Rufus:Oh, and it looks like a, very expensive thank-you gift.
Jenny:Dad, she has a closet the size of this apartment just full of them. See, her mom designed it.

Jenny:Which is why you don't wear dresses.
Rufus:Uh, one of a couple of reasons.
Jenny:Hey, you think the farm market is still open?

Rufus:You have no idea how much that hurts.

Rufus:我想我要多喝点咖啡。
Jenny:管用你就喝啦。
Rufus:你从哪弄来的裙子?
Jenny:Blair给的，帮她做请帖的谢礼。
Rufus:这份谢礼看起来价值不菲。
Jenny:她的衣橱跟我们家一样大, 里面塞满了这种衣服。都是她妈妈设计的嘛。
Rufus:她妈妈很有天赋, 但你自己给做的衣服更好。
Jenny:你不穿裙子才这么说。
Rufus:那是理由之一。
Jenny:花市还开着吗？
Rufus:开着，干嘛你想去？
Jenny:是啊。
Rufus:我觉得你是长大了不想跟爸爸一起出去了。
