荧屏情景：

星期二 转寄信件 片段选自《触不到的恋人》 The Lake House 12:38--13:06

Kate: Dear Mr. Wyler, I'm very familiar with the Sandburg cottage... and I can guarantee I never lived there. I'm old-fashoined, but I don't think a cottage should be over 6000 sqpare feet. So let me try again. I used to live at the lake house, and then I moved. Now I live at 1620 North Racine in Chicago. I'd appreciate it if you would forward my mail if you get any. Oh, by the way, it's 2006.
凯特：亲爱的维勒先生，我很熟悉辛博格别墅，但我可以保证我绝对没有住过那里。虽然我很过时，但我不认为一栋小别墅会有6000平方英尺。容许我再解释一遍，我曾经住在湖边的房子里，后来我搬走了。现在我住在芝加哥北雷辛区1620号，如果你帮我把信转寄过来我会很感激你的。对了，现在是2006年。
