Fro:Look, there's no way we can convince people they need fresh motor oil every morning.

Ann: No, but you can let them know that yours is the cream of the crop-the purest motor oil in the world. [handing a cafe breva to Fro] Careful, hold it by the java jacket. This coffee drink has half and half-what do you think?

Fro:It tastes funny. Why can't people just stick to plain and simple coffee?

Ann: That's just the point! Purity is the essence of good coffee, right?

法洛： 聽著，我們不可能說服大家每天早上都需要新鮮機(jī)油的。

小安： 是不行，但你可以讓他們知道，你的機(jī)油是最好的——是世上最純的機(jī)油。(拿一杯布雷瓦咖啡給法洛)當(dāng)心，握住有咖啡隔熱套的地方。這杯咖啡里加的是一半牛奶、一半鮮奶油——你覺得呢?
