Mendes, the 20-year old Vine celebrity-turned-pop-star, has been hounded by gay rumours throughout his career. Back in 2016, Mendes took to Snapchat to say he was straight — but two years later, the whispers have turned into vicious, thirst-based roars as fans analyse his mannerisms and make memes about him being in the closet. In the feature, called "Confessions Of A Neurotic Teen Idol", Mendes speaks about how he feels an urge to censor his 'effeminate' mannerisms, studying YouTube footage of himself to catch out vocal inflections or crossed-legs, or an urge to be papped with a girl to end speculation. He also references seeing a Twitter comment about how he once crossed his legs, and as a result of that he now monitors himself in public. There's another instance, too, where he recalls waking up in a cold sweat after giving Taylor Swift approval to post a picture of the two of them messing around backstage with eye makeup. "I felt sick," Mendes says. "I was like, 'Fuck, why did I let her post that' I just fed the fire that I'm terrified of." This constant need to self-moderate one's behaviour is reminiscent to any LGBTIQ person, a warped shadowing of the need to erase clues of your queerness. It's disappointing then that the speculation around Mendes' sexuality mostly comes from LGBTIQ fans (well, same-sex attracted men) — and because of this, they've gained a particularly lecherous and lustful tone. The memes regularly leap out from 跳出来 the internet, too: for example, when he was interviewed by Andy Cohen, skater Adam Rippon coyly jokes he "had a connection" with Mendes at the Met Gala. It's a codified wink-wink that queer people know well, but it's being used as a weapon against someone who has continually said they're straight, which in turn only prompts more dogged rumours about being in the closet. As John Paul Brammer wrote for Them back in May, the way the queer community fetishised Mendes is endemic of a lot of our own binary beliefs: a dogged insistence( [ˈdɔɡəd] determined to achieve something and continuing to try despite difficulties. Their success was due to the dogged determination of their coach.) that 'effeminate' mannerisms make you a bottom, or that certain traits 特征, 特性 make you gay, rather than act as a cultural language that many gay men self-identify with. It's the same logic that determines that 'real' men don't cry or carefully construct their hair: we make a mockery of 嘲讽, 嘲笑 anything less than rigid masculinity, then get frustrated when men are devoid ( [dɪˈvɔɪd] lacking something, especially a good quality. devoid of: Rob's face was devoid of any warmth. ) of self-expression. Reaction to the Rolling Stone profile has been mixed on Twitter, where speculation about Mendes is most rampant 肆虐的, 肆无忌惮的. While many have paused for self-reflection, others are now insisting that Mendes' self-censoring is "inherently homophobic" as he tries to weed out his own 'gay' traits — traits that the internet has persistently turned into a point of mockery. He's since apologised, but it's indicative of how many read Mendes' comments within their own narrative [ˈnerətɪv] of 自说自话的 coming out(narrative verdict a verdict used in coroners' courts in England and Wales. The circumstances of a death are recorded without saying who was responsible.

Ozark: 1. What? Where's Charlotte? Tell these people where their daughter is. I don't know, honestly.
You talked to her in the hallway. What'd she say? I will kick your sorry, ditching ass. This is not just about skipping school. She said that she's going to Chicago. I walked her to the station. 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? I'll go. You're gonna go? What'll I do? Just walk to Sam's? I'm visiting my dad near St. Louis. I was gonna leave an hour ago. But I can show you near the station(I. If you show someone something, you give it to them, take them to it, or point to it, so that they can see it or know what you are referring to. Cut out this article and show it to your bank manager. He showed me the flat he shares with Esther. I showed them where the gun was. Show me which one you like and I'll buy it for you. II.If you show someone to a room or seat, you lead them there. Let me show you to my study. Milton was shown into the office. John will show you upstairs, Mr Penry. I'll show you the way. III. 播放.

