You mean go, as in go home?

你说走，难道是指回家吗？

Well, that's good news, isn't it?

难道这不好吗？

Can't you just keep me overnight for observation?

我就不能留院观察一宿吗？

你知道还有什么不合适的吗，迈耶斯医生？

No, I'm talking about the meatloaf. She didn't make it, did she?

Are you telling me you don't wanna see your old man win the exterminator² of the year award? Oh right.

是说你不想看到你老爸我赢得年度最佳灭虫者奖吗？好了。

That award you think you're going to win every year, but you don't because Murray always does.

你觉着你每年都会赢得那个奖项，但是从没实现过，因为默里总是蝉联该奖项。

Look, there is no way that the same guy can win every year.
