At the supermarket
Billy: Hey, Mom, let's get this!
Mom: Get your meat hooks off of that! I told you, don't touch anything.
Billy: I'm just trying to help.
Mom: You'll be more help by keeping an eye on your sister. I have to prepare for tonight's dinner.
Billy: Do we have to dress up tonight?
Mom: Yes, you do. Your dad will tell you what to wear.
Billy: Hey, maybe dad's boss would like to see Sidney.
Mom: If I see that snake out of its cage, your days are numbered, young man.

妈妈：把你的狗爪子拿开！跟你说过别碰任何东西。
比利：我只是想帮忙。
妈妈：你照顾一下妹妹就是帮大忙了。我必须准备今天的晚餐。
比利：我们今晚要盛装打扮吗？
妈妈：对。你爸爸会告诉你要穿什么。
比利：嘿，也许爸爸的老板会想看看雪黎。
妈妈：如果我看到那条蛇跑出笼子，你的好日子就不多了，小子。
