本片段劇情：艾利克斯邀請琪琪參加自己的聚會，琪琪誤以為艾利克斯對她有意思。聚會結束后，琪琪捅破了這層窗戶紙，結果……

影片對白：

Alex: Hey, thanks for staying and helping me clean up. I really gotta go to bed, though.

Gigi: Is that an invitation?

Alex: What?

Gigi: Oh, God, that was cheesy. Oh, I'm not good at this.

Alex: What?

(Gigi jumps upon Alex and kisses him)

Alex: Hey.

Gigi: Oh, yes. I knew it. The best relationships grow out of friendships.

Alex: Wait, wait, wait. Gigi. Wait, wait, wait. What? Now you and I are in a relationship?

Gigi: Well, I'd say if we're not at relationship station-ship, we're at least on the track.

Alex: And why exactly would you think that?

Gigi: Because of the signs.

Alex: Really, like what?

Gigi: Like, it was good to hear from me and...you talked to me even when you were with a girl and...I felt something.

Alex: Oh, man. What are you talking about? Gigi, what have I been saying since I met you? If a guy wants to date you, he will make it happen, okay? He will ask you out. Did I ask you out?

Gigi: No.

Alex: Why would you do this? Oh, shit. Why do women do this? Why do they build up this stuff in their minds, take each little thing a guy does, and then twist it into something else? It's insane.

Gigi: I'd rather be like that than be like you.

Alex: Excuse me? What is that supposed to mean?

Gigi: I may dissect each little thing and put myself out there too much but...at least that means I still care. Oh, you think you've won because women are expendable to you? You may not get hurt or make an ass of yourself that way, but you don't fall in love that way either. You have not won. You're alone, Alex. I may do a lot of stupid shit, but I know I'm a lot closer to finding someone than you are.

妙語佳句 活學活用

1. clean up: 清掃，清理。例如：She is cleaning up the kitchen now.（她現在正在打掃廚房。）clean up one's act意思是“改邪歸正，重新做人”。

2. cheesy: 庸俗，土氣。cheesy還可以表示“質次的，下等的，粗陋的”，例如：a cheesy hotel（低級旅館）；cheesy literature（粗鄙的文學）。

3. dissect: 仔細研究。例如：The lawyers dissected his claim for damages.（律師們仔細分析了他提出的賠償要求。）

4. expendable: 可犧牲的，可消費的，可消耗的，不值得保存的，通常不再次使用的。看一下例子：In a war anything can be expendable -- equipment or gasoline or men.（在戰爭中，任何東西都可能被犧牲：裝備、汽油或是士兵。）對于艾利克斯來說，女人就像消費品，用完了還有新的，可以輕易被替代。
