That's just what she said. Chicago? She has to transfer 转车 in St. Louis. Well, let's go to St. Louis. Come on. You have Sam's mom. Oh, I'll put that off, Wendy. No, you can't. What about Charlotte?

We're not sure what you're talking about. I know that you've been dealing heroin off of my boat on Sunday mornings, in the blue hymnals, somewhere between the psalm and the sermon. I'm not calling the police. But you're gonna have to figure out some other way to traffic your drugs, and it can't be through me. Why? I'm sorry. "Why?" When you preach and you look out over all those souls are none of them lost? Or do you just preach to the choir? You know the Four Soils? Yeah, I know the parable. Cold, hard ground, stony, shallow ground, the weeds, the rich earth. Which am I? Hmm? I run one of the biggest farms in the county. I employ scores of families, I cherish them, fete them, and my wife does untold kindnesses you'll never see. What about our souls? Can they be saved? Or maybe they ain't lost. I think you've had a hard life. I can see that. I get your struggle. God sent you his teachings, but are you listening? I want my church, sir. You have your church. On the water. Darlene, stay and listen. I'm through listening. Stay and listen. Now, Jesus, he preached the Four Soils from the water to those gathered on the beach. Did he not? Mm-hmm. And did they deal drugs while Jesus was giving his sermons? What do you think? You think they were all pure as driven snow? Are you that innocent? Don't you mean naive? You have your church. Why would you want another? Marty Byrde. Marty Byrde wants to build us a church. That what he wants? Yes. Because he's a religious man? Because he's an angel? Why would Martin Byrde want a church? You ever think about that? He's a money launderer, son. He wants to build, and build, and build, inflate construction costs, and run money through a building that's never gonna get built. Drug money. I don't believe that. Check his books, son. See how much building he pays for in cash. Now, I don't know if Marty's a good man or a bad man. I think we're all good and bad. But I think you should consider what it is you do best. Which is standing on the bow of a boat bringing God to those whose hearts you might open. If I go back on the water I am going to preach to those who have committed grievous sins on your behalf. I have to do that. And I would expect nothing less. 4. All day, I've seen versions of how I could end up and I hate them all. I miss who I was. I miss my friends. Your friends are always gonna be your friends, no matter what. You don't know that.

And watching their Snapchat stories is like FOMO 24/7. Animals mimic their parents' behavior, you know that? But I will not suffer in silence. I am not you. That's not fair.

Why do you have to be such a constant, 24/7, nagging, incessant fucking bitch? My entire fucking adult life, I've listened to your garbage that you tell me about myself. Is this back to that college thing? You never would have survived out of state. Where do you think Marty Byrde lives, Mom? What do I care? In Buddy Dieker's old house with Wendy Davis. Surprise! They're married. You lied to me. Call him. I want those papers back. I'm gonna rip them up. Oh, you want 'em back? Why don't you call him yourself, okay? Oh, and you know what? You're fired. Where are you going? To put the signs on the street side, where they belong. See how long she stays by his side when he has no business. Come back in the house, Mom, okay? Let's just talk it out, 'cause I don't wanna fight anymore. All right? You think you'd even have a job if it wasn't for me? You think you'd sell any houses? And you know we don't put the signs on the street anymore. We put 'em on the lake side now. You know that. Boy, you can't even think for yourself 你自己没有脑子吗. Okay, that's enough. 'Cause I think you're being childish, how about that? I'm being childish? Yeah. Well, I am not listening to your foolishness anymore. Mom, get out of the way. Mom, get out of the road! Would you stop worrying? I'll call you when it's done. 7. Look at this guy here. Ash said he sat there for a good, long time. Then when Byrde left, he followed. Someone's watching Byrde, Jacob. I don't want to wait for someone else to kill him. My hotheaded bride. I mean, nothing's gone right for us since he's been here. Now he's outed us to the preacher? Who will go back on the water. Our lives are different, Jacob. 