你在这儿
There you are.
我一直在找你
I’ve been looking for you.
你看见我另一只鞋了吗
Have you seen my other shoe?
恋恋书中人
怎么了
What?
怎么了
What?
你干嘛这么看着我
Why are you looking at me like that?
尿尿去
Go potty.
斯科蒂
Scotty.
快点 哥们 斯科蒂
Come on, boy. Scotty.
尿啊 斯科蒂
Go potty, Scotty.
别这么看着我
Don’t look at me like that.

妈妈说你上周约会来着 怎么样
Mom said you went on a date last week. How’d it go?
凑合
It was okay.
“凑合”是指上♥床♥了吗
“Okay” as in you got laid?
-哈利 -干嘛
– Harry. – What?
她听不见你说什么
She can’t hear you.
难道你下半辈子不想再做♥爱♥了吗
Don’t you wanna have sex, like, ever again in your life?
想啊 我只是觉得自己不适合约会
Yes. I just don’t think that I’m the dating type.
女孩们想和我上♥床♥
Girls only wanna sleep with me
只是因为她们高中时读过我的书
because they read my book in high school.
所以呢
So?
所以她们不是对我感兴趣
So they’re not interested in me.
而是对我的一些想法感兴趣
They’re interested in some idea of me.
所以你才要坚持锻炼
That’s why you should keep working out.
这样 她们就会往你身上扑了
That way, they’ll want you for your body.
练这个管什么用
what does this thing even do?
把你变得人见人爱
It turns you into a god.
继续练
Keep going.
我昨晚做了个怪梦
Hey, I had a weird dream last night.
梦见了个女孩
There was this girl and she was…
长什么样
What’d she look like?
就是个普通女孩 我想象出来的
Just a normal girl. Just a girl I made up.
好吧 她干什么了
Well, what happened?
她只是跟我说话
She just talked to me.
太没意思了
That’s depressing.
事实上 感觉很不错
Actually, it was really nice.
说真的 连梦里都没有姑娘跟你上♥床♥
Seriously? You don’t even get laid in your dreams? That’s,
这太悲哀了
That’s just sad.
那个 你的新书进展如何
Hey, how’s the new book coming along?
不知道 我有个新点子
I don’t know. I get a good idea,
我为什么不写写我的父亲
like why don’t I write about my dad?
可后来 我开始觉得
And then, bam, I start
这个主意太蠢了
thinking that it’s the stupidest thing ever.
谁想读什么
Who wants to read about,
“他对我失望”之类的
“He was disappointed in me, blah, blah, blah, blah”?
还有 我现在对斯科蒂是又爱又恨
Also, I’m feeling ambivalent about Scotty.
没错 他流口水 咬东西
Yeah, he slobbers. He chews things.
像个姑娘似的撒尿 这让我觉得别扭
He pees like a girl, which makes me feel inadequate.
他经常要出门放风
He needs to go outside a lot,
好好的一天全搅和了
breaks up my day.
所以我现在写不了
That’s why I’m not writing.
你觉得这是你现在写不出来的原因
Do you think that’s why you’re not writing?
-不是 -你为何觉得自己写不了
– No. – Why do you think you’re not writing?
能把波比给我吗
Can I have Bobby now?

卡尔文

No, no. Someone other than your brother.
你把波比给过你其他病人吗
Uh, have you been giving Bobby to your other patients?
没 波比是你的专属玩具
No, Bobby is just for you.
-他闻着有点怪 -卡尔文
– Because he smells weird. – Calvin,
你当初决定要斯科蒂时 我们怎么说的
when you were deciding to get Scotty, what did we talk about?
你当初希望怎样来着 还记得吗
what did you say your hopes were? Do you remember?
他会帮我邂逅他人
That he would help me meet people.
大点声 好吗
A little louder, please?
他会很棒 我们能一起爬山什么的
That he would be awesome and we’d take hikes and stuff.
然后有人驻足逗他 我就能认识他们了
And people would stop to pet him, and I would meet them.
可是别人想逗他玩时斯科蒂就害怕
But Scotty gets scared when people try to pet him.
这使你尴尬吗
Does that embarrass you?
-没 -我想给你留个书面作业
– No. – I wanna give you a writing assignment.
-我写不出来 -这样
– I can’t write. – Okay.
你专门为我写
This would just be for me.
我想让你写一篇文章
I’d like you to write a page,
描写那些见到流着口水还怕生的斯科蒂
about someone who sees Scotty all slobbery and scared,
却依旧喜欢他的人
and likes him anyway, just the way he is.
你看你能为我写这个吗
You think you could do that for me?
写得不好行吗
Can it be bad?
再不好我都喜欢
I’d like it to be very bad.
售罄

一个下巴上仍长青春痘的中学肄业青年
