Linus: I want you to call Seattle and Tokyo and tell them to stop
construction. Then get the Rons and Tysons and tell them there's an emergency
meeting on the merger here at noon. And take this Paris ticket that
was in my name and transfer it to
the name of David Larrabee. I need to see my mother.
David: Linus!
Linus: Need to see my mother as soon as she gets in.
Mack: Good morning, David. Can I get you some coffee? No? OK.
Linus: I got a surprise for you.
David: Yeah. I got one for you, too. I've watched you do business for years,
but I thought there was a limit to
how sick you could... How could you, Linus? How could you do what you did to me
and her? How could you go that far ?
What the hell makes you think you have the right?
Linus: Habit. Listen, David, I tried something and it didn't work, I mean it
worked, but it didn't really work. I want you to go to Paris today, with
Sabrina.
David: What?
Linus: This whole thing was a business tactic, I let it get out of hand.
Somehow I lost my focus. I screwed up everything. But I know it can be fixed. I
manipulated her, I confused her. But she's loved you all her life. You're what
she really wants. You're what she's always wanted. Go with her, it's not too
late. Things will work out. She'll make you happy. I don't want her to have to
leave here alone.
David: What about Patrick and the merger? You'd blow a billion dollars for this? I see.
Linus: Get going. Go on. Don't miss the plane.
David: Ms. McCartle I want to see you in my office right away. Where is it?
妙词佳句，活学活用
1. in one's name
“以某人的名字……”的意思。例如：This book is published in my name.
（这本书是以我的名字出版的。）
2. there is a limit to
“有一个限度”。例如：He knows his own limits.（他自知能力有限。）
3. go that far
“做得过分”的意思。它是由词组 go too far 变化而来，表示行为“不可理喻，过火”；例如：Insulting your teacher is

4. blow a billion dollars
在这里要简单提一下 blow 的用法。首先大家先看一下例句，You'd blow a billion dollars for this?
按照上下文的意思，这里blow 应译为“放弃可以赚 a billion dollars 的机会”。在日常生活当中我们最常用的是 blow it
，例如：我们搞砸了某个项目，就可以说 we blow it！
