职员：这个数目太大，我不能批。
Gina: But didn't you read my business plan or my letters of recommendation?
吉娜：但是请问您有没有读我的商业计划和我的推荐信？
Staff: All very impressive, but... But... Miss Norris, see, you're missing what we like to call here at Southern Mutual and Savings "the three C's." Credit, collateral.
职员：都非常棒，但是……但是莫里斯小姐，你没注意到我们的“南部原则”，必须是“三C”储户。信用，抵押物……
Gina: Color.
吉娜：肤色。
Staff: No. I was gonna say capital, which is something that you could earn by acquiring one of our secured credit cards, as opposed to you throwing around your...race one. And that's my lunch calling me, but nature's calling me first. So, Miss Norris, good day to you.
职员：不是的，我要说的是资金。但是你可以得到一个我们担保的信用卡，与你所说的种族原因正相反。我该去吃午饭了，不过得先去下洗手间。那么，希望您今天过得愉快，莫里斯小姐。
