《绝望的主妇》精讲72

卡洛斯：多么有礼貌的小女孩，很明显，你对她的教育非常出色，桑切斯太太。我是说，我们没想过会怎样，但我看得出来，你是格雷斯能拥有的最好的妈妈。你明白我的意思。

桑切斯先生：你...你们把胡安妮塔教育得也很好。

Grace: Mommy, can I have money for ice cream?

Mrs Sanchez: You just had lunch.

Grace: But they have chocolate chip.

Mrs Sanchez: Grace.

Gaby: Oh, let her have some. It's hot. Come on. It'll be my treat.

Grace: Your purse is beautiful.

Gaby: I know. Would you like to hold it?

Grace: It's so soft. I bet it cost a lot, right?

Mrs Sanchez: Grace, you don't ask about money.

Grace: I'm sorry.

Gaby: Oh, that's okay, sweetie. And just so you know, it's Chanel. You can have one of these by working very hard...or by marrying a man who works very hard.

Grace: Thank you!

Carlos: What a polite little girl. You have obviously done a wonderful job, Mrs. Sanchez. I mean, we didn't know what to expect, but I can see Grace couldn't have had a better mother. You know what I mean.

Mr Sanchez: Uh, y-you've done a wonderful job with Juanita.

Gaby: Thank you. You know, when I got pregnant, I didn't know how I would handle the whole motherhood thing...

Juanita: Mom.

Gaby: But I think I turned out to be pretty good at it.

Juanita: Mom!

Gaby: What?!

Juanita: I need money for ice cream.

Gaby: What is the magic word?

Juanita: I don't know. "Hurry"? Now come on. The truck's pulling away.

Gaby: "Please." The magic word is "Please."

Juanita: Fine. Please. What, we can't afford more than one scoop¹?

Gaby: I'm sorry. What was I saying?

Mrs Sanchez: You were talking about what a good mother you are.

格雷斯：妈妈，可以给我钱买冰淇淋吗？

桑切斯太太：你刚吃过午饭了。

格雷斯：可是有巧克力味的哦。

桑切斯太太：格雷斯。

加比：让她吃点吧，天这么热，来吧，我请你吃。

格雷斯：你的钱包真漂亮。

加比：我知道，你想要拿着它吗？

格雷斯：真软，我猜一定很贵，对吧？

桑切斯太太：格雷斯，不要打听钱的事。

格雷斯：对不起。

加比：没关系，宝贝。告诉你吧，这是香奈儿的。只有非常努力工作，才能拥有香奈儿，或者是嫁给一个努力工作的男人。

格雷斯：谢谢。

卡洛斯：多么有礼貌的小女孩，很明显，你对她的教育非常出色，桑切斯太太。我是说，我们没想过会怎样，但我看得出来，你是格雷斯能拥有的最好的妈妈。你明白我的意思。

桑切斯先生：你...你们把胡安妮塔教育得也很好。

加比：谢谢，我怀孕时，还对为母之道一无所知...

胡安妮塔：妈妈！

加比：不过事实证明我也是个非常好的妈妈。

胡安妮塔：妈妈！

加比：怎么啦！

胡安妮塔：给我钱买冰淇淋。

加比：我教你的那个魔力词呢？

胡安妮塔：什么魔力词 "快点"？别磨蹭了，冰淇淋车车快开走了。

加比："请" 魔法词是"请"。

胡安妮塔：好的，请。怎么啦？多买一个球我们家就揭不开锅了吗？

加比：抱歉，我刚才讲到哪了？

桑切斯太太：你讲到你是怎样的一个好妈妈。
