精彩对白 Father: Why don't you tell Daddy what a downtown Chicago hospital is really like? Helen: Patient brought in with chills, nausea1, ischemia, clearly in shock. Father: Did you do a CBC? Helen: Excuse me, our protocols2 didn't exist when you went to medical school. Father: Oh! Yes, I've been under a rock these past 30 years. Helen: How many transdermal intubations have you personally done? Father: My dear, I teach medicine. I no longer sully my hands touching3 actual patients. Josh: Touch patients? Why would anybody want to do that? Helen: You are not allowed in this conversation. Josh: Excuse me. I've helped more patients than you ever will. Helen: Can I pour this drink on your head? Josh: What is wrong with getting rich? God only knows you can't do that in medicine anymore. Father: He's right about that! Helen: Don't help him justify4 his laziness. Josh: I already justified5 my laziness. It's called $35 million on my first IPO. Helen: Jamie, help me. Jamie: He's a geek who got lucky. Helen: And he'll always be a geek. Josh: Yeah? Well, this geek is taking back your shares. Jamie: I don't blame you. Father: The profession was ruined when they let women in. Helen: I'm killing6 both of you. Mother: I'm killing all of you if you don't get in there and sit down. Nancy: And we get to keep all the shares. Father: All right. Nancy: Jamie! Father: To the sale of Josh's company! Whatever the hell it does. Mother: Long live medical software. Josh: And med school dropouts everywhere. Helen: You'd better give some of this money away, that's all I have to say. Josh: Not gonna happen. Nancy: Jamie, what are you up to these days? Mother: Jamie's selling high-end stereo equipment. Josh: Not anymore. Mother: What do you mean? Josh: Well, let's just say Jamie had a falling out with management. Nancy: I thought you were in real estate. Jamie: I am looking for other opportunities. Josh: We're living through the greatest creation of wealth in modern history, and my brother decides to quit. Jamie: Josh has been talking to me about pharmaceutical8 sales. Father: Pharmaceutical sales? Josh: Pharmaceutical sales. You know, medicine that's supposed to help people get better. Remember Timmy, my roommate from Brown? He's a VP at Pfizer. So I said to Jamie, "Jamie, if you suck on my cock, I'll get you an interview." Mother: Oh, Josh, watch your mouth! Josh: Watch your mouth! Jamie: I said no, Mom. I said no. Father: Why would you wanna be a pharmaceutical rep? Josh: "Why would you wanna be a pharmaceutical rep?" Because it's the only entry-level job in America that pays over 100 grand a year. That's why. Helen: No. Those people come into our office with their roller bags and samples, like door-to-door-salesmen. Jamie: They are door-to-door-salesmen, only what they're selling grosses $87 billion a year! Helen: Yeah, and they're turning complex medical decisions into Madison Avenue impulse buying. Jamie: Oh, my God. Look, I'm not selling to the patients, okay? Helen: No. No, the patients just see the commercials on TV...and demand their name-brand drugs from the doctors... Jamie: I'm not even doing the job yet! Calm down, you're freaking out. ...and there you are to supply them. This is so crazy that you're yelling at me for nothing! I'm not doing it! Mother: If you barbarians9 won't be still and finish this lamb, none of you will get the chocolate cake. All: Yes, Mom! Josh: Oh, Jamie, if you could make money fucking, you'd be even richer than me. I'll call the Pfizer guy in the morning. 妙语佳句 活学活用 1. in shock: 出于休克状态，也可以指出于极度震惊中 例如：She is still in shock after the accident.（事故发生后到现在，她仍然处于休克状态。） 2. sully: 弄脏，玷污 例如：I wouldn't sully my hands by accepting a bribe11.（我决不接受贿赂。） 3. geek: 鬼才，对某领域着迷的人，反常人。也称为“极客”或者“奇客” 比如computer geek就是指电脑鬼才, 电脑迷（特别精通计算机技术和操作的人，不善社交专门迷恋于计算机的人） 4. long live: 万岁，长存 6. falling out: 不合，吵架 例如：He has a knack12 of falling out with everyone.（他有个怪癖，总是和每个人吵架。） 7. pharmaceutical rep: 推销药品的医药代表，也就是我们平时说的“药代”。这里的rep就是指“推销员、销售代表”。 8. grand: 1000英镑，也可以指1000美元。 9. roller bag: 拖轮箱。flight bag /air travelling roller bag就是指“航空旅行箱”。 10. door-to-door-salesman: 挨门串户的推销员 11. impulse buying: 即兴购买, 未经考虑仅凭一时冲动的购物行为 12. name-brand: 名牌。brand name则是指“品牌名称” 例如：The first floor is only for brand name shops.（首层主要是名牌商店。） 13. freak out: 情绪失控，处于极度兴奋中 点击  收听单词发音
