新世纪走遍美国

U004 Celebrations Where's Kevin? I don't see him.

He's in the second row, Aunt Molly.

Will the Graduating Class of Boston Latin High School, please come forward and receive your diplomas?

...music school? Are you going to be a music teacher?

Maybe...or a performer or a songwriter, or all three.

Your mother always wanted to be a singer.

Kevin Patrick Casey.

Kevin! Over here.

Oh, that's my dad. I gotta go...I'll see you later.

Congratulations!

All right, stand over there. I want to get a picture. You too, Aunt Molly.All right, look this way. Say cheese!

Cheese !

Kevin, I'm proud to see that diploma in your hand.

We all are. Congratulations, Kevin.

Thanks.

Dad, stand next to Kevin. I want to get a picture of just the two of you. And I'm proud of you, too, Becky.

Me ? Why ?

Don't be so modest. When your mother died, you...you stepped right in and you became the mother. You took good care of Kevin and your Dad. Well...there was no one else.

We are sorry to inform you...Oh, no. I can't believe it...God....another rejection letter.

Three rejections. I can't believe it.

Three rejections. I can't believe it. What are you going to do?

I'm waiting to hear from one more school. They put me on their waiting list. Keep your fingers crossed.

Only one? Well, I hope they take you.

I'm supposed to hear this week.

Which college --the New England Conservatory?

No, they turned me down. It's the San Francisco College of Music.

San Francisco?

That's right. San Francisco, California.

Rebecca!

But, Rebecca, this school is on the other side of the country.

I know that, but if San Francisco accepts me and gives me some financial aid, that's where I'm going.

But you don't know a soul out there.

Yes, I do. My godmother lives out there.

What is she, rich or something? She has such a big house.

No, she's not rich, but she does have room for me if I get accepted.

You re really serious about this, aren't you?

Dead serious.

Come in.

When do we eat ?

In five minutes. Dinner's in the oven.

Dad's not eating. He went to bed.

What's wrong? Is he sick?

No. He just said he was tired.

So, did you hear anything about your applications...you know, to music school?

I got three rejection letters.

That's too bad. So, what're you going to do?

I still have one last hope...a school in San Francisco.

San Francisco...

Ow-oo.

What, Dad? Are you OK?

No!...The Red Sox lost another game.

Dad, you make me crazy. Is my purse out there?

Yeah. It's here.

What's this?

A college brochure. See you tonight.

Becky, pick up the mail, OK?

Pick up the mail? It s too early.

Yesterday's mail.

But, Dad, you always get the mail...

Well, I didn't yesterday. My leg was bothering me.

Oh, Trixy, that was a great walk. Here we are. Home again! Good momin Rebecca. How are you?

Good morning, Mrs. Peterson. Hi, Trixy.

Is the mail here already?

No. This is from yesterday.

Oh. Excuse us.

San Francisco! We are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted at the San Francisco...Oh, my God! I'm going...

Good news ?

I...I...very good news.

Hi...!

What's up with Rebecca?

I don't know.

Well, she certainly seems happy.

Good morning, Grace.

Sandy, I got the letter! I'm in!

What letter? You mean, the San Francisco school?

Look!

Dear Ms. Casey: Congratulations!...Oh my gosh, they accepted you! The San Francisco College of Music!...Oh, Rebecca...I'm so happy for you!

Can you believe it?

Guess what? Rebecca's going to college.

College!...Good for her.

And she's quitting her job, too, and moving to San Francisco.

She's quitting?

Would you give up your job in this economy? No way.

Well, it's Rebecca's dream. It's good to have dreams.

I've got an idea! Why don't you come to San Francisco with me!

San Francisco?...I don't think so.

Why not?

Well, first of all, I don't have any money.

I'll lend you some.

Don't be silly. You're not Rockefeller.

Come on. What's keeping you in Boston? Nothing!

Ain't that the truth...but it is home...I mean, my mother lives here... You and your mom don't even talk.

Well...there' s Jack...

Right...you and Jack...you know what I think about that!

But it's still home. Sorry, Rebecca, Boston's my town. Nice of you to ask, but no thanks.

Well, it was an idea.

San Francisco. Wait till Matt and your dad hear about this!

Dad?

Yeah?

We have to talk.

Uh-huh.

U005 Breaking the News Dad?

Yeah?

We have to talk.

Uh-huh.

I have some good news.

Oh?

