Tim S01E04 Mad Dog Tim

1. - You guys want any coffee? I'm gonna run out real quick. - Oh, Timothy, you are just too sweet. - A little bit. - Well...I would love a grande mochaccino. - And I will take a large vanilla latte as well as a meatball sub with extra meatballs, toasted with provolone(一种干酪). - They don't have those at the coffee shop. 2. - Timothy. I need to see you in my office. Couch. Sit. Now. Come, Timothy. - Dude, did you do something wrong? He sounds very mad. - L... uh, I apparently did. 3. - You, uh, wanted to see me? - Oh, Timothy, yes. As you can see, I brought Keith in带...来 today even though, as we all know, the building strictly forbids dogs严格禁狗. And even though即便 I'm the boss, I'm not exempt from the rules. Now the last thing I need is Marie from "H&R"... that means Human Resources... giving me a hard time about this (give somebody a hard time 1). (informal) to criticize someone and make them feel guilty about something that they have done (often + about ) I came home late one night last week and she's been giving me a hard time about it ever since. 2). to treat someone severely or to cause difficulties for them She'd always wanted to be a teacher, but those kids gave her a really hard time. have a hard time doing something to have difficulty doing something With all the traffic noise, Mr. Packard had a hard time hearing the reporters' questions.). - Wh... where do I come in(这和我有什么关系) ((put/be/get sb in the picture) in the picture 反义于out of the picture to be involved in a situation Strong thunderstorms and heavy rain are in the picture for the Southeast on Monday. in the loop=in the picture having knowledge of and involvement in something Is Congress fully in the loop on issues of national security?

(See also (Do you) get my drift[大意, 要点, 主旨; 漂流]?) Things are tough around here, and we need everyone's cooperation. Get the picture? We don't need lazy people around here. Get the message? the whole/big picture the most important facts about a situation and the effects of that situation on other things You're just taking into account Melissa's views of the situation but of course that's not the whole picture. In my political work I try to concentrate on the big picture and not be distracted by details. Usage notes: often used after look at: When you look at the big picture, a slight increase in unemployment is not significant. picture perfect Fig. looking exactly correct or right. (Hyphenated as a modifier.) At last, everything was picture perfect. Nothing less than a picture-perfect party table will do.)? - Well... on our way正在 out of the elevators sweet Keith here innocently pooped on the rug. Defecated(vt. 澄清, 净化, 大便). - No, I understand what you mean, I just don't know what you...what you want me to do. I don't have to clean it up, do I? - No no no no. Somebody else can clean it up. Don't worry about it. I want you to say you did it. Tell everyone you took a dump on the rug. - I can't say that. People would remember that. I think that story could catch on (catch on (with someone) Fig. [for something] to become popular with someone. I hope our new product catches on with children. I'm sure it will catch on. ). - Listen. Just go to everyone. individually, as a group, however you want to do it... and say, "Hey, I took a poop on the rug by the elevators, now let's all just move on with our lives." - I don't think it's that simple. That's just not a good career moveThat could bury me. - Listen. I would consider this a personal favor就当帮我个人一个忙. - I guess the business world is all about favors. - You've made a very very wise choice here. - It doesn't feel like it. 4. - Can I have everyone's attention in this area, please? Evidently, one of you decided to bring in a dog today. I need to know who that person is. Building management大厦管理, 物业 wants the dog out. - Unbelievable. Strictly against policy(the rules, 严重违规). - Come on, people. I need to see the pooch. I don't want to have to conduct a search. - You know what? I have a confession to make. 5. - Tim, if I could take this我来替你解释? - Thank you. I appreciate that. I think what Tim is...what Tim is trying to say here is that he took a dump by the elevator. - Back to work. 6. - Dude. That is messed up (那太糟糕了, 怎么会这样, 太乱套了, 太莫名其妙了 messed up = screwed up, jacked up, fucked up, hacked up, bolted up 1) unjust, lacking fairness, unfortunate "Your mom won't let you go out of state for college?

