你预言我会和一个表情冷峻的中年男子有感情纠葛
I would get involved with a craggy, middle-aged man
到现在为止 除了一个美好的夜晚
and so far, all that’s happened has been
其他什么也没发生
one many-splendored night.
我不认为这就叫感情纠葛
I don’t call that ‘getting involved.”‘
她说 别担心 会发生的

是个美好的夜晚 是不是 麦克斯

全国广播公♥司♥给1套5部的007系列影片的
NBC’s offering $3.25 mil per package
开价是325万
of five James Bond movies
我想我们第三轮可以用350万偷偷赢了他们
and I think I’m gonna steal them for $3.5 million with a third run.
我想把《毛♥泽♥东♥时间》插在8点档
And I’m gonna stick The Mao Tse-Tung Hour in at 8
因为我们很难把《毛♥泽♥东♥时间》卖♥♥出去
because we’re having a lot of trouble selling The Mao Tse-Tung Hour.
这个节目就好像肉中刺一样
That Mao Tse-Tung Hour’s turning into one big pain in the ass.
我们现在与联邦政♥府♥有很严重的法律上的矛盾
We’re having heavy legal problems with the federal government right now.

and they want it.
哈克特让他们滚
Hackett told the FBI to fuck off.
我们和新闻部一起做节目时
No, but we’re getting around the FBI
把中♥央♥情报局的人带得团团转

这儿真冷啊
Christ, it’s cold in here.
我们每周给”普世解♥放♥军♥” 那群傻子1万块钱
See, we’re paying these nuts from the Ecumenical Liberation Army
就为了从他们那里获得
$10,000 a week in order to turn in authentic film footage

of their revolutionary activities
这不构成”诱导犯罪”
and that can constitute inducement to commit a crime.

《毛♥泽♥东♥时间》也可以开始有它自己的时间档了
and The Mao Tse-Tung Hour can start carrying its own time slot.
现在唯一让我不知道怎么办的
What’s really bugging me now
就是我日间的节目安排
is my daytime programming.
全国广播公♥司♥有很多的游戏竞赛类节目
NBC’s got a lock on daytime
牢牢锁住了日间收视群
with their lousy game shows
我想打败他们
and I’d like to bust them.
我正在构思一部同性恋的肥皂剧 就叫《女同性恋者》
I’m thinking of doing a homosexual soap opera.

What do you think?

How long has it been going on?
一个月
A month.
我以为它会是一时的 一周就会忘掉
I thought it was a transient thing, blow over in a week.
我仍然向上帝祷告
And I still pray to God
祷告这只是因为更年期的昏头昏脑
it’s just a menopausal infatuation.
可是这真不是昏头昏脑 路易丝
But it is an infatuation, Louise.
我从没说过我不会再见她 因为我做不到
There’s no sense in my saying I won’t see her again, because I will.
你想让我离开这个家吗 去住宾馆
Do you want me to leave? Check into a hotel?
你爱她吗
Do you love her?
我不知道我到底是什么感觉

我能感到我是愉快的
I’m grateful I can feel anything.
我知道我对她很着迷
I know I’m obsessed with her.
那就说你爱她
Then say it.
不要一直跟我说你很着迷 你昏头昏脑
Don’t keep telling me that you’re obsessed, that you’re infatuated.
说你已经爱上她了
Say that you’re in love with her.
我已经爱上她了
I’m in love with her.
那请出去
Then get out!
去任何你想去的地方 去和她一起住 别再回来
Go anywhere you want. Go to a hotel, go live with her, but don’t come back.
因为我们花了25年的时间
Because after 25 years of building a home
建立和经营这个家
and raising a family and all the senseless pain
我们都曾带给彼此巨大的伤痛
that we have inflicted on each other, I’m damned if I’m gonna stand here
所以如果让我站在这里听你说
and have you tell me
你爱上了别人 我会下地狱的
you’re in love with somebody else.
是和你的秘书照老样子 过了一个周末

这就是你所谓的”冬日恋曲”吧
This is your great winter romance, isn’t it?
是你在退休前最后的激♥情♥释放吧
Your last roar of passion before you settle into your emeritus years.
这就是你留给我的 这就是我应该得的
Is that what’s left for me? Is that my share?
她得到了冬日的激♥情♥ 我得到的却是老糊涂
She gets the winter passion and I get the dotage.
我本来应该坐在家里织织毛衣
What am I supposed to do? Am I supposed to sit home knitting
等着你像某些后悔喝醉酒的人一样 偷偷溜进家门
and purling while you slink back like some penitent drunk?
我才是你老婆 他妈的
I’m your wife, damn it.
如果你和我有一段冬日激♥情♥的话
If you can’t work up a winter passion for me
至少这是受人尊重的 是忠诚的
the least I require is respect and allegiance.
我很受伤害 你明不明白
I hurt, don’t you understand that?
我受到了巨大的伤害
I hurt badly.
说句话啊你 看在老天的份儿上
Oh, say something, for God’s sake.
我没什么可说的
I’ve got nothing to say.
我不会这么容易就放手的
I won’t give you up easily, Max.
我想最好你搬出去
I think perhaps it is better if you move out.
她爱你吗
Does she love you, Max?
我不知道她有没有任何真正的情感
I’m not sure she’s capable of any real feelings.
她是看电视长大的一代
She’s television generation.
跟着兔八哥学习怎么生活
She learned life from Bugs Bunny.
她以为的现实就像电视里演的那样
The only reality she knows comes to her over the TV set.
她很仔细地给我们每个人都设计好了剧本
She’s very carefully devised a number of scenarios
让我们就像电影里那样 扮演自己的角色
for all of us to play, like the Movie of the Week.
我的天 看看我们
My God, look at us, Louise.
我们现在就在上演 受到冷落的妻子
Here we are going through the obligatory middle of Act 2
把犯了错误的丈夫赶出家门 这一幕的第二场戏
scorned-wife-throws peccant-husband-out scene.
但是别担心 我最后会回来的
But don’t worry, I’ll come back to you in the end.
她的剧本里我的情节是离开她 回到你身边
All of her plot outlines have me leaving her
因为抛弃美好家庭这种故事
