Mom: I expect people do that all the time.
妈妈：没想到你是第一个唱的。
Man: No, I think you two are the first.
男人：你们才是呢！
Mom: Sorry. I don't understand. How does that make you money? Do carol singers have to pay you 10 percent?
妈妈：对不起，我不明白。但是那个怎么赚钱呢？所有唱这首歌的歌手都要付一成吗？
Man: They should, but you can't always catch the little bastards. So, how often do you look after him? Marcus.
男人：是的，所以我才有经济来源啊！你和麦克斯多久见一次面？
Mom: Every once in a while. His mum's a little off-color sometimes.
妈妈：偶尔吧！他妈妈有点心情不顺。
Marcus: You call it off-color, I call it nuts.
麦克斯：心情不顺，依我看是疯掉了。
Mom: She's not nuts, Marcus. She just needs a weekend taking it easy. We'll have a nice picnic, and when you get home, she'll be all rested up, and ready to go.
妈妈：麦克斯，别这么说你妈，别这么刻薄。她只是需要一个周末放松放松，我们现在来一个快乐的野餐。让我们好好享受一下吧。当你回家的时候，她就休息好了，一切就绪了。
Man: My God! What the hell is that?
男人：天呀，这到底是什么？
Marcus: My mum's homemade bread.
麦克斯：我妈做的面包。
Man: It looks pretty good.
