Fight, you may die. Run, and you will live at least a while, and dyingin your beds many years from now. Would you be willing to trade? All the days from this day to that, for one chance, just for one chance, to come back here to tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they will never take our freedom!（最令我热血沸腾的一句电影台词）
PART A

M: Yeah, that occasionally happens to me when I work too long.
27. W: U are gone long. Did u have any luck?
M: No, but it wasn’t a total loss. I got a couple of mysteries and I picked up a book on golf for Jack³, for he’s birthday.
28. W: I’m leaving now. So be sure to lock all the lab equipment in the storage room
M: don’t worry, I’ll see that everything’s taken care of
