好吧，我们开始吧
Okay, let's begin.
谁想开始？
Who wants to start?
布列塔尼，说吧
Yes, Brittany, kick it off.
读的时候没什么想法
I don't have a thought on the reading,
只觉得黑板上的那个词不对
I just think that that word on the board is wrong.
《人造黑鬼》 弗兰纳里·奥康纳
拼写没错啊，是两个G
Well, I think it still has two G's in it last I checked.
不好笑
It's not funny.
N字看着太不雅了
We shouldn't have to stare at the N-word all day.
听着
Uh, listen,
这里是文学课
this is a class on the literature
关于美国南部
of the American south.
你们将会见识一些
You're going to encounter
陈旧的思想，粗鄙的语言
some archaic thoughts, coarse language,
但咱们都成年了
but we're all adults here
我觉得可以包容的看待
and I think we can understand it
联系上下文的看
within the context in which it's written.
我觉得这个词真的很冒犯
Well, I just find that word really offensive.
恕我直言，布列塔尼
With all due respect, Brittany,
我都没意见，相信你也可以
I got over it, I'm pretty sure you can too.
为啥啊？
Well, I don't see why.
好吧
Right.
还有谁有
Now, does anyone else have any
阅读的思考？
thoughts on the reading?
这让你的学生感到不舒服
Well, it made some of your students uncomfortable.
他们啥时候这么脆弱了？
When did they all become so goddamn delicate?
这不是头一回了
This wasn't an isolated incident.
什么？
What?
上个月你问过一个学生
Last month you asked a student
他家长辈是不是纳粹
if his family had been Nazis.
是的，他是德国人
Yeah, I did, he's German,
我们正在读《反美阴谋》 （菲利普·罗斯2004 年出版的小说）
we were reading The Plot Against America
相信我，看他那样子确实可疑
and trust me, by the way he was squirming, they were.
我的天啊
Oh, my God.
蒙克，你是位有才华的作家
Um, Monk, you are a very talented writer,
我们很幸运能请到你
we're fortunate to have you here.
啥？ 他多年没有发表文章了
What? He hasn't published in years.
自从你上次发布以来
I have written three novels
我都写了三本小说
since the last time you published.
正是如此，你的多产
Yeah, this is true, and the speed with which you write
恰好证明了你的平庸
only proves that good things take time.
- 去死吧，蒙克 - 放松点，曼迪
- Oh, go to hell, Monk. - Relax, Mandy.
对，放松点，曼迪
Yeah, relax, Mandy.
我新书是和埃稠一起合著
And anyway, my new book is with Echo
经纪人说他们很兴奋
and my agent says they're very excited about it.
这是个好消息
Oh, that's great to hear.
- 关于什么方面的？ - 可以别扯了吗，利奥？
- What's it about? - Can we stop stalling, Leo?
嗯...
Um...
听着，蒙克
Listen, Monk,
我们想让你休息一下
we'd like to give you a break.
什么意思，休息？
What do you mean, break?
只是休息一段时间
Just some time off.
强制休假
Mandatory time off.
你过节要去波士顿，对吧？
It's just, you're already going to Boston for the festival, right?
为什么不呆在那里
Why don't you just stay there for--
因为我讨厌波士顿，我家人在那里
Because I hate Boston, my family's there.
你需要时间休整一下
Well, you need some time to relax.
你太紧绷了，伙计
You're on edge, man.
你以为让我和家人在一起
You're under the impression that time spent
就能放松自己？
with my family will take the edge off.
- 我很好 - 你不好
- I'm fine. - You're not fine.
上周我看到你在车里哭
I saw you crying in your car last week.
他还砸方向盘
He punched the steering wheel.
哦，哇
Oh, wow.
如果你少花点的时间监视我
You know, if you spent less time spying on me,
你可能
you could
还能写十几本
probably write a dozen more novels
机场卖的那种小说
that people buy at airports
搭着颈枕和芝士脆一起卖的那种
with their neck pillows and Cheez-Its.
来劲了是吧，走了吗，狗东西？
Oh, here we go. Okay. You want to go, dirty doggy?
祝你去波士顿开心点
Okay, well, enjoy Boston.
你可以在机场买到我的书
You can... you can get my book at the airport.
祝你和埃稠合作愉快

That's good luck here.
波士顿版本的瓢虫落身上
That's Boston's version of a ladybug landing on you.

Any news?
埃稠那的帕特里克过世了 但谁他妈在乎呢？
Patrick at Echo is passing. But who fucking cares?
他是个老酒鬼
He's an old alcoholic.
- 什么意思？ 第九个了？ - 他说
- What is that? Nine now? - He says,
“此书打磨精良
"This book is finely crafted
人物性格和语言丰富
with fully developed characters and rich language,
但我们很难理解
but one is lost to understand what this reworking of
改写埃斯库罗斯的《波斯人》
Aeschylus' The Persians has to do
与非裔美国人的经历有什么关联？”
with the African-American experience?"
我说呢
There it is.
我说呢
There it is.
他们想要一本黑书
They want a Black book.
这就是黑书啊
They have a Black book.
我是黑人，这是我的书
I'm Black, and it's my book.
你懂我意思
You know what I mean.
他们想我写警察杀害小孩
You mean they want me to write about a cop killing some teenager
多切斯特的单亲妈妈养五个孩子
or a single mom in Dorchester raising five kids.
多切斯特现在都是白人，不过是的
Dorchester is pretty white now. But yes.
老天，你知道
Jesus Christ. You know,
我对种族都没概念
I don't even really believe in race.
是的，问题是其他人有啊
Yeah. The problem is that everyone else does.
总之，在图书节上玩得开心
Anyway, have fun at the book festival.
麻烦别羞辱任何大人物
And just don't insult anyone important. Please.
从历史的角度写作
Writing from a historical perspective
并不意味着你不能
doesn't mean that you can't
创作出与当今观众
make work that doesn't resonate
产生共鸣的作品
with today's audiences.
《权力的游戏》就是证明
Yeah, I think of things like Game of Thrones as proof that
咱们书呆子也能功成名就
nerds like us can still find great success.
不好意思，咱们今天就此结束
Unfortunately, we're going to have to end it there.
感谢我们的作者
Thank you to our authors
感谢大家的出席
and thanks to all of you for attending.
嗯...
Um...
只有我觉得规模小吗？
Is it just me, or was this small
即便是读书节？
even for a book festival?
没错，因为都去辛塔拉那了
Yeah, it's because we're up against Sintara.
谁？
Who?
辛塔拉·金，你没读过吗？
Sintara Golden. You haven't read her?
没有，书名叫什么？
No, what's her book called?
《我们在贫民窟的日子》 辛塔拉·金
Raves everywhere.
邮报、图书论坛到处都是赞扬
The Post, Bookforum.
《伦敦书评》说
The London Review of Books said,
《我们在贫民窟的日子》
"We's Lives in Da Ghetto
是一个令人心碎、发自内心的处女作
is a heartbreaking and visceral debut."
还有人跟我透露
Plus a little birdie told me that perhaps
有可能改编成电视剧，对吗？
there's a TV adaptation in the works?
无可奉告
- No comment.
好吧，我总得试一下
Okay, it was worth a shot.
跟我们谈谈，在你成为作家之前
Tell us, what was your life like
你的生活是怎样的？
before you were an author?
我在欧柏林读了本科
Well, I did undergrad at Oberlin
毕业后马上搬到了纽约
and moved to New York the day after graduation
几个月后
and a couple months later,
担任一家出版商的助理
I was an assistant at a publisher.
那个助理的经历，促成了你的写作？
And did that assistant experience shape your writing?
当然是的，我是首位读者
Absolutely. Yeah, I was a first reader meaning
读废稿堆里所有的手稿
I would read all the manuscripts in the slush pile
如果作品出色，就送上去
and send them up the ladder if they were any good.
有些不错，但大多数很平庸
Some of them were great, most were not.
但让我无法释怀的是
But the feeling I couldn't shake was that
不管书有多好
no matter how good the books were,
似乎都是某个来自纽约的白人
most every submission was from some white dude from New York
正在经历离婚
going through a divorce,
其中甚少有关我们族类的
and too few of them were about my people.
所以我觉得
And so I think,
“我们的故事在哪里？”
"Where are our stories?"
“我们的表达在哪里？”
You know, "Where's our representation?"
正是因为这种匮乏
And it was from that lack
我的书就诞生了
that my book was born.
能有幸请你阅读摘录吗？
Would you give us the pleasure of reading an excerpt?
谢谢
Thank you.
“哟，切兰达
"'Yo, Cheranda,
忙叨叨的你要去哪里？”
where you be goin' in a hurry likes that?'
当唐娜看我出门时，她问我
Donna aks me when she see me comin' out the house.
“不关你的事
'Ain't none ya business,
但你想知道的话，我要去药房”
but if'n you gots to know, I's goin' to the pharmacy.'
我回头看门口，看看妈妈是否出来了
I looks back at the door to see if Mama comin' out.
“药店？ 做什么？”她问道
'The pharmacy? What for?' she aks.
“你懂的”，我说
'You know', I says.
“不会吧”她说
'Nah', she say.
“干！ 姑娘，你又怀孕了？”
'Hell, nah! Girl, you be pregnant again?'
“可能是”，我告诉她
'Might's be', I tells her.
“如果真的怀了
'And if I is,
雷雷这回真要当爹了”
Ray-Ray's gonna be a real father this time around.'"
谢谢
Thank you.
好！
Yes!

Hello, Monk.
嗨，丽莎
Hi, Lisa.

你去机场的车
your ride to the airport
就要离开海滩了
is just pulling away from the beach,
为什么这是一个法律问题？
why, oh, why is this a legal issue?
我不知道
I don't know.
这是划船与涉水的问题 （谐音梗：罗诉韦德案）
It's a matter of row versus wade.
我天
Oh, my God.
这应该是我最好的一个
I think that's one of my best.
哇
Wow.

