Wall Street? Did you have a little candy tray you walked around with? 华尔街啊？你以前推糖果小车在那一带叫卖吗？

Open a candy store, be my own boss. 开家糖果店，当自己的老板。

And pretty soon, Candy Andy will rule the world of sweets and treats. That sound braggy? 要不了多久，糖果安迪将一统糖界天下。会太臭屁吗？

No. All right, kick everybody out, and let's go back to my place. 不会。好啦，赶其他人回家吧，然后跟我回家去。

Ah...Max, no offense⁴, but I'm more into your friend. 麦克斯，无意冒犯，但我喜欢的是你朋友。

Um, Andy, no offense, but I'm more into the candy than the Andy. 安迪，无意冒犯，但我喜欢的是你的糖果。

I want you to come to my apartment and say hey to Caroline. 我想你来我家跟卡洛琳打个招呼。

I was right. You two are perfect for each other. 我之前说的没错。你们两个是天生一对。
