这场戏：带晚餐上门聊婚事
丽莎提着晚餐上门，先调侃杰夫的烟盒 has seen better days（风光不再），又说要送他一个新烟盒。两人从裙子、专栏聊到工作，她劝杰夫安定下来，甚至帮他张罗任务。杰夫却想象自己开着吉普车、穿军靴、留三天胡子去时装沙龙的样子。想学挖苦老物件、劝人和拌嘴的英文，这场最精彩。

《后窗》这段在杰夫的公寓里：丽莎提着晚餐和酒上门，一边调侃他的旧烟盒 has seen better days（风光不再），一边说要送他一个素净的新烟盒。她聊起自己的工作和今天见的各路人物，劝杰夫安定下来，还说 Isn't it time you came home?（你是不是该回家了？），可以 pick your assignment（自己挑任务）。杰夫不领情，反问她 Can you see me driving down to the fashion salon in a jeep, wearing combat boots and a three-day beard?（你能想象我开着吉普车、脚踩军靴、三天没刮胡子去时装沙龙的样子吗？）。两人聊到婚事和去留，最后不欢而散。想学挖苦、劝人和拌嘴的英文，这段很够用。
