这场戏：煤气泄漏后讲膝盖糗事
第 13 章 · 共 15 章 · 4'29"
弗兰在巴克斯特的公寓里开煤气烧水，却忘了点火，满屋子煤气味差点出事。她自嘲 Some people take, some people get took（有人索取，有人被索取），巴克斯特则讲出自己为爱开枪打中膝盖的糗事，说 But I got over the girl in three weeks（那姑娘我三周就走出来了）。想学怎么用英文安慰失恋的人，这段最暖。

电话那头，奥尔森约谢尔德雷克太太吃饭，说这事跟你丈夫有关；另一边，巴克斯特赶回公寓，发现弗兰开了煤气却没点火，满屋子煤气味，幸亏有人闻出来。逃过一劫后，弗兰感慨 Some people take, some people get took（有人索取，有人被索取），说自己是被占便宜的那类人。巴克斯特为了让她好受，讲出自己当年为爱举枪、结果打中膝盖的往事，还说 But I got over the girl in three weeks（可那姑娘我三周就走出来了），甚至拿出对方每年寄来的水果蛋糕作证。想学安慰失恋、自嘲和化解尴尬的地道说法，这段又暖又好笑。

重点不在恋爱，而在 get over 这个说放下的实用说法。

And I was mad about her. But I knew it was hopeless and I decided to end it all. - Do you know Cincinnati? - No, I don't. Anyway, I parked the car and I loaded that gun...

Yeah! I was sittin' there, tryin' to decide. A cop came up because I was illegally parked. I tried to hide the gun under the seat and it went off. - That's terrible! - It was a year till I could bend the knee. But I got over the girl in three weeks.
我疯狂地爱着她。可我知道没指望了，就决定一了百了。 ——你知道辛辛那提吗？——不知道。 总之，我把车停好，给枪上了膛…… 报纸上老写有人开枪自杀。信我，没那么容易。 我是说，往哪儿打？这儿？这儿？还是这儿？ ——你知道我最后打中哪儿了吗？——哪儿？ ——这儿。——膝盖？！ 对！我当时就坐在那儿，拿不定主意。 一个警察走过来，因为我违章停车了。 我想把枪藏到座位底下，结果它走火了。 ——太惨了！——我过了整整一年膝盖才弯得下来。 可那姑娘，我三个星期就走出来了。
