英文台词

贝西：她们邀请我和她们一起打牌，她们真是友好。

保罗：在这条街上，千万别把好管闲事跟友好混为一谈，她们想揭露丑事。

Paul: What did those women want?

Beth: They invited me to play cards with them. But they were just being friendly.

Paul: On this street, never confuse being nosy with being friendly. They were digging for dirt.

Beth: So...Do you not want me to go?

Paul: No, no. You will go. Give them all sorts of meaningless information. And hopefully, they'll start to think of you as a friend.

Beth: But... if you don't like them, why do you want me to be friends with them?

Paul: In time, it will be useful.
