“你介意我给你和你的前妻坐在一起拍张照片吗？” 他满怀希望地问道，“我以前从没拍到过……” 他停顿了一下，脸红了。
“Would you mind if I took a picture of you sitting beside your ex-wife?” he asked hopefully. “I never got a picture before of—” He paused, and blushed.
“拍吧。” 杰克和蔼地说，“当海伦和我最终上法庭的时候，你可能会把这张照片卖给报纸赚很多钱。”
“Go right ahead,” Jake said amiably. “When Helene and I finally get into court, you can probably sell it to the newspapers for a lot of money.”
莫娜?麦克莱恩设法让大家又聊了五分钟巴黎咖啡馆的歌舞表演。然后杰克、海伦和马龙和大家一一告别离开了。
Mona McClane managed to keep everyone talking about the floor show at the Chez Paree for five more minutes. Then Jake, Helene, and Malone said good-bys all around and left.
“再待五分钟我的头发就不只是变白了，而是会掉光。” 海伦靠在出租车的坐垫上说。
“Another five minutes and my hair wouldn’t have just turned white, it would have fallen out,” Helene said, leaning back against the cushions in the taxi.
“当地狱在他们中间爆发时，你不能责怪那些有教养、备受呵护的人感到紧张不安。” 马龙说。
“You can’t blame well-bred, sheltered people for feeling edgy when hell breaks loose in their midst,” said Malone.
“还有一件事。” 杰克气愤地说，“你告诉莫娜?麦克莱恩…… 是什么意思？”
“And another thing,” Jake said indignantly. “What was the idea of telling Mona McClane—”
“动动脑子。我住在莫娜?麦克莱恩家是因为我离开了我的丈夫。这是我们了解麦克莱恩家发生的事情的唯一内部渠道。我必须待在那里。”
“Use your head. I’m staying at Mona McClane’s because I’ve left my husband. It’s the only inside wire we have to what goes on in the McClane household. I’ve got to stay there.”
“你的意思是你不跟我回家了？”
“You mean you’re not ing home with me?”
“在我们赢得那个赌注之前不会。” 她坚定地说，“我必须有个留在莫娜家做客的借口，而这是我唯一的借口。”
“Not until we win that bet,” she said firmly. “I’ve got to have some excuse for staying on as Mona’s guest, and this is the only one I have.”
“但是该死，海伦。” 杰克抱怨道，“你不能……”
“But damn it, Helene,” Jake plained. “You can’t—”
“等赌注有了结果再说。” 她说。
“After the bet is settled,” she said.
“就为了两分钱，” 杰克咆哮道，“我都想揍你一拳。”
“For two cents,” Jake growled, “I’d punch you in the nose.”