Yeah, I know, I used the system to do a check-over on my projet but it completely destroyed it instead! That shit's completely fucked up! ) - Tim, why on earth would you do that你为什么会做这种事? - Disgusting. - Just, I'm... this is New York. Fast-paced...fast-paced快节奏的 business world. I don't have time to... - What does New York have to do with(和纽约有什么关系)... - I don't have time to be using public restrooms every day. - Is this some kind of a joke? - A joke? No, it's just a... an attitude, an overall attitude, a rebellious attitude. I'm Tim and I, uh... Poop where you want. You don't like it? That's the way I am我就是这样的人. 7. - That was brilliant. Oh, you handled that你处理那件事, oh, with a lot of class( class (informal)impressive stylishness in appearance or behaviour (非正式)[外表、举止的]风度, 气质, 高格调, 高品位 She's got class—she looks like a princess她很有气质——像个公主 class act (chiefly N.

I want one more little favor from you and you're done. - One more... no. - No, it's gotta stop. - No, it will, right after this这个完事之后就结束了. You just take Keith downstairs for a quick little walk, so we get no more accidents... then we're all done. - I thought I was done. - No, just this one little thing. - One more thing. - Right right right. Just walk him, scoop up his poop in your hand and then you're done. And if he does anything else between here and the outside area, just claim responsibility for it like you did so classily before. - I guess... how much worse can it get? - Well, that's... that's a question for Keith这个问题应该问. - He is his own man(他只听自己的, 他谁的也不听), you know. 9. - How was the mochaccino? - Ooh, it was lovely. Delish. - That's good那就好. - What was that? - Was that you? - Tim, your bag is barking. - No, I think it was you. Maybe it was me. I cough funny. - I cough like a dog... like a small dog. - That's a weird cough. It's bugging me. - It's really irritating me. 10. - There's strict rules. - Oh, I just want to pet抚摸爱抚 him. 11. - This woman's bleeding pretty badly. That? What, 'cause there's a trail of blood? We need to get her to a hospital, stat. 12. - What exactly did you say to the security man保安人员? - The quote was(They won't be here at all in there years' time — you can quote me on that你就说是我说的.)... "I bit Helen." And then I ran up the stairs. I panicked. I'll admit it. - Okay, Listen, we can work with this. That's pretty classy thinking. We need reasons, we need motives why you would bite Helen. We could say it was a sexual thing, some kind of crazy, perverted变态的 sexual advance gone... I mean, you like Helen, right? 13. Okay, plan B: We could say that you have fits of rage盛怒...you are mentally totally unbalanced(精神错乱的) and you need mental treatment. Done. Problem solved. 14. - No, it's an awful idea糟主意. - That's the best solution on the table( on the table 1. 被提出考虑, 被提交到桌面上的 if a plan or offer is on the table, it has been officially suggested and is now being discussed or thought about The offer on the table is an 8% increase on last year's wages. At 6 p.m. on Thursday 29 April, a new deal was put on the table. 2. (American) if a plan is on the table, no one is dealing with it at present but it has not been completely forgotten The committee agreed to leave the option to build a stadium in the city on the table. ). No, not if "biting" is involved, because this has legal ramifications后果, 衍生结果 for sweet Keith. I'm afraid they'll have to put the little guy down and that is not going to happen. Is it, Keith? You realize that, right? Here's the plan: I will talk to Helen, I will make sure she plays along(play along (with somebody/something) 合作 to seem to support or be friendly to someone or something, to pretend to cooperate with someone or something in a joke, scam, etc. He knew that if he didn't play along with the reporters, they would write unpleasant stories about him. I don't really like their idea that much but for now, it is probably a good idea simply to play along.); you take responsibility for the bite and I give you a 10% pay raise. Deal. 15. - Dude, you dropped a deuce on the carpet? - No, I did not do that. - And you bit a woman in the ankle. - I didn't do either of those things. I'm watching the boss's dog. Yeah, Keith is out of control. - You're covering for掩护 him. His dog's name is Keith? That's a person's name. - I'm gonna blow the whistle, though. Everyone's giving me weird looks(看我的表情很奇怪). - No no no no. No whistle blow. - Why? - Because those weird looks are looks of fear and respect. Those are two looks you've just never seen before. - Because I took a dump on the floor? - Because everyone thinks you're a badass(寻衅滋事的人, 找麻烦的人). Yeah. Do you know what people are calling you around the office now? Mad Dog. They say, "Watch out. Stay away离远点 from Mad Dog..." "...'cause he'll bite your face off and poop down your throat." - I don't think that's what I want people to think when they see me. 16. - You want something to eat, drink? What can I get you? - Yeah, sure. I'll get a Coke. - Coke. Coming right up. - And for me a pina colada冰镇果汁朗姆酒. - You? Who the hell are you? - I'm part of the posse一伙的( (informal)a group of people who have a common characteristic, occupation, or purpose (非正式)一群, 一组,[有共同特点的人、同行或志同道合者] ). Don't ask questions. 