我的光头脑袋瓜还管用吗？
Do I have an original thought in my head? My bald head?
我的光头脑袋瓜还管用吗？
如果我能快乐一点 也许就不会掉头发
Maybe if I were happier, my hair wouldn't be falling out.
人生苦短 我得好好利用
Life is short. I need to make the most of it.
人生今日方开始
Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
我是个行尸走肉
I'm a walking cliché.
我得去看医生 检查我的腿
I really need to go to the doctor, have my leg checked.
我腿有毛病 长了瘤
There's something wrong. A bump.
牙医生也打电话来 我已经赖很久了
The dentist called again. I'm way overdue.
如果我不再推推脱脱 我会更快乐
If I stopped putting things off, I'd be happier.
All I do is sit on my fat ass.
肥屁股整天坐着 屁股要是不这么肥，我会更快乐
If my ass wasn't fat, I'd be happier.
这些衬衫的下摆 也不会老是塞不进去
I wouldn't have to wear these shirts with the tails out all the time.
不是盖的
Like that's fooling anyone.
肥屁股，我又该慢跑了 一天5英里
Fat ass. I should start jogging again. Five miles a day.
这回决不黄牛 甚至去攀岩
Really do it this time. Maybe rock climbing.
我要洗心革面
I need to turn my life around.
该怎么办？ 我需要恋爱
What do I need to do? I need to fall in love.
我要交个女友

多读点书，充实自己
I need to read more, improve myself.
学俄语好了，或者别的？
What if I learned Russian or something?
还是学一样乐器？ 或者学讲中文

那我就成了会说中文 又会吹双簧管的编剧
I would be the screenwriter who speaks Chinese. And plays the oboe.
那可神了 我要剪个短发
That would be cool. I should get my hair cut short.
不再自欺欺人 让人以为我不秃头
Stop trying to fool everyone into thinking I have a full head of hair.
真够可悲 真实点，拿出自信来
How pathetic is that? Just be real. Confident.
女人不就吃这套？
Isn't that what women are attracted to?
男人不必好看
Men don't have to be attractive.
但世风变了，尤其是最近
But that's not true, especially these days.
男人的压力已经不比女人少
Almost as much pressure on men as there is on women these days.
我为何要受迫害 认为自己没有存在价值？
Why should I be made to feel I have to apologize for my existence?
也许只是自己脑筋打结
Maybe it's my brain chemistry.
或许这正是我的问题所在 脑筋打结
Bad chemistry.
我的失落和焦虑 可以归结为脑筋不平衡…
All my problems and anxiety can be reduced to a chemical imbalance
或是某种神经原不来电
or some kind of misfiring synapses.
真该去看个医生
I need to get help for that.
但再看医生也是一样丑
But I'll still be ugly, though.
那是无救了的
Nothing's gonna change that.
闭嘴！
Shut up! Shut up! Okay?

大家全都听清楚了
I wanna be very well-heard on that from everybody.
别打混 除非剧情真的需要
Don't futz unless it's absolutely important to the shot, okay?
我不是说自己 我在说所有在场的人…
I don't say that for me. I say that for the people sitting here
- 谢谢你，约翰 - 穿着沉重橡皮的人
Thank you. In the rubber.
- 我喜欢我的洋装，行吗？ - 很好
- I like my dress. Okay? - Very good.
现在，各位 请听劝告

唐麦史密 首席助理导演

准备拍片
蓝斯亚可 放映师
Have her rotate around the table a little bit further.
让她在桌边转动 稍远一点
查理考夫曼 编剧
先等我们清场
Hold on until we're clear.
你，你挡住视线了 请你离开舞台好吗？
You. You're in the eyeline. Can you please get off the stage?
对，把6英尺的拿进来
Yeah, just bring in the six-footer.
我在干吗？ 今天根本不该来的
What am I doing here? Why did I bother to come here today?
根本没人认识我
Nobody even seems to know my name.
我已经在世上40年了 却还是啥都不懂
I've been on this planet for 40 years, and I don't understand a single thing.
为什么我在这里？ 我怎会在这里？
Why am I here? How did I get here?
加州好莱坞

我一定要止住流汗

她会看见我额头滴汗吗？
Can she see it dripping down my forehead?
她在观察我的发根 她认为我秃头- -
She looked at my hairline. She thinks I'm bald. She...

我们都爱死变脑的剧本了
We all just loved the Malkovich script.
- 多谢，多谢… - 见解很独到
Thanks. Thanks... Such a unique voice.
我真想到你的头脑里面看看
Boy, I'd love to find a portal into your brain.
相信我，一点也不好玩
Trust me, it's no fun. Heh, heh.
告诉我 你对这个疯狂计划的看法
So tell me your thoughts on this crazy little project of ours.
首先，这是本好书
First, I think it's a great book.
兰花贼 苏丝欧琳
Laroche is a fun character. Absolutely.
- 老许是个搞笑角色，对吧？ - 正确
而欧琳使得兰花更加迷人
And Orlean makes orchids so fascinating.
加上，她对佛州的冥想 和偷采兰花…
Plus, her musings on Florida and orchid poaching, Indians.
的印地安人，简直是 棒透的纽约客题材
It's just... It's great, sprawling New Yorker stuff.
我必须保持它的原有水准
I'd want to remain true to that.
我希望影片自己活起来 而不是…
I'd wanna let the movie exist,
rather than be artificially plot-driven.
- 硬梆梆的照本宣科 - 好啊
Great.
我也不明白这到底是啥意思
I guess I'm not exactly sure what that means.
Oh.
我也不清楚它的真正涵义
I'm not sure I know what that means either.
我只希望好莱坞的积习 不至于毁了它
I don't wanna ruin it by making it a Hollywood thing. You know?
变成一部 兰花争夺战之类的电影
Like an orchid heist movie or something, you know?
或把兰花偷换成罂粟花…
Or changing the orchids into poppies
而演变成毒品追逐战
and making it about drug running.
- 绝对正确 - 为什么就不能…
Definitely. Why can't there be a movie
纯粹拍一部花卉电影？
simply about flowers?
我想我们正是这个意思
I guess we thought that maybe
苏丝欧琳和老许 可以相恋，而且- -
Susan Orlean and Laroche could fall in love, and...
这么说吧，就好比 我不希望充斥着性欲…
Okay. But I'm saying, it's like, I don't wanna cram in sex
枪枝或飞车追逐…
or guns or car chases,
或是片中角色…
you know, or characters, you know,
洞悉了深邃的人生哲学
learning profound life lessons.
或成长 或相互接纳对方…
Or growing, or coming to like each other,
或突破万难 最后终于功成名立，我是说- -
or overcoming obstacles to succeed in the end, you know? I mean...
