影片对白

Lincoln: It's great to see your face.

Veronica: I think it's time you quit the charade, don't you?

Lincoln: What?

Veronica: It's starting to ruin people's lives. Michael's in here because he thinks you're innocent.

Lincoln: He told you.

Veronica: He hasn't told me anything, but I know, Lincoln. I know what he's planning.Call him off. If you love him, call him off. I saw the tape.

Lincoln: What's on the tape's not how it went down.

Veronica: I know what I saw.

Lincoln: I know what I saw. I was there, remember? Igot highthat night. I had to. It was the only way I could go through with it. I never pulled the trigger. The guy was already dead.

Veronica: Yeah, I know. You've told me a thousand...

Lincoln: Then listen! I wasset up! I went there that night to clear a debt. Crab Simmonswas on my assfor the 90 grand I owed him. He told me the mark was some scumbag drug dealer and if I took it, we'd be clean. I never pulled the trigger. All I know is that somebody wanted me in the same garage as Terrence Steadman that night.

Veronica: Why would somebody want to set you up?

Lincoln: It wasn't about me. It was about him.

Veronica: Steadman?

Lincoln: Yes!

Veronica: The guy was like a saint. All the charity work, the environmental progress his company was making... About the only person in this entire country who had motive to kill him was you.

Lincoln: You came all the way down here to tell me how guilty I am?

Veronica: I don't know why I came here.

Lincoln: You have your life now--- I know that--- but if what we had before meant anything to you, you'd find out the truth.

Veronica: Maybe all this is the truth. Maybe they got it right.

Sucre: Badge! Open up, Badge!

C.O.: You talking again?

Sucre: It's my girl's birthday.

C.O.: Happy birthday to her, then.

Sucre: Well, you gotta let me call her! Please! I'll give you a million dollars, if you let me use the phone.

C.O.:I've seen your kicks, Sucre. You got something like 40 cents to your name.

Sucre: Please! God, no!

妙语佳句,活学活用

1. Call off

Call off 的本意是“to take away; to cancel (something) that had been planned for a certain date”,这里的“call someone off”意思是“告诉某人不要再做某事”,但事实上,call off 这个短语很少用在与人有关的场合,常常是call it off,call the game off等等。比如狗冲着来访的女士一直叫,女士对狗的主人说:Call off your dog.

2. Get high

这里的意思是using drugs (吸毒),例如:Andy got high last night, although he won't admit that.

3. Set up

这里的意思是“冤枉,诬陷”,例如:I'm not to blame; I've been set up.
