When I got to the club, it had already closed. By the next day, some super inconsiderate person had taken my umbrella. But by that point, I didn't care. I knew that if I really wanted to end poverty, I had to get a degree in economics. So... to answer your question, that's how I got here.
inconsiderate 思いやりのない
I meant, how did you get here from the subway station?
Oh.
But I'm only asking cause I just moved to town. I don't even have a place to live yet.
Yeah, you do. Come live with me. My roommate just moved out.
Are you sure? You just met me. I could be a serial killer.
I like to believe in people. Plus, what are the chances that we're both serial killers?
Just promise me there won't be any naked men in the living room.
Not a problem. I'm on permanent hiatus in the love department.
hiatus 空白
Really? I find that hard to believe.
I guess I'm old-fashioned. I believe that each of us only gets one. And I got mine already.
Well, if you ask me, you know what comes after the one? The next one.
Oh, yeah. Well, I don't really see that happening any time soon.
Hi. Is this room seven? And so, if you must bring food to this class, please bring enough for everyone. I don't want to see someone eating, say, lobster, in the front row without sharing with the rest of of us. Because that... would be shellfish.
Come on, that was funny.
Anyway... ...this is Architecture 101.
Architecture 101? Oh, no, I'm in the wrong class! I have to go!
Oh, sorry. Um... Oh, God. Wait, I was in the right class.
First day as a professor, wrong classroom, coming through!
You play bass? Seriously, ask my friends. I always say my ideal woman... ...does not play bass, because this is clearly your roommate's.
She's in a band.
Damn, that's cool.
This is unbelievable. You just picked out the only three things in here that are my roommate's.
So does your roommate's band ever play shows or...
Get out.
All right. Okay, this is crazy. Do you know where this umbrella came from? Because I could've sworn that I... What's wrong? Are you okay?
We broke up.
Oh... well, I never liked him, and I never thought he deserved you, and... I am sorry, I didn't know you were dating someone. Who was this?
He was the architecture professor. The one who taught Econ 305 by accident.
Oh. That guy? Why did you break up?
He's got a thing for you.
have a thing for 気がある
What? Yeah, what? He's... what? How... um, how could he have a thing for me? He's never even met me.
He didn't have to. Everything he saw of yours, he went crazy for.
You should've brought him to my room. Okay? He would've run screaming once he saw my calligraphy set, my coin collection, my chain-mail corset from the Renaissance Faire. Well, that's pretty cool.
Come on. How could he not be in love with you? The way you fall asleep on the couch when you're doing the crossword.
When did he see me fall asleep on...
The way your hair smells. The way your eyes sparkle. I might have some stuff to figure out.
You might.
I'm so sorry!
No, uh, it's okay. It was nice. I haven't been kissed in a really long time.
Not long after that, she met a nice girl and they fell in love, so it's a happy ending... for Cindy anyway. I, however, am left without a roommate, so here we are.
I have a confession. Uh, I don't need a place to live. I saw your ad for the roommate, and I just... I-I really wanted to meet you. I-I'm a huge fan of your band SuperFreakonomics.
Oh, my gosh, really?
Really, come I to all your shows, and I'm not just saying this-- I think you guys are the best economic-themed band in the entire city.
Even better than Radiohedge Fund?
Oh, absolutely. I wish I had the guts to do what you do. I love to sing, but...
have the guts to する勇気がある
You know what? Next time we do a show, you have got to come up onstage with us and sing a song.
Oh, no, I couldn't. No, I'm, I'm, I'm too shy. ♪ But maybe just one song!
I mean, I don't like to think of SuperFreakonomics as my band. I think of it as my canvas upon which I paint my masterpieces. And that right there is why I don't play bass.
Can I help you with that?
Uh, wow, thanks, Superman.
No problem. It's either help you or stop a train from going off a cliff, and you're much cuter. Can I buy you a drink?
Oh, no, sorry, I'm 16.
Oh, wow, sorry. Have a good night.
Wait, you believe that? I like you. Uh, sure, you can buy me a drink.
MacLaren's. The last time I was here, I thought this place was called Puzzles.
That's an odd name. Why would you call a bar Puzzles? Unless that's the puzzle. Well, um, thank you for the drink.
Uh, so, do you want to get dinner sometime?
Um... Louis, you're really nice, but... I was in love with somebody a long time ago, and he died.
Oh, I'm sorry.
No, I'm sorry. Uh, it's silly, but... it's like the first lottery ticket I ever bought was... kaboom, jackpot, and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to win again, not like that anyway, so I don't generally buy lottery tickets anymore.
I understand.
So I should... go.
Well, if you change your mind... ...give me a call.
Okay.
Okay, now we're even!
What?!
What?!
So we got dinner.
And?
He's... nice.
Nice? He sounds amazing! Handsome, good dresser, paid for dinner. What more do you want? Do you know how rough it is out there? I once met a guy claiming to be a genie whose penis grants wishes.
genie 精霊
Oh, my God, who would even fall for that?
fall for 惚れる
The point is, Louis sounds great.
And that's how your mom started dating Louis. And for a couple years, it was fun.