17. - See? We're running things now(Tiffany's son is running things like he is her boyfriend! I guess he is her Surrogate boyfriend替身男朋友.). You should've started biting people years ago. 18. - Let's get this meeting started. I just want to go over where we left of last week then review some of the more recent research findings. - Why don't we review the findings of you sitting your ass down? - Uh, excuse me? - You heard me. Tim here is running the show(run the show 主事, 管事 (informal) to be in charge of an organization or an activity (often in continuous tenses) He started off working in the kitchen and now he's running the show. Although the new president of our club has not taken office yet, she's running the show already. ) now. - I'm afraid he's right. Why don't you have a seat? - Okay. I got no problem with you, man. - Let me take over. Let me review these documents. Unacceptable. Incompetent. I'm just gonna wing it (wing it 即兴表演 to do the best that you can in a situation that you are not prepared for. to invent a way to deal with a situation you are not prepared for. to improvise; to do something extemporaneously. I lost my lecture notes, so I had to wing it. Don't worry. Just go out there and wing it. I didn't have time to write a speech, so I just had to wing it in front of a large audience. Some actors can wing it, others go completely silent when something happens on stage that isn't supposed to happen. I hadn't had time to prepare the talk so I just had to wing it. ). I know I have a reputation around this place, but listen, I don't want to run this meeting out of fearDon't live in fear of(怕..., 为...提心吊胆) me. pulling my pants down and taking a poop next to your cubicle工位. I'm not going to do that. - But he will... ...if he needs to - I might. I might有可能. If I think it's going to send the right message. Don't think I won't. Don't think I won't bite you.  - If he needs to just fucking show you what's what(The fundamentals and details of a situation or process; the true state or condition.). - I bit Helen. She's feeling the pain right now. She's paying the price付出代价. The price was right. Yeah, I just want a little respect or... my mouth will be on your leg. Do I make myself clear? 19. - Hey, everybody. Looks who's back. It's Helen. - Oh, hi, Tim. Just had to get a few stitches缝了几针. - Wait, you two are on speaking terms(on speaking terms说得上话 friendly enough to talk. on friendly terms with someone. We have heard from various people that the coach is barely on speaking terms with his best pitcher. Usage notes: often used in the form not on speaking terms: The two nations have not been on speaking terms for a couple of decades)? - Why wouldn't we be on speaking terms? I don't hold it against( hold something against someone 怪罪, 埋怨 Fig. to blame something on someone; to bear a grudge against someone; to resent someone. to have a bad opinion about someone because of something they did. to think badly of someone, a group, or something because of something. I am the one who dented your fender. I'm sorry. I hope you don't hold it against me. I hold all this mess against the government. Your brother is mean to me, but I can't hold it against you. You're holding something against me. What is it?) Tim. Tim's a lovely boy. - You've got mail. Oh, guys, I've got to go check AOL Later. - Did you lose a lot of blood失血过多? I think you're not remembering. - No, the doggy bit me, and then Tim started panicking and whimpering. He was just like a little girl. "Mommy mommy mommy." It was just so cute. - You know... I think you're right. I don't know why I thought I bit you. I've remembered that very... inaccurately. - Tim. Why on earth would you take credit for (take credit for something to allow people to believe that one has done something praiseworthy, whether or not one has actually done it. I can't take credit for the entire success. Toby helped a lot. Mary took credit for everything that Dave did. ) biting Helen? - Um, yeah, I shouldn't have done that. - That is just bizarre. - You can keep calling me Mad Dog. We can just stick with that.- No, we'll go back to Tim the Idiot. - That sounds better. - Doesn't instill fear. These are not good nicknames. I'd just as soon(情愿, 宁愿 would just as soon to prefer to I'd just as soon work at home and not have the hassle of the subway every morning.) not even have a nickname.
