Stephanie: No, it’s not that either...
史蒂芬妮:不,也不是啦……
Andrea: I know what it is. You think I’m too good. I’ll outshine the other singers. Don’t worry. I don’t mind hiding my light under a bushel, just this once.
安德里亚:我知道了,你觉得我唱的太好了,胜过其他歌手。不要担心,我不介意这一次掩盖一下我的光芒。

安德里亚:我的声音怎么啦?听我唱唱(很大声又难听的唱到):“叮叮当、叮叮当、铃儿响停当……”