8. Um Can I go for a swim? I'll talk better after. A swim? Isn't it freezing outside? I'll wear my suit. I'll be fine. All right, just out to the first buoy, that's it, okay? A short one. Okay. So, how is she? She's depressed, lonely and anxious. We've really fucked up, Marty. I think she just needs some familiar, sort of connective tissue, right? Maybe we can convince her to try the swim team again. No, we are way past any point of assimilation here. We took her life away. Everything she thought was safe is a lie. We'll look deeper for what's here. I know what's here. Trust me. It's the shit you run away from. It's pickups and warm beer and low expectations. It's grown men with bourbon on their breath, who lean in a little too close 靠的太近 and say, "My, how you've grown." All right, do you have any suggestions what we might do? Yeah. She needs to go back to Chicago. Not an option. Jonah needs to go with her. Please. We're not sending our kids away 送走. Marty, they need a life. They need to stay with us. Just forget it. I've spoken to Coach Daniels and her spot is still available on the swim team, and Mr. Oakes You what? he wants Jonah to be part of the science decathlon 十项全能 ([dɪˈkæθˌlɑn] a sports event that consists of ten different sports.) now that he's in middle. Hang on a sec. You talked to both of them without talking to me first? I'm just trying to do what's right. While excluding me from the process? What's the matter with you? You said that we're business partners, right? Yeah. Right? Well, sometimes business partners disagree. Caitlin's mom said that she would house them. Hang on. You trying to teach them your little trick? When shit gets hot, you pack up and run? Oh, fuck you, Marty! Let me tell you something. Any of us run, we're dead. So forget it. Hey, Marty, look around! This place is death 死气沉沉. Right now, let's be honest. Let's do it. Can you do it? Or are you just a deceitful bitch? You wanna talk about betrayal? Really? You wanna go there? Okay. You have a video on your computer of me. That's just a confirmation of exactly who you are. You've been watching it for months. There's a counter on that thing and you have watched it 27 times. You think I wanted to see that even once, Wendy? If you knew, why didn't you confront me? And what would I say? Anything! Anything at all. Instead of pushing all of those emotions down, distancing yourself from anything you feel. Hang on Do not change the subject to me 'cause we're talking about you. We're talking about that. You have walled me out! Why would I say no, Marty? Why? Who was I saving myself for? Intimacy from you? I don't know. Any affection from you? Well, you didn't, did you? You shut me out the minute we decided to launder the stupid fucking money. Well, maybe I was trying to protect you. I didn't want protection! I wanted you. I wanted you, you idiot. Why do you even want me here? Necessity. Not desire. Why didn't you let Del kill me when he had the chance? Oh, what? What? No dry, witty comeback? No more truth? Okay. All right, Marty. Why don't you just tell me the fuckin' truth? Just tell me the truth. Oh, you broke my heart, Wendy. 8. And I told them that I would also invest a very generous sum, um into their farm. And so, just like anyone, they wanted to talk to a reliable reference. Well, uh, Marty's been nothing but a man of his word 说话算数. How much you planning on investing in our little homestead( I. A homestead is a farmhouse, together with the land around it. II. In United States history, a homestead was a piece of government land in the west, which was given to someone so they could settle there and develop a farm. )? You got an agricultural business that's looking for reliable distribution, sustain you all year long. I'm thinking $100,000. I don't think that'd be worth your while. You understand punitive interest, don't you, Marty? $200,000. $724,000 is all I've got and it's earmarked. All you got sounds about right. You been here when the dam's let out? No, I haven't. Algae [ˈældʒi] 海藻 behind those gates comes pouring through the sluices down to the spillway(A spillway 泄洪道, 泄洪 is a structure used to provide the controlled release of flows from a dam or levee into a downstream area, typically the riverbed of the dammed river itself. In the United Kingdom, they may be known as overflow channels. Spillways ensure that the water does not overflow and damage or destroy the dam. ). Water temperature in the riverine goes back to its natural state. Fish swim happy. They opened the control room to the public when I was ten. Got on my bike, just about broke my chain to get there. Heard the sirens, saw the cranes open the spill gates 泄洪闸门. A miracle of modern engineering. I got back home, my dad was ready to beat me. I had forgotten my chores. Managed to talk my way out of it by sheer enthusiasm for science. Well he sounds like he was a reasonable man. Mm-hmm. Said he'd break my nose, I did it again. One year later, they opened the dam again. I skipped my chores again. Shirked my responsibilities. You know what my dad did? Did he break your nose? 9. It's just a school. You're good at school. Did you brush your teeth? I got gum. I can't pick your asses up after school today. I gotta see my dad. Sure you don't wanna let that bruise heal first? He said today, so today it is. They're gonna be fuckin' late on the first day again. School's a waste anyway. They read all the wrong shit. Oh, that'll play great in a job interview. Meet me in the truck. I wanna talk to Ruth a sec. Hey, wait. In case you guys get hungry. Thanks. You seein' Cade today? If you didn't wanna worry, you shouldn't have fuckin' hit me. I reacted fast, without thinking. They're gonna be late. 10. An accessory 从犯. That is what she's gonna make you. An accessory to murder. Russ I'm gonna get Byrde to invest in our shop. Yours and mine. Because he's alive and he can give us exactly what we need now. Not whatever tidbit your niece decides to throw at you 'cause he's dead. 11. Protocol calls for backup. Oh, fuck protocol. You can't fuck protocol, Roy. Look, we only got to this point 'cause me and him have developed goodwill. So let's not bring in a gaggle ( I. a group of geese. a noisy gaggle of geese. II. 