就在离婚之后
Right after the divorce.

You told me right when we started dating.
还记得我有多生气吗？
Do you remember how mad I got?
“我操谁不关你的事！”
"It's not your business who I fuck!
“我给谁口也是”
Who I fellate."
我绝对没有说“口”
I definitely did not say "fellate."
我以为你做了，我就是这么听说的
I thought you did. That's how I heard it anyway.
很高兴见到你
It's good to see you.
也很高兴见到你
Yeah, it's good to see you too.
工作怎么样？
How's work?
不咋地
It's not very glamorous.
我每天都要过安检
I go through a metal detector every day.
你做的事情很重要
Well, what you do is important.
好吧
Well...
而我做的呢
Meanwhile, all I do is
就是在脑海里创造出小人物
invent little people in my head,
在想象中让他们进行对话
then make them have imaginary conversations with each other.
书籍改变生活
Books change people's lives.
我写的东西改变了你的生活吗？
Did something I've written ever change your life?
绝对有
Absolutely.
绝对有啊
Absolutely.
你上本书出版之前
My dining room table was wobbly as hell
我家餐桌那个不稳啊 我的个天
before your last book came out.
垫上去简直完美
- Oh, my God. All right. - It was, like, perfect.
我跟你说
- Yeah. Oh, God. - I'm telling you and--
带我去洛根那边
Take me back to Logan, please.
- 洛根帮不了你，蒙克
- Logan cannot help you, Monk.
- 我的天啊！
- Oh, my God!
欢迎回家，宝贝！
Welcome home, baby!
哈喽！
Hello!
哈喽！
Hello!
- 蒙克先生！ - 洛林！
- Mr. Monk! - Lorraine!
哦
Oh.
你知道我不喜欢这样，叫蒙克就行
You know how that makes me feel. It's just Monk.
别这样对我
Oh, don't do that to me,
我太老了，学不了新名字
you know I'm too old to learn new names.
- 你好吗，丽莎小姐？ - 我很好
- How you doing, Miss Lisa? - I'm good.
- 你看起来不错，蒙克先生 - 我胖了很多
- You look good, Mr. Monk. - Oh, I look fat.
这是加州人的调子
Oh, that's the California talking.
带你去阿肯色州
I took you to Arkansas right now,
- 你就是玉树临风 - 哦！

我需要钱包和黑色羊毛衫

好的，我去拿
All right, I'll get it.
- 你没事吧？ - 哦
- Are you all right? - Oh.
你不开心就会吃得过多
You overeat when you're depressed.
我没抑郁

最近睡得不好
I've just been not sleeping well lately
所以日常锻炼少了
and so, fell off my exercise routine.
- 嗯 - 坐这里

所以你不抑郁
So you're not depressed.
但身上都是抑郁的症状
You just wear all the hallmarks of depression.
我很想念你
I missed you.
拉里来吗？
Is Larry coming?
不来，妈妈
No, Mother.
拉里和我分开了，还记得吗？
Larry and I are separated, remember?
我当然记得
- Of course, I remember. - Okay.
只是觉得他可能会和我们
I just thought he might join us.
一起去见你兄弟
To see your brother.
好吧
Okay.
有什么大不了的？
I mean, is it really such a big deal?
每个人都会忘记事情
Everyone forgets things.
并不意味着她病了
Doesn't mean she's sick necessarily.
但人只会忘了牙医预约
People forget dentists' appointments.
而她忘了我离婚了
She forgets I'm not married anymore.
这不对劲
That's weird.
那你说怎么办？
What do you suggest we do?
为什么是我做决定？
Why do I have to decide?
- 因为你是医生 - 你也是（博士）
- Because you're a doctor. - So are you.
我不是那种啊
I'm not that kind.
我是说，你是个明事理的成年人
Okay, my point is, you are an intelligent adult.
我不想一个人
And I'm tired of being the only person
照顾她
that takes care of her.
我不记得有谁
Well, I don't recall anyone
让你担这个责任
assigning you that responsibility.
你和克里夫只想西漂
No, you and Cliff just fled west as soon as you could
这摆明了是让我看护
and left me as caretaker by default.
我工作在那边啊
My work's there.
- 是的，你工作在那边 - 抱歉我没有
-"My work's there." Yeah. - Apologies that it prevents me

但不停的旅行
that was traveling constantly,

but his patients were in Boston.
他说要去参加会议
He said he was going to conferences.
他做的是上门服务
He was making house calls.
知道我见过他吻一个白人女人吗？
Do you know that I saw him kiss a white woman
高中时在公园里
in the park in high school?
有多白？
How white?
什​​么意思，“有多白？”
What do you mean, "How white?"
像婆罗门白或南方白
Like Brahmin white or Southie white.
不知道，她嘴唇很薄
I don't know. She had thin lips.
吻技很糟糕
She looked like a bad kisser.
你告诉妈妈了吗？
Did you tell Mother?

Hi.
你好吗？
How you doing?
女服务员没有穿胸罩
Our waitress isn't wearing a bra.
好吧
Okay.
我没有注意到
I didn't notice.
看到这个吗？
See this shit?
这将带我们走出贫民窟
This gonna take us out of the ghetto.
但是得有规矩
But there are rules in the house.
第一，切勿将货留在家里
Number one, never leave this product in the house.
第二，招自己的小弟
And number two, get your own crew.
第三，小弟必须守规矩
Number three, got to have discipline in your crew.
第四，不要对黑鬼太好
Number four, don't praise a nigga too much.
不然会觉得你很弱
Otherwise he's gonna think you're soft.
第五，别谈情说爱
Rule number five, don't show no love.
爱会让你丧命
- Love will get you killed.
看这个，就像个贱货
See this, it's like a bitch.
你干贱货，别让贱货干你
You fuck a bitch, don't let a bitch fuck you.
你是个什么都不需要的大男人
You're a man who don't need nothing.
没有人能帮你
No one will get you through.
贱货呢？贱货会夺走你的灵魂
This bitch? This bitch will take your soul.
你们这些黑鬼没有家人…
You niggas ain't got no fam...
对不起，呃，内德
Excuse me, uh, Ned.
你这有塞隆尼斯·埃里森的书吗？
Do you have any books by the writer Thelonious Ellison?
有的，这边
Yeah, this way.
- 在这里 - 好的
- Here you go. - Right.
是的（非裔美国人研究）
Yeah.
等一下，为什么这些书在这里？
Wait a minute, why are these books here?
我不知道
I'm not sure.
我想那个作者埃里森是…黑人
I would imagine that this author Ellison is... Black.
我就是埃里森
That's me. Ellison. Yeah.
他就是我，他和我都是黑人
He is me, and he and I are Black.
哦，对头
Oh, bingo.
不对头，内德，这些书
No bingo, Ned, these books
与非裔美国人研究无关
have nothing to do with African-American studies,
只是文学作品
they're just literature.
这书黑的地方只有墨水
The blackest thing about this one is the ink.
这些书的分类不是我决定的
I don't decide what sections the books go in.
没人这么做，连锁店就这样
No one here does. That's how chain stores work.
好的，内德
Right, Ned.
规则不是你定的
You don't make the rules.
嗯
Hm.
你走后我会把它们放回去
I'm just going to put them back after you leave.
你敢，内德
Don't you dare, Ned.
你敢
Do not you dare.

蒙克，你在做什么？
Monk, what are you doing?
妈妈只会变得更糟
Mom's only going to get worse.
都说锻炼脑力好
They say mental exercise is good,
所以我给她买了那本园艺书
that's why I got her that gardening book.
种黄瓜算脑力锻炼吗？
Does growing cucumbers count as mental exercise?
最讨厌你这样
I hate when you do that.
哪样？
What?
你总是以反问来掩饰
You share your condescending opinion as a question
自己的优越感
trying to disguise the condescension.
为什么不直说
Why don't you just say
你觉得园艺不费脑
that you think that gardening is idiotic?
- 我才没有那么想 - 扯淡
- Uh, because that's not what I was doing. - Bullshit.
扯 扯吧你
Bullshit. Bullshit.
也许咱们每周雇几次护士
Maybe we can hire a nurse a few times a week.
谁出钱？
Who's going to pay for that?
你出不起吗？
You... you can't afford it?
离婚后就负担不起
Not after the divorce, I cannot.
会有点伤心
- Well, it will hurt,
但咱们得卖掉海滨别墅
but we'll probably have to sell the beach house.
肯定要卖掉海滨别墅
Yeah, we definitely need to sell the beach house,
但也得不着钱
but that money is going to go
这笔钱要还反向抵押贷款
to pay back the reverse mortgage
咱妈从别的房子抵押的
that our mother took out on the other house.
是的
Yeah.
我可以寄点钱回家
Look, I can send some money home,
但不会太多
but it's not going to be much.
克里夫不能想点办法吗？
Can't Cliff chip in?
克里夫状况不太好
Cliff's not in a good place, okay?
谁又情况好啊
Who is? Okay?
蒙克，贝卡拿走了一切
Monk, Becca took everything.
孩子们在学校经常被嘲笑
And the kids are getting teased at school.
我不知道
- I didn't know. - Well...
也许你该给他打电话
Maybe you should call him.
抱歉我一直都那么疏远
I'm sorry I've always been so distant.
你无能为力
You couldn't help that.
你一直是爸爸的最爱
You were always Dad's favorite.
这让克里夫和我结盟
And that made Cliff and I bond,
而你因此
and you resented us
怨恨我们，进而...
for having that bond, and then...
变得独来独往
I don't know, you just became self-sufficient.
你从来不谈这个
You never talked about this.
我们什么都不谈
We never talked about anything.
奇怪吗？
Is that surprising?
看看咱们的父母
Look at our parents.
嗯嗯
Mm-hm.
我记得爸的情绪只有...
The only emotions I remember from Dad...
无聊和愤怒
were boredom and rage.
无聊是一种情绪吗？
Is boredom an emotion?
挺好，进你的侦探词典了
Great. It's Detective Dictionary.
哦！

你很久没这么说了
You haven't called me that in forever.
天啊！
Oh, God!

