Lily：Are you still the same guy you were when I took this photo?

Rufus：What?You took that photo?You weren't even at that show.

Rufus：Sayulita.

Lily：Sayulita.

Rufus：Fishermen's town.

Lily：Was that the one with the villa where we……Yes, indeed, it was. God, I must have taken eight rolls of film that night.

Rufus：Wh……why did you give up photography anyway?You loved it so much.

Lily：Well, I guess I figured, um, social climbing would be more fulfilling. I even remember the black dress I wore that night.

Rufus：Really?

Lily：Yeah.

Rufus：You know, I think it may have actually been blue.

Lily：I thought you said you didn't remember me being there.

Rufus：Uh, can you grab that, Lily?And if it's my son, be nice to him.

Rufus：Okay. I hope everything turns out all right.

Lily：Yeah, me, too. Thanks for baby sitting me, and thank you for being such a good friend.

Rufus：Yeah. It was almost fun.

莉莉：你还跟我拍摄这张照片上的那个人一样吗？

鲁弗斯：什么？这照片是你拍的？你都没去看那场演出。

莉莉：哦，抱歉。如果我没记错，第一首歌是关于我的。第二首是关于你的摩托车，还有一首关于那个冲浪小镇。它在哪里？

鲁弗斯：萨尤利塔。

莉莉：萨尤利塔。

鲁弗斯：渔夫的小镇。

莉莉：是在那个小镇的别墅里我们……对，没错，天哪。我那晚至少照了8卷相片。

鲁弗斯：你为什么放弃了摄影？你那么喜欢它。

莉莉：我想清楚了，跻身上流社会更让我满足。我甚至还记得我那晚穿的黑裙子。

鲁弗斯：真的？

莉莉：对。

鲁弗斯：你知道的，我想裙子可能是蓝色的。

莉莉：我想你说不记得我在场。

鲁弗斯：你能帮我接下吗，莉莉？如果是我儿子，你客气点。

莉莉：你好，Humphrey家宅。你好，艾莉森。对，我是，呃，莉莉。对，等等……鲁弗斯：艾莉森？

莉莉：看来你要解释一下。

鲁弗斯：相信我，我现在不欠艾莉森任何解释。

莉莉：我待得太久了。

莉莉：我也是。谢谢你招待我，你真是个好朋友。

鲁弗斯：当然，我觉得刚才很开心。

莉莉：晚安，鲁弗斯。
