  Hello. You're joining us again after Anna's call from Mr Lime(石灰). He asked her to lunch, remember? Now Anna and Denise are flapping(拍动). Before( 在…之前) you know it, he'll be asking you to marry(娶) him. Trust(相信) me, Anna, this has happened to me dozens(一打) of times.
  But I thought he was only interested in the lemons(柠檬). Please promise(允诺) me you won't mention(提到) this to anyone. Okay(好), I promise(允诺). Oh, shh. Good morning, ladies(女士). What's going on?
  Mr Lime has asked Anna to lunch. Please. And? And it's not to talk business. I saw him looking at her with big eyes from the moment he first saw her. Denise?
  Old slimy(粘糊糊的), limey, eh? Lucky(幸运的) Anna. He's not slimy, it's just... Don't tell me you said yes. Well, I didn't know what to say. You didn't?
  No, no. I said I was busy and would call back(在后). I wanted to just say no. But with everyone complaining(抱怨) that I'm not polite(有礼貌的) on the phone, I just... I didn't know how to say it politely(有礼貌地). All( 全部) right, well, I'll tell you what to say.
  Hang(挂) on. Let me write it down. Why do all the pens keep disappearing(不见)?
