舞蹈决赛现场，帕特和蒂芙尼准备上场，杰克还在担心那注赌，帕特尔一句 Excelsior（精益求精）给帕特打气。另一边，妮基突然出现，场面一下子紧张起来：有人提到，只要她看到帕特现在过得很好，说不定就会 lift the restraining order（解除禁制令）。罗尼则忙着替帕特说情，说帕特告诉他绝不该把一段婚姻 out the window（随手抛弃），还反复说过好几遍，这是帕特的机会，大家得 give him a chance（给某人一次机会）。想学赛前打气、替人求情、化解僵局的英语，这段都很实用。

把「记住美好」说成一句请求，温柔里带着一点怕失去。

劝人别轻率丢掉重要东西时用；正式文书里不适合。

短句连打三下，越说越急，替朋友求情的那股劲全出来了。

gotta 轻读，give him 连读成 giv-im。
He made one mistake, but you gotta give him a chance. 他就犯了一次错，你总得给他个机会。

还没比就先讨钱，一句玩笑把紧张气氛戳破。

——哦，天哪。哦，天哪。——（罗尼）帕特告诉我的。 他跟我说，绝不该把一段婚姻随手扔掉。 ——他没这么说。——（罗尼）说了。 说了好几遍。这是他的机会。你得给他一个机会。
字面是「扔出窗外」，实际是「随手抛弃、扔到脑后」。台词里说 never throw a marriage out the window，就是「绝不该把一段婚姻随手扔掉」。
restraining order，指法院限制某人接近另一人的命令。台词里说 maybe she'll lift the restraining order，就是「说不定她会解除这道禁制令」。
give someone a chance。台词里 You gotta give him a chance，就是「你得给他一次机会」，常用来替人说情。
scout 作动词是「提前摸底、侦察对手」。台词里 Maybe you should've scouted them，就是「也许你该提前摸摸他们的底」，赛前研究对手常用这个词。
是惊讶时的粗口式感叹，等于「我的天啊」，语气比 wow 重得多。看到出乎意料的场面时用，正式场合要避开。
