美剧Billions/亿万 S1E2(38-42minute)

原文

It's a luxury to relax every once in a while, isn't it, Garth?

I remember this place... fondly.

Look, the stability of this firm has never been in question.

I need to look into Axelrod's eyes, hear him say it.

Yeah, he will. I just wanted to hear you first.

I may be from Kentucky, but I'm no rube.

I don't bet on long shots when it comes to investing the pensions of my members. That's why they trust me with their $5 billion. I get nervous, I see someone like Axelrod running around spending his money like he's a goddamn rap singer.

Emcee. Like a rap emcee.

No, some of 'em sing now. My kids showed me.

Snoop and Kid Rock both.

You're right... you are no rube. But Bobby Axelrod isn't, either. We've crushed the S&P seven years running, which means you have crushed the S&P.

You turn over now.

Everyone beats it... till they don't. When can I see Axe, talk to him about it?

You don't want to rush off now, do you?

Here's McCue. She got some stuff on Birch.

You are gonna love my nuts. Pierre Bernard, longtime C.F.O. of the Arcadian, gets passed over for C.E.O., gets censured internally for certain financial improprieties.

Press clippings I thought you might want.

And Bernard interviews for a job at Birch shortly before the trades.

We have secretaries on both sides confirming the meet.

Birch's trades in Arcadian occur a half-hour afterward. We alerted our counterparts up north. The Railroad has fired Bernard. The Canadians are considering prosecution. He's ready to make a statement implicating Birch.

At Quantico, they call a case this straightforward...

Nobody cares.

Of course not.  Why would they?

Rookies always bring up Quantico.

Uh, do you need something else?

Let me know if you need PDF backups of those.

Will do.

He is right, though. This Birch thing's a dunker.

Dominique all day.

Wilkins!

原文

So, tomorrow morning, when the arrest warrant is issued, along with a search warrant, we meet near Birch's firm, all right? You guys take him, we take his records.

Hey, quick question.

Alan.

Are we gonna handcuff him?

Yeah, obviously.

What about the S.E.C.? Should we alert them?

We already have.

Press?

Probably, all right? I mean, those news cameras just have a way of showing up at the right time, don't they?

So, we're gonna hit 'em full-on, right?

Yes.

We'll get local law enforcement there on the perimeter, but with the lights out. All right, any more questions?

对话解析

hit 'em full-on  全力以赴

perimeter 周长；周界    on the perimeter外围;

Bryan? Let's put a pin in the arrest.

Boss?

Get Birch in here. It's time to settle.

No, no. N-no way. We... we have him dead to rights on this trial. I'm first chair. Then it's jail for this jamoke.

We have him dead to rights, so he'll fold quick, and then we get back to what we were doing... Axelrod. I'm not letting us follow the riderless horse any longer.

Wait. Riderless h...

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. They were smart. They sent one of their horses off in a different direction so the posse would have to split up...

Get distracted. But this was no ordinary posse. This was a super posse... the super posse. Mixed group of superheroes... A sheriff, a marshal, an Indian.

Native American.

Sure. And the Cherokee... Man, he could read the depth of the impression the horse's hooves made on rock. And when he realized they were chasing a riderless horse... they got right back on Butch's trail.

I remember now. I watched it with my dad on one of the Saturdays he showed up. I didn't root for the super posse. I rooted for Butch and Sundance.

Of course you did. We all did. But that's not who we are anymore.