这本书不是这类故事…
The book isn't like that
真实人生也并非如此 事实如此，而且…
and life isn't like that. You know, it just isn't. And... Ahem.
我很坚持这个理念
I feel very strongly about this.
纽约客杂志 三年前
John Laroche is a tall guy, skinny as a stick,
约翰老许是个高个子 细长像竹竿…
眼光冷漠 双肩微垂…
pale-eyed, slouch-shouldered,
轮廓俊酷 虽然烂光了满口门牙
sharply handsome, despite the fact he's missing all his front teeth.
两年前我去佛州 替纽约客写一篇报导
I went to Florida two years ago to write a piece for The New Yorker.
那是在读到一篇一个白人 和三个印地安人的文章之后…
After reading a small article about a white man and three Seminole men
他们因为 偷盗稀有兰花而被捕…
arrested with rare orchids they'd stolen from a place
偷采自叫做法喀哈契浅滩 的州立保育区
called the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve.
佛州29号州公路 两年前
物竞天择之下每种物种 只有最优秀者得以生存…
As natural selection works solely by and for the good of each being,
这是达尔文说的
all corporeal and mental endowments will tend to progress towards perfection.
躯体和心智的天赋 会趋于演化到完美
思考理解千头万绪的知识 很有意思…
It's interesting to contemplate an entangled bank...
鬼兰
Polyrrhiza lindenii.
一个鬼魂
A ghost.
罗素，采下她
Cut her down, Russell.
法喀哈契浅滩 州立保育区
- 早 - 嗨
Morning. Hey.
可以请问各位 你们布袋里装的是啥？
May I ask you gentlemen what you have in those pillowcases?
当然可以问
Yes, sir, you absolutely may.
- 那就请说吧 - 好吧
Okay, then, I'm asking. Well, okay, then.
来瞧瞧
Let's see.
这里有5种凤梨科植物…
We've got five kinds of bromeliad,
一棵胡椒草 九株各色兰花
one peperomia, nine orchid varieties.
Uh...
你知道 总共有130种植物
You know, about 130 plants all told.
是我的同事们 采自这片沼泽
Which my colleagues here removed from the swamp.
你们明白从州有土地上 采摘或捕猎是违法的？
You're aware it's illegal to remove plants or animals from state-owned land?
是啊，而且不要忘记…
Yeah, and don't forget,
这些花草都是濒临绝种植物 每棵都不例外
these plants are all endangered, sir. Every one of them.
这正是问题重点所在 这里是州立保育区
Well, exactly. That's exactly the issue. This is a state preserve.
是的，长官
Yes, sir. It is.
- 但是- - - 我同事都是塞米诺印第安人
But... My colleagues are Seminole Indians.
我没有告诉你吗？ 你一定很清楚…
Did I mention that? You're familiar, I'm sure,
佛州控告詹姆比利的案子
with the State of Florida v. James E. Billie?
因此即使塞米诺酋长比利 猎杀了佛州黑豹…
So you know even though Seminole Chief Billie killed a Florida panther,
多少？全世界只剩40只吧？
one of, what, 40 in the entire world?
- 40只 - 40只
Forty. Forty.
州方也奈何不了他…
The state couldn't successfully prosecute him,
你知道吗，因为他是印地安人 他就有这个权利
because, you know, he's an Indian, and it's his right.
虽然你我白人保护主义者 极力反对他的行径
As repugnant as you and I, as white conservationists, find his actions.
- 可是- - - 更别提其他的失败尝试…
But... Not to mention the failed attempts
有3次企图起诉 塞米诺人采摘棕榈蕨
on three occasions to prosecute Seminoles for poaching palm fronds.
我猜他们是拿来铺设 传统鸡舍的屋顶
Which I believe they use to thatch the roofs of their traditional chickee huts.
你想想看？ 是鸡舍的屋顶，对吧？
How about that? With the chickee huts, right?
没错，我们正是用那造鸡舍的
Yeah, he's right. That's exactly what we use them for. Chickee huts.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
是，但我也不能- -
Yeah, but I don't...
我还不能放你们走
I can't let you fellas leave yet.
- 你们先别走喔 - 好啊
Just hold on there a minute. Okay?
查理，是你吗？
Charles, is that you?
你吃过午餐吗？
Did you eat lunch?
我吃了冰箱的虾肉沙拉 那是你的吗？
I had that shrimp cocktail in the fridge. Was it yours?
最好不是，我也忘了 于是我吃掉了
I hope not. I couldn't remember, so I ate it.
也许我们今后应该 写上名字
Maybe we should write our names on our food items from now on.
- 你怎么了？ - 背不舒服
What's with you? My back.
查理，你一定会很开心 我准备尽快搬出去
Charles, you'll be glad. I have a plan to get me out of your house, pronto.
- 工作才是计划，你找到工作吗？ - 听好了
A job is a plan. Is your plan a job? Drum roll, please.
我要成为编剧 和你一样
I'm gonna be a screenwriter. Like you.
你一定觉得 我又在做发财梦…
I know you think this is one of my "get rich quick" schemes,
但这次我很认真的
but I'm doing it right.
我参加了一个3日讲习 而且只要500大洋
I'm taking a three-day seminar, and it's only 500 bucks.
编剧讲习根本是狗屁
Screenwriting seminars are bullshit.
理论上我也同意 但这一个与众不同
In theory, I agree with you. But this one's different.
业界风评非常好
This one's highly regarded in the industry.
唐诺，不要跟我说『业界』
Donald, don't say "industry."
抱歉，我又忘了
I'm sorry. I forgot.
查理，这家伙真的懂编剧
Charles, this guy knows screenwriting.
大家远道而来 向他学艺
People come from all over to study with him.
- 我会尽快还你钱- - - 我告诉你说
I'll pay you back as soon as I... Let me explain something.
任何人说他有『秘方』 都是想要引人上勾…
Anybody who says he's got "the answer" will attract desperate people,
请你实际一点- -
be it in the world of religion...
让我躺着听你解释
I need to lie down while you explain this.
抱歉，我道歉
Sorry. I apologize.
请继续吧
Okay, go ahead.
- 所以- - - 对不起，请说
So... Sorry. Okay. Go.
并没有什么规则可循
There are no rules, Donald.
如果有人硬要说有 纯粹是在- -
And anybody who says there are is just, you know...
不是规则，是原则
Not rules. Principles.
马契写道，规则只是 『你必须要这样做』
McKee writes that a rule says, "You must do it this way."
原则是『长久以来 已经证实有效的方法』
A principle says, "This works and has through all remembered time."
