精彩對白：

Maggie: Pancakes! Hi, kitty.

Tel: Hey, Ash. It's me, David. Uh, big art opening tonight at Station "A" Gallery. Meet you there at 7:00? Don't break my heart.

Dana: David Pennington. Another date.

Ashley: I'm not going.

Maggie: Why not? It's a chance with a great guy.

Ashley: No. It's a chance to get hit by a bus. Maggie...your black cat is crossing my path. Not good.

Maggie: Come on, Pancakes. Don't be scared of the superstitious, mean lady.

Ashley: I'm not superstitious, but it's true. I mean, it's bad luck. Dane, how's my scope?

Dana: Leo. Leo. "Your moon is in Uranus." - Ooh.

Ashley: Doesn't sound pretty.

Maggie: He could have canceled. Isn't that proof enough...that this whole bad luck thing is totally bogus?

Ashley: I don't think so.

Maggie: Ashley, unlucky girls...don't get asked out by one of Us Weekly's most eligible bachelors. Unlucky girls sit and watch their more fortunate friends get asked out...while they sit at home and watch Oprah and eat last year's Halloween candy.

Dana: That's true.

Ashley: You're right.

Maggie: Of course I'm right. Go get ready.

Ashley: You know what? Maybe I'm not cursed. You know, I'm just looking at things the wrong way. And these setbacks could just be opportunities.

Maggie: Of course.

Dana: Exactly.

Maggie: Because when one door closes...

Ashley: Two others open.

Ashley: Okay. I'm turning over a new leaf, and my good luck starts now.

Maggie: Good.

Ashley: It's okay.

Maggie: Did you just put that back in your eye?

Ashley: It was my last one, guys.

Dana: That's really gross.

Ashley: Ow! My eye! But, you see, l... I'm on the list. I'm "plus one." David Pennington, plus one. Hi, David. - There he is. See? There he is.

David: Oh, hey.

Ashley: David Pennington. There.

David: No, no, no. There. She's... She's with me.

Ashley: Thank you. Oh! I'm okay. Fine.

David: Come on. I got a surprise for you.

Ashley: Oh, my God. Would you look at that big, ugly...brown pile of...

David: Uh, Ashley...

Ashley: It looked like it came out of the rear end of an elephant.

David: Ashley. Meet my mother, the artist.

Ashley: Hmm. The artist. Hi, Mrs. Pennington. You know, you look so much younger in person. Not that I mean you're old or anything.

Mrs. Pennington: David, if I'm going to listen to this, I'll need vodka.

David: Good idea. Waiter.

Man: Yes, sir.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. Don't break my heart：別讓我失望。Break one's heart的意思是“使某人很傷心”，例如：It almost broke my heart.(這差點讓我傷透了心）。

2. black cat：黑貓，西方的文化里黑貓是不吉利的，尤其是中世紀的歐洲，把黑貓看作邪惡的女巫的化身，會給人帶來厄運。所以Ashley覺得Maggie's black cat從她面前走過，會給自己帶來厄運。

3. scope：(算命用的)星占圖, 天宮圖。Ashley此處的意思是讓Dana幫自己看看星座運勢，因為她最近實在是霉運連連。

4. bogus：假的，偽造的。例如：The company was bogus, the prospectus was all got up.（那公司全屬子虛烏有，所謂的創辦計劃是胡編亂造出來的。）

5. ask out：約會，邀請外出。請某人出去吃午餐，就可以說成是ask someone out to lunch。

6. turn over a new leaf：翻開新的一頁，重新開始。They decided to give him a last opportunity to turn over a new leaf.（他們決定給他最后一次機會，讓他重新做人。）

7. gross：令人惡心的，令人不快的。Dana的意思是，Ashley把隱形眼睛從臟東西里撿起來戴上，這很讓人惡心。

8. rear end：臀部。Ashley沒有料到這是David的母親的作品，所以說它像是從“大象的屁股里拉出來的東西”，這可惹惱了David的母親。

9. in person：外貌上。You look so much younger in person意思就是“您本人看上去更年輕些”，這句話再次激怒了David的母親。此外，in person還有“親自”的意思，例如：You must come in person.（你必須親自來）。
