影片对白
Maya: So, what areyou guys up to tonight?
Miles: Oh, we're pretty wiped. You know I think we're just gonna go back to the motel and crash.
Maya: Yeah, I guess it's kind of a long drive up here.
Miles: Mmm.
Maya: Where are you staying?
Miles: Uh, the Windmill.
Jack: Windmill. The girl is looking to party and you tell her we're going back to the motel and crash? Jesus, Miles!
Miles: Well, I'm tired, Jack. Aren't you tired?
Jack: The chick digs you, man! She lit up like a pinball machine when she found out your novel was getting published.
Miles: Now I have another lie to live down. Thanks, Jack.
Jack: Just trying to get you a little action. I would appreciate a little bit of help.
Miles: Didn't seem to me like that's what was going on.You were all over her.
Jack: Well, somebody had to do the talking. And, by the way, I was right--she's not married.
Miles: How do you know?
Jack: No rock. When she came to the bar, she was sans rock.
Miles: Oh.