我要着手的剧本 是关于花卉
The script I'm starting,
it's about flowers. Oh.
还不曾有人写过花卉的电影
Nobody's ever done a movie about flowers before.
- 因此没有范例可循 - 艾吉浓之花算不算？
So there are no guidelines. What about Flowers for Algernon?
哎呀，那写的不是花 也不是电影
Well, that's not about flowers. And it's not a movie.
抱歉，我也没看过
I'm sorry. I never saw it.
如何--？好吧，请继续
How...? Okay, keep going.
我只是要说 那些老师很危险…
Look, my point is that those teachers are dangerous
如果你是想要 尝试新鲜点子
if your goal is to do something new.
作家应该都有这种目标 写作是对未知世界的探索
A writer should always have that goal. Writing is a journey into the unknown.
这和打造模型飞机不同
It's not building, you know, one of your model airplanes.
马契是前任傅布莱奖学者 查理
McKee is a former Fulbright Scholar, Charles.
你也是个傅布莱奖学者吗？
Are you a former Fulbright Scholar?
开口说话呀，带她出来 竟不敢和她说话
Say something. I dragged her here, and now I'm not saying anything.
让她发笑 说些笑话
Make her laugh. Say something funny.
我讨厌派对，艾咪 我们干嘛来这里？
I hate parties, Amelia. Why did we come here?
因为我们时髦、是潮流引领者 对吧？
Because we're hip, young trendsetters on the make?
倒像是满地失败的痞子
More like old losers sitting on the floor, maybe.
天哪，查理，那是你吧…
Jesus, Charlie.
Heh, heh, heh. Speak for yourself. Okay...
查理，我们想给你做媒
Charlie, we're gonna fix you up.
我们要彻底解决 查理考夫曼乱象
We're gonna solve the whole Charlie Kaufman mess for once and for all.
- 好 - 让我瞧瞧
Okay. Okay, let me see.
你需要什么 什么，什么？
What do you need? What, what, what?
我很高兴你写了兰花剧本
Well, I'm glad you took the orchid script.
我想它能帮助厘清你的思路
I think it will be good for you to get out of your head.
能够定下心来 想一些大自然的事情
It'll ground you to think about the bigger picture, about nature and stuff.
我仍然不敢相信 他们录用了我
I still can't believe they gave me that job.
那顿午餐吃得我满头大汗
I mean, after that lunch. I was sweating insanely.
我简直口无伦次一塌糊涂
I was ranting. I was a mess.
你太紧张 因为她太漂亮
You were nervous because she was pretty.
你怎么知道她很漂亮？
How do you know she was pretty?
和你认识了8个月 我很了解你流汗的原因
After eight months of knowing you, I think I get what makes you sweat.
哎呀，管它的 你赶快继续说
Well, whatever. Well, moving on, what next?
你需要新行头 这套法兰绒衬衫…
You need a new getup. This whole flannel-shirt thing,
实在不怎么样
it's not really doing anything for you anymore.
谢谢你今晚跟我出来 艾咪
Thanks for coming out with me tonight, Amelia.
起头
To begin.
起头
To begin.
该怎么开始？
How to start?
我饿了
I'm hungry.
我需要喝咖啡
I should get coffee.
咖啡可以帮助我思考
Coffee would help me think.
但我应该先写出一些成果 然后才喝咖啡犒赏自己
But I should write something first, then reward myself with coffee.
咖啡和松糕 我需要建立主题大纲
Coffee and a muffin. Okay, so I need to establish the themes.
香蕉核桃好了
Maybe banana-nut.
松糕很不错
That's a good muffin.
采摘野兰花是要命的工作
Orchid hunting is a mortal occupation.
委内瑞拉欧林诺克河 100年以前
Victorian-era orchid hunter William Arnold
维多利亚时代兰花采摘 威廉阿诺…
在一次采摘探险中溺死了
drowned on a collecting expedition.
金纳巴鲁波尼尔
Osmers vanished without a trace in Asia.
欧斯莫 在亚洲消失得无影无踪
中国西双版纳
存活的奥古斯都马奎利 染患牙痛风湿胸膜炎和痢疾…
Augustus Margary survived toothache, rheumatism, pleurisy and dysentery,
却在任务完成…
only to be murdered when he completed his mission
到达巴哈莫时被人谋杀
and traveled beyond Bhamo.
老许钟爱兰花，但是…
Laroche loved orchids, but I...
我比较倾向 他对冒险犯难的热爱…
I came to believe he loved the difficulty and fatality of getting them
几乎和喜爱兰花相当
almost as much as he loved the orchids themselves.
我成为园艺专家已经12年了
I've been a professional horticulturist for like 12 years.
佛罗里达迈阿密 6个月后
Uh, I owned my own plant nursery, which was destroyed by the hurricane.
我自己拥有的苗圃 被飓风吹垮了
我现在是植物学专业讲师
I'm a professional plant lecturer.
我发表过60多篇 有关培养植物的专题演讲
I've given over, like, 60 lectures on the cultivation of plants.
我的论文刊登在杂志上 我也出书
I'm a published author, both in magazine and book form.
我对兰花已经了若指掌…
And I have extensive experience with orchids
包括无菌状态的 试管无性繁殖
and the asexual micropropagation of orchids under aseptic cultures.
那是实验室的工作 和你的苗圃完全不一样
That's laboratory work. It's not at all like your nursery work.
Um...
我简直是天资异秉无人可及
I'm probably the smartest person I know.
- 谢谢你 - 甭客气
Thank you. You're very welcome.
是老许吗？ 我是苏丝欧琳
Mr. Laroche? I'm Susan Orlean.
我替纽约客杂志写文章 那是一本- -
I'm a writer for The New Yorker. It's a magazine that...
纽约客我还知道
I'm familiar with The New Yorker.
纽约客吗？ 对呀，纽约客嘛
"The New Yorker? Yes, The New Yorker." Right?
可不是
That's right.
我想写一篇文章 报导你的遭遇- -
I'm very interested in doing a piece on your situation here, and...
是吗？是
Oh, yeah? Yeah. You wanna put this in?
你要不要写上这个？
我才不在乎他们要怎么判
I don't care what goes on here.
我没有错 就算到最高法院也是一样
I'm right, and I'll take it all the way to Supreme Court.
我才不管法官要怎么恶搞
Because that judge can screw herself.
- 这些话会照实写吗？ - 当然
That for real would go in? Absolutely.
Hmm.
我们从29号公路开场
We open on State Road 29.
一辆破烂白色旅行车 飞会开过来，向右急转…
A battered white van speeds along, making a sharp, skidding right
来到法喀哈契浅滩 州立保育区
into the Fakahatchee Strand State Preserve.
