听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Notorious - 3

Eric my son! How was your day?
Oh, hoho. Well, that's pretty hysterical¹.
Yeah, I laughed out of myself. My girlfriend, however, failed to see the humor. She said her efforts at journalistic excellence² have been forever compromised by my limited intellect and profound immaturity³.
So you are back on the market you'll find someone.
No, dad, I was dating the editor of the school newspaper. It was a status relationship and maybe somebody special.
Oh, Eric, I think you are somebody special.
Oh, you have to. You had me and you are stuck with me.
Well, that's true. But sooner or later love will softly sneak⁴ up on you and wrap you in its gentle embrace.
You forgot to clean up the garage.
And it's a beautiful thing.
Oh, look, George's on the cover... Oh.
Weeny!
Is that the greatest thing you ever saw?
No.
Second greatest?
It says Weeny!
How could this have happened?
I don't know. Molly proofread⁵ the whole thing right before... Wait a minute.
You are lying. You have no proof.
You were the last one in the newspaper office before the disks went to the printers.
Cory, did you have something to do with this?
No. I did not do this, nor did I do it.
Weeny! It says weeny! I can read!

-----------------------------------------------------

I, I don't understand this.
How can you...What is it you are not understanding? Molly, Hi.
Get out of my sight, you vermicular miscreant⁶.
So, how is it going with Molly?
Just no talking right? She is a vicious humorless man killer⁷ who leaves nothing but a trailer of misery⁸ and crushed hearts in her wake.
So, it's OK if I call her?
Jason, I'm through with women of my junior year, OK?
The next time you see me about to fall in love with some beautiful heartless bag of misery I want you to talk me down.
You got it. And can I call her?