The building company decorates it and puts furniture in it, and people who want to buy one of the homes come and look round it.). Okay. Let's go. Oh, and you can borrow the beast. Oh, it's running again, huh? Uh, yeah, I got it fixed. 2. Sometimes I lose my way I forget the words that I say. 3. I'm not here to judge you for it, but I can't participate in it either. 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. You made it so that I can't tell them anything. I have to pretend like the worst, scariest, most damaging thing in my life is actually fucking awesome. 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. Well, where are your friends? What do you tell them? I tell them what I believe to be true. That this is a family sabbatical ( [səˈbætɪk(ə)l] a period away from work when people such as college or university teachers can study, rest, or travel. A sabbatical is a period of time during which someone such as a university teacher can leave their ordinary work and travel or study. He took a year's sabbatical from the Foreign Office. He's been on sabbatical writing a novel. the Sabbath [ˈsæbəθ] a day for people of some religions to rest and pray. The Jewish Sabbath is Saturday and the Christian Sabbath is Sunday. keep/break the Sabbath to follow or not follow the rules about the Sabbath. ). Return to simplicity. 5. Bruce and Marty commit to work for Del, and Del has his previous financial advisor Louis killed in front of them. Not only was Louis skimming, which Del suspected and Marty confirmed when analyzing the ledgers, he was also informing to Roy at the FBI. Roy has a steady boyfriend and fledgling 事业上升期的, 羽翼未丰的, 初出茅庐的 FBI career( fledgling recently formed and still developing, without very much experience. fledgling democracies that could be overwhelmed by new waves of refugees. a. without much experience with a job or situation because you are new to it. fledgling pop stars. ), but a difficult relationship with his mother, who is a heroin addict. Unhappy at the FBI's insistence on pursuing terrorists rather than drug dealers, Roy plots to get his way. 6. Can I ask you a question? 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.
Ozark: 1. What? Where's Charlotte? Tell these people where their daughter is. I don't know, honestly.
You talked to her in the hallway. What'd she say? I will kick your sorry, ditching ass. This is not just about skipping school. She said that she's going to Chicago. I walked her to the station. 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?

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. You made it so that I can't tell them anything. I have to pretend like the worst, scariest, most damaging thing in my life is actually fucking awesome. 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. Well, where are your friends? What do you tell them? I tell them what I believe to be true. That this is a family sabbatical ( [səˈbætɪk(ə)l] a period away from work when people such as college or university teachers can study, rest, or travel. A sabbatical is a period of time during which someone such as a university teacher can leave their ordinary work and travel or study. He took a year's sabbatical from the Foreign Office. He's been on sabbatical writing a novel. the Sabbath [ˈsæbəθ] a day for people of some religions to rest and pray. The Jewish Sabbath is Saturday and the Christian Sabbath is Sunday. keep/break the Sabbath to follow or not follow the rules about the Sabbath. ). Return to simplicity. 5. Bruce and Marty commit to work for Del, and Del has his previous financial advisor Louis killed in front of them. Not only was Louis skimming, which Del suspected and Marty confirmed when analyzing the ledgers, he was also informing to Roy at the FBI. Roy has a steady boyfriend and fledgling 事业上升期的, 羽翼未丰的, 初出茅庐的 FBI career( fledgling recently formed and still developing, without very much experience. fledgling democracies that could be overwhelmed by new waves of refugees. a. without much experience with a job or situation because you are new to it. fledgling pop stars. ), but a difficult relationship with his mother, who is a heroin addict. Unhappy at the FBI's insistence on pursuing terrorists rather than drug dealers, Roy plots to get his way. 6. Can I ask you a question? 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.