洗完再给她服药

是吗？
Really?

I'm a plastic surgeon.
如果我看到尸体，那就是出事了
If I'm looking at a corpse, then something went very awry.
是的
Right.
我对妈妈产生了同感
Yeah. Made me feel for Mother.
很难想象她找到爸的时候...

丽莎告诉我，她有次看到他亲一个白人女的
Lisa told me she saw him kissing a white woman once.
为什么我不知情？ 为什么我最后才知道？

好，我一有消息就跟你联系
Yeah, I'll touch base when I know more.
非常感谢理解
Thanks so much for being understanding.
嗯，利奥，还有一件事
Hey, um, Leo, one more thing.
我们能不能把这个
I was wondering if maybe we could treat this

People are more than their worst deed.
我想我同意
I guess I agree with that.
你当然同意
Mm. Sure you do.
你是个作家
You're a writer.
我不明白
I don't follow.
作家必须不带偏见
Well, writers have to be non-judgmental.
如果因为做错事就定死一个人
You can't write interesting characters
你写不出有趣的人物
and be critical of every bad decision they make.
对吧？
Right?
也许你得当作家
Maybe you should be the writer.
我最近感觉不太像
I don't feel like much of one lately.
没灵感了？
You blocked?
只是...
It's just...
我觉得没人愿意买我写的东西
I don't think anybody wants to buy what I write.
不会的
That's not true.
我本来不想说
I didn't want to say anything,
但实际上，我读过你的一本书

今天预约医生给妈看病
Think it would be useful to have you
你在会好一些
at Mother's doctor's appointment today.
不行啊，我得回家了
I can't. I got to get home.
好吧，不过你能支援点吗？
Fine, but you think you can chip in
一旦我们查明她的情况？
for her care once we find out what's what?
估计治疗费用会很高
It's probably going to be pretty expensive.
我现在很紧张
Things are tight right now, so...
你想过解雇洛林吗？
You thought about firing Lorraine?
洛林是家人
Lorraine is family.
好吧，蒙克
Well, shit, Monk.
我不知道该怎么说
I don't know what to tell you, all right?
所以你就不管不顾吗？
So you can't do anything?
等我回来
I will check with my accountant
我会咨询会计师，好吗？
when I get back, all right?
现在才早上8点
It's 8:00 in the morning.
我又不用开飞机，蒙克
I'm not flying the fucking plane, Monk.
那你可不可以
Well, do you think you could be so kind
进去看看
as to go inside and see
妈妈准备好了没？
if Mother is ready to head out?
好的
All right. Hey.
- 妈！ - 别大喊大叫，兄弟
- Mother! - Don't yell, man.
文明一点
Be civilized.
你就像爸一样
You're just like our dad, man.
所以才对我好，蒙克 我他妈的发誓
So you do right by me, Monk. I swear to fucking God.
小丑

因为你狗屁不是，我也狗屁不是
So because you ain't shit, I ain't shit.

Hello?
“夜里我站在外面
"I be standing outside in the night,
一架警用直升机经过
a police chopper go by
照亮了某处后院
and shine some lights in some backyards
我想：照亮我吧，混蛋
and I think, 'Shine that light on me, motherfucker,
灯光打我身上
shine me some fucking light
这样我才知道身处何方”
so I can see where the fuck I be at.'"
你认真的？
Are you serious?
注意到我没署名吗
You notice I didn't put my name on it.
是的，署名是斯塔格·R·李
Yes, Stagg R. Leigh,
注意到了，做得好
I did notice that. Well done.
但还是不能把这个发出来
But I still can't send this out.
你说想要黑色的东西啊
You said you wanted Black stuff.
还有什么比这更黑呢？
What's Blacker than that?
里面有丧气的爸爸们
It's got deadbeat dads,
说唱歌手, 毒虫
rappers, crack,
最后他被警察杀死了
and he gets killed by a cop in the end.
我说，那…那够黑的了，对吧？
I mean, that's... that's... that's Black, right?
我明白你要干啥
I see what you're doing.
是啊，没有藏着掖着啊
Good, because it's not subtle.
这个和他们出版的其他垃圾
I mean, how's that book so different
有什么不同呢？
than some of the other garbage they put out?
这不是重点
That's not the point.
这就是我的重点
Well, it's my point.
看看他们发表了什么
Look at what they publish.
看看他们希望我写什么
Look at what they expect us to write.
我烦透了
I'm sick of it.
这表明了我有多烦
And that's an expression of how sick I am.
我只想努力卖书
Monk, I'm trying to sell books,
不参与文青“东征”
not be a part of some crusade.
你想谁来发布？
Who do you expect to publish this?
没谁
No one.
只想以其人之道还治其人
I just want to rub their noses in the horseshit they solicit.
好吧
Okay.
你想我做什么？
What do you want me to do?
我要你把它发出去
I want you to send it out.
我能说这是行为艺术吗？
Can I say it's performance art?
不能，直接发送
No. Send it straight.
如果他们接受不了，那就干他娘的
If they can't take the joke, then fuck them.
好吧，但我只发几个地方
All right, but I'm only sending it
这事让我害怕
to a couple of places. This thing scares me.
吓到你了吗？ 为什么？
Scares you? Why?
因为白人觉得
Because white people think
他们想要真相，其实他们不想
they want the truth, but they don't.
他们只想得到宽恕
They just want to feel absolved.
还好，那不是我的问题
Well, fortunately, that's not my problem.
- 好的 - 再见
- Okay. - Bye.
很惊讶你这么主动
I'm surprised you reached out.
我以为你只是待人和善
I thought you were just being nice.
我太老了，没时间待人和善
Oh, I'm never just being nice. I'm too old for that.
事实上我非常喜欢你
You know, I like you so much, in fact,
我又去买了你另一本书

Yeah. They're not hothouse flowers.
谢谢
Thank you.
我很感激
- I appreciate that. - Mm.
不过，不过脚注少一点就好了
I could've done with less footnotes though.
我…
I, uh...
我得走了
I got to run.
你妈妈怎么样？
Well, how's your mom?
进进出出的

我怕离开太久
I'm afraid to be away for too long.

我不是来重提童年往事的
Look, I'm not here to re-litigate our childhoods.

医疗补助不能覆盖吗？
Won't Medicaid cover it or something?

Who's that? What are you doing?
我带了个爱人

你带了个爱人？
You've taken a lover?
对同性恋有意见吗？
You got a problem with that, homophobe?
你有情人我不生气，克里夫
Listen, I'm not offended that you've taken a lover, Cliff.
我生气是因为
I'm offended, Cliff,
你称之为“带了个爱人”
that you call it taking a lover.
嗯，你去死吧，黑鬼
Mm, you can eat shit, nigga.
我现在就带上我的爱人

最值钱的笑话了
you've ever told.

因为那是垃圾，亚瑟
Because it's trash, Arthur.

Now, for the first time ever, you've written a Red book.
很简单，很淫荡
It's simple, prurient.
不是好的文学作品，但是…
It's not great literature, but...
满足一种需求
satisfies an urge.
就很有价值
And that's valuable.
我想说的是
What I'm trying to illustrate is that,
不会因为你出了红书
just because you do Red
就意味着你出不了蓝书
doesn't mean you can't also do Blue.
你都可以出
You can do it all.
就像尊尼获加一样
Like Johnnie Walker.
你比尊尼获加还牛，因为...
In fact, you got Johnnie Walker beat, because...
你都不必署真名
you don't even have to put your real name on it.
老天
Jesus.
我们现在喝吗？

我们对汤普森瓦特的报价很有兴趣
We're both very excited to discuss Thompson-Watt's offer.
是的，首先我想说
Yes, well, first of all, let me just say
汤普森瓦特的所有人
that all of us here at Thompson-Watt
都对《My Pafology》感到兴奋
are thrilled with My Pafology.
这是一本完美的书
It is about as perfect a book
对我来说是百年一遇
as I have seen in a long, long while.
就是那么的原始而真实
Just... just raw and real.
李先生，这是基于你的亲身体验吗？
And, Mr. Leigh, is this based on your actual life?
当然，你觉得哪个傻逼大学生
Yeah, you think some bitch-ass college boy
能写出来吗？
can come up with that shit?
没，没有
No, no. No, I don't.
你知道那种
No. You know, that kind of
发自肺腑的能量是学不来的
visceral energy cannot be taught, right?
斯塔格…能这么称呼你吗？ 斯塔格是化名吗？
Stagg... May I call you-- Now, is Stagg a pseudonym?
是的，是的
Yes, uh, it is.
李先生不能用真名
Mr. Leigh can't use his real name
因为他是...
because he's a...
他是名通缉犯
Well, he's a wanted fugitive.
我的天啊，哇
Oh, my God. Wow.
所以不能有视频会议
That's why this couldn't be a video conference.
你疯了？ 如果他们对此核查怎么办？
Are you crazy? What if they fact check this?
我查了，他们都没钱支付编辑费用了
I checked. There's barely money to pay editors anymore.
放手做就行
Just go with it.
是的，我判了12年，但我可不想进去
Yeah, I did a 12-year bid, but no going back.
懂我意思吗？
Know what I mean?
是的，你知道，嗯...
Yeah. Yeah, you know, um...
我读了很多书
I've been reading a lot
关于废除监狱运动...
about the prison abolition movement...
- 天啊！
- Oh, God! - I've...
不好意思，保拉，我们可以谈正事吗？
Sorry to rush, Paula, but can we talk business?
李先生很珍惜自由时光
Mr. Leigh values his time outside of a cell.
当然
Of course.
我确信你们都非常忙
I'm sure you're both very, very busy
所以我马上开始
so I will get right to it.
你注意到我们的报价...
Um, you'll notice that our offer is...
异常高
unusually large
是因为我们相信
and that is because we believe
李先生写了一本畅销书
Mr. Leigh has written a bestseller.
这肯定是夏季读物
We think it is going to be the read of the summer.
是的，我确定
Yeah, I'm sure
汉普顿的白人会喜欢它

