这场戏：谈妥留在豪宅改剧本
第 6 章 · 共 19 章 · 3'08"
诺玛嫌剧本缺对白，又怕被人 butchered（被乱改），干脆把乔留下改稿，还保证 I'll make it worth your while（不会让你白干），当晚就让他住进车库上的房间。乔心里美滋滋，自嘲一句 I dropped the hook（下饵引对方上钩）。想学谈条件和自嘲式旁白，这段很地道。

诺玛把自己的剧本拿给乔看，说 I will not have it butchered（我绝不许别人把它改得面目全非），却又承认它 needs a little more dialog（需要多点对白）。她想找个信得过的人来编辑，问过乔的星座，听说他是射手座，当场拍板 I want you to do this work（这活儿我要你来做），还保证 I'll make it worth your while（不会让你白干），甚至不让他把稿子带出家门。乔本想推掉，说自己还有另一个 assignment（活儿）要交，可待遇实在诱人。最后他住进了车库上的房间，旁白得意地总结：I dropped the hook（我抛下鱼钩），她一口就咬上来了。想学谈报酬、婉拒和旁白吐槽，这段都对得上。

下一章 · 07not by a long shot差得远呢这场戏：被逼搬进豪宅改剧本意思是「不会让你白干、会让你觉得值」。诺玛请乔改剧本时说 I'll make it worth your while，就是承诺报酬给够。
butchered。诺玛心疼自己的剧本，说 I will not have it butchered，就是「我绝不许别人把它改得面目全非」。
指「真是个怪人」，也可以是好玩的、有个性的人。乔说诺玛 quite a character，语气里又惊又好奇。
字面是「把鱼钩放下去」，引申为「下饵、设套引对方上钩」。旁白说自己 dropped the hook，诺玛一口就咬上来了。

something wrong with。诺玛提起乔说过 There's something wrong with your car，就是「你的车出了毛病」。
