Luke: OK. I give up, Mom. 好吧。妈，我放弃了。 Mom: You're gonna get...braces! 你要……戴牙套了！ Luke: Braces?! Mom! Have you checked out a calendar lately? 牙套？！妈！你到底知不知道现在是民国几年啊？ Mom: Why? 怎么了？ Luke: I start high school in two weeks! High school! I can't have braces now! 我再过两星期就要念高中了！高中耶！我现在不能戴牙套！ Mom: Now is a good time for us to pay for them. They're expensive, you know. 我们现在刚好有钱负担你的牙套。你知道牙套很贵的。 Luke: I don't care if they're free! I don't want them! 就算免费我也不管！我不要牙套！
Dad: Luke, take it easy. 路克，别激动。 Luke: Dad, I'm going to look like a geek. A total loser! 爸，我看起来会像个怪胎。一个十足的窝囊废！ Dad: You'll only be half-finished with high school by the time the braces come off. 牙套拿下来的时候，你高中才读完一半。
Luke: Can I get them put on next year? 我可以明年再戴牙套吗？ Dad: No. Just think how nice your smile will be in a few years‘ time. 不行。想想再过几年你的笑容会有多美。 Luke: A few years might as well be an eternity, Dad. This isn't fair. Why don't I have a say in this? 爸，几年简直就跟直到世界末日一样。不公平。为什么这件事我都没有讨论的余地？