开车的是个没有门牙的瘦子
The driver of the van is a skinny man with no front teeth.
他就是老许
This is John Laroche.
我要休息一下
I need a break.
- 我喜欢西比流士小提琴协奏曲 - 我也喜欢，非常好听
I loved the Sibelius violin concerto. Yeah, me too. It was great.
- 结尾有些诡异，但是- - - 哎呀，不是啦，那是热情
The end was a little weird, but... Oh, no! God, it was passionate.
一种狂喜的心情
It was exultant.
独奏部分棒极了 曲调优美精确无比
The soloist was amazing. Such beautiful tones. So precise.
天哪，简直令我疯狂
God, it blows my mind.
- 真希望我也能拉得那么好 - 你跟他一样好
I wish I could play like that. You do.
Oh, Charlie. I don't. I'm mediocre at best.
查理我没有那么好 不过是个泛泛之辈
至少我喜欢听你演奏
Well, I love listening to you play.
谢谢你，查理
Oh, thanks, Charlie.
到家啦
Here we are.
So, uh...
接下来呢？
What are you up to now, then?
Oh, um, I should probably get to bed.
我该睡了 明天早上还有很多工作
I have a lot of work to do tomorrow.
好吧，那就再见了
Well, good night, then.
我很想晚点回去
I would stay out.
实在是我的剧本 让我伤透脑筋
It's just that I've been struggling on the script right now.
我觉得好像太单薄 如果只是写一个老许的故事
Been thinking about it too small, writing it like a story about Laroche.
我是说，好像不够充实 我是要写花卉
That's not enough. I mean, I wanted to write about flowers.
总之，我想不出来 所以我最近睡不好…
Anyway, I can't figure it out, and I haven't been sleeping well lately,
我想我应该回家…
so I thought I should get home
好好的睡一觉 这样早上才有精神
and try to get a good night's sleep, you know. Start fresh in the morning.
Hm. Otherwise, I'd stay out.
不然，我可以不回去
我了解，我希望你理出头绪 查理，真的
I understand. I hope you figure it out, Charlie. I really do.
谢了，总之谢谢你跟我出来
Thanks. Thanks for coming out with me and everything.
不用客气，我玩得很开心
Sure, it was fun.
下周末我要去圣巴巴拉 有一场兰花大展
So I have to go to Santa Barbara next weekend for this orchid show up there.
希望你也一起去
I thought maybe you could come.
不了，我…
No, I...
下周末可能没空
I don't think I can make it next weekend.
应该不行
I don't think I can.
我另外有事，抱歉
I've got something. Sorry.
好吧
Okay.
好吧，那就只好算了 再见了
So, well, okay, then. So good night, then.
再见，查理
Good night, Charlie.
为什么不进去？ 我真窝囊
- Why didn't I go in? - I'm such a chicken.
我白痴，我应该吻她 我搞砸了
I'm such an idiot. I should have kissed her. I've blown it.
赶快再去敲门 然后吻她
I should go and knock on her door right now and kiss her.
一定很罗曼蒂克 老了还可以和子孙吹嘘
It would be romantic. Something we could someday tell our kids.
我要立刻这样去做
I'm gonna do that right now.
3年前，佛罗里达
Hi. Hey.
- 谢谢你来接我 - 这辆车很破
Thanks for picking me up. This van's a piece of shit.
只要让我中了刮刮乐 我会买一部拉风好车
But when I hit the jackpot, I'll buy myself an awesome car.
你开的是什么车？
Hey, what are you driving?
Um, it's... Well, it's a rental.
那是--租来的
- 是一部鲁米那 - 好车
It's a Lumina. Awesome.
我也要买一部那种车
I think I'll get one of those too.
出发了
Here we go.
瞧瞧这些驾驶的德性 是吧
Where do these people learn to drive, huh? Ha, ha!
全世界都疯了
The world's insane.
我对你在园艺方面…
So I was impressed to hear
的成就印象深刻
how accomplished you are in horticulture.
你必须要知道…
The thing you gotta know is,
我一生都千方百计 想要发财？
my whole life is looking for a goddamn profitable plant, see?
我看中了鬼兰
And that's the ghost.
为什么要选鬼兰？
Why the ghost orchid?
一堆烂货 车里有怪味
Well, the sucker's rare.
因为她很稀有
You know? Mm-hm.
我是全世界 唯一懂得培养鬼兰的人
And I'm the only one in the world who knows how to cultivate it.
Mmm.
重点是要请印地安人 从沼泽地区采摘
See, the idea was, get the Indians to pull it from the swamp.
我研究过，只要我们不碰她 佛罗里达州就不能碰我们
I researched it. Long as I don't touch the plant, Florida can't touch us.
我以后不用偷摘 店里就可以现成卖花
And I stop future poaching by making the flowers readily available in stores.
我成了英雄，花也得救了…
I'm a hero, the flowers are saved,
老许和大自然都胜利了
Laroche and nature win.
美丽的幻象
Oh. Great.
棒极了
你写下来了吗？
Did you get that last part?
Uh, yeah, I sure did.
写下来了
兰花是世界上最性感的花
Orchids are the sexiest flowers on earth.
兰花的英文是从 拉丁文orchis来的
The name orchid derives from the Latin orchis, which means testicle.
嗨，查理
Hey, Charles.
我把剧本丢给妈看
I pitched my screenplay to Mom.
不要说丢给
Don't say "pitch." Sorry.
抱歉，总之她说…
Anyway, she said it was Silence of the Lambs meets Psycho.
那是沈默的羔羊遇上 变态杀人狂
你们俩也应该合作 听说妈的构局很神
Maybe you guys could collaborate. I hear Mom's good with structure.
艾咪为什么都不来了？
So how come Amelia doesn't come around anymore?
你是不是玩弄了人家？
Did you put the moves on her or something?
塞米诺 苗圃
Hi.
我找老许
I'm looking for John Laroche.
Hi. Hi.
我在写一篇老许的文章 想来看他
I'm writing an article on John, and I stopped by.
- 希望能够看到他 - 约翰不在
Hoped I could see him. John's not here.
Oh.
你跟他去过沼泽地 对不对？
Well, you were at the swamp with him, weren't you?
Saw you at the courthouse, that's how I know.
我在法院见过你 我认得你
我是马丘奥修拉
I'm Matthew Osceola.
苏丝欧琳，幸会
Susan Orlean. Nice to meet you.
也许我可以跟你谈
Maybe I could talk to you for a second.
我只是想找一些灵感…
I'm just trying to get a feel for the whole operation...
你的头发很美
You have very beautiful hair.
