她对胜利充满信心

因为她知道生活教会了她

她是极乐公园园艺俱乐部的创始人

被视作洛杉矶最顶级的俱乐部
It's considered the finest in Los Angeles.
很高端
And it's very exclusive.
入会竞争非常激烈
The competition to get in is fierce.
会员总人数一次不超过二十人
They never have more than 20 members at a time,
但旺达的死意味着会有一个空缺
but Vonda's death means there'll be an opening.
通常我不敢做这种梦

我认为能拥有你这个成员

如果竞争真有你说的那么激烈 恐怕...
And if the competition is as fierce as you say, well...
你说得对
You're right.
我抱希望太天真了 当我没说
It's idiotic to get my hopes up. Forget I mentioned it.
好

然后集体投票

我只认得丽塔·卡斯蒂罗 她是主席
Except Rita Castillo, the club president.
我在你父亲的诊所见过她
I met her at your father's clinic.
去找她谈谈 她肯定会帮你
Talk to her. I bet she'd help you.
这可说不好
Oh, I don't know.
我跟她打过好多次招呼
I've introduced myself to her a few times,
她从来记不住我
but she never seems to remember me.
大概我不是那种过目难忘的人
Guess I'm just not very memorable.
要我说再试一次
I say give it one more try.
-算了 纯粹是浪费时间 -也许是这样
- Nah, I'd just be wasting my time. - Maybe.
不过那句老话怎么说的
But what's that old saying?
不入虎穴 焉得虎子
Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
好了
There.
边缝好了
Your hem is done.
太好了 我已经迟到太久了
Good, because I'm really late.
小迪
Dee?
我该怎么开口呢
How would I go about it?
总不能走到丽塔·卡斯蒂罗面前
I can't just walk up to Rita Castillo
张口就说 "我要进你们俱乐部"
and say, "I'd like to join your club."
这样不行吧
Can I?
过目难忘的女人就会这么说
It's what a memorable woman would do.
艾尔玛生活的可笑之处在于
