你这么想 鲍?
You think so, Bob?
如果典狱长允许另换他人采访
If the warden will okay a replacement for the interview...
我就派哈维去
...l'll take Harvey out of that meeting.
让埃弗雷特去吧 - 史蒂夫正在休假

话题新闻 见鬼!
''An issue piece.'' Well, dog my cats!
这是死刑 阿兰
It's capital punishment, Alan.
今晚我们要处死一个人 要死的是个人
We are putting a man to death tonight. We are killing a human being.
别用官方口吻说话!
Stop the presses!
顺便提一句 那个艾米叫什么来着…
By the way, that Amy what'shername...
就是那个被弗兰克射穿喉咙的孕妇

...was she a human being? ls that part of the issue?
是的 那算是话题
Yeah, that is part of the issue.
让我告诉你…吃蛋糕吗? - 不吃
Let me tell you Cake? - No.
话题只是我们用来编些好故事的借口