谢谢你这么说
Thank you very much.
我才刚…
Thank you. I just...
今早刚洗过头
I just washed it this morning.
我用了润丝精
I just used a new conditioner.
我能感受你的哀伤
I can see your sadness.
真可爱
It's lovely.
哎呀，我只是累了 我就是这个毛病
Well, I'm just tired, that's all. That's my problem.
我们可不可以谈一会…
So maybe we could chat a little bit,
- 让我收集一些资料- - - 我跟你没有什么好谈
and I could get some background... I'm not going to talk to you much.
不是对你个人
It's not personal.
是我们印地安人的习惯
It's the Indian way.
火箭兰
Angraecum sesquipedale.
美呆了
Beauty! God!
达尔文描写过这一种
Darwin wrote about this one.
查尔斯达尔文？写进化论的家伙？ 记得吗？
Charles Darwin? Evolution guy? Hello?
看那一路垂下的蜜腺
You see that nectary down there?
达尔文推论…
Darwin hypothesized a moth
有一种12英吋鼻管的蛾 来替她授花粉
with a nose 12 inches long to pollinate it.
每个人都骂他神经
Everyone thought he was a loon.
当然，后来真的着找到了 12英吋鼻管的和蛾
Then, sure enough, they found this moth
with a 12-inch proboscis.
- “Proboscis”是鼻管的意思 - 我知道这个字的意思
"Proboscis" means nose, by the way. I know what it means.
我们不要偏离主题 又不是气死人比赛
Hey, let's not get off the subject. This isn't a pissing contest.
重点是 她奇妙之处…
The point is, what's so wonderful
是每一种花 都和特定昆虫…
is that all these flowers have a specific relationship
有一定的关联才能传宗接代
with the insect that pollinates it.
有些兰花 看起来就像昆虫
There's a certain orchid looks exactly like a certain insect.
于是昆虫被吸引过来…
So the insect is drawn to this flower,
像是分身，像是神交…
its double, its soul mate,
除了亲热 什么都不想做
and wants nothing more than to make love to it.
等到虫子飞走…
After the insect flies off,
又去盯上另一个神交伴侣 和她亲热，替她授粉
it spots another soul-mate flower and makes love to it, pollinating it.
但是花和昆虫 谁也不会了解…
And neither the flower nor the insect will ever understand
它们亲热的真正意义
the significance of their lovemaking.
它们哪里想得到，小小的振动 使世界有了生命？
How could they know that because of their little dance, the world lives?
但事实就是如此
But it does.
只要照着天赋去做…
By simply doing what they're designed to do
背后却有奇妙的意义存在
something large and magnificent happens.
依这种角度来看 它们是在教导我们如何生活
In this sense, they show us how to live.
说明心情才是 唯一的晴雨指标
How the only barometer you have is your heart.
只要找到你的正确目标 别让任何事情阻碍你
How when you spot your flower, you can't let anything get in your way.
他真有个性 门牙没有了
He's really quite a character. No front teeth.
- 好像一点都不在乎 - 为什么不去镶假牙呢？
Doesn't seem to bother him at all. Why doesn't he get them fixed?
简直孤傲不群 竟让每个人看到他的缺牙
It seems almost sociopathic to make everybody look at that.
是啊，但他的嘴上功夫 真是了得呢，宝贝
Yeah, but he gives a great blowjob, honey.
其实他蛮迷人的
He is a fascinating character, though.
听起来像金矿呢，苏丝
Sounds like a gold mine, Sue.
未尝不可，可说不定呢 他…
It could be. I don't know, you know? He's, uh...
他跟他爸爸住 迷恋他亡母，而且…
He lives with his dad, he's obsessed with his dead mother, and...
老是把墨镜挂在脖子上
He wears his sunglasses on a little dingle-dangle around his neck.
爱得要死
Loving it.
- 说说他的车子 - 好啦，车子
Tell them about the van. Okay, the van. The van.
- 我现在不能说，我要去尿尿 - 不要，快说他的车子
I can't tell about the van. I gotta pee. No, tell us about the van.
- 简直妙极了，那是… - 里面有什么？
- It's amazing. It's... - What's in it?
- 你们在车里做爱 - 闭嘴
You did it in the van.
Shut up.
大卫你来说- - 你不准说，不可以说
David, you tell... Don't you tell them. Don't tell them.
好吧，关于车子
Okay, the van.
大卫
David!
车子里面都是垃圾- -
This van was filled with junk...
闭嘴！
Shut up!
一罐罐泥土，铲子 食物包装纸，肥料
- Potting soil. Shovels. - Food wrappers. Fertilizer.
至少苏丝说 她宁可称它们是肥料
Susie said she hoped it was fertilizer, anyway.
其实她也不确定 老许也有他温馨的一面
Said she couldn't be sure. Laroche had a certain aromatic look about him.
据她说- -
And she said...
也许他的着迷程度 使他吃喝拉撒睡…
She said perhaps his obsessiveness didn't leave room in his schedule
都在车上解决
for personal hygiene.
也许兰花能供应 足够的水分
Maybe the orchids got all the available water.
我希望像人们喜爱兰花一样 的渴望一项事物
I wanted to want something as much as people wanted these plants.
但…
But...
我的个性不是这样
it isn't part of my constitution.
我确实也有一桩 不怕被人讪笑的热情
I suppose I do have one unembarrassed passion.
我希望能亲身体会 付出全副心神热爱某事的感觉
I wanna know what it feels like to care about something passionately.
"谁要是有幸见到鬼兰…
"Should one be lucky enough to see a ghost orchid,
其他花卉就会黯然失色
all else will seem eclipsed."
如果鬼兰真是幽灵…
If the ghost orchid was really a phantom,
也是令人神魂颠倒的幽魂 引诱人们无止境的追寻…
it was such a bewitching one that it could seduce people to pursue it
年复一年 忘却征途辛劳
year after year and mile after miserable mile.
如果真有这种花 我一定要亲眼看看
If it was a real flower, I wanted to see one.
不是为了我爱兰花 我甚至根本不喜欢兰花
The reason wasn't that I love orchids. I don't even especially like orchids.
我只是希望亲眼目赌…
What I wanted was to see this thing
人们更会被吸引迷恋 到如此强烈的钟情地步
that people were drawn to in such a singular and powerful way.
那你总共收集了多少乌龟？
So how many turtles did you end up collecting?
我很快就没兴趣了
Oh, I lost interest right after that.
Oh.
自从我爱上冰河时期的化石 我就放弃了乌龟
I dropped turtles when I fell in love with Ice Age fossils.
没命的收集化石
Collected the shit out of them.
