That's pronounced "Ay-vee-ann." 正确的读音是"小鸟"。

Well, it sounds seedy. 反正听上去很寒酸。

It is. It's a kennel⁴ for birds. It's where I picked up George. 没错，那是个鸟类收容所。我得去那里接乔治。

There's a George, too? 竟然还有个乔治？

Calm down. I'm talking about a cockatoo. 淡定，我指的是一只白鹦鹉(一两根鸡鸡)。

One or two. Is that all? How blasé? 一两根啊，仅此而已吗？真无趣啊？

Cam, George is a bird, 小卡，乔治是一只鸟。

And Spencer is an old man I've been hanging out with at the park, because I...I got laid off. 斯宾塞是最近在公园里跟我一起玩的老人，因为我...我被裁员了。

You lost your job? 你丢了工作吗？

I'm sorry. I just -- I couldn't tell you that I was out of work again. 对不起，我...我没脸告诉你我又失业了。

I...I feel like such a loser. 我，我感觉我真是个失败的人。

No, please. My gosh. As long as you're not cheating on me, that's all that matters. 不，别这么说，天啊。只要你没背着我找小三就行了，那才是真正重要的。

Something will come up. You're a great lawyer. 肯定会有其他机会的，你是个出色的律师。

Oh, thank you. I just -- I don't think that we can get that apartment right now. 谢谢，我只是...我觉得我们现在没办法买下那间公寓了。

Of course we can. We already have the down payment. 当然可以了。我们已经存够首付款了啊。

And you know what? We could get renters. We could it into an Airbnb. 再说我们还可以租出去呢。我们可以把它变成家庭旅馆。

Really? Different people every week? 不是吧？每周都住着不同的人？

How exciting and new. It'd be like "The Love Boat". 很新鲜刺激啊。就跟电视剧《爱之船》一样。

Hey, Mom, have a second? 老妈，你有空吗？

Already am. 现在就有。

I wanted to give you a present. 我想送你一份礼物。

Me? No. Honey, I want to give you a present. That's what I've been trying to do all day. 我吗？不是吧。亲爱的，我想送你一份礼物才对。我已经绞尽脑汁想了一天该送你什么。

You are the last person who should give me anything. You got me here. 你是最不需要送我任何礼物的人了。是你帮我走到今天。

You got me to graduation, to Caltech. You did it. And you're done. 你让我成功毕业，进入加州理工学院。是你的功劳。你的任务已经完成了。
