听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Notorious - 6

Mr. Matthews, I trust you are not forgetting our 3:30 meeting.
Come on, Mr. Feeny, it was just a little prank¹. Don't you think you are maybe taking it too seriously?
Ah, you think I'm acting² like a weenie, Mr. Matthews. Am I acting like a weenie?
You know I didn't do anything.
But I know you know who did. And until you tell me who it is, the only person I can talk to is you. 3:30, Mr. Matthews.
3:30, Mr. Feeny.
Did you tell him?
What do you think?
Thanks, man.
You are welcome. 'Cause it was just a little prank, right? And nothing else is ever gonna happen again, right?
Right, it's never gonna happen again. So, have you seen this?
Corrections: a typographical error in our last edition incorrectly named the new principal as Mr. George Weeny. Good, it's over.
Read on, little buddy³.
His true name is Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, Weeny, continued on Page 3, Column 1, Weeny. Are you completely deranged⁴?
Yes, I am. But I didn't do this.
You didn't?
No, somebody ripped my idea, I'll never be a legend now.

I'm laughing, I'm hysterical⁵, I'm rolling on the floor. It has imagination, it has daring, it has a certain kind of flair⁶.
Ha, getting that, Frankie? Harley says we got a flair.
This was your work?
Yeah, well, you know, how you said it was gonna be somebody else standing⁷ here instead of me and Frankie standing here and, oh, maybe it was just a motivation we needed.
We did it for you.
May I say that right now, I'm having a moment.