是的

Is that little Thelonious Ellison?
天啊！ 梅纳德！
My God! Maynard!
大家还叫你蒙克吗？
Everyone still call you Monk?
是啊
Well,
除你之外所有人
everyone but you.
是个好名字
Well, it's a beautiful name.
用简称是容易些
It seems simple not to use it whole.
我高兴有人喜欢
Well, I'm glad someone appreciates it.
我听过你姐的事了，节哀顺变
I heard about your sister. My condolences.
谢谢
Thank you.
自从你爸去世后
I don't think I've seen you since
咱俩就没见过了吧？
before your father passed?
是的，有段时间了，我现在住洛杉矶
Yeah, it's been a while. I live in LA now.
哦！好莱坞
Oh! Hollywood.
你给NCIS（海军罪案调查处）写剧本吗？
Hey, do you write for that NCIS?
我只写书
Just books.
你应该给NCIS写剧本，很受欢迎的

嘿！ 嘿，停下来！
Hey! Hey, stop!
嘿！你要去哪里？
Hey! Where are you going?
丽莎在外面
Lisa's out there
与表兄弟打闹，有人会受伤的
roughhousing with the cousins. Somebody's going to get hurt.
停下来...
Stop. Um...
我去告诉她，好吗？
I will go tell her. Okay?
- 好的，但是 - 我带你回去
- Yeah, but then-- - I'll take you back to the house
然后我就去跟她说
and then I will go tell her.

我知道我知道
I know, I know.

这里太冷了
It's too cold out here.
- 你应该... - 好的
- You should... - Okay.
丽莎游泳不行
Lisa doesn't swim very well.
我知道 我知道
I know. I know.
好的，差不多了
Okay. Almost there.
好的
All right.
很好
Oh, good.
- 好的 - 来吧
- Good. - Here we go.
好的
All right.
好吧，蒙基
Okay, Monkie.
好的
All right.
这是我们的图书馆
And this is our library.
全是经典名著
It's full of all the classics. And we try to get some
也会有新书
new releases too.
你喜欢读书吗，埃里森夫人？
Do you like to read, Mrs. Ellison?
不喜欢
No.
这不是真的
That's not true.
她喜欢读书，她教我热爱阅读
She loves to read. She taught me to love reading.
或许我们可以
Perhaps we can get
买一些你儿子的书
some of your son's books in here.
你可以弄个读书俱乐部
And you can lead a book club.
哼
Hm.
不好意思
Sorry.
没关系，很多人一开始都这样
It's fine. It's hard for a lot of the residents at first.
她会安顿下来的
But she'll settle in.
是的
Right.
感谢你的帮助
I appreciate all your help,
我们多久才能让她进来？
but how soon do you think we can get her in?
大约一个月后
Uh, in about a month.
如果你想，今天就可以办理文书工作
You can start the paperwork today if you'd like.

我去看看你妈妈

你好，我叫卡尔·布伦特
How you doing? My name is Carl Brunt.
我是新英格兰图书协会
I am the director
的负责人
of the New England Book Association.
卡尔，我知道你是谁
Hi, Carl. I know who you are.
很好，那么你也知道
Oh, good. Then perhaps you'll also know
每年我们协会都会颁发一个
that each year my organization bestows
名字有点矫情的文学奖
the somewhat pretentiously named Literary Award.
每个作家都知道啊，卡尔
Every writer knows the Literary Award, Carl.
尤其是我们这些还没有获奖的
Especially those of us who haven't won it.
是的 是的
Yeah. Yeah.
我打电话来正是为了这个
Well, that's sort of related to why I'm calling.
像许多美国机构一样
Like many American institutions,
我们最近有些担忧
mine was recently rattled by the notion
因为我们缺乏多样性
that our lack of diversity
这是我们工作中的盲点
had led to a blind spot in our work.
我们正在努力解决这个问题
So, you know, we're kind of trying to remedy that.
为此，我想知道
And to that end, I was wondering
作为今年颁奖典礼的评委
how you might feel
你有何感想？
about being a judge in this year's award ceremony?
嗯，首先
Um, let me say first,
卡尔，很荣幸你选择了我
Carl, that I'm honored you choose me
如果只是怕称为种族主义者
out of all the Black writers you could go to out of fear
你有大把黑人作家可以选
of being called racist.
是的，你客气了
Yeah, you're very welcome.
但听起来工作量很大啊
But I think this sounds like a lot of work.
是的，我不否认
Yeah, I can't deny that.
你得读上数十本书
I mean, you're going to have to read dozens of books.
可以为你提供适度的津贴
We could offer you a modest stipend.
即便如此，我也不确定
Even so, I'm not sure.
好的
Okay.
我提一种低级福利
One of the crass perk I reference
当人们持观望态度时
when people are kind of on the fence like this
这让你有机会
is that this will allow you the opportunity
真正地评判别的作家
to literally judge these other writers for once,
而不只是象征性的
rather than just figuratively.
好吧，我来
All right, I'm in.
太棒了，好的
Well, fantastic. Okay.
挺好，你将成为五名评委之一
Great. So you're going to be one of five judges.
迄今为止我们唯一确认的
Uh, the only one we have confirmed so far
是辛塔拉·金
is Sintara Golden.
你熟悉辛塔拉·金的作品吗？
Are you familiar with Sintara Golden's work?
有点印象
Vaguely.
她很棒，你会爱上她的，伙计
Oh, she's great. You're going to love her, man.
我给你带了午餐，蒙克先生
I brought you lunch, Mr. Monk.
哦，哇
Oh, wow.
我怎么有如此口福？
To what do I owe the pleasure?
我有件事想请你帮忙
Well, I have a favor to ask.
我是否可以
I was wondering if I might be able
下午请个假
to take the afternoon off.
梅纳德刚刚从海滩回来

Right this way, ma'am.
妈妈，我不会太久的
Mother, I won't be long.
慢慢来
Take your time.

What's this guy's name?
- 威利？ - 威利·巴尔德斯皮诺
- Willy? - Wiley. Wiley Valdespino.
他专门研究奥斯卡“问题”电影
He specializes in Oscar-baity "issue" movies.
他去年拍了《中间通道》
He did the Middle Passage one last year.
我没看
Somehow I didn't see that.
当然没有，你还没堕落成那样
Of course, not. You're not lobotomized.
但如果他改编你的书
But if he adapts your book,
你会赚很多钱
you stand to make a lot of money.
怎么不能直接打电话？
Why can't we just do a phone call?
他说要开这么大的支票
Well, he said if he's going to cut a check this large,
必须得亲自见面
then he needs to meet in person.
好吧
All right.
我要做什么？
What do I need to do?
让他喜欢你就好
Just make him like you.
当我和他谈时
When I talked to him,
他对你是逃犯感到很兴奋
he seemed thrilled that you're a fugitive.
你懂的，发挥一下
Just, you know, play that up.
但万一他认出我怎么办？
But what if he recognizes me?
- 你？ - 是的，真的我
- You? - Yeah, the real me.
蒙克，你没那么出名
Monk, you're not that famous.
好莱坞没有人读书

The whole town runs on book reports.
你确定能照顾好我妈吗？
You sure you can look after my mother?
我会盯着的
She won't leave my sight.
况且，你就在街对面啊
You'll just be across the street, anyway.
街对面
Across the street.
你得走了，会迟到的
You should go. You'll be late.
他在等你
He's waiting for you.
好吧...
Well...
如果他想要刻板印象
if he, uh, wants the stereotype,
我迟到会更好
maybe it's better I'm late.
我猜是斯塔格吧？
Stagg, I presume?
我就是
That's me.

What are you drinking?
我要一杯白诗南
I'll have a Chenin Blanc.
好的
All right.
最干的

Well, what's funny?
对你这样的人来说，有点怪
Ah, it's just a strange order for a guy like you.
为什么？
Why is that?

The people I met in there allowed me to see
充满被低估的故事
a whole world of underrepresented stories
以及被低估的讲述人
from underrepresented storytellers.
能问下你是怎么进去的吗？
Can I ask what you were in for?
我不喜欢谈这个
I don't like to talk about that.
你懂吗？
You feel me?
是谋杀吗？
Was it murder?
这是你说的，不是我说的
You said that, not me.
知道吗
You know,
我得告诉你，在你来之前
I got to tell you, before you showed up,
我有点担心你可能是个骗子
I was a little worried you might be a phony.
好莱坞假货很多
A lot of fakes in Hollywood.
我不是好莱坞来的
Well, I'm not from Hollywood.

这是显而易见的
That's obvious.
显然，你和一般的编剧
Clearly, you're cut from a different cloth

我们不能把每部小说
I mean, we can't be expected to read
都从头到尾看一遍，对吧？
every novel all the way through, right?
不同意，人们为这些书付出了心血
No, people have worked hard on these books.
我们得表示尊重
And we have to respect that.
努力付出不一定需要尊重
Well, hard work doesn't demand respect.
我是说
I mean, you know,
人们为第三帝国努力付出
people worked hard on the Third Reich .
好吧，我觉得不读完每一页
Yeah, well, I feel that we owe it to them
是亏欠他们

那是胡说八道
That is such horseshit.
大部分都会是
I mean, most of it's going to be

If you want to read beyond that,
这是你的自由

你怎么想，蒙克？
Well, how do you feel, Monk?
我同意辛塔拉的观点
Um, I agree with Sintara, actually.
我认为100页就足够了
I think 100 pages is sufficient.
全是瞎扯淡
You know, this is all a crock, anyway.
我是说，让艺术相争
I mean, pitting art against other art for awards,
还要假装客观
like, it's not subjective.
这太荒谬了
It's absurd.
既然如此，那你还当评审？

from home next week.
告诉我你喜欢什么
And you just tell me the pieces you like,
我会把它们带过来
- and I'll bring them.

