Paresh: Are you shopping for an army?

桑迪：哦，嗨，帕雷什。不是的，我三個侄子過來跟我一起生活。我不知道我拮據的生活該如何撫養(yǎng)他們。

帕雷什：“細水也可長流”，我媽媽是這方面的專家。我家里面有七個孩子。

桑迪：聽起來倒是個不錯的計劃。
Paresh: My mom also never turned her nose up at day-old bread or marked down food. She was amazing and she made it work.

桑迪：我需要向你媽媽取取經。我雖然喜歡這些孩子但是他們快要吃掉我的家底兒。
