美剧【疑犯追踪】精读012 The Fix ZOE的故事

Scene - About Zoe

ZOE: You never did tell me your name.

JOHN: John. My name's John.

ZOE: Of course it is. So, John... How did you know I was going to be in trouble?

JOHN: Given your choice of career, doesn't seem like much of a stretch. You might consider a new line of work.

ZOE: You're one to judge? Besides, you don't know anything about me.

JOHN: I know almost everything about you. I know you grew up in a nice house in Yonkers. I know your dad was a city official till he got snared in a corruption case. I know you spent the rest of your childhood in a little apartment in Queens with your mother. About the only thing I don't know about you is why you started doing whatever it is you do.

ZOE: My dad was a party man. Machine politician. He did what he was told. Right up until the cops showed up, put the cuffs on him. The local press was camped out on our lawn for weeks. Then this guy showed up, the guy that the party would send to deal with. Uncomfortable situations. He said two words. And those reporters? They packed up, and they left, and they never came back. And I realized, that's what I want to be. The person who knows what to say, and always has something to trade.