I don't like being the center of attention.
你值得的，洛林
Well, you deserve it, Lorraine.
梅纳德是一个幸运的人
And Maynard is a lucky man.
你会愿意
Do you think you'd be willing
陪我走红毯吗？
to walk me down the aisle, Mr. Monk?
我的荣幸
I'd be honored.
哇 哇
Wow. Wow.
我们非常兴奋
We are wildly excited
帮你出版《My Pafology》
to help you get My Pafology out.
我们营销团队有很多
The marketing team has all kinds
非常好的营销策略
of great ideas to help you sell it.

Great. We're excited to hear.
约翰·博斯科是部门负责人
John Bosco is the head of the department.
我让他详细介绍
I will let him tell you more.
嗨，斯塔格
Hi, Stagg.
你好
Hello.
终于联系到本尊了，大兄弟
Nice to finally meet you, my man.
我喜欢这本书
Listen, I love the book.
我们肯定会大卖的
And we are going to sell many, many copies.
由于电影改编，已引起了很多热议
There's already so much buzz because of the movie deal.
我们想保持这种势头
And we just want to keep that momentum going.
我昨天和威利谈过
I spoke to Wiley yesterday.
他说迈克尔·B·乔丹很感兴趣
He says Michael B. Jordan is circling.
我们听说了
We heard.
他完美适合角色
We think he would be absolutely perfect.
这本书
You know, this book,
是大写B的奖杯诱饵
it's awards-bait with a capital B.
如果迈克尔真的签约
And we're thinking that if Michael does sign on,
我们想让他登上封面
we want to put him on the cover
弄一条领巾
in one of those, um, scarves,
你们是那么叫的吗，绑在他头上
I guess you would call them, tied round his head.
头巾？
A durag?
头巾，对的，头巾和背心
Durag. That's it. Durag and a tank top
露出肌肉来
with the muscles showing.
哦，热辣的要死啊
Ooh, somebody call the fire department.
流口水了
- Yummy.
干，对不起，忘记你爸了
Shit. Sorry. Your dad. Sorry.
所以对于发布日期
So listen, for a release date,
我们考虑得抓紧时间
we're thinking of rushing it,
以便能在六月节（废除奴隶制的节日）
so that we can get it out in time
及时发布
- for Juneteenth. - Yeah.
六月节？
Juneteenth?
我们考虑大型节日活动宣发
We're thinking of making a big holiday push.
黑人会大肆庆祝
Black people will be celebrating,
白人呢
white people will be feeling,
说实话，会有些白人内疚感
let's be honest, a little conscious-stricken.
这对您的书来说将是一个重要时刻
We think it's going to be a huge moment for your book.
那么，斯塔格
- So, Stagg,
你兴奋吗？
are you so, so happy?
我们觉得很棒，约翰，真的不错
We think it's great, John, really. Amazing.
是的，呃...
Yeah, it's, uh...
是很棒
It's great.
我有一个主意
And, you know, I've got an idea
想和你俩分享
I want to share with you two.
好吧
Oh, well,
我们愿意听好想法
I mean, we always love to hear great ideas.
是的
- Oh, yeah, cool. - Yeah.
我想改标题
I want to change the title.
呃...
Uh...
- 我不... - 好的
- I don't... - Okay.
好吧，首先说明
Um, well, just to be clear,
我们真的很爱
we really do love
- 《My Pafology》 - 爱它
- My Pafology. - Love it.
有那种欧文·威尔士（《猜火车》作者）
It's got that whole Irvine Welsh
底层人民的语言
- proletarian vernacular thing. - Yeah.
这就是为什么我认为
No, and that's why I think
你们会更喜欢这个新标题
you're going to love this new title even more.
好吧，你知道吗
Well, okay, you know what,
我们非常乐意听取
we're always happy to hear new ideas.
你有什么想法？
What did you have in mind?
他妈的
Fuck.
对不起，没听清
I'm sorry. Pardon me.
他妈的
Fuck.
我想称之为《他妈的》（FUCK）
I want to call it Fuck.
- 你在干什么？ - 玩这些白痴
- What are you doing? - Screw these idiots.
- 别闹 - 不行
- Stop it. - No.
斯塔格，叫《该死》怎么样？
So, Stagg, what about, uh, like, Damn?
- 嗯嗯 - 《该死》？ 《见鬼》？
- Mm-hm. - Damn? Or Hell?
不行，就叫《他妈的》
Nah. Fuck.
好吧，很酷
Okay, that's cool. Uh...
我们用PH代替法 （FUCK变PHUCK常用规避手法）
But maybe we could do that with a PH instead
就没那么生猛
because that would be more palatable...
对于读者来说
- Yes. Yes. - ...to our sellers.
我不在乎
I don't care about all that.
如果不改变标题，交易就结束
And if you don't change the title, the deal is off.
哇，哇，哇
- Oh, yeah. No. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
没必要着急
- There's no need to be hasty. - No, no, no.
知道吗？
You know what?
我们为什么不
Why don't we--
给我们一点时间
Juts give us a second
等一会儿
and, um, a moment
我们等下回复您，好吗？
and we will get right back to you, okay?
你在干什么？
What are you doing?
干什么？ 这太荒唐了
What are you doing? This is ridiculous.
你知道有多少钱吗？
Do you know how much money we're talking about?
我不在乎，我要毙了它
I don't care, I'm shutting it down.
- 毙了它？得了 - 毙了它
- Shutting it-- Come on. - Shutting it down.
- 在吗？ - 拜托了
- Are you there? - Please, just...
我们在
- We're here.
就这样吧
Let's do it.
- 啥？ - 啥？
- What? - What?
是的，我们讨论过了
Yeah. We discussed it,
我们认为这很放肆
and we think it is very in your face
以最好的方式表达
in the best way possible.
这是非常，呃...
It is very, uh...
- 呃...
- Uh...
- 黑色的？ - 就是如此
- Black? - That's it.
对，就是如此
Yes, that's it.
很高兴你说了，而不是我
I'm happy you said it, and not me.
哦，《他妈的》
Oh, fuck.
- 太棒了，斯塔格 - 我喜欢它
- It's fucking great, Stagg. - I love it.
- 是的 - 天啊
- Yes. - Oh, my...
其实这真的很勇敢
You know, it's so brave actually.
我累极了
I'm exhausted.
我也是
Yeah, me too.
我得再熬几个小时
I got to stay up a few more hours
读这些书
reading these books for...
嘿
Hey.
嘿
Hey.
嘿 嘿！
Hey. Hey!
兄弟，妈的
Bro. Oh, shit.
你在这里做什么？
What are you doing here?
我干嘛？那你干嘛？
What am I doing here? - What are you doing here?
你是什​​么意思？
What do you mean, what am I doing?
你为什么过来了？
Why are you in town?
我是来看咱妈的
I came to see our mother.
这些天你不是一直叫我来吗？
Ain't that what you been calling me about for weeks now?
你的眼睛怎么了？
What happened to your eye?
- 我打架了 - 是的
- I got into a fight. - Yeah.
好吧，离开泳池吧
Well, get out of the pool.
- 你搞得一团糟 - 我不想离开泳池
- You're making a mess. - I don't want
我是个成年人了
to get out of the pool. I'm a grown-ass man.
这是你女朋友吗？
This your girlfriend?
是的，你把她吓坏了
Yeah, you scared the shit out of her.
我是卡萝兰
I'm Coraline.
嗨，卡萝兰
Hi, Coraline.
至少她不是白人
At least she's not white again.
你老婆是白人
- Your wife was white.
我老婆有胡子，有胡子不算
My wife was a beard. Beards don't count.
好吧，上来吧
Well, get out.
你他妈的瞎搞
You fucking menace.
会吵醒邻居的
You'll wake the neighbors.
干你的邻居！
You know, fuck your neighbors!
干你的干净泳池！
And fuck your clean pool!
这都是你的自傲情结
It's all just a part of your superiority complex, anyway.
他妈的混蛋
- Fucking asshole.
你是小孩子吗！
- You are a goddamn child!
现在告诉你有点晚了
It's probably a bad time to tell you,
但我确实在里面尿了
but I did piss down there.
你妈的
Fuck.
有意思吧？
Oh, funny, huh?
对不起，蒙克
I'm sorry, Monk.
别生气
Don't get mad.
滚一边去
Get out of here.
放马过来啊？
You want a piece of me?
很好玩，是吧？
It's funny, huh?
我和他躺在床上
So I'm lying in bed with him,
一丝不挂
butt-ass naked
克劳德拿着冻酸奶过来
and in walks Claude carrying the frozen yogurt.
- 不会吧 - 我忘了跟他说过
- No. - Yeah, I forgot I'd shown him
备用钥匙放哪了
where I keep the spare key.
然后他就把酸奶扔过来
So he just throws the yogurt at us
猛击我的眼睛
and then he wallops me right in the eye.
另外一个人呢？
What was the other guy doing?
他在哈哈大笑
He couldn't stop laughing.
他紧张的时候就那个样子
He said that's what he does when he gets nervous.
好的
Okay.
这些天你很放荡啊
You really going for it these days.
我之前只是搞了五分钟基
I only been gay for, like, five minutes,
这我得找补啊
I got to make up for lost time.
是的，你开心就行
Yeah. Well, good for you.
全世界都在崩溃
I mean, the whole world's falling apart.
得及时行乐
Might as well have some fun.
我很感激
- I appreciate that. - Yeah.
你很漂亮
You know, you're quite beautiful.
谢谢
Thank you.
你看上我哥哪一点？
What do you see in my brother?
- 他很有意思 - 嗯
- He's funny. - Mm.
- 他一点都不搞笑 - 不是哈哈那种搞笑
- He's not funny. No. - No, not ha-ha funny.
- 那种伤感有趣 - 好吧
- Like, sad funny. - Okay.
就像瘸腿狗一样
Like a three-legged dog.
我明白了，就像有人死在厕所里一样
I see it now. Like somebody dying on a toilet.
的确是
Exactly.
- 的确是 - 你总是
- Exactly. - Invariably,
- 太过分了 - 是吗？
- you go too far. - You think?
我觉得不算过分啊
I don't think I go far enough.
有点伤人了
It's becoming hurtful.
- 噢 - 看见没？
- Aw. - See?
- 看见没？ - “你啊”
- See? - "You know,
“你啊总是”
- invariably..." - Oh.
“你，你，你太过分了”
"...you go too far."
- 是的
- Yeah.
还有人亲你，伙计
- You got a kiss, man.
看看你，装可怜就行
Look at you. Just by being pathetic.
- 上帝保佑你 - 嘿
- God bless you. - Hey.
真的就像
- That is like
瘸腿狗
- a three-legged dog. - Hey.
哦，这儿不错
Oh, this is nice.
是的，还不错
Yeah, it's not bad.
那里有什么，凉棚？
What do you got there, pergola?
那是凉亭
No, that's a gazebo.
有什么区别
Same difference.
左转
- All right? - To the left.
借过一下
Oh. Excuse me.
呵呵
Huh.
蒙克？
Hey, Monk?
这地方你怎么负担得起？
How the hell can you afford this place?
我，嗯...
I, um...
丽莎留了一些钱给妈
Well, there was some money Lisa left for Mother.
还以为离婚让她破产了
Thought the divorce cleaned her out.
我不了解她的财务状况
Well, I'm not familiar with what her finances were like,
但如果你对账单有兴趣
but if you're so interested in the bills,
要我寄给你吗？
perhaps I can start sending them to you?
不用，我们去哪儿？
Ah, it's fine. Where we going?
到了，44号
Right here. 44.
惊喜！
Surprise!
今天早上情况不好
We've had a difficult morning.
她动手打了护士 只好给她注射镇静剂
We had to sedate her after she tried to strike a nurse.
- 之前动过手吗？ - 没有
- Has she done that before? - No.
她每天的举止都不一样
She has a different demeanor every day.
有时隔一会就变
Sometimes every hour.
可能明天会好一些
But maybe she'll feel better tomorrow.
对不起，我得走了
I'm sorry, I need to go.
好的，谢谢
Yes, of course. Thank you.
园丁把这些剪下来
The gardener cut these
从你妈家的灌木丛中
right off the bush for your mom.
- 不错吧？ - 挺好
- Sweet, right? - Yeah, that's great.
这里你怎么负担得起？
How can you afford this place?
我说你不会是
I mean, you're not
毒贩什么的吧？
a drug dealer or something, are you?
不是，我是作家
No, I'm a writer.

