【場(chǎng)景再現(xiàn)】
逗人的老太太
《愛是妥協(xié)》(Something's Gotta Give)是一部言情喜劇。老人哈里(杰克·尼克爾森飾)有錢有事業(yè),四處尋歡。不料心臟病發(fā)作,由一名年輕醫(yī)生(基努·李維斯飾)照看,醫(yī)生將他安置在自己女友瑪琳的母親艾麗卡(黛安·基頓飾)家。哈里與艾麗卡產(chǎn)生戀情,而醫(yī)生也發(fā)現(xiàn)自己未來的丈母娘魅力無窮。這部電影的臺(tái)詞輕松詼諧。下面這段對(duì)話選自哈里第一次在艾麗卡家用餐時(shí)的情景。
Marin:So, Mom, how's the new play? Are you getting happy with it?
Erica:Well, you know the thing about me. I'm 90% hard work, 10% talent and so far the talent part hasn't exactly kicked in yet.
Harry: What's your play about?
Erica:Well, it's about a divorced woman, a writer, she's a highly strung, over-amped, controlling, know-it-all neurotic. . .Who's incredibly cute and lovable. It's a comedy. Ever been married, Harry?
Harry:No. No, I haven't.
Erica:Wow. Now why do you think that is?
Harry:Some people just don't fit the mold. And so far, you know...
Erica:Hey, if they aren't broke.