化石成为这个烂世界上 唯一有意义的东西
Fossils were the only thing that made sense to me in this fucked-up world.
我又放弃了化石 转向修复旧镜面水银
I ditched fossils for resilvering old mirrors.
我妈和我收集了一大堆…
My mom and I had the largest collection
19世纪荷兰镜子
of 19th-century Dutch mirrors on the planet.
你可能读过有关的报导 镜子世界，1988年10月？
Perhaps you read about us. Mirror World, October '88?
我还留了一份拷贝
I got a copy here somewhere.
我祇是想知道 你是如何割舍…
I guess I'd just like to know how you can detach from something
一件曾经投注全部心神的嗜好
that you've invested so much of your soul in.
我是说，你从不怀念乌龟吗？
I mean, didn't you ever miss turtles?
那件在你10岁的时候 支持你活下去的东西？
The only thing that made your 10-year-old life worth living?
我告诉你一个故事好了？
Look, I'll tell you a story, all right?
我曾经死心塌地 的爱上热带鱼
I once fell deeply, you know, profoundly in love with tropical fish.
我家里有60座金鱼缸
I had 60 goddamn fish tanks in my house.
我会去浮潜寻找喜爱的品种
I'd skin-dive to find just the right ones.
猪鱼，皇后天使鱼 四眼蝴蝶鱼
Anisotremus virginicus, Holacanthus ciliaris, Chaetodon capistratus.
应有尽有
You name it.
然后有一天我说『去他的鱼』
Then one day I say, "Fuck fish."
我摒弃了鱼 发誓不再涉足海洋
I renounce fish. I vow never to set foot in that ocean again.
全然把鱼否定
That's how much "fuck fish."
那是17年前的事 我再也没有碰过海
That was 17 years ago, and I have never since stuck a toe in that ocean.
但我是爱海的
And I love the ocean.
什么道理呢？
But why?
跟鱼了结了
Done with fish.
如果你真正喜欢某件事 难道不会有一丝丝怀念吗？
If you'd really loved something, wouldn't a little bit of it linger?
显然老许的了结 都是干净彻底
Evidently Laroche's finishes were downright and absolute.
头也不回一下
He just moved on.
有时 我也希望有这种能耐
I sometimes wished I could do the same.
午安 你想吃什么？
Good afternoon. So, what looks good today?
给我莱姆派
The key lime pie, please.
一小块就好
A small slice.
还有1杯咖啡 请加脱脂奶水
And a coffee, please. Skim milk, please.
兰花，我喜欢兰花
Orchids. I love orchids.
正点，这是…
Oh, cool. That's... Heh.
你的派马上就来
Well, I'll be right back with your pie.
我好兴奋 我一向希望参观兰花大展
I'm so excited. I've always wanted to come to an orchid show.
我觉得这些花好性感
I think these flowers are so sexy.
我们到后面去瞧瞧
Let's see what's around back.
什么？
What?
- 要不要听听我的卖点？ - 走开，讨厌
You wanna hear my pitch? Go away, goddamn it.
我祇是想找些事情做
You know, I'm just trying to do something.
谢了，伙伴，正点
Hey, thanks a lot, buddy. Cool.
有一个连续杀人犯，知道吗？
Okay, there's this serial killer, right?
等一下 警察要捉拿他
Well, no, wait. And he's being hunted by a cop.
而他却捉弄警察 透露下一次作案的线索
And he's taunting the cop, right? Sending clues who his next victim is.
他已经抓了一个人质
He's already holding her hostage in his basement.
使得警察抓了狂 拼命想要找出人质的身份…
So the cop gets obsessed with figuring out her identity
却在过程当中爱上了她
and in the process falls in love with her.
虽然从来没有见过她 却好像成了…
Even though he's never even met her. She becomes like...
渴望得到的东西 就像圣杯
Like the unattainable. Like the Holy Grail.
- 这样不会太明显吗？ - 好吧，但是关键是这样的
It's a little obvious, don't you think?
Okay, but here's the twist.
我们发现杀人犯…
We find out that the killer
其实是罹患了 多重人格分裂症
really suffers from multiple personality disorder. Right?
其实杀人犯就是那个警察 也是那个女孩
See, he's actually really the cop and the girl.
所有的人都是他 是不是天下大乱了？
All of them are him. Isn't that fucked up?
多重人格和连续杀人犯 虽然都是老掉牙的题材
The only idea more overused than serial killers is multiple personality.
但我们可以藉此铺陈…
On top of that, you explore the notion
警察和杀人犯 其实是一个人的两面
that cop and criminal are two aspects of the same person.
警察电影中 常看到这类的例子
See every cop movie ever made for other examples of this.
妈称之为心理上的错乱
Mom called it psychologically taut.
你有没有考虑过 根本无法写得出来？
The other thing is, there's no way to write this. Did you consider that?
你看，这么可能有人 被囚禁在地下室…
I mean, how could you have somebody held prisoner in a basement
同时又能在警局上班？
and working in a police station at the same time?
- 用摄影技巧 - 我不是问这个
Trick photography. Okay, that's not what I'm asking.
听仔细了 我要问的是
Listen closely. What I'm asking is:
这部电影当中 实际上只有一个角色对吗？
In the reality of this movie, where there's only one character, right?
对吗？
Okay?
你怎么可能…？
How could you?
为什么可以…？
What exactly would?
我同意妈的说法，非常错乱
I agree with Mom. Very taut.
千面女碰上… 剃刀边缘
Sybil meets, I don't know... Dressed to Kill.
真的，我很喜欢剃刀边缘
Cool. I really liked Dressed to Kill.
- 直到第3幕收场 - 不是这样发音
Until the third act denouement. That's not how it's pronounced.
抱歉，我- - 好吧，对不起
Sorry. I... Okay, sorry.
Hi. Hey.
- 又要来一点莱姆派吗？ - 可以，我喜欢
Some key lime pie for you today? Okay, yeah. That sounds great.
我会切一块大一点的 特别优待
I'll cut you an extra-large slice. Preferred customer.
- 谢谢你，你真好 - 我是个甜姊儿，对吗？
Thank you. That's really sweet of you.
Well, I'm just a sweetie, ain't I?
- 你还有在研究兰花把？ - 是的，我有
Still reading about orchids, I hope? Yes, I am.
我有一个朋友 有1棵小小的粉红色的…
This friend of mine has this little, tiny pink one
就像这样长在树枝上
that grows on a tree branch just like that.
- 我想不起名字- - - 这叫做附生
I can't remember... It's called an epiphyte.
对，对！
Right. Right!
你真不是盖的
Boy, you know your stuff.
没有啦，我正在学
No, not really. I'm just learning.
