You're still hanging round him. - Yeah, well...- Opposites attract, I suppose.

你还在跟他混啊。-对...-异性相吸吧。

No. We're not...You should get yourself a hobby. Stamps, - maybe. Model trains. Safer. - Before you ask, yes, it's Monkford's blood. DNA¹ checks out.

不，我俩不是...你该培养点爱好，集邮啊-拼模型啊，比这安全多了。-不用问了，对，是蒙福德的血，DNA已经证实了。

Really strange that he hired a car. Why would he do that? It's a bit suspicious³, isn't it?

Sorry, what?

什么？

I referred to her husband in the past tense. She joined in. Bit premature⁵. They've only just found the car.

But surely you can afford one - a Mazda, - I mean. - Yeah, fair point.

你肯定买得起吧-我是说马自达。-对，差不多吧。

You know how...It's like working in a sweet shop. Once you start eating the Liquorice Allsorts, where does it stop?

Have you got any change for the cigarette machine?

你有零钱吗，我想买烟？