ozark 3
用法学习: 1. oyster I. something from which advantage, delight, profit, etc, may be derived. the world is his oyster 无可阻挡, 无往不利, 士气正盛, 谁也阻挡不了: If you say that the world is someone's oyster, you mean that they can do anything or go anywhere that they want to. You're young, you've got a lot of opportunity. The world is your oyster. II. informal a very uncommunicative person. 玛格丽特公主的保姆要出书: In April 1949, having heard of the offer, Queen Elizabeth wrote to Crawford, saying: "I do feel, most definitely, that you should not write and sign articles about the children, as people in positions of confidence with us must be utterly oyster. If you, the moment you finished teaching Margaret, started writing about her and Lilibet, well, we should never feel confidence in anyone again." However, the Queen did give a carefully qualified approval for her to anonymously provide some assistance, writing: "Mr Morrah (the man chosen to write the articles), who I saw the other day, seemed to think that you could help him with his articles and get paid from America. This would be quite all right as long as your name did not come into it. Nevertheless, I do feel most strongly that you must resist the allure of American money and persistent editors and say No No No to offers of dollars for articles about something as private and as precious as our family." 2. A grace-and-favour home is a residential property owned by a monarch by virtue of his or her position as head of state and leased, often rent-free, to persons as part of an employment package or in gratitude 表达感谢 for past services rendered. Some are owned by UK charitable trusts. It is possible that the term crept into English through the writings of Niccolò Machiavelli, who wrote of advisers who are ministers per grazia e concessione, which has been translated as "through grace and favour". Upon her retirement in 1948, Crawford was given Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of Kensington Palace, as a grace and favour home. Queen Mary also provided it with antique furniture and flower prints as a mark of her appreciation. 3. picnic informal, mainly Australian a troublesome situation or experience. no picnic 并非轻而易举的, 不是容易事, 不简单, 不容易 [informal] If you say that an experience, task, or activity is no picnic, you mean that it is quite difficult or unpleasant. Emigrating is no picnic. lasso [ˈlæsoʊ] 套马索 a long rope with one end tied in a circle, used especially in North America for controlling horses, cows, and other large animals. A lasso is a long rope with a loop at one end, used especially by cowboys for catching cattle. If you lasso an animal, you catch it by throwing a lasso round its neck and pulling it tight. Cowboys drove covered wagons and rode horses, lassoing cattle. noose [nuːs] 绳套 I. A noose is a circular loop at the end of a piece of rope or wire. A noose is tied with a knot that allows it to be tightened, and it is usually used to trap animals or hang people. II. You can refer to something that traps people in a difficult situation as a noose around their neck. The rebels are tightening the noose around the capital. goody two shoes = goody-goody 乖乖女, 乖小孩, 乖宝宝 (play goody two shoes) I. [informal, disapproval] The definition of a goody two shoes is a person who always does everything right and always follows the rules, so much so that it becomes annoying. If you call someone a goody-goody, you mean they behave extremely well in order to please people in authority. II. An example of a goody two shoes is a person who always sits in front, waves her hand to answer every question in class and tattle tales on people on the playground. 4. You could sell this. Serious? Mm-hmm! I mean, you got the eyes in the exact right spot. You tapered the edges. Guys would spend five or six bucks for that. Some suckers 傻小子, a lot more. Well, they they could buy a factory fly for 30 cents, do the job just fine. Why they buy that? Because rich people are always looking for new ways to spend their money. Okay. Hey. Listen I've been thinking about opening a shop down here for a while now. Bait and tackle. Sell two-handed rods, waders, all kinds of gear. Hand-tied flies like this. What would you say about coming in with 合伙, 搭伙 me on this? You and me in business? Why not? We'd be stuck. I mean, we'd need we'd need capital. It'd cost a lot up front 前期投入很大. No. It doesn't have to be a big place. We could operate in cash, so we don't have to pay credit card fees. Still, all that inventory 库存, the rent. What about that guy your niece works with? Byrde? Yeah, get him to invest. Not him. Why not? He seems to be throwing down 撒钱 on a lot of places.