一群. informal a group of people, especially a noisy and uncontrolled group. a gaggle of children in the park) of feds and fuck it all up. I'm not saying a gaggle. Just me. And I'm saying wait. He needs a handler that can approach local law enforcement. You're still undercover. Is there something about this Langmore I don't understand? No. 12. Isn't it beautiful? Pierces got a new one, so they let me take it. Well, it's the least they could do, as hard as you work for them. Ah, I need the money. For what? You can't buy squat ( I. If you describe someone or something as squat, you mean they are short and thick, usually in an unattractive way. Eddie was a short squat fellow in his forties with thinning hair. ...squat stone houses. II. A squat is an empty building that people are living in illegally, without paying any rent or any property tax. After returning from Paris, David moved to a squat in Brixton. Thomas now faces eviction from his squat. v. I. People who squat occupy an unused building or unused land without having a legal right to do so. You can't simply wander around squatting on other people's property. They earn their living by squatting the land and sharecropping. II. If you squat, you lower yourself towards the ground, balancing on your feet with your legs bent. He squatted, grunting at the pain in his knees. We squatted beside the pool and watched the diver sink slowly down. He came over and squatted on his heels, looking up at the boys. Albert squatted down and examined it. She had squatted down on her heels. ) with smiles. Oh, my God. You gave Uncle Jack money again, didn't you? Eh, he's got some cockamamy idea ( cockamamy = cockamamie [ˈkɑkəˌmeɪmi] 怪诞的, 荒诞的 ridiculous, incredible, pointless, or nonsensical: full of wild schemes and cockamamie ideas. of all the cockamamy excuses I ever heard. ). I don't know. He has a lot of business ideas, right? They're all called "drinking. " Both he and grandpa. 13. You worried about Cade, that it? No. He wouldn't do nothing to his own blood. Even if you did hit his kid. He knows what she's like. Marty Byrde? That it? We'll get another shot at him. I've been thinking about doing something different. I don't know, like bait and tackle or some shit. I know people think I'm stupid. What are you talking about? It's okay. I know what they say. But I see things, perception-wise. Okay. What I'm saying is we're all different than what people think, in some ways. Nothing wrong with it. What's your point? All I'm sayin' You wanna do something else, be something else, I got your back, that's all. Yeah, you're right. I'm just worried about Cade. 14. A commitment is something we take so seriously, we vow never to break it. This pledge is a particularly important commitment, because drugs are the most destructive force affecting America today. You can sign your papers now. Signing this is essential in early adolescence, since we're developing and cementing our personal moral code 道德价值观 while peer pressure is at its peak. Oh, Jonah, you haven't signed? Can I think about it? What could you possibly have to think about? Well, it It's complicated. I mean, the economics of it all. 15. You know, Wendy talked to her about what happened. The accident. Yeah. We went through something similar. It really shook us. I'm sorry. I don't like to talk about it much, but you know, there's always some idiot saying, "I know how you feel," or "Everything happens for a reason. " I know you're reticent 不爱多谈的, 讳莫如深的([ˈretɪsənt] not willing to provide information about something, especially about yourself or your feelings. She remembered how reticent her father had been about his past.), but I need you to work for me. To clean your money. You will be able to earn enough to afford your great-great-grandkids' tuition. Well, I understand, but you only really have to worry about the risks if you are careless or dumb. And you're neither. Let me be frank. My boss tasked me to find a pristine money guy. So whoever I choose can be a risk. Who's your boss? You have a pretty good idea, I'm sure. There's top firms that deal with discreet clients all the time and I took that portfolio to 50 investors. Either they didn't catch any discrepancy 没有发现任何不对的地方(If there is a discrepancy 不一致的地方 between two things that ought to be the same, there is a noticeable difference between them. a difference between things that should be the same. There were some discrepancies in the statement he gave to the police. a discrepancy between estimated and actual spending. ...the discrepancy between press and radio reports. [+ between] ...major discrepancies in payments made to claimants in similar circumstances. ) or they were just too fucking scared to to speak up 不敢说话, 不敢说出来. I need someone who's not just brilliant, but who also has integrity. Because integrity, my friend is the shield to greed and vanity. Well, you want somebody with integrity to do a job