Jeffrey: Hi. How can I help you? We're having an amazing sale on batteries. (Agent J points his gun at Jeffrey's head) Okay, we got other stuff¹, like headphones, adapters or--

 

Agent J: You helped Boris the Animal time jump.

 

Jeffrey: Okay, I had to. That dude's a freak.

 

Agent J: He killed my partner. I want to know when and where you sent him.

 

Jeffrey: What, you think I keep, like, a logbook?

 

Agent J: Target vector, July 16, 1969.

 

Jeffrey: All right. That's a real bummer about your buddy². I'm sure he was a great guy. But in terms of the whole space-time continuum, your friend was like a little blip on the historical radar³! (Agent J forces him to turn around and see the TV) Oh. That's a big blip. Okay. What's the plan?

 

Agent J: You're gonna send me back to July 15th, 1969.

 

Jeffrey: No, that's a stupid plan, because I sent Boris to July 16th.

 

Agent J: I'm not worried about that one. I'm gonna go back to kill the younger Boris before the older one even shows up.

 

Jeffrey: That way, neither of them will even exist. That's why you get to wear the black suit. No? You're gonna leave me hanging? Okay. Oh, I just thought of something, you know. Even back then, New York was like a big-ish city. So how are you gonna really find him?

 

Agent J: On July 15th, Boris killed an alien, Roman the Fabulist, at Coney Island.

 

Jeffrey: You're gonna get there first and be waiting for him? Dude, they should give you, like, two black suits.

 

Agent J: My man, for real?

 

Jeffrey: Oh, right. Sorry. This...is the real deal. Time-jump gear⁴. Very rare, very old. But first, we gotta get high.

 

Agent J: Hey. No.

 

Jeffrey: No. No, I mean, really high. Hey, man? A little help here? Thank you. Okay. You know the rules of time jumps, right?

 

Agent J: Give me the short version⁵.

 

Jeffrey: Okay. You wanna save your partner, word of advice: Stay away from him.

 

Agent J: Yeah, I got it. Stay away from K. Just kill Boris.

 

Jeffrey: Now, take these. 'Cause it gets pretty windy on the way down.

 

Agent J: The way down?

 

Jeffrey: With eyes tearing up, it's hard to read the dial. Plus, it helps you look like a real time traveler, which is cool.

 

Agent J: I am not jumping off this building!

 

Jeffrey: Time jump. Okay, now I gotta set this thing to the 15th. That seems right-ish. Now all you gotta do is jump.

 

Agent J: Hey, hey, Stop. Stop it.

 

Jeffrey: Now, as soon as you're moving fast enough, that circle is gonna fill up with some sort of green time-travel liquid and it's gonna glow⁶ really bright. As soon as that happens, you need to break that blue laser⁷ line with your thumb to complete the circuit⁸. At this height, that should be... Let's see, mass of Earth and 30-something feet per minute...

 

Agent J: It's 32 feet per second. Per second.

 

Jeffrey: That sounds right-ish. So that would be, I guess, about two feet off the ground.

 

Agent J: I break the laser line?

 

Jeffrey: No, don't break it!

 

Agent J: What do you mean when I'm fast enough!

 

Jeffrey: Sounds good!

 

Agent J: Wait. Do I break the laser line or do I not break the laser line?

 

Jeffrey: Do not lose that time device⁹, or you will be stuck in 1969! It wasn't the best time for your people. I'm just saying. It's, like, a lot cooler now.

 

 

logbook: 日志

 

continuum: 连续体

 

get high: 到高处去。但是get high也可以形容吸毒时飘飘然的感觉，特工J理解成了另一层意思。
