-Last week there was a man outside our door screaming, "I've been stabbed." And all you did was yell, "Shut up."
-Because he said, "I think I've been stabbed." You're either stabbed, or you're not stabbed.
-上周咱们门外有个人尖叫着，"我被捅啦"，而你却只吼了一句"闭嘴"。
-因为他说的是"我觉得我被捅了"，你要么被捅了，要么没被捅，哪来的"觉得"。
Caroline与Max谈论晚上家门外的轶事，Max对人被捅无动于衷，但一只猫在外面叫却让她大发爱心。

And it always starts out innocently, rescuing a stray, but then you have to get another one so that they can entertain each other while you're at work. And then somewhere along the line, four more sneak in, and you think, "We're good. We're cool. We're the cute girls with six cats." And then, one day, there you are on animal cops, screaming, "Don't take my babies! These 27 angels is all I got!"
因为起初觉得没啥关系，不过是收养一只流浪猫。可是接着你就会多收留一只，以便你在上班的时候，让它们能够互相作伴。接下来事情便一发不可收拾，又有四只偷偷溜了进来，你心里想，"没问题 顶得住，我们是养了六只猫的可爱小姑娘"。可有朝一日你便会冲着动物警察尖叫道"别带走我的孩子!这27个小天使是我生命的全部!"
Caroline描述收养流浪猫一发不可收拾的情况。
