影片对白

Jason: Are you waiting for me?

Becca: Oh. Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry, I... I thought you took the bus.

Jason: I do.

Becca: But not today?

Jason: Not today. I skipped school.

Becca: Well you shouldn't be playing hooky, young man.

Jason: Why are you waiting for me?

Becca: I thought we could talk?

Jason: About what?

Becca: Is this okay?

Jason: Yeah. It's fine.

Becca: It's not too weird¹?

Jason: No. I mean...

Becca: No, I know. It's weird for me too. Don't you like school?

Jason: I like it alright.

Becca: I just thought 'cause you... I don’t know, you seem to not be going so...

Jason: I've been accepted to college already, so...

Becca: Oh. So it's not a big deal then.

Jason: No, it is a big deal, but...only if my mother finds out. She said she'd confiscate² my phone if I did it again. Not that I use my phone anyway.

Becca: So where are you headed?

Jason: Connecticut College.

Becca: Oh, right. That's a good school. Not far. I bet you parents so pleased for you to be closed by...

Jason: It's just my mom, but yeah, she's pretty happy about it. She keeps saying she's gonna apply to the grad program so she can keep an eye on me while I'm up there. She's just joking though. She's not really looking forward to it, since I'm the only one at home now, but I told her I'd come over on the weekends and stop there if I could.

Becca: That'll be nice.

Jason: So, I'm sorry.

Becca: Oh, I know, you don't have to...

Jason: I know that doesn't help, but...

Becca: No it does. It really does.

Jason: And I know I should've tried to get in touch.

Becca: No, it's fine.

Jason: I just really wish I had driven down a different block that day.

Becca: I know.

Jason: You know what? I should maybe go.

Becca: It's alright.

Jason: My mom's gonna start to wonder where I'm at.

Becca: It's okay. You really don't have to...

Jason: Could we do this again sometime?

Becca: Sure.

Jason: OK.