This music school accepted me and they're offering financial aid and a partial scholarship. I...uh...they want me to be a student there.

When did you get this letter?

This moming.

This college is in San Francisco!

Yeah, I know.

My God, that's the other side of the earth!

Come on, Dad. It s only six hours by plane.

It's too far away. We'll never see you. Why don't you go to school around here?

All the music schools in Boston turned me down.

What about a nice community college...a good teacher's college...

I want to study music. This is the only music school that accepted me. What about Kevin? What about us?

Kevin's almost eighteen, he can take care of himself. And with a little help from him, you'll be fine, too. This is my big chance.

So, what do you want from me?

I...um...nothing. Just your approval.

You want my approval? No way.

What?

N-O. No way.

That's it? End of conversation?

What do you want me to say...that I'm thrilled? I gave you my opinion,

but you don't care.

But, Dad. This is something I really want to do.

There's a lot I want to do, too. But you don't always get what you want

in this world.

But, I'm not going forever. I'll call. I'll visit.

Visit? Who's gonna pay for that?

I will.

And where are you going to live out there? Rebecca, do you know how expensive it is to live on your own?

Yes, I do. I have a place to stay.

I don't understand...

Rent-free.

Where?

At Nancy Shaw's.

That woman! Where's my cane?

I know you don't like Nancy, but she is my godmother.

Does your brother know about this?

Not yet.

I'm going to bed.

That school in San Francisco accepted you?

Yeah. They gave me financial aid, too...

So what are you gonna do?

Dad really wants me to stay, but I'm going.

When do you have to leave?

In a few weeks. Kevin, the truth. Is it all right with you if I go?

Go for it!

Thanks...You're a pal.

Don't worry about Dad. He'll get used to it.

You think so?

I'm sure of it...Besides, then I can have your room.

My room! You little...my room! I'm not even out of here yet and you want my room?

It's ten o'clock. Come on. It's break time.

You want to get a soda?

No. I need a cigarette. So...

No, you don't.

Yes, I do.

Sandy, when are you going to quit smoking?

Tomorrow.

So? What did they say?

I haven't told Matt yet. Kevin thinks it's great. My dad is definitely not happy!

He's mad, huh?

Yeah...Well, today's the day. It's time to let the boss know I'm leaving. You're going to quit...just like that?

Well, I have to give them a two-week notice, right? Then...I'm out of here.

Oh, I can't believe it.

Well, it s true...Hey, I need some new clothes...you want to go shopping after work?

OK.

What are we looking for?

I've got plenty of jeans and casual stuff for class. What I really need is something dressy for California. I've got zilch.

How about this?

Too formal. This is pretty. Where's the price tag?

Two hundred dollars! And it's on sale?

Who can afford this stuff?

This is 30 percent off-only sixty dollars.

I like it. Do they have your size?

Mmm...Size six, perfect. I m going to try it on.

Listen, I have to tell you a big secret. My mom doesn't even know.

What ?

I'm moving in with Jack.

You're what? The two of you are always fighting!

Well...things change.

Yeah, but people don't.

Look, I'm going to do it. Period. I know you don't think it's a good idea, so let's just change the subject.

Sandy, I just want you to be happy, that's all. This thing with you and Jack is just...

Look...I think I can make it work.

It looks great.

I don't know. Maybe it's too...

It's perfect.

All right.

When do you have to leave?

In a few weeks.

Do you have your plane ticket?

No, of course not.

You'd better hurry up. It's cheaper if you buy your ticket a few weeks in advance.

I am not flying; I'm driving to San Francisco.

Drive? All by yourself? Are you crazy?

No, practical. I'll need a car in San Francisco, right? Anyway, I want to see the Southwest. So, why not buy a car here and drive it out there? You are nuts! So, what kind of car are you gonna get?

The best car I can get for fifteen hundred dollars.

Hello. Can I help you folks?

We're just looking, thanks.

Are you looking for anything special?

She's looking for a car to drive across country.

Gotcha! So you want something you can count on...

Yeah.

I have something for you right over here...It's in A-l condition. New tires, excellent engine...It's a Florida car.

Oh, no! That's much too expensive...

Well, for you, I can come down a little in the price. How much do you want to spend?

Fifteen hundred, max.

Fifteen hundred, max!!! I don't think so...I haven't really got anything for you...But I've got a friend who sells cars about four blocks from here...

I need something to eat. Do you want anything?