附生植物长在树上 但他们不是寄生
Epiphytes grow on trees, but they're not parasites.
他们的养分来自空气和雨水
They get their nourishment from the air and the rain.
真是令我大开眼界
Well, I'm impressed. That's great.
世上共有3万种兰花
There are more than 30,000 kinds of orchids in the world.
- 喔，可真多耶？ - 是啊
Wow, that's a lot, huh? Yeah. Yeah.
对
Yeah.
我马上就送大片莱姆派 给我的兰花专家
I'll be back with an extra-large slice of key lime pie for my orchid expert.
不过，我是在想…
But... So anyway, I was also wondering...
这个周末我要到圣芭芭拉 去看兰花大展，我…
I'm going up to Santa Barbara this Saturday for an orchid show, and I...
Oh.
- 对不起 - 这个…
I'm sorry. Well, um...
- 我道歉，我不该 - 你的派马上就来
I apologize. I'm sorry. So I'll just be right back with your pie.
已知的兰花超过三万种
There are more than 30,000 known orchid species.
有的像乌龟
One looks like a turtle.
有的像猴子
One looks like a monkey.
有的像洋葱
One looks like an onion.
有的像老师
One looks like a schoolteacher.
有的像是体操选手
One looks like a gymnast.
有的像高中时候 皮肤细嫩的女同学
One looks like that girl in high school with creamy skin.
有的像纽约的知识份子…
One looks like a New York intellectual
礼拜天在床上 玩纽约时报字谜游戏
with whom you do the Sunday Times crossword puzzle in bed.
有的像中西部选美皇后
One looks like a Midwestern beauty queen.
也有像艾咪的
One looks like Amelia.
有的眼睛神采飞扬
One has eyes that dance.
有的眼光中带着哀伤
One has eyes that contain the sadness of the world.
于是我结婚了 我和我的美丽太太…
So I got married, and me and my beautiful new wife,
现在是前妻，那个婊子…
my now ex-wife, the bitch,
开了一间苗圃
opened up a nursery.
人们开始问我问题…
People started coming out of the woodwork to ask me stuff
欣赏我种的花 也欣赏我
and admire my plants and admire me.
我觉得有的人根本是因为寂寞 来找我做伴
I think people were spending time with me because they were lonely.
♪ Couldn't drag me away ♪
你知道我为什么喜欢植物？
And you know why I like plants? Huh-uh.
♪ Wild, wild horses ♪
因为它们随遇而安
Because they're so mutable.
能适应各种环境变迁
Adaptation's a profound process.
这意味着…
It means you
必须要设法求生存
figure out how to thrive in the world.
对，但对植物比较容易 我是说…
Yeah, but it's easier for plants. I mean, they have no memory.
它们没有记忆
它们过一天算一天 但人类，如今…
You know, they just move on to whatever's next. But a person, now...
适应环境几乎变成可耻 我是说，就好像…
adapting's almost shameful. I mean, it's like
逃避
running away.
♪ No sweeping... ♪ ♪
基诺！
Keener!
嗨，老兄
Hey, man.
不要勾搭工作人员，唐诺
Please don't hit on crew members, Donald.
什么，那个化妆师吗？ 是她来勾引我，老哥
What, the makeup girl? She was hitting on me, bro. Heh, heh, heh.
别丢我的脸 我必须和他们共事
Don't embarrass me. I have to work with these people.
不会啦，我跟你说…
I won't. Anyway, listen,
我一直想问你 我需要一个杀人的好点子
I meant to ask you, I need a cool way to kill people.
别担心，我要写剧本
Don't worry. For my script.
我不写那种东西
I don't write that kind of stuff.
拜托啦 你比较天才嘛
Come on, man, please? You're the genius.
这样吧 凶手是个文学教授
The killer's a literature professor.
他把受害者肢解成小块小块
He cuts off little chunks from his victim's bodies until they die.
他自称为『碎刀使者』
He calls himself "The Deconstructionist."
- 这点子不错，我喜欢 - 我是开玩笑的，唐诺
That's kind of good. I like that. See, I was kidding, Donald.
是喔，对不起
Oh, okay. Sorry.
你唬到我了
You got me. Heh, heh.
我要用的话，你不反对吧？
Do you mind if I use it, though?
- 其实很不错 - 我本来想把凯西的一幕…
It's really good. I tried to split the Cassie scene
- 从头到尾分成两半 - 我看到了，为什么要这样呢？
from the beginning to the end. I saw that. Why did you do that?
我要让气氛紧张起来 然后再会合起来…
Because I wanted there to be more tension. Then you pick it up later...
- 你改写了…？ - 营造紧张气氛
- But are you changing? - Keeps more tension.
这样观众一开始 就被上紧发条
That way the audience gets stuck early on.
- 你喜欢吗？ - 我喜欢
- You like it? - I really like it.
♪ Oh, it's so funny to be seeing you After so long, girl ♪
♪ The way you look... ♪
Heh. You look hot tonight, baby.
你今晚好诱人，宝贝
谢了，唐诺 你嘴真甜
Thanks, Donald. That's swell of you to say.
- 她是不是很诱人，老哥？ - 我要回家了，唐诺
Don't you think she's hot, bro? I'm heading home, Donald.
是吗？别扫兴
Really? Come on.
嘿，艾咪来了
Hey, it's Amelia.
嗨，艾咪！
Hey, Amelia!
嗨，唐诺 嗨，查理
Hey, Donald. Hey, Charlie.
Hey. Hi there.
- 嗨，两位 - 艾咪，好久没看到你了
- Amelia, we don't see you anymore. - What happened to you?
- 很高兴看到你 - 这位是我女朋友，凯莲
It's good to see you.
Oh! This is my girlfriend, Caroline. She's a makeup artist for the movies.
- 她是电影化妆师 - 嗨
Hi.
嗨
这位是大卫，我朋友
This is David, my friend.
- 嗨 - 嘿，幸会
Hi. Hey. Nice to meet you.
- 艾咪常跟我提起你 - 嗨，我是唐诺
- Amelia's talked a lot about you. - Hi, I'm Donald.
- 嘿 - 凯莲
- Hey. - Caroline.
- 相机很酷 - 近来好吗？
Cool camera. So how are you?
- 你知道的，一塌糊涂 - 查理…
You know me, a mess. Oh, Charlie,
真的很高兴看到你 工作顺利吗？
it's really good to see you. Is the work good?
一塌糊涂 我不知道我在做什么
It's a disaster. I don't know what I'm doing.
总之，那是我自己的问题 别让我扫你的兴
But, anyway, it's my problem. I don't want to bore you.
