绝望主妇 | 精讲第51期: 不能丧失赚钱的能力

S01E11

Scene 1

Mr. Hartley: "Gabrielle, it's not my fault that your bank accounts are frozen."

Gabrielle: "I'm not saying it's your fault, I'm just saying, fix it!"

Mr. Hartley: "Well, I wish I could, but the folks at the justice department aren't very sympathetic."

Gabrielle: "I'm running out of money. In a couple of weeks, I'm gonna be screwed. I'm just so angry with Carlos. What was he thinking, exporting goods made from slave labor? Why couldn't he have embezzled like other white collar criminals?"

Mr. Hartley: "All the justice department wants is to make sure that Carlos doesn't skip the country. Now, if he is released on bail, I can argue that he needs money to live on, and they'll probably unfreeze one of the smaller accounts."

Gabrielle: "But they won't release him on bail until they get the passport." 
Mr. Hartley: "Exactly. You haven't found that yet, have you?"
Mary Alice Voiceover:"Gabrielle wanted her old lifestyle back, no question, but she wanted Carlos to suffer for his betrayal even more. "
(Flashback to Gabrielle looking at Carlos's passport in her hands before throwing it into the fire.) 
Gabrielle: "I'm still searching." 
Mr. Hartley: "Well, in that case, you might want to think about looking for a job." 

Scene 2

Mr. Gibbs: "Wow! Wow! Wow! Well, this is certainly impressive. I can definitely get you work as a model. But you do realize it's different from the runway work you did in New York and Milan." 
Gabrielle: "Of course. I made ten thousand dollars a day. I don't expect to, to make that here."
(She glances up at a poster on the wall, which sports the slogan: "Try the beer that's #1 among mermaids.") 
Mr. Gibbs: "That's good. Because you won't." 
Gabrielle: "Yeah. So what do you got?" 
Mr. Gibbs: "Well, there is something. Uh, they need a model to demonstrate the new Buick Lacrosse, at the Fairview Mall. It's just going to be you and the car on a revolving platform. Three hundred bucks for the day."

Gabrielle: "Uh, what else do you have?" 
Mr. Gibbs: "Sure, um, ooh. Can you swing a sword? Sci-fi convention needs someone to dress up as a warrior princess."

Gabrielle: "A warrior princess? Mr. Gibbs. I am a professional model. Look at this bone structure. This face is a cash cow

, and if you don't have the vision to take advantage of that, then maybe I'm at the wrong agency." 

Mr. Gibbs: "Hey, look, honey. I'm the only modeling agent in a hundred mile radius. I book women for boat shows and garden tool expose and if you don't like it, move back to the city." 

Gabrielle: This Buick thing... does it include lunch?
