Cam: It's a terrific gym, Jay. Very liberal with the towels. I love that.
卡姆：这间体育馆太棒了，杰。提供毛巾很大方，我喜欢这样的。
Jay: Showers are private, in case you are wondering.
杰：顺便告诉你，他们是独立浴室的。
Cam: I wasn't, but thanks for the heads-up. Wow, that's a surprise...boxers.
卡姆：我倒不很在乎，不过谢谢你提醒。哦，真惊喜啊。你穿的是平角裤。
Jay: Is that necessary?
杰：有必要吗？
Cam: Well, I just always pictured you as a tighty-white guy.
卡姆：我一直想象你是那种穿白三角裤的。
Jay: Well, do me a favor-the next time you picture me, leave the underwear out of it.
杰：帮帮忙好吗？下次你再想象我，不要想内衣内裤那一部分了。
Cam: Well, don't worry. The only thing I'm picturing is how clean the floor is gonna be when I'm done mopping it with you.
卡姆：别担心，我现在一心想的就是，那块地板会不会像你的分数那样光光的。