Ozark: 1. Charlie, cop a squat(to sit down. To crouch down. You guys got a great spot for the fireworks—can I cop a squat here with you? Hey, man! Come in and cop a squat here next tome. Cop a squat and crack a tube. pop a squat I. (slang, of women) To urinate in a public place. II. To crouch down. ). Fries? No, thanks. Have you seen Zach? [Leah] He's pulling his boat out today. Pulling it out? Yep. Done for the season. He has, like, some work thing over Labor Day, so [Wyatt] Pulled her out before he left for Chicago this morning. He didn't tell you? Heard you two were at Party Cove the other night. You know, they always leave 总是会走的, 总是要走的, Charlotte. That's the difference between us and them. And I guess you're one of us now. 2. Who the hell is that on the pole? We needed to class the joint up(To class up something means to make that thing have class, or to make it classy. To add a touch of refinement or elegance to an otherwise seedy or unsavory location, grouping, or endeavor. The crystal doorknobs in the dive bar really 'class up the joint'. "Men of Honor", Billy say these words to Carl who just came into the bar: Hell, I don't know who classes up the joint more the fetching young lady in the fur stole or cookie here. So he's saying that he doesn't know who makes the place more elegant, the lady in the fur stole, or "cookie". Cookie appears to be Carl's nickname, and I'm guessing it's derogatory. By the way, it appears that he's being sarcastic. The speaker doesn't like the woman because I think she was inebriated at the time and later he says, "spoiled little rich girl gets her kicks draggin' stray men in here", suggesting that she might be promiscuous. Judging from the script, the speaker doesn't like African-Americans either. This suggests that Carl isn't welcome, and so neither Carl nor the girl would actually class up the joint, in the opinion of the speaker. ) if we ever wanna make any money. And this was Marty's idea? Mm-mm. Mine. I looked at our inventory and I felt that it was lacking. Don't get your thong in a bunch ( get (one's) panties in a bunch 别激动, 别不高兴 To become overly upset or emotional over something, especially that which is trivial or unimportant. Primarily heard in US, South Africa. Ah, don't get your panties in a bunch, I'll have the car back by tomorrow morning! In my opinion, people are getting their panties in a bunch over this election. Don't get your thong in a knot = Modern North American derivative of don't get your panties in a bunch or don't get your knickers in a twist. Since the use of thongs as a ladies' undergarment has now widely replaced panties and knickers. It's a rude way to say "don't get upset." It sounds dismissive and condescending though so I wouldn't suggest using it! Sit down don't get your thong in a knot.). Competition's good for you. It builds character. Well, we all know why you're here. What was that you said? It's okay. Tell me. Bobby Dean turns up dead, and now you're in charge? Don't deny it. We all know who your daddy is. Anyone else got shit to say about my daddy? Hmm? Then get back to work. We got a shit-ton of money to make this weekend. 3. What the hell was the kid doing here, then? Why'd he drive all the way down from Chicago? Because he suspects. Okay, what does he suspect? And I'll need some specifics, Wendy. He doesn't believe his father committed suicide. And he's talking to the police. Well, did you change his mind? I don't know. Then you didn't change his mind. I don't know. You would know, don't you think? I don't know. And what was I supposed to do? Kill him and throw him off the dock? What did you tell him? What was said? What did you speak about? I told him his father was heartbroken because I left. 4. So, Zach that invite to Party Cove still good 邀请函还有效吗(Invite is still open, does the invite still stands, My invitation stands, The invitation stands, or The invitation is still there. You have a standing/open invitation to 随时欢迎, 欢迎随时 visit us any time. an open invitation I. an invitation to visit someone whenever you like. II. something that makes it easier for criminals to steal, cheat et.c. an open invitation to: The lack of security measures provides an open invitation to crime. "The invitation is still valid," to me implies something like, it had an official expiry date for a response. Like an invitation you've won to something, and needed to respond back before a certain time, or it would be invalid. As if it was from a contest, or something. 不地道的说法: My invitation is on. My invitation is current.)? We're going now. Give me five minutes. 5. I mean, what the fuck kind of place is this? You know? Those people? They're gonna cut a human out of another human?

I know, but she still puts in the time. I deserve a bonus. These cookies are awful. Did you bake these? Eugenia, would you mind terribly if we just finished up here? Yes, I would. We're about to open. Okay. Wendy, go ahead. What were you gonna say? Since I've been working with you, you've been able to increase your commission from 5 to 7%. Now, I did some math. And you've been able to have an additional earnings of $192,000. I think it's only fair that I should request a bonus 要求奖金 beyond my hourly, that will align my total compensation with my value 配的上我的价值. Okay. What are we talking? Half your increase in income. Half?

We've got three open suites, so I was just gonna rotate guests as they come, and we'll do the regular rooms first, then we'll do the cabins afterwards. Why don't we just wait till the off-season 淡季?

We got a business plan and everything. We got other shit in motion, moron. Or did your thick head just forget? I ain't the one who forgot! Way you been sitting on shit, looks like you're the one who lost sight of the goal. Can you give us just one sec? No problem. Thank you. It's about opportunity. And without opportunity, you get caught. And guess what? I got my hands on some good goddamn opportunity this afternoon. So fuck off. Bullshit, you do. What? No way. 'Cause you don't got a plan!

