我真的不理解Ann的脑回路

there is a method to my madness 【俚语】意思是表面看似疯狂的举止，其实有它隐含的目的。
在生活中，让人摸不着头脑的事情有很多，但是仔细分析，往往又会发现其中的道理, 比如以下场景：
(1) When I was a kid, my dad used to take long drives around the state I grew up in. I thought he wanted to go sightseeing. Then I realized he was looking around for the service station offering the cheapest price on gas. I should have known there was a reasonable explanation for those odd road trips. Yes, there was a method to his madness.
(2) My colleagues assumed I'd gone crazy when I threatened to resign my position as assistant sales manager. What none of them suspected was that I wanted the boss to give me a promotion. And it worked. Within a week I was running the department. See, there was a method to one's madness!
That is where ... comes in 这时就该...登场了，当有人问那某件事发生了怎么办，你就可以说那就应该让谁谁来解决了。

-I'm not going anywhere. You're my wife. I meant it when I said. "Till death do us part."
-Oh, my darling, I'm going to hold you to that.

Tommy实在是太年轻了，不适合刘姐

beat it：走开；【俚语】masturbation
（这句话其实是对旁边的吃瓜群众说的，就嫌弃地叫他走开（beat it），让试衣间里面的Tommy误以为是对他的回答。）

When he's high he just wants everyone to be as happy as he is.
So, I've been thinking of ways that we can handle this covertly.

Look, you remember how you felt when you thought that Eli and I were ganging up on you. How is he gonna feel if it... if it seems like we're ganging up on him?
