《小屁孩日记2》二
影片对白
Greg: Gotta go, Mom.
Rodrick: Later, Mom.
Greg's father: See you, honey.
Greg's mother: Ok, ok. Wait. Hold on. Wait a second. I need a moment for a family meeting. Now your father and I have been talking. Things between two of you had really got out of hand.
Rodrick: Can I just say...
Greg's mother: You may not realize it now...but having a brother is one of the most important relationships of your life. I mean one day you can be Uncle Greg and Uncle Rodrick to each other's kids. That is important. So you need to get to know each other.
Greg: What?
Greg's mother: You need to spend more time together.
Rodrick: What?
Greg's mother: That's why I come up with a new program ... That's going to reward you for spending time together. I'm calling it: Mum Bucks.
Rodrick: You paying us with fake money?
Greg's mother: Ok, ok. Now, for every hour that you spend together...without fighting, for example, let's say...You give Greg a drum lesson, you each earn a Mum Buck. You can then trade it for a one real dollar. So to start you off, I'm giving you each five Mum Bucks. Now if you're smart, you will save up your Mum Bucks.
Rodrick: Can I cash it now?
Greg's mother: Well, Rodrick, if you say...
Rodrick: But can I cash out?
Greg's mother: Yes, but ...
Rodrick: I want to cash out.
Greg's mother: Frank.
Greg's father: I know.
Greg's mother: Ok. Yes, you can. All right. Ok, all right. We should get going, because you don't want to be late for school, right? Let's go. Ok. All right.
Rodrick: This Mum Bucks thing is a goldmine. Better not ruin it for me.
Greg: Most kids hate it when summer ends, but I have to say right now school starting is pretty good.
Patty: Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome ... Welcome back.
Greg: It's nice not to be the new kids this year. I know, look at the tiny sixth-graders.
Chirag: I'm so glad that's not me this year.
Boy: Just little higher.
Rowley: Oh, Greg, look who's in our class.
Greg: This was my chance. If I can sit next to Holly, I'd have the whole year to show her how great I am.
Patty: No way, Greg Heffley. This is my seat.
Greg: No, it's not. I was here first. It's mine. Let go.
Patty: You know I'm stronger than you. Greg Heffley. Don't let me beat you up again.
Greg: Let's get it straight. I was sick and there was something in my eye.
Teacher: I never had students so eager to start the school year. What's going on?
Greg & Patty: This is my seat.
Teacher: Ok, let's start again. What are your names?
Patty: Patty Farrell. Two Rs, two Ls.
Greg: Greg Heffley.
Teacher: Greg Heffley. Would you be related to Rodrick Heffley? I've got my eye on you, Heffley.
Greg: There is no way to escape. It's unbelievable. Even at school, Rodrick can ruin my life.
Rowley: Xu, he might hear you.
Greg: No, watch.
Rowley: Holy cow!
Greg: He once slept through an entire day.
TV: Do you have an amazing talent that you'd like to share? Today Plainview city councillors announced a brand-new local contest: Plainview's Most Talented.
Rowley: Hey, Greg, maybe we can...
Rodrick: Cut it, Chunk Cheese.
TV: Westmore is absolutely packed to the roof. The top prize is $1000 and of course the admiration of your friends and neighbours.
Rodrick: This is huge. I gonna call the band. We gonna practice. This is going to be a big break.
Greg's mother: Wait a second. Aren't you forgetting something?
Rodrick: What? I showered yesterday. Smell.
Greg's mother: Ok, ok, ok, ok. We agreed that you give a drum lesson to Greg.
Greg: You were serious?
Greg's mother: Who knows? If you guys really like it and maybe we can form a family band.
Greg: Rodrick says he's a professional musician, but ... as far as I know, the only money he made was when Dad gave him five Bucks once to stop him playing.
Greg: When can we get to play the real drums?
Rodrick: Like I'd ever let you touch them. Watch and learn.
Rowley: Hey, I was thinking we should enter the talent show. I can do my magic act and you could be my assistant.
Greg: Assistant? No way. Doing magic tricks is bad enough. Assisting the guy doing the tricks... I'd never make it to the eighth grade.
