影视英文：《新娘靠边闪》六

精彩对白

Girl: Oh, my... No way! No freaking way! You're the girl from the article. What-What are you doing here?

Jane: Um, well- Okay. Long story short. There's this guy.

Girl: Oh! Okay. Tell me more. Tell me more. - Um-

Jane: Kevin? Kevin Doyle?

Doyle: Oh, my God.

Girl: There he is. There he is. Come on. You can do it. Say it.

Jane: Okay. Uh, I just wanted to say that you were right about me, about all of it. I just didn't want to hear it, especially not from you.

Girl: Can we get a follow spot?

jane: There you are. Uh, Kevin, I've been waiting my whole life for the right guy to come along and then you showed up. And you are nothing like the man I imagined. You're cynical¹ and cranky and impossible. But the truth is, fighting with you is the best thing that's ever happened to me. And I think there's a very good chance that I'm falling in love with you. So... that's it. That's all I had to say. So... I'll go now. Excuse me. Sorry. Kevin, I just really, um-

Doyle: Get over here.

Man: Tell me, what do you think makes this wedding special?

Casey: Who are you?

Man: I write the Commitments column for the journal. Maybe I could buy you a drink later.

Casey: It's an open bar. Maybe I'll buy you a drink.

Woman: Hi.

Tess: Thank you.

Redro: God, look at how hot Tess looks. Think she'd go for me? I am a year older.

George: I don't know. I'll put in the good word for you, big guy. All right? Hello.

Tess: Hi. Um, I'm the maid of honor. I, um, live in Williamsburg with a roommate and I just started designing my own line of deeply fabulous² handbags. And I'm completely broke. But that's okay. I eat a hamburger a day, and my idea of a pet is a rock.

George: Well, it's very nice to meet you.

Tess: Tess.

George: Tess. Got it.

Tess: Well, wait until you see the bride. She looks gorgeous.

Casey: Ready? Everything's perfect. And this dress- the best thing is I can shorten it and wear it again.

jane: Definitely. So true.

Tess: All right.

jane: Okay.

Father: Okay. Ready?

Jane: Yes. That day, I woke up and put on my 28th dress. I went to a wedding where no one asked me to hold the bouquet³, fold a place card or hold their dress while they peed. Everything was perfect. And I didn't care. Because right then, the only thing that mattered was the person waiting for me at the end of the aisle⁴. And he was looking at me the way I'd always hoped.

Doyle: So is this moment everything you hoped for?

Jane: No. It's more. It's much more.

Pastor⁵: Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Jane Nichols and Kevin Doyle in holy matrimony. Marriage is a cause for celebration.

Jane: It turns out I was right about one thing. I knew they'd all be there for me someday.

No way的意思是“不可能，没门”。这位新娘在这里说 "No freaking way，You're the girl from the article." 意思就是“我没看错吧，你就是报纸上那位伴娘？”

平时我们还常用freak out来表示“情绪失控”。例如：The party last night was a real freak-out.（昨晚的舞会真是一场胡闹。）
