儿子：是的，但是他已经道过歉了啊。
Girl: It doesn't make it any less wrong.
女儿：道过歉，也不能纠正错误的。
Mother: Okay, okay, it was my mistake. I should have called him back and I will. I will talk to your dad.
妈妈：好了，好了，是我的错。我应该打给他，我会打的。我会找你们爸爸谈的。
Boy: Why don't we talk to him, ask him everything?
儿子：为什么不能由我们来跟他问清楚？
Girl: What, like if he had a three-way?
女儿：问什么？他是不是有过“三向”？
Boy: It's not a three-way, it's a threesome.
儿子：不是“三向”，是三人游戏。
