听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Boy Meets Girls-5

Ok, what do you know that I don't know?
Nothing.
Which kid is it?
Cory.
Oh, I knew it. Ok, Ok. Let's see. He's too old to steal candy, but too young to wreck¹ a car. Oh, no, it's a girl.
It is. Cory is going on his first date, isn't that sweet?
Yeah, poor slob.
What are you saying, you are his father, you should be proud.
Hey, I've been on the guy's side of dating, I mean, he's fine now, but he's just a little step away from...
But dating was always fun for me. I remember talking on the phone to eight different guys a night.
Yeah, well, the only way I survived it was knowing that one day I'd be married and I'd be calling the shots.
Honey, I'm so sorry things didn't work out for you.
I wonder if I can still warn him about the minefield he's about to step into without ruining his life.
Well, Cory doesn't appear to be suffering like you did. He's actually excited about this date. I overheard² him telling Shawn that he couldn't play basketball today because he was going out with Topanga.
Topanga? Hey, Cory's always teasing³, making fun of her. Oh, no, this is bad.

Hi, mom, hi, dad.
Cory, I think this is so wonderful.
Son, this is the stupidest thing you've ever done.
Before I shoot myself in the foot which stupid thing are we talking about?
Your date with Topanga.
What were you thinking?
Everything started getting all fuzzy after that telegram movie.
Not the hormonal⁴ telegram. Are they still showing that film?
I cried during that movie.
If it wasn't for that movie, I'd still be twelve.
Yeah, It had a weird⁵ effect on a lot of people. But ever since we saw it, people are doing really strange things.
Well, you certainly are. You've never asked a girl out before.
Yeah, neither did Shawn.
Did you ask Topanga out so you can keep up with him?
Oh, that's weird. How did she know?
It's the sorority of Satan.
Oh, Cory, as much as I wanted to see you go out on your first little date. I don't think it's fair to Topanga.
Oh, as much as I wanted to see it, too, I, I, I think your mother is right, you should cancel it now.
Mom, dad, you are right, with women honesty is the best policy.
And he thinks he's ready to date.
