Martha: Hey, I’m a regular customer, Cullen. $2,00 is too much.

Martha：嘿，我是常客了，库伦，2美元太贵了

Cullen: Ok, Mrs. Patterson. How does $1,80 sound to you?

Cullen：行了，帕特森小姐，1.8美元听起来怎么样？

Martha: Well, it does sound better, but $1,70 would be fair…

Marth：嗯，听起来好一点，但1.7会公平一点

Cullen: Mrs. Patterson, you’re killing me here! Where’s my profit?

Vinnie: An old car?! What do you mean? I’m only selling it because I’m getting married. This is a great car!

Vinne：旧车？你这什么意思？因为我要结婚了我才出售的

Ginna: I’ll give you fifteen!

Ginna：当然没有，我会先去银行，一会就会回来

Vinnie: While you do that, I’ll get the papers so we can sign. I’ll wait for you here.

Vinnie：你做那的同时，我会取来协议然后签字，我会在这里等你
