　　Episode seven : Guest issues one
　　Patrick and Alma are at Alma's apartment, talking over a draft of the engine bearer.
　　Patrick: You look like a basket case [俚: 完全沒有希望的人.]
　　Alma: I'm not surprised.
　　Patrick: What's the problem?
　　Alma: My brother in-law just dropped in from the states.
　　Patrick: Yeah, and?
　　Alma: I decided to put him up while he's here, big mistake!
　　Patrick: Why?
　　Alma: He's lazy. I tryed being a good host, but if you give him an inch, he'll take a mile.
　　Patrick: I guess you think twice next time he comes.
　　Alma: You can say that again.
　　Patrick: So how long has he here for?
　　Alma: Two weeks. If he thinks I'll put up with his attitude that long he's got another thing coming.
　　Patrick: Well, I know you do the right thing.
　　Nick and Paul meet at the local pub.
　　Nick: Hi Paul. How are you, friend.
　　Paul: Not good. My cousin is driving me up the wall [drive sb. up the wall: 使某人十分煩惱].
　　Nick: How so?
　　Paul: He stays up untill all hours of the night, and he never lifts a finger to help.
　　Nick: Have you talk to him about it?

　　Paul: This is no larghing matter, Nick.
　　Nick: Sorry Paul. I couldn't help it. So why doesn't he give you a hand?
　　Paul: He watchs the tob too much. Now really I don't know. But I can't handle this much longer.
　　Nick: Well, talk to him, and let me know what happens, OK?