It was nice to meet you, Cliff.
这个家会让你心碎
This family will break your heart.
欢迎回来，我是肯尼亚邓斯顿
Welcome back. I'm Kenya Dunston
今天我们要讨论
and today, we're going to discuss
一本刚问世就登上《纽约时报》
a new novel that just debuted at number one
畅销书排行榜第一的新小说
on The New York Times bestseller list.
真的是一本了不起的、特别的书
It is just a remarkable, special book,
标题是
and it's called...
捂住孩子的眼睛和耳朵...
Cover your kids' eyes and ears...
我们足够幸运
We are lucky enough
今天请到了作者
to have the author with us today.
各位刚刚打开电视机的观众
And for those of you who are just joining us,
斯塔格·R·李先生
please know that Mr. Stagg R. Leigh
从一个秘密地点接受访谈
is coming to us from an undisclosed location
因为他仍在逃避当局的追捕
as he is still on the run from authorities.
斯塔格，告诉我们 这本小说是真实故事吗？
Oh, Stagg, tell us, is this novel a true story?
不完全属实
Not factually,
但这是我这种美国黑人
but it's the true story of what it's like
的亲身经历
to be a Black man in America like me.
不那么光鲜亮丽
And it ain't pretty.
完全认同
Amen to that.
我服刑的那段时间
During my time in prison,
了解到言语属于每个人
I learned that words belong to everybody.
所以这本书是我
So this book is my contribution
对我们这个美好国家的贡献
to this wonderful country of ours
黑人前科犯也可以通过
where a Black ex-con can become rich
讲述他不幸同胞的故事致富
simply by telling the story of his unfortunate people.
嗯
Hm.
是的 是的
- Yes. Yes.
- 啥事 - 听听这个
- Yeah. - Get this.
联邦调查局传唤汤普森·瓦特
The FBI called Thompson Watt today
想取得斯塔格·R·利的身份
to try to get Stagg R. Leigh's identity.
- 什么？ - 不用担心
- What? - Don't worry.
他们不会抛弃他的
They're not going to give him up.
抛弃谁？就是我啊，我什么也没做
Give who up? It's me, I haven't done anything.
他们不知道
They don't know that.
- 这已经太过火了 - 别担心
- Look, this has gone too far. - Relax.
逃犯的事给我们带来了
The fugitive stuff's getting us
海量的免费宣传
mountains of free press.
此外，正如你所说
- Plus, as you said,
你什么都没做
you haven't done anything.
他们不可能逮捕你
It's not like they can arrest you.
真想回到无人问津的时候
I wish I could go back to not selling books.
我不想
- I don't.
再见
Bye.
一切都顺利吗？
Is everything all right?
是的
Yeah.
有点压力 那个
I'm just a little stressed out. This, uh.
图书奖的工作 比我预期的要多一些
book award stuff is a bit more work than I expected.
嗯
Hm.
嗯
- Mm.
干
Shit.
没事，厨房里有的是叉子
It's no biggie. Got more forks in the kitchen.
这是什么？
What's this?
我的朋友给我买的
Mm. My friend got it for me.
你读过吗？
Have you read it?
当然没有，你有吗？
Of course not, have you?
读了
Yeah.
你觉得怎么样？
And what did you think of it?
- 我喜欢 - 你喜欢什么？
- I liked it. - What did you like about it?
- 嗯... - 没有冒犯到你吗？
- Um... - It didn't offend you?
你刚说你没读过啊
You just said you didn't read it.
你怎么了？
What's your problem?
你回答我
No, you answer my question.
你先回答我的
You answer mine.
我是说这种书太浮夸
My problem is that books like this aren't real.
模式化我们的生活
They flatten our lives.
什​​么意思？
What do you mean?
我的意思是...
I mean, that...
我的人生是一场灾难
you know, my life is a disaster,
但不是这本书呈现出来的样子
but not in the way you'd think reading this shit.
这玩意会削弱我们
These things reduce us
而他们一而再的推这些
and they do it over and over again because
是因为白人喜欢，而像你这种
too many white people, and people apparently like you
则像猪吃泔水一样接受这些垃圾
devour this slop like pigs at a dumpster
只为了在鸡尾酒会上紧跟潮流
to stay current at fucking cocktail parties
好吧，嗯...
- or whatever. - Okay, um...
对于很久没出书的人来说
You got a lot of opinions for someone
你意见有点多了
who hasn't published anything for years.
那你又出了什么书？
And you've published what exactly?
好吧，你怎么了？
Okay, what is wrong with you?
你为什么这个样子？
Why are you acting like this?
我什么样子啊
I'm not acting like anything.
最近你一直怪怪的
You've been acting like a weirdo for weeks.
你一直装糊涂，鬼鬼祟祟的
You've been obfuscating, sneaking around.
你他妈不可捉摸啊
You're fucking unknowable.
你可能觉得扮神秘很艺术，很时髦
Maybe you think being an enigma is chic and artsy.
我只觉得很傻逼
I just think it makes you an asshole.
嗯，嗯
Well, um,
我的生活你不懂，也搞不明白
you don't understand my life, and you can't,
那就这样吧
so just leave it at that.
总有一天，你会学到
One day, maybe you'll learn
不能与人相处
that not being able to relate to other people
并不值得骄傲
isn't a badge of honor.
我想你得走了
I think you should leave.
知道我怎么想吗？
Well, you know what I think?
你得走了，蒙克
You should leave, Monk.
一派胡言
Nonsense.
你们要帮忙吗？
You guys need any help with that?
不用
Nah, we're good.
我以为能帮把手
I thought you could use a little brawn.
- 我们能搞定 - 蒙克先生
- We got it. - Mr. Monk.
你介意我拿走气泡机吗？
You mind I keep the soda maker?
你不喜欢气泡水，对吗？
You don't like the bubbly water anyhow, right?
- 都是你的了 - 谢谢
- It's all yours. - Thank you.
嘿，这个呢？
Um... Hey, what about this?
不用，我一直讨厌那种颜色
No. I always hated that color.
这是你父亲买的
It's just the one your father bought.
塞隆尼厄斯, 你的
Thelonious, this just came for you.
谢谢
Okay, thanks.
都弄完了
This is the last of it.
再见，蒙克先生
Goodbye, Mr. Monk.
再见，洛林
Bye, Lorraine.
小心开车
Drive safe.
婚礼上见
Guess I'll see you at the wedding.
好的
All right.
我来拿
I'll take that there.
我们很高兴提交这本书 参加文学奖的评选
汤普森·瓦特显然争相出版
Thompson Watt apparently raced to publish it.
是的，我听说已售出30万本
Yeah, I heard that they ran 300,000 copies already
很快就会重印更多
and they're reprinting more soon.
简直火的一塌糊涂
I mean, it's going like gangbusters .
我的个天！
Christ on a crutch!
最好是本好书
It better be good.
我听说作者是逃犯
Hey, I heard the writer's a fugitive.
那书名就说得通了
Well, that would explain the title.
没啥文化
He didn't go to charm school.
我觉得这种背景是个优势
No, I think that that background is a plus.
我很激动读一本
I am thrilled
因监狱制度迫害的BIPOC写的书 （BIPOC：黑人、原住民和有色人种）
to read a BIPOC man harmed by our carceral state.
你也是支持“撤资警察”的疯子吗？
Are you one of those defund the police nuts?
是的，不指望你能理解
Yes, and I wouldn't expect you to understand.
希望你爱的人不会被奸杀
Well, I hope someone you love doesn't get raped or murdered.
我们现在能不谈这个吗？
Can we not talk about this now, please?
听着，不管怎么样
Look, look, look. Criminal or not,
我们不应该加进来
I don't think we should add it.
我们已经开始几周了
We're already weeks into the process,
我不知道你们怎么样
and I don't know about any of you,
反正我这还有十几本
but I've got more than a dozen books
都没来得及看
I haven't even opened yet.
那书是截止日期前发布的
It was published before the submission date,
我们得接受它
I think we have to accept it.
而且，这书适合快速阅读，不费脑
Yeah, it's just one more. And from the looks of it, it should be a quick read.
打快炮
A quick fuck.
我打过几次
I've had a couple of those.
再见，伙计们
- Bye, guys. Bye.
嗨，蒙基
Hi, Monkie.
你看起来很美
You look beautiful.
哦，你好啊
Oh, hello.
蒙基，我们认识这些人吗？
Monkie, do we know these men?
不认识，妈，你没犯病
No, Mother, this isn't the Alzheimer's,
是真的不认识，你们是谁？
these are actual strangers. Who are you people?
我们是克里夫的朋友
We're Cliff's friends.
当然是
Of course, you are.
我们几天前相遇，我是肯尼，他是阿尔文
We met him a few days ago. I'm Kenny, this is Alvin.
你是蒙克吗？
Are you Monk?
我是，你怎么知道？
I am. How did you know?
克里夫说过，蒙克是老古板
Oh. Well, Cliff said Monk's a real tight-ass.
他说了吗？
Did he?
真高兴
Delightful.
妈，你坐在这
Mother, you sit here.
洛林？
Lorraine?
你喜欢炒鸡蛋吗？
Do you like scrambled eggs?
我喜欢炒鸡蛋
I love scrambled eggs.
你在这干什么？
What the hell are you doing here?
你先说
You first.
干，那个婚礼
Oh, shit, the wedding.
- 啊 - 哦，操！
- Ah. - Oh, fuck!
那天我没有去机场
I didn't go to the airport.
我想独处一下
That day I left, I needed some time to myself.
独处的定义是一个人单独相处
Time to oneself implies by definition, time alone.
天哪，又来了
Oh, Christ, here we go.
- 侦探词典 - 啊！
- Detective Dictionary. - Ah!
克里夫先生
Mr. Cliff.
抱歉，我会处理的
I'm sorry, guys, I'll handle it.
你得走了
You need to leave.
别费心清理，走吧
Don't bother to clean up, just go.
没关系的
Oh, no, it's all right, just...
请留下来
Please stay.
这是庆祝活动啊
It's a celebration.
很高兴见到你，克里夫
It's good to see you, Cliff.
见到你也很高兴，梅纳德
It's good to see you too, Maynard.
我，嗯...
I, um...
我不想麻烦
I... I don't want to impose.
你见外了
You can't impose.
咱们是一家人
You're family.
好的
Okay.
我会，呃...
I'll, uh...
我去打扫一下，好吗？
I'll go clean up a bit, yeah?
恭喜你们
Congratulations, you guys.
能给你们做点早餐吗？
Can we make y'all some breakfast?
我会做超赞的奶昔
I can whip up a killer smoothie
阿尔文在游轮上的煎蛋卷站做过
and Alvin used to work the omelet station on a cruise ship.
听起来不错，谢谢
That sounds lovely. Thank you.
你留他们下来太好心了
It's very kind of you to let them stay.
哦
Oh.
管别人家的事
It's always easier dealing
容易过管自己家的事
with other people's families than your own.
遗憾的告诉你，几小时后
I regret to inform you that in a couple hours,
就是你自家的事了
this will be your family.

