Alley: C'mon, Fiona. This is the third time this week you've said no to shopping.
Fiona: Oh girls. It's just terrible. We paid our annual health insurance bill this week.
Alley: Oh, now I get it.
Fiona: [Crying] The insurance was a hundred forty thousand for the year. And we're still paying off our US trip.
Alley: What did you do? Buy insurance for the whole world?
Fiona: Why...? Is a hundred forty thousand high?

阿 莉︰得了吧,费欧娜。这是你这星期第三次拒绝去逛街了耶。
费欧娜︰喔,姐妹们。真是糟透了。我们这星期刚付完今年的医疗保费。
阿 莉︰喔,原来如此。
费欧娜︰(呜咽)一年的保费要十四万元。而且我们还在付之前去美国玩的花费。
阿 莉︰你做了什么?为全世界买了保险?
费欧娜︰怎、怎么了……?十四万算很多吗?
