A baby? That's your merchandise? 孩子就是你的商品吗

Why didn't you tell me? 你为什么不告诉我

Well because at the time you didn't need to know. 因为那时 时机未到

Really? Or you thought I wouldn't take the job? 是吗 还是你怕我不会接受这个任务

On the contrary 恰恰相反

I thought it would be more effective if you found out yourself. 我认为 你自己发现的话会更有效果

After seeing Ashley's hard life 你亲眼目睹阿什莉艰苦的生活后

Actually we have an agreement 事实上 我们有过协议

and my agreements are always honored. 而我的协议必须要兑现

If not I'm going to have to involve the police 否则 我会报警

Who knows what she was after? 谁知道她要偷什么

You know no jury in the world will put a woman in jail 没有哪个陪审团会因为一个女人

whose only reason for breaking and entering was to keep her child. 想留住自己的孩子 而把她送进监狱

I'm willing to roll the dice¹ that contract doesn't stand up. 我愿意跟你赌 那协议根本没有法律效力

Are you? 你敢吗

Not to mention what might come out about you in the process. 更不用说 还可能牵出你在此事中的问题

Somehow I suspect there is more to you than a simple pawnbroker². 不知为何 我总感觉你不只是当铺老板这么简单

You really want to start that fight? 你真要撕破脸皮吗

I like you Ms. Swan. You're not afraid of me 我喜欢你 斯旺女士 你不怕我

and that's either cocky or presumptuous³. 要么是你骄狂 要么是你自大