你有你自己的事情 我是说，我们各自有各自的事情
You have your stuff, right? I mean, we both have our own separate stuff.
总之，我得回去了 我正要回家工作
Anyway, I should go. I was heading home to do some work.
- 你走不走？ - 不了，今晚我睡凯莲家
You coming? No, I'm gonna stay at Caroline's.
在树丛里推呀推呀推
A little push, push in the bush.
唐诺，你真糗！
Donald, you're such a tard!
再见，查理
See you, Charlie.
描写花卉 编写花的故事…
To write about a flower, to dramatize a flower,
一定要表现出花的弧度
I have to show the flower's arc.
这个弧度一直弯曲到 生命的开端
And the flower's arc stretches back to the beginning of life.
花究竟怎么来的？ 它有过哪些遭遇？
How did this flower get here? What was its journey?
因此 我必须引用类比推论法…
Therefore, I should infer from analogy
英格兰，一百三十九年前
that probably all the organic beings which have ever lived on this earth
可能地球上所有 有机体的生长…
都是来自同一种原生型态…
have descended from some one primordial form
衍化成第一种会呼吸的生命
into which life was first breathed.
这是一种进化过程 适者生存
- It is a journey of evolution. - Adaptation.
我们都经历过的 把我们全体结合在一起的过程…
The journey we all take. A journey that unites each and every one of us.
达尔文认为我们都是 从同一种单细胞演化
Darwin writes that we all come from the very first single-cell organism.
然而我是我
Yet here I am.
老许是老许 还有欧琳
And there's Laroche. There's Orlean.
还有鬼兰 陷在各自的躯体之中…
And there's the ghost orchid. All trapped in our own bodies,
分别存在历史时空某一点上 就是如此
in moments in history. That's it.
我所要做的 是把所有历史串联起来
That's what I need to do. Tie all of history together.
远从地球上生命的起端
Start right before life begins on the planet.
当时一切…
All is...
了无生息 然后，生命开始…
lifeless. And then, like, life begins, um,
生成有机体 就是那些单细胞生物
with organisms. Those single-cell ones.
性生活还没开始 因为好像，一切都是无性的
Oh, and it's before sex, because, like, everything was asexual.
后来演化出较大生物 水母
From there we go to bigger things. Jellyfish.
后来又有长脚的鱼 爬上了陆地
Then that fish that got legs and crawled out on the land.
于是出现了恐龙
And then we see, you know, like, dinosaurs.
恐龙经历一段很长年代 然后一颗流星带来了：
Then they're around for a long time. Then an asteroid comes and "phwar!"
--昆虫、哺乳类、灵长类、猿猴
The insects, the mammals, the primates, monkeys.
单纯的猴子 渐渐出现新的品种
The simple monkeys. Old-fashioned monkeys giving way to the new ones.
诸如，猩猩出现 诸如，然后人类
Whatever. And then apes. Whatever. And man.
接着就是人类文明的历史 狩猎、战争、情爱…
Then we see the history of human Hunting, war, love,
心痛、疾病、孤寂、科技
heartache, disease, loneliness, technology.
最后来到苏丝欧琳 在纽约客的办公室…
And we end with Susan Orlean in her office at The New Yorker
她正在写花卉报导！ 于是乎，电影开场
writing about flowers, and bang! The movie begins.
这正是我期待的突破 之前未曾做到过
This is the breakthrough I've been hoping for. It's never been done.
马契真是天才！
McKee is a genius!
而且风趣，他的笑话总是引得 大家哈哈大笑
Hilarious. He just comes up with these great jokes, and everybody laughs.
但他也很严谨，查理 你会喜欢他的
But he's serious too, Charles. You'd love him.
他的灵感新颖丰富，和你一样
He's all for originality, just like you.
但他说 我们必须依照类型来写…
But he says we have to realize that we all write in a genre
要在类型之中寻求创意
and we must find our originality within that genre.
See, it turns out, there hasn't been a new genre since Fellini invented the mockumentary.
劳勃马契的编剧研讨班
费里尼首创仿记录片类型之前 从来没出现过新的类型
我的类型是恐怖片，你的呢？
My genre's thriller. What's yours?
我们的遗传基因相同
You and I share the same DNA.
还有什么比这更孤单呢？
Is there anything more lonely than that?
你说啥，老哥？
What'd you say, bro?
- 是吗？ - 嘿
- Yeah? - Hey.
嘿，苏丝Q
Hey, Susie-Q.
你有什么企图？
What you up to?
我不会太打扰你 我只想来见你，多找些材料
I don't wanna bother you. Just thought I'd call and get some more info.
你为何不说些有智慧的话
I think you say some pretty smart things, John.
是啊，所见过最聪明的家伙？
Yeah, smartest guy I know, huh?
那么…
So...
你的苗圃究竟出了什么事？
whatever happened to your nursery?
本来一切都很顺利
It was going pretty well.
只是，天有不测风云 黑暗降临
But, you know, sometimes bad things happen, darkness descends.
九年前，北迈阿密
苗圃生意好吗，约翰？
Nursery business good, Johnny?
万事顺利，金叔
Everything's good, Uncle Jim.
最近这一年好得出奇
This last year's been a dream.
跟你说 我们终于转亏为盈了
I'm telling you. Finally pulling out of debt.
阿门，亲爱的 我真以你为荣- -
Amen, honey. I'm so proud of you two, and...
不，我真抱歉 我不知道
No, ma'am. I'm sorry, I can't answer that.
- 不要动 - 嘿
Stay right there. Hey.
- 等一下，是谁死了？ - 拜托你不要乱动
- Hold it. Which ones are dead? - Sir, please, don't move.
- 死了哪些人？ - 动身了！
- Which ones are dead? - Let's move it!
我害死我妈和叔叔
I killed my mom, you know, and my uncle.
Um, that's how I lost my front teeth.
门牙也是那样掉的
我老婆昏迷了 大约三个星期
And my wife was in a coma for like three weeks.
一清醒就和我离了婚
And she divorced me soon after she regained consciousness.
我想，如果差点死掉的是我 我也会想要离婚
Well, I think if I almost died, I would leave my marriage too.
为什么呢？
Why?
因为我可以
Because I could.
就像是张免费票 没有人可以批判…
Because it's like a free pass. Nobody can judge you
如果你差点死去
if you almost died.
可是，我就批判了她
Well, I judged her.
也许我也受到了批判
Maybe I was being judged too.
没过一个月 安德鲁飓风来袭

如同身体里的细胞 看不到整个身体
就像鱼看不见海洋 因此我们互相艳羡，互相憎恨
彼此怨恨，真傻 心脏细胞恨着肺细胞』
