《他没那么喜欢你》精讲 48 不要在一棵树上吊死

Gigi: I don't.

Alex: So you never wait until the last minute on a deadline or a phone bill.Because secretly you cannot love the drama of not knowing whether or not you're gonna make it.

Gigi: Maybe.

Alex: And let me guess. When you were stalking Conor the other night. Were you obsessing¹ about him calling constantly pacing back and forth², staring at your phone for days. Even though the date was just kind of mediocre³?

Gigi: Okay, yeah.

Alex: Because you all thrive on the drama. Thank you. Look, you gotta be more like me. If a girl likes me, great. But if not, there are plenty more out there like her, you know? Probably with smaller pores and bigger implants⁴.

Gigi: Beautiful.

Alex: I know.

Gigi: Why are you sharing all of this inside dating information with me again?

Alex: I don't know, I like you.

Gigi: You do?

Alex: Well, yeah, okay, don't start doodling my name on your binder⁵, okay? I just mean... I mean, I like you the way I like basset hounds. Something pathetic about them, you just wanna cheer them up.

 

Gigi: Again! With the sensitivity.

琪琪：我不这样。

阿历克斯：那么你从来没有等到交稿或电话账单的最后期限？你要知道自己是否能成功，所以才喜欢这种情节。

琪琪：也许是吧。

阿历克斯：我猜猜看。那晚你和康纳见完面后你有没有一遍又一遍时刻关注他的来电，一连几天紧盯着电话。甚至会想，这次约会就这样了？

琪琪：好吧，没错。

阿历克斯：因为你期待电视剧里的情节，谢谢。听着，你该学学我。如果一个女孩喜欢我，很好。但如果她不喜欢我，外面女孩还多的是，明白？不要在一棵树上吊死。

琪琪：说的太好了。

阿历克斯：我知道。

琪琪：你为什么总是教我这些约会的技巧？

阿历克斯：不知道，我喜欢你。

琪琪：真的？

阿历克斯：是，但别在本子里划满我的名字，好吗？我只是... 我就像喜欢猎犬那样喜欢你。有时你可怜他们，想让他们振作起来。

琪琪：再说一说！很实用。
