    譯文：
    laurance--嘿，對不起打擾一下。有件重要的事得告訴你們。
    soony--等一會兒不行嗎？
    laurance--不行至關(guān)重要。
    jenny--是生死攸關(guān)的大事兒嗎？
    laurance--倒沒那么嚴(yán)重，不過也差不多。這事兒可能嚴(yán)重影響
    我們的前途。
    soony--好象是故意不讓我們看電視！
    jenny--可不！什么大不了的事比這場冠軍賽還重復(fù)！
    soony--就是我說的事兒。這事兒我們得商量一下。
    laurance--要多長時間？
    soony--至多五分鐘。
    jenny--好吧，但得等到下個廣告時間。別忘了，不超過五分鐘。
