STEVE: Would you like some more of this punch 1?

SUSAN: No, I don't think so.

STEVE: Why not?

SUSAN: I'm afraid of it. It's sweet, but I think it's pretty strong.

STEVE: No, not at all. I've had five glasses already.

SUSAN: Yes, I can tell.

STEVE: What? Do you think I'm drunk 2?

SUSAN: No, I'm just kidding. But you do look like you're having a good time.

STEVE: So, c'mon. Have another glass of punch. It's just fruit juice.

SUSAN: It's not just fruit juice. But alright. I'll have one more glass.

KEVIN: Steve, are you trying to push that punch on poor Susan here?You shouldn't trust this guy, you know. He likes to see people get drunk.

STEVE: Oh, Kevin! How can you accuse 3 me?You are the one who made this punch. It's your party!I didn't pour the three bottles of vodka in it, did I?

KEVIN: There aren't three bottles of vodka in there, Steve.

STEVE: No, you're right. There are two bottles of vodka.

SUSAN: But you said it wasn't strong, Steve.And now you're saying there are two bottles of vodka in it.

STEVE: Yes, I guess you caught me there.

SUSAN: So how long have you been with the company?

STEVE: Two years. I was hired by Kevin here.

KEVIN: Yes, that was my mistake.

STEVE: Kevin likes to tease 4 me now, but it's true that he hired me.

KEVIN: He was really well-qualified for the job.You can see, Susan, that I didn't hire him for his good looks.

STEVE: You are very funny tonight, Kevin.

SUSAN: No, he seems good-looking enough to me.It's just maybe that his manners 5 aren't too good.

STEVE: I am in a room full of comedians 6 here.Are you both going to be making such good jokes at the office too?

KEVIN: No, we will have work to do at the office. We will let you make the jokes.But excuse me for a moment, I have to check on something in the kitchen.You behave here, alright, Steve?

STEVE: Yes, Ma'am. I'll be good. Would you like some more punch?

SUSAN: No, I don't think so.

史堤夫：你还要一点潘趣酒吗？

苏珊：不，我不这么认为。

史堤夫：为什么不呢？

苏珊：我有点害怕。它很甜，但我认为它很烈。

史堤夫：不，一点也不。我已经喝了五杯了。

苏珊：是的，我看得出来。

史堤夫：什么？你以为我醉了吗？

苏珊：我是开玩笑的。但你看起来是很兴奋的样子。

史堤夫：唉，少来了。再来一杯潘趣酒吧，只是果汁。

苏珊：它并不只是果汁，但好吧。我再来一杯。

凯文：史堤夫，你想把那杯潘趣酒推往可怜的苏珊吗？你不应该相信这家伙，你知道吗。他喜欢看别人喝醉。

史堤夫：喔，凯文！你怎么可以这样指控我？你调的潘趣酒，这是你办的派对！我并没有倒三瓶伏特加酒在里面，是吧？

凯文：那里并没有三瓶伏特加酒在里面吧，史堤夫。

史堤夫：你是对的，那里有两瓶伏特加酒。

苏珊：但你说它并不烈，史堤夫。现在你又说有两瓶伏特加酒在里面。

史堤夫：对，我想你是抓到我了。

苏珊：你在公司待多久了？

史堤夫：两年。我是凯文应征我进来的。

凯文：是，那是我犯的错。

史堤夫：凯文现在很喜欢戏弄我，但他应征我进来是真的。

凯文：他是真的具备我们所要的条件。你可以看到，苏珊，我并不是看他长的帅才聘请他的。

史堤夫：你今晚真有趣，凯文。

苏珊：不，对我来说他算是帅的。只是或许他的举止并不是很好。

史堤夫：我在一间充满喜剧演员的房间。你们是不是也要在办公室制造一些这样的玩笑呢？

凯文：不，我们在办公室要工作。我们让你来制造玩笑。但容许我离开一下，我要去厨房检查一下东西。你克制一下，好吗，史堤夫？

史堤夫：是的，女士。我会乖的。你还要点潘趣酒吗？

苏珊：不，我并不这么认为。
