她从酒店打出两个电♥话♥
She made two phonecalls from the hotel.
一个给她的父母，一个给孟菲斯学校委员会
One to her parents and one to the Memphis School Board.
她好像有点勉强。我不想失去这个年轻人
She seemed a little reluctant. I’d hate to lose this young man.
– 我相信她会让步的。 – 科津斯基和霍奇斯又怎样？
– I think she’ll come around. – What about Kozinski and Hodges?
– 你跟芝加哥的人谈过没有？ – 谈过
– Have you spoken to Chicago? – I have.
情况不妙，我们要想个办法
It’s not good. We’re gonna have to do something.
那些开心的面孔是我画的
I drew the happy faces.
孟菲斯在哪里？
Where’s Memphis?
– 就是这间？ – 看来不一样

好，我想你翻阅我上次替客户桑尼·卡普斯做的一宗案例
Good. I want you to review the last one I did for our client Sonny Capps.
去年赚了一千四百万，付了百分之四的税，他十分愤恨
Made $1 4 million last year, paid 4%/ in taxes and resents every buck, but…
但他给了我们四十万律师费，所以别令他不快
…he paid us $400,000 in fees, so don’t make him unhappy.
看一下那宗交易。看你能否找到什么
Look at the deal. See if you can find anything.

– 尽力而为，只要不把它折断 – 即是说不要冒税局核数的险
– As far as you can without breaking it. – In other words, don’t risk an audit.
我才不管核数。他们最好不要赢
I don’t give a damn about an audit. They just better not win.