No, thanks.

Hi.

Hi.

Kevin and I went looking at used cars...for my trip. They're all so expensive.

Unh-huh.

This is silly. Would you please talk to me?

OK.

Everyone has to leave home...sometime.

Dad, I'm leaving pretty soon.

I know.

I don't want to leave with you angry at me.

I'm not angry.

Try to be happy for me.

I just don't see why you have to go so far away.

Dad, it's something I really want to do...

I know, I know. But I don't have to like it, do I?

U006 Saying Goodbye Hi, Miss Casey. I'm sorry I'm late for my lesson.

Hi, Melissa, how are you doing?

Fine.

Good. Listen, before we begin, I have to tell you something.

What?

I m going back to school.

You are? Why?

To study music.

But you're the best music teacher, and you know lots of music.

Thanks, but I want to be better...But I'm sad because the school is far away and I won't be...

Where is it?

San Francisco.

Where's that?

We're here...and San Francisco's all the way over here, in California.

I won't be able to see you?

Yes, I'm leaving, but, let's see, we have one more lesson. I'll try to find you a good teacher, OK?

OK.

What do you want to play first?

Can we play the blues?

Sure. You know Travelin' Blues, right?

Yeah.

Let s play that.

OK.

A Major.

What do you think, Frank...am I nuts?

No, you're not crazy. Rebecca's twenty-eight. I mean, it's about time she got a car...

Hey, what do you think of this one here?

No way! Look at the price!

She needs a small car-something she can drive around Boston.

Frank...she's driving all the way to San Francisco.

San Francisco?

Yeah, alone.

She's gonna drive three thousand miles...by herself?...Is that safe?

I think she should fly if she insists on going, but she said she'd rather put the money in a car that she can use when she's out there.

I'd never drive that far by myself. You know that daughter of yours is pretty independent. Hey, now here's a car to drive across country.

She got into a good school, Frank. The San Francisco College of Music.

Music school? That'll never pay off. You can't make any money in music. You're telling me! I thought she should go to a local college.

Well, that makes more sense to me. So why does she have to go all the way to San Francisco?

Well, the school out there accepted her...and they offered her financial help.

Well that's good, right?

I guess so.

Hey, if you're so worried about this, why don't you talk her out of it?

I can't change her mind. She's all fired up about the idea. Says it's her dream.

Yeah, but dreams don't pay bills.

Yeah, well there's nothing I can do...If this is what she wants, maybe I can help her with a car.

Well, if she's gonna be driving, you know, all the way across country, she's gotta have a decent car.

Hey...hey, here's one of those what do you call it Oldsmobile Deltas? Yeah, Oldsmobile Delta.

Hey, looks in tip-top shape, look.

Oh, you don't know about used cars, Frank. Whew! 80,000 miles.

Oh, that's a lot of miles! You know we have to take a close look at the engine, the tires, the doors, everything...

It's a lot of money, Frank. I don't wanna get ripped off.

You have to watch these used car salesmen.

I don't know...Do I wanna do this?

She'll love you for it.

You think so?

Yeah...there, come on, let's take a look.

Whew, watch that one...Hey, looks clean, no oil leaks.

That's a lotta mileage, Frank...Let's have that mechanic of yours, what's his name . .

Sammy?

Yeah.

Yeah. We'll tell the salesman we want our mechanic to take a look at it before we pay anything.

And we take it for a test drive, too.

You got it.

OK. Let's make a deal.

What's the score?

Three to nothing.

Three to nothing?

All right, Mary!

C'mon, Mary. You can do it, Mary. Put it right by her now, Mary. C'mon, she's no batter, let's go Mary!

That a girl, Becky !

Come on, Becky, beat the bums!

So how do you feel about Rebecca leaving home?

Uh, I don't know. I'm OK, I guess.

You're going to miss her, aren't you?

Yeah, but at least I get to move into her room. Hey, don't take all my potato chips!

Don't be so stingy!

Come on, girl-put it in there, one more out! Lets go, Mary!

Safe!

She is not!

Is too.

Is not.

Safe. End of discussion.

Oh, this is ridiculous, she was...she was out, there was no...

Twenty-two to two, what happened to you?

Hey, how about a little sympathy? I lost my last softball game.

Poor you! You can't do it all by yourself. If it wasn't for that umpire...

Yeah, I think he was working for the other team.

What the heck, it's only a game, right?

I think I'm heading home. I'll see you later.

