政♥府♥陷害德罗宁

敬每个人的成功
To a lot of success for everybody.
然后说 这比什么好

这比金子好
It's better than gold.
天啊 金子比这个可重多了
Gold weighs more than that, for God's sakes.
所有人都相信这表明
Everybody believed that the events were

我很早就问过陪审员一件事
One of the things I asked the jurors very early on was
如果我告诉你这不是毒品交易你会惊讶吗
"Would it surprise you if I told you you weren't seeing a drug deal?"
只要等一等然后看完全部影片
And just hang on and watch the whole movie.
在结尾 你会发现

在这期间 像詹姆斯·霍夫曼这样的

秘密线人的确可以通过
like James Hoffman can actually make a living
向缉毒局举报重量级罪犯来谋生
by introducing the DEA to high-level criminals.
约翰
John.
约翰 很高兴见到你
John, great to see you.
你也是 吉姆 好久不见了
You too, Jim. Been a while.
当时的情况
And in this case
对约翰·德罗宁来就是一场巨大的风暴
it's the perfect storm for John DeLorean.
吉姆第一次接触约翰
When Jim first approached John
相信他真的能帮助约翰
it seemed like a very farfetched idea
似乎是一个非常牵强的想法
that he'd be actually able to help John out.
这些投资者
These investors
但是吉姆抛出了一些对约翰来说

十分诱人的数据
very alluring to John.

从这里你们可以看得出
that we have made up that really can show you
我们是非常
how we're all set to --
没这个必要
There's no need.
他们不是那种
They're not exactly the kind of guys
愿意阅读文件的人

他们在做咖啡生意吗
They in the coffee business?
可以这么说
You might say that.
他们第一次见面的谈话没有被记录
They met and the first conversation was not recorded.
所以我们也不知道说了什么
So we don't really know what was said.
等到霍夫曼和德罗宁再次见面的时候
And it was when Hoffman then met with DeLorean.
那个时候 霍夫曼又来找瓦莱斯特拉
At that point, Hoffman comes back to Valestra
说 他想谈谈毒品生意
and says, "Yeah, he wants to talk dope."
我说 真的吗 那好吧 如果他这么说
I say, Really?" I mean, uh, well, if he, if he said that
约翰·瓦莱斯特拉

我们最好 找个地方好好谈谈
we'd better... have him say it again somewhere.
我们也确实这么做了
Which we did.
