《绝望的主妇》精讲79

蕾内：是。谢谢你，在这些女人当中，你是唯一一个有胆量告诉我真相的，你是真正的朋友。只要你给我那蓝宝石戒指，我就原谅你。

Gaby: I'm not really used to apologizing...But here are some chocolates.

Renee: I haven't touched a carb since 1985, but thank you. Believe it or not, I was actually on my way over to apologize to you. I don't know what came over me.

Gaby: Look, I still feel you deserve better than that guy. But I had no right to screw with your marriage. It's your life.

Renee: Doug called this morning. He said he still wants me back...And I said no.

Gaby: Seriously?

Renee: He said we could pretend it never happened, and I thought of all the things I pretended never happened over the years. You were right, Gaby. I needed to open my eyes.

Gaby: Okay, well, before I take credit for this, are you sure this is what you want?

Renee: Yes. And thank you. Out of all the women, you were the only one who had the guts¹ to tell me the truth. You're a real friend, and I'll take that over a sapphire² ring any day.

Gaby: You're keeping the ring, right?

Renee: Oh, hell, yeah.

加比：我不是很习惯跟人道歉，不过这是巧克力。

蕾内：我从85年开始就没碰过碳水化合物了，不过谢谢。不管你信不信，我也正打算过来向你道歉，我也不知道自己怎么想的。

加比：我还是觉得你能找到比他更好的，但我没权力搞砸你的婚姻，这是你的生活。

蕾内：道格今早打来电话了，他说还是想跟我复合，我拒绝了。

加比：不是吧！

蕾内：他说我们可以当做什么都没发生过，我想了一下这所有一切，这么多年来一直视而不见的一切。你说得对，加布，我得清醒过来。

加比：好吧，在我居功之前，你确定这是你想要的吗？

蕾内：是。谢谢你，在这些女人当中，你是唯一一个有胆量告诉我真相的，你是真正的朋友。只要你给我那蓝宝石戒指，我就原谅你。

加比：你会留着这戒指的吧？

蕾内：那还用说？