All right, thanks for coming.

Oh, it was fun...seeing you get beat!

You're supposed to be cheering me on...

Tomorrow night we'll go car hunting again?

Absolutely...Bye.

Bye, Sandy.

Bye! Thanks for the potato chips!

Hey, the team's going to the Sports Bar, do you wanna come?

I can't. Jack and I are going to the movies.

I still don't know what you see in that guy.

You're not me, OK?

Now, when are you leaving for San Francisco?

A week from Saturday. I drive out real early.

Let's hope you have a car by then...

I will!

Oh, make room, move that glove.

Oh my gosh! You guys, you didn't have to do this, this is too much!

OK.

You're in our hearts, as you well know...We'll think of you, wherever you go. You'll be a hit in San Francisco! Thanks.

OK, hurry up, hurry up!

What did you guys get me?

A Red Sox jacket! This is great!

What a great present. Thanks, you guys! Ah, what to say...Well, we didn't win many games, but we had more fun than any other team in the league...and I'm never gonna forget the Silver Stars. I'm gonna miss you guys.

Don't replace me too soon, OK?

Hey, Matt! What are you doing here?

I got out of work late. I called your house. And Kevin told me you'd be here. Nice jacket.

Thanks, its a present from the team.

They're gonna miss you. You're their star player.

I wasn't today. We lost, twenty-two to two.

Ouch.I think we need to have a talk.

Look, if it's about my decision to go to San Francisco, I'm not going to change my mind.

I realize that.

But I'll be back to visit...and you can come and see me.

No, let's not kid ourselves. Four years of college in California will pretty much end our relationship.

Lots of people have long-distance relationships.

Not me. I'm not a long-distance kind of guy. All our friends are getting married. They're having kids. I thought we were next.

See, Becky, you and I...we have different dreams...I think it's better to call quits.

Is it?

I think so.

Look, I'm sorry you feel this way, but I'm never going to be happy if I don't try this. I'm sorry.

s

凯文在哪？我没看到他。

他在第二排，茉莉姨妈。

波士顿拉丁高中毕业班请走到前面来接受你们的证书。

...音乐学院？你想成为音乐教师？

也许...或者是演员或作曲家，或三者都是。

你妈妈一直想成为歌唱家。

凯文·帕特里克·凯西

凯文！过来。

哦，那是我父亲，我得走了...回头见。

祝贺你。

好的，站那边。我要照张相，你也来，茉莉姨妈。好的，

看这边，说CHEESE。

CHEESE

凯文，看你手拿证书我很骄傲。

我们都很骄傲。祝贺你，凯文。

谢谢。

爸爸，站在凯文旁边。我想给你们俩来一张。

我也为你骄傲，贝琪。

我？为什么？

别这么谦虚。你妈妈死的时候...你站了出来，你成了妈妈

。你把你的父亲和凯文照顾得很好。

是的...没有其他人。

我们很抱歉地通知您...哦，不。我无法相信...天哪...又

一封拒绝信。

三封拒绝信，我简直无法相信。

三封拒绝信。我无法相信，你打算怎么办？

我在等下一所学校的消息。我在他们的候选名单上。祝我

好运吧。

唯一的一所？哦，我希望他们接收你。

这个星期我该得到消息。

哪所大学？---新英格兰艺术学校？

不，他们拒绝我了。是旧金山音乐学院。

旧金山？

是的。旧金山，加利福尼亚。

丽贝卡！

但是，丽贝卡，这所学校在这个国家的另一边。

我知道，但是如果旧金山接收我并给我一部分奖学金，我

就去那里。

但是你在那里一个人都不认识。

不，我认识。我教母在那边住。

她是干什么的？很有钱吗？她有一栋大房子。

不，她不是有钱人，但如果我被录取了她会给我地方住。

你是认真的，是吗？

绝对认真。

请进。

什么时间吃饭？

再等五分钟，饭菜在烤箱里。

父亲不吃饭，他上床了。

怎么了，他病了吗？

不，他说他只是累了。

那么，你的申请有什么消息了吗？...你知道，是指音乐学

院。

我收到了三封拒绝信。

太糟糕了。那么，你要打算怎么办？

我还有最后一线希望...旧金山的一所学校。

旧金山...

哦...

