他死了。拍拍屁♥股♥走人!
He's dead. Bugger off!
哦,他妈的。
Oh, fuck.
好吧，让我们听听。
All right, let's hear it.
好吧,嗯……《猎户座之龙》无聊又荒谬，老实说，它可能只适合监狱图书馆作为额外的惩罚形式。
Okay, um... "'Dragons of Orion' is boring, absurd, "and, frankly, it may only be fit for a prison library "as an added form of punishment.
"这是j。f。斯坦布里奇出版社"连续第三次发布了低于标准的版本"
"This is the third subpar release in a row "from the once renowned publishing house "of J.F. Stanbridge.
很难判断，露西·斯坦布里奇是在“试图与系列文学作品划清界限”，让这所房♥子变得有意义，还是她根本无法胜任这份工作。
"It's difficult to tell if Lucy Stanbridge "is trying to distance herself from the series literary fare "that made the house relevant, "or if she's simply not up to the task.
“也许是时候放弃了，露茜。
"Perhaps it's time to give it up, Lucy.

不，不是《泰♥晤♥士♥报♥》。"
No, not "The Times."
什么?
What?
《猎户座的龙》是愚蠢的。
"Dragons of Orion" is dumb.
全部大写,“哑巴”。

它试图成为哈利波特，但它甚至不坏的暮光之城。
It's trying to be Harry Potter, but it's not even a bad "Twilight."
-那是谁?-特蕾西的读书俱乐部
- Who is that? - Tracy's book club.
她有400多万粉丝。
She has over four million followers.
但说真的，谁会写这个?
But seriously, who would write this?
我宁愿饿死也不愿再读这一页——吃脑子……——哦,大便。
I'd rather just starve than read another page of this - brain-sucking... - Oh, shit.
一本书折磨心灵。
Mind torture of a book.
我得离开这里。
I have to get out of here.
你是最好的。
You're the best.
你是最棒的，孩子。
You're the best, kiddo.
你是最好的。
You're the best.
大便。
Shit.
啊。
Ugh.
瑞秋，我们需要自己的德鲁·戴维斯。

Everyone else is dead or unaffordable.
真的吗?嗯哼…有没有人…我不知道，有没有死人能让我们复活?
Really? Ahem... Is there anyone, um... I don't know, is there anyone dead we can revive?
也许是地下室里的手稿之类的?
Maybe a manuscript in the basement or something?
也许,但毫无意义。
Maybe, but pointless.
-他还没死——谁?
- And he's not dead. - Who?
哈里斯肖。
Harris Shaw.
真的吗?我以为他已经死了。
Really? I thought he was dead.
自从你♥爸♥爸出版后就没人听说过他了。
Well, no one has heard of him since your dad published him.
他的进步是什么?
What's his advance?
很可能是在70年代协商的，所以我想应该比较小。

Let's look up his contract.
等等,不过,露西…什么?
Wait, still, Lucy... What?
自从《原子之秋》之后他就没写过任何东西
He hasn't written anything since "Atomic Autumn."
所以呢?
So?
事实上，这是他写过的所有东西，而且那是将近50年前的事了。
Actually, it's all he's ever written, and that was almost 50 years ago.
太好了。这意味着他有很多时间想出新的东西，对吗?

让我们做它。
Let's do it.
我是说，他可能已经死了。
I mean, he could be dead, actually.

- No. - He owes us... - I mean... - Oh, my God.
我不会…哈里斯·肖欠我们一本书。
I wouldn't... Harris Shaw owes us a goddamn book.
-哇，哇，哇。-哦,是的。
- Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Oh, yes.
这正是我们所需要的。…这可以挽救房♥子。
This is exactly what we need. This... This could... This could save the house.
等一等。等等，还有呢。
Hold on. Hold on, there's more.

是的。作为交换，作者必须按照出版商的要求宣传这本书。
Yeah. In exchange, the author must promote the book in accordance with the publisher's request.
让我看看。我父亲为什么会同意?
Let me see that. Why would my father agree to this?
我们还是忘了这事吧去做更现实的事，好吗?
Let's just forget about it and move on to something more realistic, okay?
好吧,没关系。哈里斯·肖是个传奇……-他是个酒鬼，是个隐士。-他是一个抓住…他是个疯子，好吗?
Well, doesn't matter. Harris Shaw is a legend... - He's a drunk, he's a recluse. - He is someone that captures... He's a madman, okay?
你知道他有一次枪杀了他的助手吗?
You know that story about he shot his assistant once...?
让我们再试一次。
Let's try again.
真的吗?我是说，他可能…-是什么?——好的。
Really? I mean, he's probably... - What was it? - Okay.
9-1-4……我很抱歉,亲爱的。
9-1-4... I'm sorry, darling.
你知道吗?
You know?
我就知道这是愚蠢的，愚蠢的，垃圾的。
I knew it was stupid and foolish and rubbishy.
你知道该死的电♥话♥。
You know bloody telephones.
电♥话♥就是扯淡，不是吗?

Did you know he left Britain to evade taxes?
是啊，很多名人都这么做。
Yeah, a lot of famous people do that.
他因行为不检被赶出爱尔兰。
And he was thrown out of Ireland for disorderly behavior.
所以呢?他固执己见。
So? He's opinionated.
爱尔兰,露西。
Ireland, Lucy.
他们发明了无序行为。
They invented disorderly behavior.
又来了。
And here we go again.
他射杀了他的上一个助手，因为他把他当成了熊。
He shot his last assistant because he mistook him for a bear.
-我才不信呢-这怎么可能?
- Oh, I don't believe that. - How is that even possible?
我不相信……你不能相信他们在那些网站上发布的所有东西?
I don't believe... You can't believe everything they put on those websites, okay?
任何人都能写出那样的东西。这是小说。
Anyone can write that stuff. It's fiction.
-他们为此上了法庭。-我不相信。
- They went to court for it. - I don't believe it.
不可能。他没有向任何人开枪。
No way. He didn't shoot anyone.
我们就完蛋了。
We're screwed.
好了，就这样。
Okay, this is it.
1♥8♥9♥.
1♥8♥9♥.

Oh, come on. That's probably a joke.
…看起来很严重。
Mm... looks pretty serious.
我们绕到后面去。
Let's go around back.
