这场戏：跟父亲摊牌要辞职
第 25 章 · 共 27 章 · 2'47"
托尼走进父亲的办公室，平静地说自己要辞职，父亲当场愣住。他说辞呈已经 handed in（递交了），其实这些年一直想说，却怎么也 get it out（把话说出口）。父亲念叨着为他铺好的路，托尼只说这一行他从来不想沾。想学辞职的说法、想学怎么把难开口的话说出来，这段很到位。

「把话说出口」：couldn't get it out

托尼走进父亲柯比的办公室，平静地说自己辞职了，父亲一时没缓过来。他解释，辞呈已经 handed in（递交了）：本来他还想 hang on to（保住）这份工作，等和爱丽丝的事理顺再说，可现在都结束了，等下去也没意义。他说自己从来不想要这一行，打算先离开一阵子，回来也许去做当年和鲍勃·史密斯瞎搞的那个「草为什么绿」的研究。可这些话他憋了很久，一直 get it out（把话说出口）都难。想学辞职的说法、想学「保住」，还有「把话说出口」，这段话都能对上。