怎么了，爸爸？你还好吗？

不好！...红袜子队又输了一场比赛。

爸爸，你简直让我发疯。我的书包在那儿吗？

对，在这。

这是什么？

一所学校的材料。晚上见。

贝琪，别忘了拿信。

拿信？太早了。

昨天的信件。

可是，爸爸，通常是你取信...

是的，可昨天我没取。我的腿不舒服。

哦，特里克西，散步真好。我们回来了，又到家了。早上好，丽贝卡，你好吗？

早上好，皮特森夫人，嗨，特里克西。

已经有信来了？

不，这是昨天的。

哦，请原谅。

旧金山！我们很高兴地通知您，您已经被我校录取了...哦，天哪！我要去...

好消息？

我...我...非常好的消息。

嗨...！

丽贝卡怎么了？

不知道。

是的，她看起来很高兴。

早上好，格蕾斯。

桑蒂，我收到信了。我被录取了。

什么信？你是说，那所旧金山的学校？

看！

亲爱的凯西小姐：祝贺你！...哦，天哪，他们录取你了。旧金山音乐学院！...哦，丽贝卡...我真为你高兴！

你相信了吧？

猜怎么着？丽贝卡要去念大学了。

大学！....太好了。

她还要辞去工作，搬到旧金山去。

她辞工？

这样的经济条件下你会辞工吗？不可能。

不过，这是丽贝卡的梦想。有梦想真好。

我有个好主意。你为什么不同我一起去旧金山？

旧金山？...不行。

为什么？

哦，首先，我没有钱。

我借你一些。

别傻了。你又不是洛克菲勒。

行了。什么让你离不开波士顿？什么也没有！

事实不是这样的....可这里有家...我是说，我妈妈生活在这里...

你甚至不和你妈妈说话。

那么...这里有杰克。

这就对了...你和杰克...你知道我怎么想你和杰克！

这里毕竟是家。很抱歉，丽贝卡，波士顿是我长大的地方。谢谢你的邀请，可是不行，谢谢。

好吧，只是个想法。

旧金山。等着听听麦特和你父亲的想法吧。

爸爸？

什么事？

我们得谈谈。

哦。

ews

爸爸？

什么事？

我们得谈谈。

哦。

我有个好消息。

哦？

这所音乐学院录取我了，而且他们给我提供经济资助和部

分奖学金。我...呃...他们想让我去那里学习。

你什么时候接到这封信的？

今天早晨。

这所学院在旧金山。

是的，我知道。

天哪，在地球的另一端。

行了，爸爸。坐飞机只要6个小时。

太远了。我们再也不会见到你。为什么不去这里附近的学

校？

所有波士顿的音乐学院决绝我了。

好的社区学院呢？....一个有好教师的学院...

我想学音乐。这是唯一一所录取我的音乐学院。

凯文怎么办？我们怎么办？

凯文快18岁了。他会照顾自己。他也可以帮你。这是我的

好机会。

那么，你要我做什么？

我...什么也不要。只是要你的批准。

你要我的批准。不行。

什么？

Ｎ－Ｏ，不行。

就这些？谈话结束？

你要我说什么....恐吓我？我告诉你我的意见，可你听不

进去。

可是，爸爸。这是我真正想做的事情。

我也有很多想做的事情。可在这个世界上你不能总是做想

做的事情。

可是，我不是永远不回来，我会打电话，我会看你们。

看我们？谁来付钱呢？

我会的。

那么，你在那边住什么地方？丽贝卡，你知道自己住是很

贵的吗？

是的，我知道。我有地方住。

我不明白...

免租金。

什么地方？

在南希·萧家。

那个女人！我的拐杖在哪？

我知道你不喜欢南希，但她是我教母。

你弟弟知道这件事吗？

还不知道。

我去睡了。

旧金山那所学院录取你了？

是的，他们还给了我经济资助......

那么，你怎么办？

爸爸非让我留下，可我要走。

你什么时候离开？

几个星期以后。凯文，说真话。假如我走了，你真的会没事？

走吧！

谢谢......你真够朋友。

别担心爸爸，他会习惯的。

你这么认为？

我肯定......另外，以后我可以用你的房间。

我的房间！你这小子......我的房间。我还没离开你就想占我的房间？

十点了，来吧，现在是休息时间。

你想来杯软饮料吗？

不，我要支烟，那么...

