That's all there is to it. Carlos, can you stop putting for two seconds and show me some support?

就是这样Carlos，你能停会吗？给我点支持。

Carlos:What do you expect me to do? You brought this on yourself.

要我做什么？你自己提起的。

It was a harmless little kiss! Why is everybody making a big deal about this?

只是个无伤大雅的吻，为什么大家都当会事。

Because you had an affair with an underage gardener.

People don't think you're harmless. They see you as a predator².

人们认为你是威胁，他们知道你不是吃素的。

You're enjoying this, aren't you?

你在得意，是吧？

Punishing me, dangling³ the affair overmy head? Well, I won't tolerate it.

惩罚我，不时提起外遇，我不会忍着的。

Really? So just what are you going to do about it?

真的？那想怎么办？

I'm going to let you even the score. Carlos, go have an affair.

我要让你打平比分Carlos，去搞婚外情吧。

What?

I had my little indiscretion. So you go have yours.

我自己做了一点轻率的举动，所以你也应该做一点。

Get it out of your system. I know you want to.

摆脱你常规的生活，我知道你想做。

I do not.

我不想。

Sure you do. Knock yourself out. Call upan old college flame. Rent a call girl.

你当然想疯狂一点，打电话给你以前大学的旧情人，或找个应召女郎。

Fly to Africa and nail that little nun⁴ you've been drooling over. I don't care!

或飞去非洲缠着那个你在梦里想念的可爱小修女，我不在乎。

You'r e cr azy.

你疯了。

No, I'm pragmatic. Because once you finish your fling, we'll be equals again.

不，我很现实。因为一旦你的冲动行为结束了，我们就又平等了。

And then you won't be able to judge me.

你也就不能再这样指责我了。

And we can go back to being a boring, average married couple.
