Gary, Paula and Ivy are left on the stage
　　Paula: I have no idea what to do.
　　Gary: Mike needs to get off his butt and start giving us direction.
　　Paula: Why aren't you directing it? You're much better at it than Mike.
　　Gary: Mike wrote it, so he feels like it belongs to him.
　　Paula: That's stupid. My grandparents are coming to watch the play.
　　Gary: Maybe he'll come back and do something useful for a change. [Gary leaves]
　　Paula: I don't want to disappoint my grandma. She's looking forward to this play.

　　剩下盖瑞、葆拉跟艾薇在舞台上
　　葆拉：我不知道要怎么办。
　　盖瑞：麦克得加把劲开始教我们怎么做。
　　葆拉：你为什么不来导这出戏？这方面你比麦克厉害多了。
　　盖瑞：麦克写的剧本，所以他觉得应该由他来导。
　　葆拉：真蠢。我爷爷奶奶要来看这出话剧耶。
　　盖瑞：也许他回来后会做些有意义的改变。（盖瑞离开）
　　葆拉：我可不想让我奶奶失望。她很期待这个话剧。
　　重点解说：
　　★ stage 舞台
　　★ get off someone's butt 某人该起身有所行动
　　★ disappoint (v.) 使失望 [NextPage]

　　Practicing for the school play
　　Gary: We've been here for two hours, and we haven't finished a thing yet.
　　Mike: Look, I wrote the story, so I know what to do.
　　Gary: But you're not telling people their roles.
　　Mike: I'm resting now. I'll direct everybody in a minute.
　　Gary: We have to practice or else we won't win like the last three years in a row.
　　Mike: Whatever. I'm going for a drink. [Mike leaves]
　　Gary: Darn it, Mike, we have to get this done! We don't have much time left.

　　校园话剧公演练习
　　盖瑞：我们已经在这儿待两小时了，而什么事都 还没完成。
　　麦克：听好，故事是我写的，所以我知道怎么做。
　　盖瑞：可是你没跟我们说大家的角色。
　　麦克：我现在在休息。我等会儿就会指导大家。
　　盖瑞：我们必须要排练，不然就无法像前三年一样三连胜了。
　　麦克：随便啦。我要去喝杯饮料。（麦克离开）
　　盖瑞：该死，麦克，我们得把这完成啊！我们时间不多了。
　　重点解说：
　　★ play (n.) 话剧，戏剧
　　★ role (n.) 角色
　　★ rest (v.) 休息
　　★ direct (v.) 指导，导演（戏剧）
　　★ or else 要不然…
　　★ in a row 连续。Gary这句话可以有两种解释︰一是像对话中所指‘不能像前三年一样三连胜’；而若是Gary说完...won't win后，停顿一下再说like the last three years in a row，这样的意思就正好相反，而是指‘会像之前那样连续三年没赢过’
　　★ darn it 该死。是damn it的婉转说法
