Michael: "Just the way you look tonight." Remember? Okay, kid. You're up.
Kimmy: Well, it's really my father who needs the favor. You see. He's...
reorganizing some of the divisions of the company. Public relations is a real
problem area for him. It would only be, six months? Maybe. Or three or four?
Michael: (to Julianne) And you knew about this.
Julianne: I think you ought to listen to her, Michael. It's her life, too.
Michael: Well, you gonna tell me that Walter thought this one up? Why don't you start by being
honest for one second, Kim?
Kimmy: I am being honest. All of a sudden, I'm supposed to drop out of school, forget my family, forget my
career, forget about all the things I had planned for my life.
Michael: Well forgive me for screwing up your plans! I'm sure glad I'm
hearing all this now, before it's too late!
Kimmy: What is that sup...
Michael: And what am I supposed to do with my life, huh? I work in a
low-paying, zero-respect job. Which,
unfortunately, I happen to love.
Julianne: Michael, it sounds like a great opportunity.
Michael: Does it, really? How come you never took some sellout establishment job? Huh? I'll tell you why.
Because that isn't you. And guess what? Kim. That's not me, either.
Kimmy: Okay, if that's the way you feel...
Michael: Damn straight that's how I feel! Just come out and say it, my job is
not good enough! I am not good enough!
Kimmy: Michael, I never said that.
Michael: Yes, you did. Great, Kim, you wait till two days before our wedding
to drop this on me, and I'm just supposed to roll
over and drool!
Kimmy: No.
Michael: All right. I am an asshole. I am an insensitive sexist asshole.
you'd better...
Kimmy: No, Michael! No, Michael! You are so... so right. And I am so wrong.
We've settled this. And I reneged. That wasn't fair. You have to forgive me, and
forget this ever happened... Okay? Or I'll die. Please!
Michael: I am sorry, I am sorry... I'm so... I love you.
妙詞佳句，活學活用
1． Never can tell.
“誰都沒法說，你永遠都不會知道”。其實像這種表達方式。我們已經學過好多，比如：you never know，God knows，nobody
knows等等。
2. You're up.
You're up. 在這里意思是“go ahead”，“go for it”，用漢語講就是“你說吧”。
3. Thought this one up
其實這個短語中有thought 就夠用了，但是說話者偏偏在后面加一個up，意為加重語氣，與此同時，來強調一下“編造”的事實。仔細回想一下，我們曾講過
You made this up. （你自己編的吧。）不難看出，此句后面結尾的部分同樣也是up，代表編造的意思。
