That’s not what I’m doing.
约翰走路红牌威士忌 24美金
Johnnie Walker Red, 24 bucks.
约翰走路黑牌威士忌 50美金

你懂我的比喻了吗?
You see the metaphor?
不懂
No.
这些都是同公♥司♥制♥造♥的酒
These are all made by the same company.
红牌很难喝 黑牌没那么难喝 蓝牌很好喝
The Red is shit, the Black is less shit, the Blue is good.
但很少人买♥♥蓝牌 因为很贵
But fewer people buy the blue because it’s expensive.
而大家一天终了之时只想喝醉
And at the end of the day, most people just want to get drunk.
你的职涯中 你的书都是蓝牌
For most of your career, your books have been Blue.

They’re good, complex.
但它们并不受欢迎 因为人们只想看好读的书
But they’re not popular because most people want something easy.
你生平第一次写出红牌书
Now, for the first time ever, you’ve written a Red book.
简单又低俗
It’s simple, prurient.

It’s not great literature, but… satisfies an urge.
这是很宝贵的
And that’s valuable.
我想要描述的是 只因为你写了红牌书
What I’m trying to illustrate is that, just because you do Red
不表示你写不出蓝牌
doesn’t mean you can’t also do Blue.
你什么书都能写
You can do it all.
就像约翰走路一样
Like Johnnie Walker.
事实上 你比约翰走路还强 因为…
In fact, you got Johnnie Walker beat, because…
你还不用放上你真正的名字
you don’t even have to put your real name on it.
老天
Jesus.

原始能量是学不来的 对吧?
visceral energy cannot be taught, right?
斯塔格…我可以这么称呼你吗?
Stagg… May I call you–
斯塔格是笔名吗?
Now, is Stagg a pseudonym?
是的
Yes, uh, it is.
利亚先生不能用本名 因为他是…
Mr. Leigh can’t use his real name because he’s a…
他是通缉犯
Well, he’s a wanted fugitive.
我的天 哇
Oh, my God. Wow.
所以他才不能进行视频通话
That’s why this couldn’t be a video conference.
你疯了吗? 万一他们去查证怎么办?
Are you crazy? What if they fact check this?
查证? 他们连付编辑的费用都快没了
I checked. There’s barely money to pay editors anymore.
就跟着演出吧
Just go with it.

I’ve been reading a lot about the prison abolition movement…

Sorry to rush, Paula, but can we talk business?
利亚先生很重视他狱外的时间
Mr. Leigh values his time outside of a cell.
当然 我相信你们都很忙
Of course. I’m sure you’re both very, very busy
那么我就直接讲重点吧
so I will get right to it.
你会发现稿费非比寻常地高