What the hell was that about? Fucking bitch, that's what. Come on. Hey. She's an entitled piece of shit is all. Did you fuck with my shit? The dock. What dock? I rigged it this afternoon. Thirty fucking minutes later, unrigged. Marty Byrde steps out safe, sound, not at all electrocuted! You wanna tell me what the fuck happened? Russ, you're the only other person on this fucking planet who knew what I intended. The fuck are you accusing me of? Hey, maybe you just didn't rig it right, Ruth. Yeah? Why don't I rig our dock right now and throw you in? Hmm? Then you can tell me if I rigged it right, fuck! Cunt! 11. So, listen, Ruth, um, I need you to, um, take care of things around here for a little while. Can you do that? Run stuff 管理员工? Me? Yeah. Just through the holiday weekend. I gotta work at the Blue Cat. Well, it'll be fucking slammed here. I'll make it worth your while, cash-wise 付出有回报的, I promise. You got any questions, just give me a call. Okay? You'll be fine. 12. I just wanted to say sorry. All good. It's just about healed 马上就好了, 快要痊愈了. No, for my freak show 怪异行径 of a mother ( Flynn: What, are you stupid? Why are you letting your guard down around this girl? Just because she's cute doesn't mean she's innocent! Eugene : I'm sorry, have you met Rapunzel? Flynn: Okay, fine, she's as naïve as they come, but seriously! Don't let her get in the way of the big master plan! Remember what that is? Show her the lanterns, get crown from her, then GET THE HECK OUTTA TOWN! Before the guards kill you! Eugene: I don't know... I can't just leave her in that infernal tower, with that freak show of a mother. Flynn: You haven't even met this woman, and you're judging her? You've only heard one side of the story, and frankly, it's a very biased version. You don't know what's true and what isn't. This whole thing could just be a big misunderstanding. Eugene: Rapunzel wouldn't lie. Flynn: How do you know? You only met her about ten hours ago! Eugene: True, but I've got that gut instinct about people. I usually know who I can trust, and who I can't. Rapunzel practically screams trust. Flynn: And you practically scream pathetic! What do you think is going to happen, huh? That she'll follow you? That she'll help you steal and wreak havoc and then go with you to some remote island? Puh-LEASE! She isn't that kind of girl! Eugene: Well, I know that ! And I would never ask her to change who she is. But . . . well, maybe... maybe I could change.WHOA. Where did that thought come from? I stop dead in my tracks. My breath comes in short, erratic spurts as my heart batters against my rib cage. I'm losing my mind. Thinking of changing for a girl? What happened to my dignity? What happened to my sense of self? Where's the fearless Flynn Rider? I'll tell you! He's back in that damn tower. Meanwhile, Eugene is falling head over heels for a certain young blonde... ). And the punch you deserved, but a dead animal's just disgusting. Well, uh, apology accepted. Uh And, I'm really sorry - about all that stuff, too. Well Should've known I wouldn't come at you with my right (If you say that someone is within their rights to do something 有权利, you mean that they are morally or legally entitled to do it. You were quite within your rights to refuse to co-operate with him.). Not again. Why? Is it, like, good manners to put the second black eye on the other side? Uh, I don't know about manners, but symmetry 对称 is more attractive. 13. You know that Bobby Dean had enemies? [Rachel scoffs] Most assholes do. People that would pin a murder on someone 嫁祸于人? You mean the someone that stole his strip club? Oh, please. I paid a fair price. A lot more than I needed to. Okay, I am starting to get the feeling that there is more to you than meets the eye 深不可测, at least more than good hair. And I'm not sure how I feel about it. Mm. I'm a businessman, Rachel. That's it. Yeah, look. I have no idea what Bobby Dean was into, okay? I avoided him like the clap when he was alive and I don't see why that should change now that he is dead. But here's what I do know. You, being here, being visible to customers I'm not sure that's good for business right now. You should stay away. Oh, yeah? At least, you know, camp out in the office or something till this gets sorted out. Yeah, fine. Although, let me ask you a question. Uh, what do you know about the name Snell? Well they've lived here as long as anyone can remember. Moved up into those hills when the dam was built. Lake swallowed up their ancestors' graves. Folks tell all kinds of tales about the devious things that are going on on that farm, but who knows what is just urban legend. 14. How'd Bobby look when they fished him out 打捞出来? Like a peeled pumpkin. Mm. Let that be a lesson to you, Ash. Never trust a redneck when you need the job done right. Yes, ma'am. And this Byrde man Martin Byrde. Said his employer wouldn't allow it. His exact words. Even after he saw the body? I watched Sheriff Nix fish it out right in front of him. All of which means he's more afraid of his boss than he is of us. Only question is, does he have reason to be? Ash! Now, you know what you need to do for us now, don't you? About Mr. Byrde. Yes, ma'am. Best get to it, then.
