星期五 在农场 片段选自《笨人晚宴》 Dinner For Schmucks 01:14:06--01:14:54

Kiernan: Have you ever just spent five months living with a herd of goats, as one of them? No?
基兰：你有没有试过花五个月时间，跟一群山羊住在一起，假装自己也是山羊。有吗？
Barry: No.
巴瑞：没有。
Kieran: That surprises me. The thing about a goat is, it never denies itself what it's hungry for.
基兰：让我很震惊，山羊告诉我的是，你永远不会否认你所追求的。
Barry: A goat will eat anything. A goat could probably eat a bike.
巴瑞：山羊什么都吃，连自行车都能吃。
Kieran: A goat could eat itself, if it was driven to it. I'm just a goat...who's halfway through eating itself.
基兰：山羊也可能把自己吃掉，如果那就是他心中所想。我就是一头山羊……正在不断啃食自己。
Barry: Just to be clear, what exactly are we talking about?
巴瑞：确认一下，我们到底在聊什么？
Kieran: Everything.
基兰：世间万物。
