Terrance: What’s your name?
Carl: Carl.
Terrance: Let me guess, Carl. Someone talked you into coming here today, didn’t they?
Carl: Yes.
Crowd: Yes!
Terrrance: And you’re not sure about this, are you??
Carl: No.
Crowd: No man. No man. No man. No man.
Terrance: You’re dead, Carl. You say no to life, and therefore you’re not living. You make up excuses to the people around you and to yourself. You’re stuck in the same 14)dead-end job you have been for years. You don’t have a girlfriend. You don’t have anything close to a girlfriend. And you lost the love of your life because she couldn’t be with someone who didn’t live theirs. And on most nights you’re so bored and filled with 15)ennui. You can’t even 16)summon the enthusiasm necessary to 17)masturbate. Am I right, Carl?
Carl: I have had some trouble.
Terrance: We’re gonna make a 18)covenant, Carl. Do you want to make a covenant?
Carl: Ugh....
Terrance: The word is “yes”, Carl.
Crowd: Yes! Yes! Yes!
Carl: Yes!
Terrance: Once you leave this building, every time an opportunity presents itself, no matter what it is, you will say yes.
Crowd: Yes! Yes! Yes!
Carl: Yes. What if I say the other word??
Terrance: You’ll be making a promise to yourself. And when you break a promise to yourself, things can get a little 19)dicey. What do you say, Carl? Are you ready to make a covenant?
Carl: Yes.
Crowd: Yes!
Carl: Yes.
Crowd: Yes!
特倫斯:你叫什么名字?
卡爾:卡爾。
特倫斯:讓我來猜一下。有人叫你今天來聽演講的,是吧?
卡爾:是。
眾人:是!
特倫斯:看來你似乎不太相信我們這一套,是吧?
卡爾:不信。
眾人:不信先生,不信先生,不信先生,不信先生!
特倫斯:卡爾,你如行尸走肉。你對生活說不,代表你根本沒有活著。你總是對身邊的人編造各種借口,對你自己亦如是。多年來,你卡死在沒有出路的職位上,你也沒有女朋友,甚至連親密的女性朋友也沒有。你失去了生命中的最愛,因為她受不了跟一個活得如行尸走肉般的人在一起。無數個夜晚你都感到無聊且空虛。你連自慰的熱情都沒有。我說的對嗎,卡爾?
卡爾:我是遇到了些麻煩。
特倫斯:我們來達成個協議吧,卡爾。你想不想跟我訂立這個協議?
卡爾:呃……
特倫斯:說“好”,卡爾。
眾人:好!好!好!
卡爾:好!
特倫斯:從你離開這開始,任何出現在你面前的機會,無論是什么,你都得接受,說“好”。
