这场戏：饭桌讲装疯脱罪案
第 11 章 · 共 23 章 · 3'07"
饭桌上，阿隆佐把杰克介绍给几位老警探，有人讲起一个盗窃犯用花生酱装疯脱罪的故事。他 work the system（钻制度的空子），连法官都 fell for it（上了当），一天牢都没坐。想听懂美剧里那种带脏字又自嘲的圈内笑话，这种老警察饭局最真实。

❝ 独白 · 27 句 花生酱逃刑的笑话
越讲越荒诞，最后落在一个让人无话可说的结局上。
阿隆佐带杰克走进一家饭馆，把他介绍给卢、斯坦和道格几位老警察：要找联邦的人，就先找他们；搞错了案子，斯坦能把你整得很难看；道格专办大额盗窃案。席间有人讲起一个连环盗窃犯的故事：那家伙弄来花生酱塞进屁股，在法官面前掏出来舔干净，装作疯子。他 work the system（钻制度的空子），法官 fell for it（上了当），把他送进精神病院，一天牢都没坐。阿隆佐听完说，他要到街上找到这家伙，把他做了。想聊规则、套路和上当受骗，这几个说法都很实用。

“I don't talk to dead men.”
我不跟死人说话。
六个词把威胁说到骨头里，不喊不叫，却比骂人更冷。
I don't talk to ...
当面划清界限、甩狠话时用；对朋友开玩笑会显得太冲。
I don't deal with dead men. ／ I don't waste words on the dead.
口语
talk to 连读，dead men 重读，句尾压低收。
I don't talk to people who lie to my face. 我不跟当着我面撒谎的人说话。
“You know, if you lose a Picasso, he'll find it for you or die trying. He's a good man.”
你要是丢了幅毕加索，他拼了命也会给你找回来。这人是好人。
用一件贵重失物就把一个人的分量说满，夸得又狠又暖。
if you lose X, he'll find it or die trying
向别人郑重推荐某人时用；对刚认识的人这样夸会显得夸张。
If you lose it, he won't stop until it's back. ／ He'd move heaven and earth to get it back.
口语
lose a 连读，or die trying 三词一顿，句尾放轻。
If you lose your passport, she'll track it down or die trying. 你要是丢了护照，她拼了命也会帮你找回来。
“You think about him before you pull the trigger. Because if you're wrong,”
开枪之前先想想他。因为一旦你搞错了——
把开枪的后果提前摆上桌，一句话就是一条执法红线。
Think about X before you ...
提醒别人做决定前想清后果时用；轻松场合说会显得扫兴。
Think twice before you pull the trigger. ／ Consider the cost before you act.
中性
before you 连读，trigger 重读，后半句放慢。
Think about your family before you quit your job. 辞职之前先想想家里人。
“I am not dead yet.”
我还没死呢。
被人当面说「不跟死人说话」，一句回敬不卑不亢，把挑衅原样顶回去。
I'm not dead yet.
被人小看、被当面下判断时回敬一句用；对长辈或客户说会显得不敬。
I'm not dead yet. ／ Not dead yet, thank you.
口语
am not 弱读，not 重读，yet 干脆收。
They wrote me off years ago, but I'm not dead yet. 他们早就不看好我了，可我还没死呢。
There's this serial burglar and, uh... A real slickster, gave up nothing. Captain's riding my ass the entire time. Sentencing was today. Judge is female. That's right, Landers. Yeah, I know Landers. She's a sharp lady. No. So before the hearing, Guy gets hold of some peanut butter. Packs his ass crack with it. What? Then he's standing tall before the bench. And he's waiting to give his statement. So he shoves his hand down his pants. Comes out with a gob of extra Chunky Jif. Bailiffs won't come near him. Now he's... Now he's looking the judge right in the eyes. And licks his fingers clean. Holy shit! So the judge says, uh, Oh, this poor man's insane. He can't go to prison. Orders him to psychiatric. She fell for it. Yeah, that's because she's so fucking smart. Time she found out it was sandwich spread. The order was signed, the guy's been transferred. Proceedings closed. Yeah, closed. That prick will do 6 months in the puzzle factory. Then they'll call him normal and let him loose. Never ever do a day in prison.
有这么个连环盗窃犯，呃…… 那家伙精得很，一个字都不肯吐。 队长从头到尾一直催我。 今天宣判。 法官是个女的。 没错，兰德斯。 是啊，我认识兰德斯。她是个厉害的女人。 没有 所以开庭之前， 这家伙弄来点花生酱，往屁股沟里塞。 啊？ 然后他直挺挺地站在审判台前。 他等着做陈述，就把手伸进裤子里。 掏出来一大坨带颗粒的花生酱。 法警都不敢靠近他。 这会儿他直勾勾地盯着法官的眼睛。 把手指舔得干干净净。 我靠。 法官就说，呃，哦，这可怜人疯了，不能送他去监狱。 下令送他去精神病院。 她上当了。 是啊，就因为她他妈太聪明了。 等她发现那只是三明治抹酱，命令已经签了，人也转走了。 程序到此结束。 对，结了。 那混蛋在疯人院蹲六个月，然后他们说他正常了，就把他放了。 一天牢都不用坐。
下一章 · 12off the radar低调行事这场戏：搜查令也得花钱指钻制度的空子、把规则玩明白。片里那家伙靠装疯逃过坐牢，大家说他 worked the system，意思是制度反被他利用了。
说 fell for it。法官信了那套装疯的表演，就是 She fell for it；口语里也能说你被人骗了，说 you fell for it。
不是骂人，是抱怨被人死盯着催个不停。队长催案子，就说 Captain's riding my ass，语气比中文的「催命」轻一点。
可以说 take your back，也有人用 I've got your back。片里说他 can take your back for you，就是这人能替你挡着、护着你。
指联邦探员、联邦机构的人，也就是 FBI 这类。片里提醒有联邦的事先找那个人谈，说明他路子通、能帮忙。
