影片对白：
Jeannie: Andie, it's brilliant. It's really moving. But it's never going to appear in Composure Magazine.
Andie: God, I busted2 my butt3 in grad school to be Andie Anderson, How to girl, and write articles like, How to Use the Best Pick-Up Lines and Do Blondes, Do They, Like, Really Have More Fun? I want to write about things that matter, Iike politics and the environment, and foreign affairs--things I'm interested in.
Jeannie: Keep busting4 your butt. You're going to get there. Hey, I've got something to cheer you up. You know that editor from Sports Illustrated5 that you have been shamelessly flirting6 with on the phone for... whoo, a month now? He made a little delivery this morning.
Andie: Ah, ha, ha, let me see.
Jeannie: Oh, no.
Andie: Hey! Tomorrow night.
Jeannie: What happens tomorrow night?
Andie: only the most exhilarating and artistic7 display of athletic8 competition known to mankind.
Jeannie: The lce Capades are in town?
Andie: No, the NBA Finals are in town, and I got tickets! Come with me?
Jeannie: All right, I'll go. But I am not putting out.
Andie: Two stale jumbo dogs and a couple of beers, you'll be whistling a different tune9.
Jeannie: You know what I like.
Girl: Good morning, ladies. Don't forget, staff meeting in 30 minutes.
Andie: Michelle-- haven't seen her all morning. Have you?
Jeannie: Ten to one she's wallowing.
Andie: It's my turn. I'll get her, you get the coffee, meet me in the corner in 20.
Jeannie: Wait, wait, wait. Here, take some samples.
Andie: Samples. Samples. Great idea.
Jeannie: Oh, boy. Drama, drama, drama.
妙语佳句 活学活用
1. bust1 one's butt: 十分卖力。影片中Andie指她在大学里用功念书，不是为了写这种无聊的文章的。看一下例子：He busted his butt for you.（他一直替你卖命。）
2. pick-up lines: 与异性偶然结识时的台词/说的话。pick up在口语中有与偶然结识（常指与异性调情）的意思。比如：He picked up a girl in the movies.（他在电影院结识了一个女孩。）
3. exhilarating: 让人振奋的，使人开心的。影片中Andie显然是一个疯狂的NBA球迷。请看例子：an exhilarating experience（一次让人愉快的历程）。
4. put out: 使出（力量等）。影片中Jeannie是指她可不想太麻烦，换言之，就是她不带吃的去。请看例子：He is criticized for not putting out.（他由于不努力而遭到批评。）
put out还有使不便捷，麻烦，打扰的意思。
比如：Don't put yourself out for my sake!（不要为我忙啦！）
5. jumbo dog: 即jumbo hotdog，热狗的一种，有些餐厅将它翻成生菜热狗。
6. ten to one: 十之八九，非常可能。请看例子：
Ten to one you'll miss your train.（你非常可能要赶不上火车了。）
7. wallow: 沉湎，纵乐。Jeannie是指Michelle肯定是由于玩得太疯了，所以早上没来上班。比如：wallow in luxury（沉湎于奢侈生活之中）；wallow in details（纠缠于细节）
