Coupling – Flushed (1×01.6)

coupling Любовь на шестерых
А вот и последний отрывок из первой серии. Он достаточно большой (8 мин.) так что запаситесь терпением и временем. Также очень полезно еще раз посмотреть (без перевода, и по возможности не сильно заглядывая в субтитры) предыдущую часть серии. Возвращаться к пройденному – это один из важных методов изучения английского языка.

– Quality nice.
– Susan’s idea.
– She’s gonna be here in an hour.
– Do you know the biggest turn-off on a first date?
– You?
– Discussion of mutual friends.
– An hour?
– Yes. She’s having a facial.
– I’m trying to avoid someone.
– Who?
– Oh, my god!
– What?
– Have you been completely clear with her that it’s over?
– Hello, gorgeous.
– I got your lovely message.
You know, I feel quite flushed.
– How did you find me here?
– The usual.
– Alright. So what? You phoned my flat, found I wasn’t not there. Then you phoned all the local taxi companies, and found out which one had picked me up and where I’d gone. Then you phoned all the local restaurants and found out which one had my booking.
– Well, if I didn’t do that, how would we ever see each other? Remember the time I gave you such a big fright you almost fainted?
– Where was that?
– Prague.
– You should have seen his little face. He cried!
– Jane, listen.

– Oh, my god! The Zone really hates you.
– Hi. Didn’t expect you to be here already.
– Didn’t expect you. Thought you are having a facial.
– She cancelled.
– She cancelled?
– Yes. Okay. I was gonna cancel it anyway.
– Don’t really need it.
– Are you sure?
– What are you saying?
– Nothing. I’m just worried about your face.
– Jeff.
– Susan. Haha…Hi.
– I thought you are having a facial.
– It was cancelled.
– Cancelled?!
– Would you want me to have a word with him?
– Hello.
– Hello.
– I’m Jane, Steve’s girlfriend.
– Susan. Pleased to meet you.
– You have a girlfriend?!
– Well, аt the moment.
– At the moment!
– You are early.
– You are seeing this woman?
– No, no, no, not for another hour. Okay. Yes. Yes, we are on a date.
– I’m sorry, Steve, but I simply won’t tolerate that.
– I’m very fond of you and I hope we’ll always be friends, but I’m afraid this relationship is now over.
– Yes.
– Sorry. Just like that?
– I’m afraid so.
– I just wished you had said something.

– Somebody wanna tell me what’s going on?
Sally, what are you doing here?
– I was feeling guilty. I should never have cancelled you facial.
– Patrick?
– Hi.
-What exactly is going on here?
– You are asking me? I can’t believe you are using our restaurant for you date! That’s so thoughtless.
– Patrick, you are using our restaurant and my friend for your date.
– Okay, you win that one.
– So let me guess, you asked him out the moment I dumped him. Sally, you don’t even like him.
– I panicked. My neck looked old this morning.
– We’ll talk later.
– Steve, you and I will talk now.
– Well. Anyway… Here we all are on Steve and Susan’s 1st date. Isn’t this great? Let’s all have dinner and plan the future. Table for 6?
– Jeff…
– What are you doing? You worry we’re gonna talk about you or something?
– No.
– What is there to say? You know about him and me. Right? The nervous thing?
– Well, yes, but don’t worry about it. Jeff makes loads of women nervous.
– You made me nervous? You told him you made me nervous?
“Mr. I’ve Lost All Feeling Down My Left Side.”
“Mr. I Think All My Joints Locked Together, Can You Carry Me Home?”
– Jeff?
– Didn’t he tell you? He fainted.
– Yeah, but I was only faking it so that I wouldn’t have to have sex with you! That wasn’t a great defense, was it?

– Sex can be very stressful for men. You judge us on technique, sensitivity, stamina.
We’re just happy if you’re naked…half naked…one breast.
– Oh, Jeff. I can’t believe what I’m hearing.
– Yeah. Well, you won’t be hearing it anymore. I’m staying and monitoring the rest of your conversation.
– Jeff, I wanna talk to Steve privately.
– No. No. You are both friends of mine. If you get together, it affects me. I’m a legitimate part of this date.
– Go away, Jeff.
– Please. What do we have to do here? Beg? Show you a breast?
– Look, all I’m saying is that … Okay.
– What?
– Okay.
– Okay what?
– Okay on the breast thing. I’ll go in exchange for the breast.
– I wasn’t serious.
– Too late. I was.
– You’ve already seen them.
– Yeah. During a panic attack, I was blind.
– You can take them now?
– Well, singly.
– I wasn’t serious, Jeff. You really think I’m gonna flush you in public?

– We are in a corner. I don’t think anyone else will see.
– Patrick. What are you doing? I mean, you’ve seen them lots of times.
– Yeah, but now, you are an ex.
– Oh Yeah! It’s the best!
– What are you two doing?
– Always good to see a friend’s breast, unsupported
– And I just like looking at breasts.
– Oh, this just gets better and better.
– Will you people get it into your heads? I’m not doing this. Steve!
– Just in case you do do it. You know, technically, I’m on a date with you. I don’t wanna end up a breast behind everybody else.
– Actually, Susan, that’s fair.
– I agree.

– D’you know what? I am gonna do this. I’m gonna do this just to show you how low, pathetic and desperate you’ve all become.
– Result!
– But I want you to remember, I intend this breast satirically.
– Now there’s a sentence that can’t come out too often.
– Okay.
– Which one? Any preference?
– Either.
– Don’t mind.
– The right one. Trust me.
– What wrong with the left one?
– Don’t be like that. There has to be a second place.
– I wasn’t aware you’d assessed them individually.
– You’re asleep. I was bored.
– Fine. But remember this is to show you how low you have sunk.
– Yeah, but we get to see a breast. Right?
– Yes.
– Cool.
– Ok. Here we go. Fire one.
– No, no. That’s the left. We want the good one.
– If you only could see how stupid you all look.

– Table for 6, please.
– I’m sorry. I think we are fully booked.
– She’s got another one just like it, you know.
– Yeah, well, pretty much.
– Patrick.
– Perhaps, we are not fully booked. Let me go and see what I can do.
– I thought the plan was to get rid of everyone.
– New plan. Let’s see. Your ex, my ex; your best friend, my best friend.
– Every new relationship has baggage, so why not invite it all out for dinner.
– So I take this isn’t a date any more.
– Or is it? Are we still …