惹恼她了？
Piss her off?
是的
Yeah.
- 把她拒之门外？ - 是的
- Shut her out? - Yeah.
跟老爸一个样
Dad shut everyone out too.
也是鬼话连篇
He lied all the time.
看看结果如何
Look how that turned out.
我觉得自己
I find myself
这些天和爸一样生气
getting very angry these days like Dad.
这些天？
These days?
我最近常想
I've been thinking a lot lately about
爸爸为啥到死 都不知道我是同性恋
how Dad died not knowing I'm gay.
- 我想他有所怀疑的 - 嗯
- I think he suspected it. - Mm.
他是怀疑
He may have.
但他不确定
But he didn't know for sure.
他从来不了解我
He never knew the entirety of me.
也永远没机会了
And now he never will.
这让我...
And that makes me...
让我很难过
It makes me real sad.
那他了解了 但是不喜欢你怎么办？
Well, what if he had known and rejected you?
至少他讨厌的是真实的我
At least he'd be rejecting the real me.
我知道这很扯
I know that sounds crazy,
但那样能让我释怀
but there'd be some relief in that.
也没那么扯
It doesn't sound so crazy.
人都想爱你，蒙克
People want to love you, Monk.
我不知道他们瞧上你哪点了，但是...
I personally don't know what they see in you, but...
他们爱你
they want to love you.
你不能老是藏着掖着
You should let them love all of you.
都是狗屁
It was dogshit.
娇生惯养的笨蛋
I mean, some mollycoddled chump
墨迹着他死去的老妈…
faffing on about his dead mom...
谁在乎？
Who cares?
好吧，那《站着埋葬我》排第四
Okay, so that means that Bury Me Standing is fourth.
我们来谈谈《他妈的》
Let's talk about Fuck.
能不谈吗？
Could we not?
个人而言，我很喜欢它
Personally, I adored it.
像凝视一个开放性伤口
It was like gazing into an open wound.
我同意
I agree.
这是长久以来我读过的
I think it's the strongest African-American novel
最强的非裔美国人小说
I've read in a long time.
当然是自你之后
I mean, since yours.
- 辛塔拉 - 谢谢
- Of course, Sintara. - Thank you.
我其实呢
You know, I actually liked it
比预期的要喜欢得多
much more than I was expecting.
这是一部勇敢的作品
I mean, this is a gutsy piece of work.
也是时代所需的
And necessary for the times.
你觉得如何，辛塔拉？
What did you think, Sintara?
实际上，我觉得它很迎合大众
I found it to be pretty pandering, actually.
是吗？
You did?
是的，你不觉得吗？
Yes. Did you not?
我深有同感
I very much did.
我觉得太粗俗简单，毫无意义
I thought it was simplistic and meaningless.
当然简单
Well, of course, it was simplistic.
我说那都是贫民窟的调子
I mean, it's the language of the gutter.
而不是拘谨的研究生论文
You know, not some prissy graduate thesis.
“贫民窟的调子”我的天
"Language of the gutter." Jesus Christ.
咱们都累了
I think our blood sugar's low.
休息一下吃午饭怎么样？
How about we take a break for lunch, huh?
- 我没意见 - 好的
- Fine by me. - Okay.
- 好的 - 真的？
- Okay. - Really?
好的
Okay.
哦，对不起
Oh, I'm sorry.
哦，没事
Oh, no, you're fine.
没打扰吗？
What, I'm not interrupting?
没有
- No.
对不起
Sorry.
介意我问你件事吗？
Do you mind if I ask you something?
当然可以
Sure.
嗯...
Um...
你怎么发现那本书很迎合？
What about Fuck did you find pandering?
哦...
Oh, uh...
我说不出个具体原因
I can't really put my finger on it, but...
和其他的书也没啥不同
it's not different from some of what's out there,
但只是感觉...
but it just felt...
没有灵魂...
soulless...
这就是我的评价
is the word that I'm going to use.
你也同意，对吧？
You said you agreed, right?
是的，我觉得就是那种
Yeah, I do. I think it seems written
满足白人内疚感口味的
to satisfy the tastes of guilt-ridden white people.
是的，书评家称之为重要
Yeah, the kind of book critics call important
并且必要，但写得不好的书
and necessary, but not well-written.
的确是
- Exactly.
好吧，别生气
Okay, so... And please don't take offense at this,
我想问《他妈的》
but how is Fuck
和你写的书有很大不同吗？
so very different from your book?
就为了这个吗？
Is that what this is about?
- 你觉得我的书是垃圾？ - 没有
- You think my book's trash? - No.
说实话，我还没读过你的书
To be honest, I haven't read your book.
我读过摘录
I've read excerpts
看起来也差不多啊
and it didn't seem so dissimilar.
我是做了很多研究的
I did a lot of research for my book.
一些内容取自真实的采访
Some of it was actually taken from real interviews.
也许你在学术界的
Maybe you've been up
象牙塔里呆太久了
in your ivory tower of academia for so long
忘记了普罗大众的生活
you've forgotten that some people's lives are hard.
你的生活？
Your life?
你读的是高级波西米亚大学
You went to an exclusive bohemian college.
你有一份不错的工作
You had a job at a fancy
纽约出版社
publishing house in New York.
又怎样？我不需要写我的生活
So what? I don't need to write about my life.
我写的是人们感兴趣的东西
I write about what interests people.
你写的是白人出版商喜欢的
You write what interests white publishers
痴迷的黑人创伤文化
fiending Black trauma porn.
他们是买家啊
They're the one buying the manuscripts.
迎合他们的口味不行吗？
Is it bad to cater to their tastes?
如果你对满足低级欲望
If you're okay feeding
没意见的话
people's base desires for profit--
我愿意迎合市场需求
I'm okay with giving the market what it wants.
毒贩也这么说
That's how drug dealers excuse themselves.
那毒品也应该合法
And I think drugs should be legal.
你不厌倦吗？
But you're not fed up with it?
贫苦的黑人
You know, Black people in poverty?
黑人说唱
Black people rapping?
黑人奴隶
Black people as slaves?
黑人被警察杀害
Black people murdered by the police?
老旧的翔升叙事手法...
Old soaring narratives about...
好吧
Okay.
处境艰难的黑人
Black folks in dire circumstances
死前还能维持尊严
who still managed to maintain their dignity before they die?
我并不是说这些不真实
I mean, I'm not saying these things aren't real,
但我们不止于此
but we're also more than this.
很多你这样的作家不能设想
And it's like so many writers like you can't envision us
脖子上没有白靴子（不受种族压迫）
without some white boot on our necks.
你讨厌布雷特·伊斯顿·埃利斯？ （《美国精神病》作者）
Do you get angry at Bret Easton Ellis
或查尔斯·布考斯基（作家）
or Charles Bukowski
写关于底层人物的文章？
for writing about the downtrodden?
或者你只针对黑人女性？
Or is your ire strictly reserved for Black women?
没有人读布考斯基的书
Nobody reads Bukowski thinking
会认为他是白人体验的权威
his is the definitive white experience.
但是白人
But people, white people,
读你的书就会产生定势思维
read your book and confine us to it.
认为我们都是这样子的
They think that we're all like that.
这是你和白人的问题
Then it sounds like your issue
蒙克，跟我无关
is with white people, Monk, not me.
也许吧，但我认为
Well, maybe, but I also think
我也看到了这个国家里的黑人
that I see the unrealized potential
未实现的潜力
of Black people in this country.
潜力的意思难道不是
Potential is what people see when they think
人们觉得现状不够好吗
