I spoke to Bill Colden about you.
他说你是曾共事的最佳律师之一
He says you’re one of the best lawyers he’s ever worked with.
我很清楚比尔，他不轻易称赞人
And I know Bill. Praise doesn’t come easy to him.
我们关系不错，他善于打理公♥司♥

我较喜欢独自工作
I prefer to work on a project by myself
但有需要时也跟其他人合作愉快

合作伙伴是男女也没关系
I work equally well with men or women…
但我宁可选择男性上司
but I prefer to report to a man.
为什麽？
Why’s that?
许多女人认为我是威胁
Many women find me threatening.
我会向你汇报吗？ 是的
Would I be reporting to you? – Yes.
那我们没什麽需要担心了
So, we’d have nothing to worry about, then.
为什麽认为女人觉得你是威胁
Why do you think women find you threatening?
我不加入手袋党，我行我素
I’m not in the sisterhood. I’m my own person.
你在这城市搬进搬出过几次
I saw from this that you moved to and from this area several times.
每当我寻求新发展便离开
I’ve gone wherever I’ve had to go to get ahead.
但你总会回来
But you always return here.
这里比什麽地方都好
This part of the world is as good as any.
伊莎，你的履历一流
Well Elizabeth, your resume is very impressive.
没必要隐瞒，你会是我们的人才

I was born here in Los Angeles…
出生那天便被收养
and I was given up for adoption on the day of my birth.

我独居
I live alone.
从17岁开始
I have since I turned 17.
我没结过婚，亦没这打算
I’ve never been married, and I have no plans to marry.
我认为独♥立♥是最重要的
I value my independence above all things.
我不需达成别人的期望
That way I don’t have any expectations to fulfill…
除了我自己，这样已够好了
other than my own, which are great enough.
她只写了这些
That’s all she wrote.
我们结婚4年
We’ve been married for four years.
一开始已想生小孩
And we’ve been trying from the beginning.
但一直不成功
But we just haven’t been able to.
我们一直希望，在绝望中…
And we’ve been hoping, you know, against hope, as they say…
但始终没有如愿
but that just isn’t going to be.
我们已接受事实
And we’ve accepted that.
而且没怨命
And we’re not bitter.
我是说，我不认为…

没有，我们没有
No. No, we’re not.

So, we could be good parents, you know.
约瑟非常体贴，富于爱心
Joseph is a very tender man. He’s affectionate.
我们在瞬间会学会爱BB
And, we could learn to love a baby in a minute,
不是亲生也没关系
even if it wasn’t ours.
我们要为BB起名字吗？
Would we get to name the baby ourselves?
视乎情况
It depends on the circumstances.
有时亲生父母和养父母一起决定
Sometimes the biological parents and the adoptive parents agree on a name.
我们同意
We could agree to agree.
我们已准备好领养
Well, we’re ready now, to adopt.
血缘虽然重要
I mean, blood is important…
但最重要的还是相处时间
but it’s the time spent together that really matters.
是吗？
Isn’t that right?
噢，真要命 什麽事？
Oh my god. – What? What? What?
你为什麽不叫我收声？
Why didn’t you shut me up?
没问题，露茜
It’s alright, Lucy,
进她办公室的人也会紧张
everyone who goes to her office is nervous, okay?
说什麽相处最重要，怎爆出来的？
Gave that whole speech about time spent together. Where the hell did I get that?
我不知道 你为什麽不开口？
Baby, I have no idea. – Why didn’t you open your mouth?
露茜，不要试着…
Lucy don’t try…
你为什麽不发一言？
Why didn’t you say a word?
老婆，她喜欢你
