フレンズで学ぶ英会話

What did you.. When did you..

なぜ？いつ？

How did you.. How did you get a girl like that?

何で？どうモノに？

Yeah, so what is she, like a-like a spokesmodel? Aerobics instructor? What?

モデル？それともエアロビの先生？

Actually, she's a paleontology doctoral candidate specializing in the Cenozoic era.

古生物学の研究者だよ、専門は新生代だ。

So this is pretty rare. How did you get that?

こんなレア物を？

Oh, it wasn't a big deal. I just went to a couple of bookstores, talked to a couple of dealers, called a couple of the author's grandchildren.

すぐ見つけた。本屋と業者を回って、作者の孫にかけ合った。

Oh, honey, that's so sweet.

一途ね。

Yeah and what a great way to say I secretly love you, roommate's girlfriend.

好きだと言わんばかりの品ね。

Look, you know, you've been playing around with this catering thing for over three years. Do you wanna be a caterer or not?

本気でケイタリングをやる気があるわけ？

I don't know.

さあね。

There you go! That's the spirit!

その態度だもんね。

Okay, now if you need money, I will lend you money. But just get moving!

お金なら私が貸す。やりなさいよ！

Hey, Joe, what are you getting Kathy for her birthday?

誕生日に何を贈る？

We've only been going out for a couple weeks. Do you think I gotta get her something?

交際2週間で贈れと？

Yes.

当然。

You have to get her something and it should be something really nice.

いい物をあげなきゃ。

I'd rather not.

嫌だわ。

Oh, yeah? Why not?

どうして？

Okay, um.. don't take this the wrong way. But your place kind of has a weird smell.

言うけど怒らないでね。あなたの家は変なにおいが。

Oh, is everything in the car?

帰り支度は？

Yeah, did you settle the bill?

完了。お金は？

No. I hate this part.

請求って苦手。

You know what we should all do? Go see a musical.

やっぱミュージカルを観なきゃね。

Sure.

そうね。

You know which one we should see? The 1996 Tony Award winner.

観るならあれよ。'96年トニー賞獲得のやつ。

Do you happen to know the name of that one?

何て作品だっけ？

I don't know, um, "Grease"?

さあね、"グリース"？

No. "Rent?"

違う。"レント"？

Yes! "Rent!"

"レント"！

Man, it is so hard to shop for girls.

女向けの買い物は難しいよ。

Oh! Yes, it is, at Office Max!

文房具屋じゃ難しい。

What did you get her?

何にした？

A pen. It's two gifts in one. It's a pen that's also a clock.

ペンか。一見ただのペンだろ。時計付きだ。

You can't give her that.

彼女には贈るな。

Why not?

何で？

Because she's not 11! And it's not the seventh night of Chanukah!

小学生か。ハヌカー祭でもない。

Look, it's too late, and I got an audition. I can't shop anymore.

オーディションがあるし、買い物はもう嫌だ。

Alright, I will go out and I will try to find something for her, okay?

代わりに俺が買っとくよ。

Thanks, man.

助かるよ。

And oh, while you're at it, could you get her a card?

カードも買っといて。

Would you like me to write her a little poem as well?

メッセージも代筆しとく？

Or just get a card that has a poem already in it.

印刷済みのを買え。

I know, it's tough. You know what the first thing I did after my mother's funeral was?

ママの葬式のあと最初に何したと思う？

What?

何？

Pay the caterer!

支払いよ！

Look, I've had a lot of jobs, okay? And there are some people who just always try to get out of paying.

いろんな仕事したけど、渋る客って必ずいる。

You know how you throw your jacket on a chair at the end of the day?

帰宅後、上着をイスに投げるだろ。

Yeah.

うん。

Like that. Only instead of a chair, it's a pile of garbage. And instead of a jacket, it's a pile of garbage. And instead of the end of the day, it's the end of time and garbage is all that has survived.

彼女の場合、ゴミの上に投げる。投げるのも上着じゃなくゴミだ。しかも始終投げてる。あそこはゴミの楽園だ。

Alright, listen, Ross. You like this girl, right?

でも彼女を好き？

Yeah.

うん。

You wanna see her again, right?

付き合いたい？

Yeah.

うん。

So you're gonna have to do it in the mess!

ゴミの中でやれ。

Yeah, okay. You're right. I mean, uh.. who-who cares about a little sloppiness? It's, uh, it's endearing, really.

そうだね。多少ずぼらだっていいさ。親しみが持てるよ。

She's really gonna love this, you know? The bottom line is, I want her to have it.. even if I don't get to be the one who gives it to her.

彼女が大好きな本だ。絶対あげたいから、ジョーイからの贈り物にする。

Oh, honey, that's so sweet.

優しいのね。

Yeah? You don't think it's just pathetic?

俺って、みじめ？

Oh, pathetic!

"みじめ"よ！

Thanks. Um.. clearly this is a very, very hard time for you. Um, but, um, we provided a service and we deserve to be paid because you ate that service.

つらい時だってことは分かるけど、代金は頂くわ。あなたも食べたでしょ。

And, um, we are not leaving here until we are paid every penny because you know what, lady, we're part time caterers and we have no place else to go.

全額もらうまで絶対帰らないわよ。こちとら生活がかかってんだから。

Alright. I'll get my bag.

分かったわ。バッグを。

I-I didn't mean the pen. Thank you for the book.

ペンじゃない。本のことよ。

Uh, the book? "The Velveteen Rabbit." I kinda have the feeling you had something to do with it.

本って？"ビロードうさぎ"。あなたでしょ？

What do you mean?

何で？

Well, uh, when Joey gave it to me, he said "This is 'cause I know you like rabbits and I know you like cheese."

ジョーイが言ったの。"君の好物はうさぎとチーズだ"。

Thanks. I love it. And I know how hard it must have been for you to find.

感激よ。捜すの大変だったでしょ？
