　　Carl离婚后成了一个极度自闭的人，他拒绝接听任何电话，包括他最好朋友Peter的电话。当他的谎言被Peter揭穿，无奈地被Peter拉去酒吧时，Peter开心地宣布他和女友订婚了，但是Carl对此漠不关心。就在这时，Carl发现他的前妻Stephanie也在酒吧……　　
　　影片对白：
　　Carl: No. No means no. Bonjour.
　　Carl, I know it’s you.
　　Carl: Oh. Hey, man. I was just about to call you. That’s so weird. Had your number dialed, was about to press “send”. Did you block your number?
　　Peter: Yeah, I did. You never answer when I don’t. So, what are you doing?
　　Carl: Oh, just hanging out in my apartment.
　　Peter: You did get my text, right?
　　Carl: What? Text? What?
　　Peter: We’re all going out tonight.
　　Carl: Man, that sounds great. I wish I could join you. I’m just so jammed up. I’m totally off the grid, you know?
　　Peter: No, I don’t at all.
　　Carl: I got a bunch of stuff going on. There’s this thing I gotta do. Any other night would’ve been great. Darn it to heck.
　　Peter: Thing? What thing?
　　Carl: Thing, you know, just a thing. If I had my thing in front of me, I could tell you what it is...but I know there’s a thing.
　　Peter: A thing. I don’t think there’s anything written down in your fake calendar.
　　Carl: No, it says specific things.
　　Peter: Specific things. Like "get in line at the video store "?
　　Carl: What? What are you talking about? I’m not at the video store. I’m in my apartment.
　　Peter: I can see you, Carl. I’m outside the video store.
　　Carl: That’s not me.
　　Peter: It’s not?
　　Carl: Oh, I know what’s happening. There is this guy who looks just like me...who goes to a lot of the same stores I do. That’s probably who you’re seeing. 来源：考试大

　　Carl: What?
　　Peter: No. No. Carl, you’re gonna stay. It’s been three years. You can’t leave every time she comes around.

　　妙语佳句 活学活用
　　1. Bonjour: 法语，“你好”。
　　2. Did you block your number: 你把来电号码屏蔽了？Peter故意这样做，因为他知道如果Carl看见是自己的手机号，他肯定不会接电话。
　　3. hang out: 闲荡，闲呆着。例如：
　　do a lot of hanging out in barrooms（常上酒吧泡着）
　　hang out还有“居住，住宿，经常出没” 的意思。例如：
　　Do you know where he hangs out?（你知道他住在什么地方？）
　　4. jammed up: 表示因为压力而感到焦虑和紧张。请看例子：
　　The stress of this golf tournament has Keith all jammed up.
　　这次高尔夫联赛让基斯感到压力很大。来源：考试大
　　5. off the grid: 没有上社交网（例如facebook之类）。影片中Carl指他忙得都没时间和朋友交流了。
　　6. Darn it to heck: 真见鬼，该死！darn的意思是“该死”，是damn一词的委婉表达。heck则是hell的委婉表达，在感叹句中加强语气，表示诅咒、恼怒、厌烦等，可翻译为“真见鬼”。来源：www.examda.com
　　7. in exact sync with: 与……完全同步。in sync表示“同步的，协调的”。反之，out of sync就是“不同步的，不协调的”。看一下例子：
　　There was something out of sync with him.（他有点儿别扭。）
　　8. hung up the spurs: 罢手不干，引退。Rooney因为已经很久没在酒吧看见Carl了，还以为他戒了酒，在家修身养性。
　　9. pending: 悬而未决的。例如：a pending lawsuit（未判决诉讼案件）。pending还表示“行将发生的，迫近的”。例如：a pending civil strife（即将发生的内乱）。
　　10. open bar: （婚礼、招待会等的）免费酒柜、酒吧间。
　　11. fall for: 受……的骗，上……的当，对……信以为真。Peter还以为Carl为了避开当前话题而编谎话。看一下例子：We must not fall for such nonsense.（我们决不能听信这种胡言乱语。）采集者退散
　　fall for还有“对……倾心，迷恋”的意思。请看例子：
　　Dick fell for baseball when he was a little boy. 当迪克还是小孩时就迷上棒球了。
　　She fell for him at first sight. 她对他一见钟情。