Ozark: 1. Charlie, cop a squat(to sit down. To crouch down. You guys got a great spot for the fireworks—can I cop a squat here with you? Hey, man! Come in and cop a squat here next tome. Cop a squat and crack a tube. pop a squat I. (slang, of women) To urinate in a public place. II. To crouch down. ). Fries? No, thanks. Have you seen Zach? [Leah] He's pulling his boat out today. Pulling it out? Yep. Done for the season. He has, like, some work thing over Labor Day, so [Wyatt] Pulled her out before he left for Chicago this morning. He didn't tell you? Heard you two were at Party Cove the other night. You know, they always leave 总是会走的, 总是要走的, Charlotte. That's the difference between us and them. And I guess you're one of us now. 2. Who the hell is that on the pole? We needed to class the joint up(To class up something means to make that thing have class, or to make it classy. To add a touch of refinement or elegance to an otherwise seedy or unsavory location, grouping, or endeavor. The crystal doorknobs in the dive bar really 'class up the joint'. "Men of Honor", Billy say these words to Carl who just came into the bar: Hell, I don't know who classes up the joint more the fetching young lady in the fur stole or cookie here. So he's saying that he doesn't know who makes the place more elegant, the lady in the fur stole, or "cookie". Cookie appears to be Carl's nickname, and I'm guessing it's derogatory. By the way, it appears that he's being sarcastic. The speaker doesn't like the woman because I think she was inebriated at the time and later he says, "spoiled little rich girl gets her kicks draggin' stray men in here", suggesting that she might be promiscuous. Judging from the script, the speaker doesn't like African-Americans either. This suggests that Carl isn't welcome, and so neither Carl nor the girl would actually class up the joint, in the opinion of the speaker. ) if we ever wanna make any money. And this was Marty's idea? Mm-mm. Mine. I looked at our inventory and I felt that it was lacking. Don't get your thong in a bunch ( get (one's) panties in a bunch 别激动, 别不高兴 To become overly upset or emotional over something, especially that which is trivial or unimportant. Primarily heard in US, South Africa. Ah, don't get your panties in a bunch, I'll have the car back by tomorrow morning! In my opinion, people are getting their panties in a bunch over this election. Don't get your thong in a knot = Modern North American derivative of don't get your panties in a bunch or don't get your knickers in a twist. Since the use of thongs as a ladies' undergarment has now widely replaced panties and knickers. It's a rude way to say "don't get upset." It sounds dismissive and condescending though so I wouldn't suggest using it! Sit down don't get your thong in a knot.). Competition's good for you. It builds character. Well, we all know why you're here. What was that you said? It's okay. Tell me. Bobby Dean turns up dead, and now you're in charge? Don't deny it. We all know who your daddy is. Anyone else got shit to say about my daddy? Hmm? Then get back to work. We got a shit-ton of money to make this weekend. 3. What the hell was the kid doing here, then? Why'd he drive all the way down from Chicago? Because he suspects. Okay, what does he suspect? And I'll need some specifics, Wendy. He doesn't believe his father committed suicide. And he's talking to the police. Well, did you change his mind? I don't know. Then you didn't change his mind. I don't know. You would know, don't you think? I don't know. And what was I supposed to do? Kill him and throw him off the dock? What did you tell him? What was said? What did you speak about? I told him his father was heartbroken because I left. 4. So, Zach that invite to Party Cove still good 邀请函还有效吗(Invite is still open, does the invite still stands, My invitation stands, The invitation stands, or The invitation is still there. You have a standing/open invitation to 随时欢迎, 欢迎随时 visit us any time. an open invitation I. an invitation to visit someone whenever you like. II. something that makes it easier for criminals to steal, cheat et.c. an open invitation to: The lack of security measures provides an open invitation to crime.

My invitation is current.)? We're going now. Give me five minutes. 5. I mean, what the fuck kind of place is this? You know? Those people? They're gonna cut a human out of another human?

