 情景对话：

Gordon: So let me get this correct. You want to make T-shirts for your business with no business connection¹. Okay. This is your journey², but it might end here.

Max: No, no, no, see, it's a cupcake, and we sell cupcakes, so that's the "bidness." Okay, you know what? Screw³ this! That t-shirt is way cool, and if you can't see it, this seminar⁴ is so not worth the $1,000 I paid. Peace out.
