　　我拉的关系就是琵琪啊

　　You called Peach without asking me and begged her for a job?

　　你居然擅自打电话，去求琵琪给我们找活儿

　　I didn't beg. I ask her if she knew anybody who could use us and she was more than happy to recommend² us for her friend Constance.

　　No way, I'm not comfortable with this.

　　别想，我不爽这么干

　　What? I have to prove the sex was not that good. Oleg, on the food?

　　干嘛用这么嫌弃的语气。我们进去之前，那火腿就淋过汁了

　　So I am guessing you are back together?

　　那你们俩算是复合咯

　　Oh no no, the sex was not that good. Oh, it was that good.
