You’ll go from peak to peak, I’m sure.
关于备用胎的事情我是认真的
I’m very serious about the spare.
这本应该是你把它修好的
You were supposed to take care of it.
当你拒绝总统时他有什么反映?
And how did he react when you turned him down?

我等会把全部都告诉你, 好吗?
Why don’t I tell you all about it later, OK?
我现在真的没有心情说这些
I really don’t want to discuss it now.
好的
Fine.
别!
Oh, come on!
好, 我跟你说吧 – 太晚了
OK. Let’s talk. – Too late.
