电影学口语 Lesson 37:[Antz]Talk sb to death

剪辑自《Antz》
The ant:     -oh, Don’t worry, I’m okay.
The princess:  -you? You’re okay?  Hey, who cares about you?
-I almost died here
The ant:      -will you please calm down?
-you are not gonna let a little near-death experience ruin your mood, are you?
The princess:  -hey, this is not a mood . You’re not listening to me.
-where am I ?
-look, what’s –your-name. just climb up that tree and find out where I am.
The ant:      -look, t-the trick is not to panic.
-you know, h-h-he w-who panic is lost.
-what am I saying? We are lost.
The princess:  -I’ve been kidnapped by the village idiot.
The ant:      -who is the bigger idiot? The idiot or the idiot who gets kidnapped by the idiot?
The princess:  -what’d you do, talk those termites¹ to death?
-I can’t believe you tried to pass yourself off as a soldier.
-why are you stalking me?
-don’t you realize that I’m out of your league?
The ant:      -you’re the one who was cruising the worker bar looking for a little action.
And you just happened to find it— the swarthy, earthy, sensual worker.
The princess:  -Please . I was slumming it. Don’t you get it?
I chose you because you were the most pathetic little bug² in the joint³.
The ant: - I was gonna let you become part of my most erotic fantasies.
             but now, you can just forget that. Write it off, you know. I guess what you prefer  is Old Blood and Guts⁴. This guy’s idea of a romantic night out is two seats at a public execution. Boy, you really choose the right husband.The princess:  - For your information, the general and I are deeply deeply –engaged.
