被追问为何爱电影：Get over yourself
有人盯着盖伊问：你一个电影学院毕业生，为什么在给巴迪端咖啡？盖伊聊起最爱的电影记忆，气氛刚缓和，对方一句 Get over yourself（别太把自己当回事）又把他怼回去；聊到挑导演，巴迪更是直接说某人 couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag（连钻出纸袋都做不到）。想听懂这种挖苦，先记这几句。
发生了什么
盖伊是电影学院刚毕业的新人，却给制片高管巴迪当助理、端咖啡。有人当面挤兑他：你是不是用大量 ass kissing（拍马屁）来补上没才华；盖伊聊起自己最爱的电影记忆，气氛一度缓和，可对方转头就是一句 Get over yourself（别太把自己当回事）。另一边，巴迪交代完机密差事，又数落他挑的导演不行，说某人 couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag（连钻出纸袋的本事都没有）。ass kissing 指拍马屁、溜须讨好，同事间吐槽爱讨好的人常说；Get over yourself 是「别太把自己当回事」，对方自作多情时最解气；couldn't ... a paper bag 形容某人无能到极点，骂人尤其形象。

关于这一章的问题
Get over yourself 是什么意思？
意思是「别太把自己当回事、别自作多情」。当有人以为自己很了不起、或自作多情地以为别人喜欢他时，就可以甩这句话。
「拍马屁」英语怎么说？
常见说法是 ass kissing，比较口语、带贬义。动词可以说 kiss someone's ass，比如 he's always kissing the boss's ass 就是「他总拍老板马屁」。
anything but 和 all but 一样吗？
不一样。anything but 是「唯独不是、一点也不」，anything but a writer 就是「干什么都行，就是别当作家」；all but 才表示「几乎、差不多」。
couldn't ... his way out of a paper bag 怎么用？
这是骂人无能的固定说法，字面是「连钻出纸袋都做不到」。常套在动词上，比如 couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag，就是说这人当导演差得离谱。
