【约翰】:Stoosh[1] trainers, mate. Really suit[2] you.
【卢克】:Thank you.
【约翰】:I'll swap them for a Pepsi Max[3].
【卢克】:I beg your pardon?
【杰森】:You need to meet[4] Black Elton John. He's been in here 12 times. He can literally[5] get you anything.
【约翰】:That's not my name, mate.
【杰森】:You've got to admit you look like him. The Candle In The Bin[6] guy.
【卢克】:Let's not bother[7] the nice man, and it's ' Wind'. Candle In The Wind.
【杰森】:Why would you put a candle in the wind? It would just blow out[8]. That's why you put it in the bin.
【约翰】:Right, you're going to buy something or what[9]? Newbies[10] normally go for[11] my welcome pack[12]. Ten credits[13] gets you a sock[14] full of Minstrels[15], a roll[16] of satin[17] Andrex[18] and six pages of Nuts[19] magazine.
【卢克】:I'm not really interested, but thank you.
【约翰】:Fair enough[20]. I can probably get you a copy of Big Spunkers[21] from somewhere?
【杰森】:Oh, I need a nice thick duvet[22] and a gun.
(注:卢克听到杰森要一支枪,感到很奇怪,带着怀疑笑容问杰森)
【卢克】:A gun, Jason? This isn't Ross Kemp On Gangs[23].
【约翰】:You just let me know and you guys'll be fine, as long as you...
【杰森】:Find the biggest guy in here and kick his face off[24].
【卢克】:No, keep our heads down[25].
【约翰】:I was going to say you'll be fine as long as you don't sit in Marcel's special seat.
(注:正说话之际,一个桌球突然弹向卢克,好在卢克及时躲过)
【卢克】:Oi[26]!
(注:卢克因桌球飞奔过来,大喊一声,及时躲过,桌球重重击在墙上。卢克因担心自己的喊叫惊吓到狱霸马塞尔他们,急忙连声说道歉)
【卢克】:Sorry, sorry, sorry.
【杰森】:Oh, that's Marcel! Apparently, they caught him with a policeman's helmet[27] in his glove box[28].
【约翰】:It wasn't just the helmet. I heard it was full...
【杰森】:Sick[29]! Let's go kick some face.
【卢克】:No, let's not do anything to anyone's anything.
(注:又一个桌球飞奔过来,击中了卢克的头)
【卢克】:Ow[30]!
【杰森】:Good thinking[31]. Let's wait till there's more people around to see us kill him. So what about that guv[32] Dawn, then, Lulu? She couldn't take her eyes off my six-pack.
【卢克】:You haven't got a six-pack[33].
【杰森】:I do when I'm squatting[34].
【卢克】:Please stop talking.
【杰森】:Fine. When I bring her back to the cell tonight, you need to make yourself scared.
【卢克】:It's " make yourself scarce[35] " and you've got, literally, no chance with her.
【杰森】:You may not, but some of us have got the gift of the gob[36].
(注:卢克无可奈何地再一次纠正杰森的语误)
【卢克】:Gab[36].
(注:杰森转脸问约翰)
【杰森】:What was that brilliant line[37] I said to you before, Elt? It was so good. Yeah, that Dawn is one screw[38] I'd really like to...
(注:杰森若有所思地想说什么)
【卢克】:Do go on.
【杰森】:..xxxx!
【卢克】:Xxxx? Jason, xxxxx! A screw I want to xxxxx!
【杰森】:Why's that better?
【卢克】:Dawn's a screw I really want to xxxxx!
(注:狱警朵恩来到活动室)
【朵恩】:Well, that's never going to happen.
【卢克】:He said it, not me! I'm innocent[39], once again!
【朵恩】:That's a yellow card[40]. I'm very disappointed, Luke.
【杰森】:We both are.
【朵恩】:Anyways, your girlfriend's here to see you unless you want to stand here chatting about my nether regions[41]?
【杰森】:Catch[42] you in a bit[43], yeah, Dawn?
(注:杰森说话之际,顺便坐在了小椅子上,向朵恩展示其坐下来才能显现出来的 “腹肌”,朵恩愣住了)
