Rebecca: Loser.

Soda Customer: Hi, can I get a medium 7-Up?


Enid: ...Medium? Why sir, did you know that for a mere 25 cents more you can purchase a large beverage? And you know... I'm only telling you this because we're such good friends: Medium is really only for suckers who don't know the concept of value.

買汽水的客人︰嗨，我要一杯中杯的7-Up汽水。


艾妮︰...中杯？先生，你知道嗎，你只要多花25分錢，你就可以買大杯飲料。而且，因為你是我的好朋友，為了你好我要告訴你︰中杯其實是只賣給那些沒有「價值」觀念的笨蛋。
