Joe: Are you going to tell me about the stamp, or not?

Mary: 120 British pounds. But there are still three days left in the auction. If you want it, you'll have to bid. Do you have the guts?

Joe: I'm just asking. It's not like I'd actually make a bid.

Mary: Just don't come looking to me for help.

Joe: Don't worry. I won't.

Mary: I'm signing off.

Joe: Have fun getting ripped off!

参考译文
乔︰你到底要不要跟我说邮票的事嘛？

玛丽︰一百二十英镑。但离结标还有三天。如果你想要的话，就要去竞标。你有胆吗？

乔︰只是问问罢了。这又不代表我真的会去竞标。

玛丽︰那就别来找我帮忙。

乔︰别担心。不会的。

玛丽︰我要下线了。

乔︰祝你破财愉快！
