You're going after Tim Doogan's promotion?

你要去争取TIM DUGGAN的晋升机会?

No. I already got it. You should've seen me.

不. 我已经得到了。你应该看到我今天所做的事。

I walked straight into Peterson's office and I told him he would be a fool to hold Doogan's promotion.

我径直冲进PETERSON的办公室告诉他，如果他升DUGGAN的职, 他将是个傻子。

You called your boss a fool?

你叫你老板傻子?

I did. That was risky in retrospect, but you know what? Still, he gave me the job.

是的。回想起来那真是冒险啊，但你知道么, 他依然给我了那份工作。

Look at me. It's me, I'm the man, I got the whole west coast.

No. No, you didn't.

Okay, so it's gonna be a little bit more travel.

More travel? Tom, you're barely here half the time as it is.

更多的旅行? TOM, 你现在只有一半时间在家里。

Now you're going to have -- what, twice the work load?

而现在你的工作量又要翻倍?

Honey? Please, don't ruin this.

亲爱的, 拜托, 不要破坏这一切。

I'm sorry, but you should have consulted me.

对不起, 但是你应该和我谈谈。

I did. You told me to stop being a shrinking violet and to step up.

Look, wait, wait. I know what this means to you.

No, you don't. No, you don't. I am forty-one years old. If I don't make vice president now, it's never gonna happen.

不, 你不知道。不, 你不知道, 我41岁了。如果我现在不能做到副主管，永远都做不到了。

This is my career. It's, it's important to me.
