紐約司機好恐怖 -3
[Later, stuck in traffic]
Driver: [Shouting to the other driver] Hey! Open your eyes, knucklehead! Can you believe that idiot?
Ken: Traffic sure is bad now. [Laughs nervously]
Driver: I'm not letting him get away with that!
[Pulls up next to the other driver. Blows horn.]
Driver: Hey! You! Yeah, I'm talkin' to you, pinhead!
Kim: [Whispering] Oh my.
Ken: [Whispering] Are all New Yorkers like this?
Kim: [Whispering] Not all. Mostly just the cab drivers.
Ken: I think I'm looking forward to the subway.
稍後，困在車陣中
司機：（對著別的司機大叫）嘿！你有沒有長眼睛啊，笨蛋！你相信有這種白癡嗎？
肯：交通真的不太好（緊張地笑）
司機：我才不會這麼輕易就放過他呢！
把車開到那一個司機旁邊，按喇叭
司機：嘿！你啦！對，我就是在跟你說話，豬頭！
金：（低聲）老天爺啊。
肯：（低聲）紐約人都是這副德性嗎？
金：（低聲）不是啦。通常只有計程車司機才這樣。
肯：我覺得現在我很期待去搭地鐵了。