what's in front of them isn't good enough.
咱们在聊啥呢？
So, what are we talking about?
卡萝兰：完美，别忘了买橄榄油 对不起
对不起，我有话想跟你说 下周能陪我出席颁奖典礼吗？
我们又要开始了
We're starting again.
我马上到
I'll be right there.
能和亚瑟讲话吗？对，是蒙克
Hey, can I speak to Arthur? Yeah, it's Monk.
嘿
Hey.
我很好
I'm fine.
听着，你可以安排
Listen, you think you can set up
再和威利会面吗？
another meeting with Wiley?
我有一个新想法
I've got a new idea for him.
不同类型的电影
Different kind of movie.
谢谢
Thanks.
对我来说就是《他妈的》了
I think it's Fuck for me.
- 我也是 - 我同意
- Yeah, me too. - Yeah, I agree.
我不同意，对不起
I disagree. I'm sorry.
我觉得奖励这本书
I think it would be a mistake
是大错特错
to award this book anything.
二对三，所以...
Well, it's two versus three, so...
《他妈的》胜出
Fuck's the winner.
《他妈的》胜出
Fuck is the winner.
不仅仅是因为它的影响力
You know, it's not just that it's so affecting,
我还觉得这是必要的
I just think it's essential
现在就得倾听黑人的声音
to listen to Black voices right now.
妈
Mother.
你是否...
Did you...
你知道爸爸有外遇吗？
Did you know that Dad was cheating on you?
他藏不住事
He was bad at keeping secrets.
你为什么不离开他？
Why didn't you leave him?
如果没有我，他会更加孤独
He would've been even more lonely without me.
你以为他孤独吗？
You thought he was lonely?
你父亲是个天才
You father was a genius.
天才都是孤独的...
Geniuses are lonely...
因为他们无法和人沟通
because they can't connect with the rest of us.
你是个天才，儿子
You're a genius, son.
我怎么完全感觉不到呢
Well, I certainly don't feel like one half the time.
那是因为你一直都
That's because you've always been
太苛求自己了，克里夫
so hard on yourself, Cliffy.
今晚的最后一个奖
And now for the final award for the evening.
颁完后保证不打扰你们吃饭
I promise to leave you alone, let you eat after this.
在我宣布获胜者之前
But before I announce the winner,
我要感谢我们的评委
I would like to acknowledge our judges,
我们的评审团极其多元化
our incredibly diverse group of judges
他们牺牲了宝贵的时间
who've sacrificed valuable time,
让我们今晚欢庆于此
so we could all celebrate here tonight.
所以请大家鼓掌
So if you put your hands together,
他们干得非常出色
they did a fantastic job.
好的
Okay.
废话不多说
Without further ado,
今年的文学奖颁给了...
this year's Literary Award goes to...
哦
Oh, I knew it.
作者斯塔格·R·利，《他妈的》
By Stagg R. Leigh, Fuck.
我不确定李先生
Well, I'm not sure if Mr. Leigh is going to grace us
今晚是否会光临
with his presence here tonight.
众所周知，他很谨慎
He's notoriously cagey about attention.
哦，等一下
Oh, hold on.
我看到点状况
Oh, okay. I see some business.
有人来了，塞隆尼斯·埃里森
Someone's coming. Oh, Thelonious Ellison.
我们尊敬的评审之一
One of our esteemed judges.
奇怪地走向舞台
Weirdly walking toward the stage.
不知道为什么
No idea why.
嘿
Hey.
怎么回事？
What's going on?
不好意思
Excuse me.
不好意思
Excuse me.
我有件事要坦白
I have a confession to make.
等等，等等，就黑场了？
Wait, wait, wait. Smash to black?
不行，老兄
No fucking way, dude.
有什么问题吗？
What's wrong with that?
这没完啊，他说了什么？
There's no resolution here. What's he going to say?
我不知道，要的就是这种感觉
I don't know. I think that's what's interesting about it.
不行，他得说点什么
No, he should say something.
你说了什么？
What did you say?
没什么，我走出仪式现场
Nothing. I walked out of the ceremony.
第二天，我打电话给你说
The next day I called you to say
我想写这部电影
I wanted to write this movie.
嗯，蒙克，这个人物
Well, Monk, the character
应该说点什么
should say something.
我不想让他给大家
Well, I don't want him to make some
来一段浮夸的演讲
grandiose speech spoon-feeding everyone
这个故事的主旨
the moral of the story.
就是没有主旨
There is no moral. That's the idea.
我喜欢这种模棱两可的感觉
I like the ambiguity.
好吧，你是个好作家
Okay, look. You're a good writer,
这本子就快齐活了
and this is almost there.
但小说不是电影，好吗？
But novels aren't movies, okay?
意蕴不能卖座
Nuance doesn't put asses in theater seats.
需要一个大结局，这是什么？
We need a big finish. What is this?
这是你要的苏打水
It's the seltzer you asked for.
怎么都湿了？
Why is it all wet?
凝结了？
Condensation?
凝结了，好的
Condensation. Okay.
你他妈去播天气预报吧
You're a fucking weatherman now.
你要点什么嘛？
You want anything?
不用，谢谢
Uh, no, I'm fine. Thank you.
好的，这是蒙克
All right. This is Monk.
- 他写好第三幕的话，就和他拍电影 - 很高兴见到你
- We're going to make a movie with him if he can get the third act right. - Nice meeting you.
- 我也是 - 给我一杯纯白
- You as well. - Get me a flat white.
再也别这样了
And, hey, never again.
好吧
All right.
你脑袋里还有别的结局吗？
What other endings you got in that big brain of yours?
那如果...
How about if...
今年的文学奖颁给了...
This year's Literary Award goes to...
作者斯塔格·R·利，《他妈的》
by Stagg R. Leigh, Fuck.
我想道歉
I'd like to apologize.
我最近有点魂不守舍
I haven't been myself lately.
这个怎么样？
What about that?
她会原谅吗？
Will she forgive him?
我不知道
I don't know.
真正的卡萝兰不回电话
The real Coraline won't return my phone calls.
也许电影版卡萝兰（《鬼妈妈》）更宽容一些
Maybe the movie Coraline is more forgiving.
不行，太敷衍了
No. It's too pat.
这都搞成浪漫喜剧片了
Makes the whole thing feel like a romantic comedy.
我们不想拍浪漫喜剧片
We don't want to make a romantic comedy.
我们要拍实在的东西
We want to make something real.
给我一些真实的东西
Give me something real.
我们也可以...
I mean, we could just...
嘿，怎么了？
Hey, what's going on?
打扰一下
Excuse me.
走开
Beat it.
我有件事要坦白
I have a confession to make.
斯塔格·李，趴在地上！
- Stagg Leigh, on the ground now!
他在那！
There he is!
不是，我不是斯塔格·李
No, no. I'm not Stagg Leigh.
他不存在
He doesn't exist.
我是蒙克，塞隆尼斯·埃里森
I'm Monk. Thelonious Ellison.
你是逃犯！趴地上！
You're a fugitive! On the ground now!
不是
No, no, no.
这是一个营销噱头
That was all a marketing gimmick.
- 这都是假的 - 他有枪！
- It was all a lie. - He's got a gun!
不行，不，不！
No, no! No, no!
他死了？
He's dead?
他们干掉他了？
They smoke him?
完美
It's perfect.
是的！简直...
Yes! That is...
简直完美
That is perfect.
去挑你的礼服了，我的兄弟
Time to pick out your tux, my brother.
咱们要去大场合了
We're going to the big show.
嘿嘿，来抄写一下吧，搞定了
Hey, come transcribe this. We got it.
妈的
Fuck.
嘿
Hey.
怎样？
So?
你的电影还拍不拍？
They going to make your movie or what?
很不幸，会拍
Unfortunately, yes.
嘿！ 你知道吗？
Hey! You know what?
有谁能帅到能演我啊
Good luck finding someone handsome enough to play me.
他们有的
I think they have.
谁啊？
Who they got?
泰勒·佩里
Tyler Perry.
还是你厉害
You got me. That's good.
好的
All right.