where they have to discard their ethics 抛弃自己的职业道德. Are you talking about societal ethics or your own? Well, probably both. So then what job would you take? Big Tobacco? No. JP Morgan? What's the difference? The latter plays in a market that already exists. So you're saying that because you're not necessarily the manufacturer, you can see a way around 绕开, the clash of ethics 职业道德的冲突(find one's way around (something) to discover a way to move around something or some place without getting lost. Can you find your way around or shall I have someone take you? Don't worry. know (one's) way around To know and understand how something works. Thanks to smartphones, you don't need to know your way around a professional camera to take a fine picture these days. know/have all the answers Also, know a thing or two; know it all; know one's way around. Be extremely knowledgeable or experienced. These idioms may be used somewhat differently, expressing overconfidence, as in Helen always knew all the answers, or thought she did, or competence, as in Bob knows a thing or two about battery technology, or ruefulness, as in I thought I knew it all about plants and then I got poison ivy, or genuine expertise, as in John knows his way around tax forms. know one's stuff; know the ropes. tricks of the trade Certain clever or ingenious skills, techniques, or methods used by professionals to do something more easily or efficiently. My uncle used to be a tailor, so he taught me all the tricks of the trade to alter a shirt. My accountant friend is showing me the tricks of the trade to pay as few taxes as possible on my income. )? I would contend that this is a little bit more of a complex issue. Okay, fair enough. So let's say there wasn't a social contract. What are your ethics? The one thing that trumps all the others? To protect and provide for my family 养活. Exactly. You will be able to provide. More than you can possibly dream. Bruce started the company. Bruce is my best friend since college. And, you know, I bet you the thing that bothers you about people like Bruce, uh, is the same thing that John Q. Public needs to feel confident to give him his money. And I would need those funds to wash anything with zero detection. Besides, he he wouldn't have any reason to deal with your accounts at all. So add loyalty to friends as a personal ethic, huh? Yeah. Is it me or do you sound like someone who wants the gig? No. That's just the way my brain works. Just playing out the scenario 各种可能性都想一遍. 16. Louis Zehner, 37, from Evanston, moving millions in and out of shell companies overseas. Terrorism? It's more than likely drug-related, sir. Oh, Jesus. Look we're going after bin Laden. There's a dealer every three blocks in this city. No one is fighting a war on drugs anymore. All right? Just work the banking. Money guys like Zehner are the way to get to the kingpins. Just do your fucking job, Agent Petty. 17. I'm just saying, you're shouldering a lot right now. No, it's just This is not what I pictured when I wanted to be a federal agent. Okay. I'm I'm in Chicago, for fuck's sake. There is so much more I could be doing. Well, then transfer. It's not that easy. Why not? I mean, life is too short to be miserable. And too short for you to have to hear about it every day? Yeah. 18. Well, what we're really looking for here is a press manager with their finger on the pulse, 'cause You don't have your finger on the pulse, you're not gonna connect with the 18 to 29s who are gonna swing the election. I'm sorry, it's just, I know that speech. I gave that speech to people who sat in this chair when I was sitting in yours, so, you know Look, my my resume clearly tells you that I can do this job. And I understand that the future of campaigning is online. I'm on Myspace, I'm on Friendster, and there's a new network called Facebook, which I think is gonna be influential. So, I know how to reach young people. I'll level with you(to tell someone the truth about something: I'll level with you - the salary's not particularly good, and there's little chance of promotion.). You seem like a nice woman, and, clearly, you're qualified. So is everyone else, and they're coming off 来自 recent campaigns. I'm sorry. 19. Anthony, what did I tell you? Don't look at me like that. Play nice 好好的玩. Think you should take your own advice, Louis. Really? Here in the playground? Mm-hmm. You people have no shame 不知羞臊, 没脸没皮的, 死皮赖脸的, 恬不知耻, do you? I told you to call my lawyer. Oh, sure, I'll call, but just thought you might wanna see this. Dad! Dad, look at me now! You know your choices, right? Work with me or watch Anthony grow up from a six-by-ten while you chow down on bean gruel with roach feces, and try to navigate risky showers. You know the position you're putting me in, right? That's the point, Lou. Take your time. Meet me here on Monday. Your family will thank you. 20. Listen, I had a thought 我有个想法. You know, Chicago fucking winters are brutal. I can't take it. It might be beneficial for both of us if I set up a shop somewhere warm, like where you're at. Maybe down in the Caymans. Louis? Yeah? A man who only talks business is a failure in all aspects of life. Just golf. This is vacation.