不，你不能吸烟。

不，我可以。

桑蒂，你什么时候打算戒烟？

明天。

怎么样？他们怎么说？

我还没告诉麦特。凯文认为太棒了。我父亲却一点也不高兴。

他疯了吗，啊？

是的....好吧，就在今天...是该通知老板我要离开了。你要辞职...就这么样了？

对，我得提前两个星期通知他们，对吗？然后...就离开这里。

哦，我真不敢相信。

是的，这是真的...嘿，我需要一些新衣服...你下班去买东西吗？

好的。

我们找什么？

我已经有一大堆上课穿的牛仔裤和随意的衣服。我要的是在加州穿的衣服，我一件都没有。

这件怎么样？

太正经。这件很漂亮。价签在哪？

两百美圆。这是大减价吗？

谁买得起这东西？

这件降价30%，只要60美圆。

我喜欢。他们有你的号码吗？

嗯，六号，太好了。我穿上试试。

听着，我得告诉你一个大秘密，连我妈妈都不知道。

是什么？

我搬到杰克那里去了。

你什么？你们俩总打架。

可是...现在不一样了。

哦，但人不会变。

你瞧，我真的打算这么做。话说到此，我知道你不认为这是个好主意，那咱们换个话题。

桑蒂，我只想让你高兴，仅此而已。你和杰克这件事只是...

好吧...我想我会处理好的。

看起来太棒了。

我不知道，也许太...

非常好。

好吧。

你什么时候离开？

几个星期以后。

有机票了吗？

没有，当然没有。

你最好抓紧。你如果提前几个星期买机票会便宜。

我不坐飞机，我开车去旧金山。

开车？一路自己开？你疯了吗？

没有，这很实用。我在旧金山需要一辆车，对吗？总之，

我要去西南转转。所以，干吗不在这买辆车开过去呢？

你真疯了。那么，你打算要一辆什么车？

我能负担得起的最好车子是1500美元。

你好。能帮您做点什么？

我们只是看看，谢谢。

在找什么特别的车？

她在找一辆能够开着穿越全国的车。

天哪！那么你要买的车一定得靠得住...

是的。

我那边有你要的东西...车况一流。新轮胎，引擎非常

好...是一辆佛罗里达车。

哦，不。太贵了...

那好，为了您，价格我可以让一点。你打算花多少钱？

最多一千五。

一千五，最多！！！这恐怕不行......我这里没有你要的

东西...但离这里四个街区我的一个朋友卖车。

我需要吃些东西，你来点什么？

不，谢谢。

嗨。

嗨。

凯文和我在找二手车...为了我的旅行。可那些车都很贵。

嗯...嗯。

这真蠢。和我说说话好吗？

好吧。

每个人都要离开家......总有一天。

爸爸，我很快就要走了。

我知道。

我不想离开时你生我的气。

我不生气。

试着为我高兴点。

我只是不明白你为什么要去这么远。

爸爸，这是我真正想要做的...

我知道，我知道。但我不必非得喜欢这主意，可以吗？

ye

你好，凯西小姐。对不起我迟到了。

你好，梅丽莎，最近怎么样？

很好。

很好。听着，在我们开始前，有些事要告诉你。

什么事？

我要回学校。

你？为什么？

去学音乐。

可你是最好的音乐老师，你懂很多音乐知识。

谢谢，但我想更好...我很伤心因为学校太远，我不能...学校在哪？

旧金山

旧金山在哪？

我们在这...旧金山在这里，在加利福尼亚州。

我再也见不到你了？

是的，我马上就要离开，不过，让我们看看，我们还有一节课。我会尽量给你找一个好老师，好吗？

好吧。

首先你想弹什么？

我们弹蓝调好吗？

当然。你会旅行蓝调，对吗？

是的。

我们一起弹吧。

好的。

A 大调。

你觉得怎么样，弗兰克...我是疯了吗？

不，你没疯。丽贝卡已经二十八岁了。我是说，是她该有车的时候了...

