影片对白

Mrs. Raymond: What a surprise! I can't remember the last time you brought me flowers!

Miles: Happy birthday, Mom.

Jack: They're from both of us.

Mrs. Raymond: A famous actor bringing me flowers for my birthday!

Jack: Right? Yeah!

Mrs. Raymond: Don't I feel special?

Jack: And champagne!

Miles: Famous actor's getting married next week, Mom.

Mrs. Raymond: Oh, that's right! Isn't that nice. I hope that girl knows how lucky she is marrying no less than Derek Sommersby.

Jack: Gosh, that was like, 11 years ago, Mrs. Raymond.

Mrs. Raymond: Well, you were wonderful in that show! Why that didn't make you the biggest movie star in the world is a sin! Oh, now, Miles, why didn't you tell me you were coming and bringing this handsome man? Look how I'm dressed! I've gotta run and put my face on.

Jack: You look fabulous, Mrs. Raymond.

Mrs. Raymond: Oh, stop it! Make yourselves comfortable. You boys hungry?

Miles: Yeah, I'm hungry. Just a snack.

TV announcer: The Germans lost almost a million men. To replace them, Hitler turned to his last resort of manpower.

Jack: This is delicious, Mrs. Raymond. Absolutely delicious.

Mrs. Raymond: They're just leftovers.

Jack: I-Is this chicken?

Mrs. Raymond: I could have made something fancier if a certain someone had let me know that a certain someone was coming for a visit and bringing a certain special friend.

Miles: It was a surprise, Mom.

Mrs. Raymond: And I could've already put clean sheets on the other bed and the foldout. You are staying. Wendy, Ron and the twins are picking us up at 11:30 to go to brunch at the Sheraton. They do a magnificent job there.

Miles: You talked to Wendy?

Mrs. Raymond: Just now. She's thrilled! And the twins--

Miles: No, no, I bet. I bet. Yeah. Well, you know, Jack is pretty eager to, uh, to get up to, um, You know. Uh, but, yeah, absolutely. And we'll see how it goes.

Mrs. Raymond: Well, you boys do what you want. I just thought it would be nice for us to be together as a family on my birthday.

Miles: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'll be right back.

Mrs. Raymond: And what was that other one you did? The one where you were the jogger.

Jack: Oh, that was for, um, Spray 'n Wash.

Mrs. Raymond: Spray 'n Wash! That's the one!

Jack: Gosh. I remember the girl that was in it with me. She was somethin'.

Mrs. Raymond: I just remember you jogging.

Jack: Whoo-hoo!

Mrs. Raymond: So, when's the wedding?

Miles: Next Saturday, Mom. Remember? We told you.

Jack: And Miles is my best man, Mrs. Raymond. My main man.

Mrs. Raymond: Miles, when are you going to get married again?

Miles: I just got divorced, Phyllis.

妙语佳句,活学活用

1. Derek Sommersby

Miles' friend Jack is an actor. Derek Sommersby is a character that Jack plays on the soap opera "One Life to Live". This character exists only in the movie and never on the actual show.

Jack was a soap star briefly during the '90s. Then, according to him, was a regular on a couple of series, and now mostly does commercial and voice-over work. He informs every girl he sees about this when he flirts with them. Also, even though it isn't mentioned in the movie, Jack's last name is Cole.

2. put one's face on

This idiom means “apply makeup 化妆”, for example: Helen won't stir out of the house before she puts her face on. 海轮不化妆才不会出房子呢。

3. Just a snack.

Here it means “a hurried meal”.

4. main man

It’s “one's best and most trusted male friend”. Jack has his best and most trusted male friend Miles as his best man.