What the hell was that about? Fucking bitch, that's what. Come on. Hey. She's an entitled piece of shit is all. Did you fuck with my shit? The dock. What dock? I rigged it this afternoon. Thirty fucking minutes later, unrigged. Marty Byrde steps out safe, sound, not at all electrocuted! You wanna tell me what the fuck happened? Russ, you're the only other person on this fucking planet who knew what I intended. The fuck are you accusing me of? Hey, maybe you just didn't rig it right, Ruth. Yeah? Why don't I rig our dock right now and throw you in? Hmm? Then you can tell me if I rigged it right, fuck! Cunt! 11. So, listen, Ruth, um, I need you to, um, take care of things around here for a little while. Can you do that? Run stuff 管理员工? Me? Yeah. Just through the holiday weekend. I gotta work at the Blue Cat. Well, it'll be fucking slammed here. I'll make it worth your while, cash-wise 付出有回报的, I promise. You got any questions, just give me a call. Okay? You'll be fine. 12. I just wanted to say sorry. All good. It's just about healed 马上就好了, 快要痊愈了. No, for my freak show 怪异行径 of a mother ( Flynn: What, are you stupid? Why are you letting your guard down around this girl? Just because she's cute doesn't mean she's innocent! Eugene : I'm sorry, have you met Rapunzel? Flynn: Okay, fine, she's as naïve as they come, but seriously! Don't let her get in the way of the big master plan! Remember what that is? Show her the lanterns, get crown from her, then GET THE HECK OUTTA TOWN! Before the guards kill you! Eugene: I don't know... I can't just leave her in that infernal tower, with that freak show of a mother. Flynn: You haven't even met this woman, and you're judging her? You've only heard one side of the story, and frankly, it's a very biased version. You don't know what's true and what isn't. This whole thing could just be a big misunderstanding. Eugene: Rapunzel wouldn't lie. Flynn: How do you know? You only met her about ten hours ago! Eugene: True, but I've got that gut instinct about people. I usually know who I can trust, and who I can't. Rapunzel practically screams trust. Flynn: And you practically scream pathetic! What do you think is going to happen, huh? That she'll follow you? That she'll help you steal and wreak havoc and then go with you to some remote island? Puh-LEASE! She isn't that kind of girl! Eugene: Well, I know that ! And I would never ask her to change who she is. But . . . well, maybe... maybe I could change.WHOA. Where did that thought come from? I stop dead in my tracks. My breath comes in short, erratic spurts as my heart batters against my rib cage. I'm losing my mind. Thinking of changing for a girl? What happened to my dignity? What happened to my sense of self? Where's the fearless Flynn Rider? I'll tell you! He's back in that damn tower. Meanwhile, Eugene is falling head over heels for a certain young blonde... ). And the punch you deserved, but a dead animal's just disgusting. Well, uh, apology accepted. Uh And, I'm really sorry - about all that stuff, too. Well Should've known I wouldn't come at you with my right (If you say that someone is within their rights to do something 有权利, you mean that they are morally or legally entitled to do it. You were quite within your rights to refuse to co-operate with him.). Not again. Why? Is it, like, good manners to put the second black eye on the other side? Uh, I don't know about manners, but symmetry 对称 is more attractive. 13. You know that Bobby Dean had enemies? [Rachel scoffs] Most assholes do. People that would pin a murder on someone 嫁祸于人? You mean the someone that stole his strip club? Oh, please. I paid a fair price. A lot more than I needed to. Okay, I am starting to get the feeling that there is more to you than meets the eye 深不可测, at least more than good hair. And I'm not sure how I feel about it. Mm. I'm a businessman, Rachel. That's it. Yeah, look. I have no idea what Bobby Dean was into, okay? I avoided him like the clap when he was alive and I don't see why that should change now that he is dead. But here's what I do know. You, being here, being visible to customers I'm not sure that's good for business right now. You should stay away. Oh, yeah? At least, you know, camp out in the office or something till this gets sorted out. Yeah, fine. Although, let me ask you a question. Uh, what do you know about the name Snell? Well they've lived here as long as anyone can remember. Moved up into those hills when the dam was built. Lake swallowed up their ancestors' graves. Folks tell all kinds of tales about the devious things that are going on on that farm, but who knows what is just urban legend. 14. How'd Bobby look when they fished him out 打捞出来? Like a peeled pumpkin. Mm. Let that be a lesson to you, Ash. Never trust a redneck when you need the job done right. Yes, ma'am. And this Byrde man Martin Byrde. Said his employer wouldn't allow it. His exact words. Even after he saw the body? I watched Sheriff Nix fish it out right in front of him. All of which means he's more afraid of his boss than he is of us. Only question is, does he have reason to be? Ash! Now, you know what you need to do for us now, don't you? About Mr. Byrde. Yes, ma'am. Best get to it, then.