嘿，你觉得这辆怎么样？

不行，看看这价格。

她需要一辆小车-- 那种可以围着波士顿开的车。

弗兰克...她要独自开车去旧金山。

旧金山？

是的，一个人。

她要开车走3000英里...她自己....这样安全吗？

我想如果她坚持走的话可以坐飞机，可她说要把钱用在车上，这样她到那边的时候可以用。

我自己从未开过那么远。你知道你的女儿很独立。嘿，这辆车可以开着穿越全国。

她进了一所好学校，弗兰克。旧金山音乐学院。

音乐学校？永远没有回报。你靠音乐赚不到任何钱。

这还用你说！我认为她应该上一所当地学校。

哦，我明白了。那么，她为什么要去旧金山上学？

是这样，那边的学校录取了她...并且为她提供经济资助。那很好，对吗？

我想是的。

嘿，如果你这么担心，为什么你不说服她？

我无法改变她的想法。她对此很激动，说那是她的梦想。是的，可梦想付不了帐单。

对呀，我没办法...如果这是她想要的，也许我能让她有辆车。

对，如果她要开车，你知道，穿越全国，她应该有一辆说得过去的车。

嘿...嘿...这就是你想要的奥斯墨比·德尔塔？

对，奥斯墨比·德尔塔。

嘿，一流的款式，看那。

噢，你不了解旧车，弗兰克。呜！八万英里。

哦，跑了这么多英里。你知道我们得仔细看看引擎，轮胎，车门，每一样东西...

一大笔钱，弗兰克。我不想被骗光。

你得看着点这些二手车推销员。

我不知道...我真要这么做吗？

她会因此更爱你的。

你这么想？

对....那边，来吧，咱们去看看。

喔，看那个...嘿，看起来很干净，没漏油。

跑的英里数太多了，弗兰克...把你的机械师找来，他叫什么名字...

撒米？

对。

好吧。我们得告诉推销员在我们付款之前得让我们的机械师看一下。

另外还要开着试一次。

就这么定了。

好吧，就这么定了。

几比几了？

三比零。

三比零？

好的，玛丽。

加油，玛丽。你能行，玛丽。把球投过她，玛丽。加油，她不堪一击，来吧，玛丽。

好丫头，贝琪。

加油，贝琪，打她屁股！

你对丽贝卡离开家的事怎么看？

哦，我不知道。我没问题，我想。

你会想她，不是吗？

对，可至少我可以搬到她的房间。嘿，别把我的薯片都拿走。

别这么小气。

加油，姑娘们，加油！再打一个出局！　咱们上，玛丽。上垒。

没有。

是上垒。

不是。

上垒。停止讨论。

哦，真荒谬，她...她出局了，那...

２２比２，你怎么了？

嘿，有点同情心好吗？我输了最后一场垒球赛。

真可怜。这不能全靠你一个人。如果不是因为裁判...对。我想他是在为那个队干活。

我才不在乎呢。只是一场比赛，对吗？

我该回家了，一会见。

好吧，谢谢你能来。

哦，很好玩...看你被打败。

你应该为我加油才对...

明晚我们还去找车？

一定....再见。

再见，桑蒂。

再见。谢谢你的薯片。

嘿，球队要去体育酒吧，你来吗？

我不能去。杰克和我去看电影。

我还是不明白你看上他什么了？

你不是我，对吗？

那么，你什么时候离开去旧金山？

从这周六起还有一周。一早开车出发。

希望到那时你会有辆车...

我会的。

哦，让点地方，拿开手套。

哦，天那！你们这帮家伙，你们不必这么做，这太隆重了好吧。

你在我们心中，如你所知...我们会想念你，无论你在哪里。你会成为旧金山的明星。谢谢。

好吧，快点，快点。

你们给我送了什么？

一件红袜子棒球衫！太棒了！

礼物太好了！谢谢你们！哦，怎么说...好吧，我们赢得不多，可我们比联赛中其他的球队有更多的欢乐...我永远不会忘记银星队，我会想念你们的，伙计们。

不要马上找人替我，好吗？

嘿，麦特！你在这干吗？

我下班晚了。我给你家里打电话。凯文告诉我你在这...很漂亮的夹克衫。

谢谢，这是球队的礼物。

她们会想念你的。你是她们的球星。

今天不是，我们输了，２２比２。

哦。我想我们得谈谈。

听着，如果是关于我去旧金山的决定，我不会改变想法。我意识到了。

但是，我会回来看你们的...另外，你可以来看我。

不，别跟自己开玩笑了。在加州的四年学习会结束我们的恋爱关系。

很多人距离遥远仍彼此相爱。

我不行。我不是那种相距遥远仍相爱的人。我们所有的朋友都结婚了，并且有了孩子。我以为接下来该是我们了。贝琪，你和我....我们有不同的梦想...我想我们最好分开。

真的吗？

我想是的。

你瞧，我很抱歉你这么想，可如果我不去尝试这次机会我永远都不会快乐。我很抱歉。
