 13let alone更别提这场戏：炫耀制服还说抓到犹太人字面是「所有手都到甲板上」，源自航海，意思是「全员上阵、所有人都得出力」。台词里说 we need all hands on deck，就是「眼下大家都要出力」。
