曼克（2020）

我在想那个老剧本
I was thinking about that old play,
《婆罗洲的野人》
The Wild Man of Borneo,
你好久之前写的那个
the one you wrote in the Ice Age.
人从不记得自己糟糕的作品 那个剧本太粗糙了
One never remembers one’s disasters. It’s considered gauche.
剧本被搬上大荧幕
A play is never a disaster
才能看出好不好
till the movies say it is.
我拿给工作室的人看了看
I brought it to my people at the studio.
我们想请WC·菲尔兹出演
We want W.C. Fields.
还想请你为电影改编剧本
And we want you to adapt.
我现在手头在忙别的事
I’m kind of on something right now.
我可以付你剧本和改编的报酬
I can get you paid for the play and the adaptation.
听着不错
Sounds great.
但我得考虑考虑
But I’ll have to think about it.
你知道这种事很看时机吧
You know how these things have their moment.
原来你不是邀请我 而是含蓄的最后通牒
So this isn’t an offer. It’s a subtle ultimatum.
没人能指挥得动你
Nobody could ever tell you what to do.
是莎拉让你来问我的吗
Did Sara put you up to this?
没有的事 但我清楚你的情况
Not at all, but I know how things are.
我能从她声音里听出来
I can tell by her voice.
-情况有多糟 我的弟弟 -有多糟
– And how bad is that, baby brother? – How bad?
我昨晚去了场派对
I went to a party last night
斯科特·菲茨杰拉德在派对上说你无药可救
where Scott Fitzgerald referred to you as a ruined man.
情况就是这么糟
That’s how bad things can get.
这话不错 我可能用得上
That’s good. I may use that.
-赫米… -别试探了 乔伊
– Hermie… – Please, stop, Joey.
有什么话就直说吧
Just tell me what’s on your mind.
我听说你在打危险人物的主意
I hear you’re hunting dangerous game.
坊间传闻说电影公♥司♥的金童
Word on the street is radio’s golden boy
想和威利·赫斯特对着干
wants to go toe-to-toe with Willie Hearst,
而你也在暗中协助
and you’re helping in the kitchen.
-所以呢 -“所以呢”
– And? – “And?”
赫尔曼 什么叫”所以呢”
Herman, “And?”
我真是昏了头
How stupid of me.
我以为我是不食嗟来之食
I thought I was rejecting a humiliating handout,
可原来我是在拒绝一笔贿赂
when all the time, I was nixing a respectable bribe.
我真后悔关心你
And I’m sorry I ever cared.
趴下吧
Come on.
内景 圣西蒙礼堂 夜晚 闪回
玛丽安和我很高兴你们能来此度过周末
Marion and I are pleased you all could come stay for the weekend.
希望火车旅行没那么难熬
I hope the train ride wasn’t too arduous.

我有一次在布朗德比餐馆坐在他对面
I sat across from him at the Brown Derby once.

– He bought me a drink. – He didn’t!
严格来讲不是
Not technically.
但我之后特意在停车场佯装碰见他
But I made sure to run into him in the parking lot after.
我问他 “要搭便车吗”
I asked him, “Do you need a lift?”
不会吧 他怎么说
You didn’t! What did he say?
-我才不说 -这故事有重点吗 亲爱的
– I’ll never tell. – There’s a point to this, dear?
当然 他们放了希♥特♥勒♥
Well, yes, they showed that Hitler
发表演讲 亲吻婴儿的录影
giving a speech, kissing babies.
他让人毛骨悚然
He is creepers!
皮短裤配背带 确实可怕
Lederhosen and suspenders. Terrifying.
不 最恐怖的是他的胡子

不过也挺有趣
But it was quite interesting.
整晚都能听见穿着棕衣的恶棍在酒店门口踢正步
Thugs in brown shirts goose-stepping past our hotel all night,
喊着反犹太的口号♥

我天天提心吊胆
I was terrified the whole time.
这个希♥特♥勒♥听起来像是平庸之辈
This Hitler sounds like an utter drip.
