摩登家庭第三季 第29期:小卡不收拾厨房残局

When? Why didn't you tell me? Th-this is kind of important. 什么时候？你怎么没告诉我？这么重要的事。

Well, when does it say? 上面写的是什么时候？

Uh, well, who knows? It disappears into Jennifer Aniston's hair. You gotta get a better system. 谁知道？到詹妮弗·安妮斯顿头发那儿就看不清了。你以后要换个方法记事。

There is nothing wrong with my system. Ask me anything about any upcoming event. I can tell you when and where it is. 我记事的方法好得很。随便问我什么日程安排。我马上能告诉你时间地点。

When is the adoption agency visit? 收养机构家访是什么时间？

What happened here? 这儿发生什么了？

Well, Lily and I woke up in a French mood, so we decided³ to whip up some crepes. 一大早起床时。莉莉和我心系法式风情。所以我们决定自制些法国薄饼。

I'll clean it up. - Will you? 我会打扫的。-你会吗？

Just say what's on your mind. - You never clean up. 心里有话不妨直说。-你不会打扫的。

Save the gasp⁴. Cam, whenever you get creative in the kitchen, I'm the one who ends up cleaning it up, okay? 气结也没用。小卡，每次你在厨房研究新菜式，总是我来收拾残局，好吗？

The homemade pizza, fondue, molecular⁵ gastronomy⁶. I'm still cleaning shrimp⁷ foam⁸ out of the curtains. 自制披萨，芝士火锅，分子烹饪，诸如此类。到现在窗帘上的虾沫尚未清理干净。

Okay, you know, Mitchell? Just go to work, okay? 行了，米奇尔，你放心去上班吧。

I'm gonna take Lily to school, and then when I get home, I'm gonna scrub this place like a crime scene, which it is, because you've murdered joy. 我来送莉莉上学，等我回家的时候，我就清理"饭醉现场"，不留蛛丝马迹，也的确是犯罪现场，因为你扼杀了我的乐趣。

Hey, buddy⁹. What's up? -Hey, dad. Think fast. 伙计，干吗呢？-老爸。接招。

Oh, my god! -Oh, my god! -Oh, my god! If we had that on tape, it'd be the greatest youtube video ever! 我的天啊！-好神奇！-太神奇了！如果我们把这个录下来了，它肯定会是Youtube史上最佳视频！

We'd get, like, a million hits. This is our double rainbow! （惊现双彩虹：Youtube超人气视频）会有一百万点击率，直逼《惊现双彩虹》！

We need to do it again. 我们得再来一遍。

Oh, I would, buddy, but, uh, your mom's all over me to change a bunch of lightbulbs. 我也想，伙计，但是你妈妈有好多灯泡要我换呢。

How many moms does it take to screw on a lightbulb? -I don't know. 拧一个灯泡需要几个妈妈？-不知道。
