影片對(duì)白：
Charlie: So happy you're here. This is the third open house and not one bite.
Anna: Well...Don't worry. I have everything under control.
Man: Anna, you are a realtor?
Anna: I'm a stager. I stage apartments for realtors. I transform ordinary spaces into something special. Most people don't know what it is they want until I show it to them, and so many places need my help. Oh! Not the Davenport, of course.
****************************
Anna: It's just a very fine line between elegant and dowdy. I just think maybe a quarter-inch higher. Plus an eighth of an inch? We'll get it right. Ow! You did that on purpose. Knock it off.
****************************
Woman: As I'm sure you're aware, apartments at the Davenport don't come up very often, and we have more than our share of applicants. So, why you?
Anna: I have lived in Boston my entire life, and I have always dreamed of living here. And thankfully, I have found somebody who shares that dream, and I can assure you that you will not find two people more in sync with your exceptionally high standards and, if I may be so bold, your taste.
Woman: Thank you.
****************************
Charlie: Wow! With a bit of luck, we might get some offers.
Anna: Come on, Charlie. You know it's not about luck. It's about preparation. Put these in the oven half an hour before you open and you'll have five offers before noon. No luck needed.
*****************************
Jeremy: Okay, say it with me. Three bedrooms.
Anna: Three bedrooms.
Jeremy: Concierge.
Anna: Concierge.
Jeremy: Full gym and swimming pool looking over the common. I mean, come on!
Anna: Don't get cocky.
Jeremy: Why, you don't think they liked us?
Anna: I like us. Don't you like us?
Jeremy: We're okay. All right. Okay. Here we go. Ready? And...
(Bleeps)
Jeremy: Ugly!
Anna: Excuse me?
Jeremy: Not you, sweetie. It's Mr. Sheinbaum e-mailing me updates of his double bypass.
Anna: I'm glad I skipped lunch.
Jeremy: No, no, no, this is good. This is good, because this way I don't have to go in. We can go to dinner.
Anna: Studio apartment, two offers already.
Jeremy: That's 'Cause you're a genius.
Anna: Have you packed yet? Your flight's at 11:00.
Jeremy: I'm fine, just you don't be late. We've got an 8:00 rez and they're strict.
Anna: When am I ever late?
Jeremy: When your dad comes out of the woodwork demanding to see his daughter, that's when.
Anna: I have to go, Jer. I haven't seen him in weeks.
Jeremy: Okay, just wouldn't want you allriled up for our very special dinner.
Anna: You know I don't like surprises.
Jeremy: You'll like this one. See you.
*******************************
Anna’s friend: Oh, Anna, this is gonna blow your mind!
Anna: What'd you buy?
Anna’s friend: A lot, I got a lot, but that's not it. I wanted to tell you something. Guess who I saw coming out of DePrisco's?
Anna: Who?
Anna’s friend: Jeremy!
Anna: You did? When?
Anna’s friend: On the way here. The cab was stuck in traffic and I look over, and he's walking out of the store carrying that little red bag.
Anna: The bag.
Anna’s friend: There's only one reason people go into DePrisco's. You're gonna have a better engagement ring than me, you big jerk!
Anna: Oh, my God.
Anna’s friend: Did you know?
Anna: No. I mean, I did put his name on the mailing list a couple months ago hoping he'd get the hint, but...
Anna’s friend: Oh! He got the hint! I think he got the hint! Okay, hold on, we gotta work on your surprise face, 'Cause I don't want him to know I told you...
Anna: Okay, ask me.
Anna’s friend: Ready? Will you marry me?
Anna: (Gasps)
Anna’s friend: What? Are you scared? That was awful. Try it again.
Anna: Okay.
Anna’s friend: Try it again. Mmm...Bigger eyes. And maybe a little, "Who, me?" The good news is, you have time to practice between now and then.
(Both laughing)
*****************************
Man: Can I marry you?
Anna: No, thank you.
Man: Already married, huh?
Anna: Getting engaged.
Jack: Engaged?
Anna: Dad.
Jack: My daughter is engaged? Garcon! Champagne! Let's have a couple of beers, banana.
Anna: I'll get them.
(Laughing excitedly)
Jack: You're gonna be married. Jack Brady. Import-export, real estate. Glad to meet you. She's been four years with the guy. What was he thinking? I proposed to her mother after a week!
Man: I proposed to her after half an hour.
Jack: (Laughing) Exactly! Where's the lucky guy?
Anna: Packing. He has a cardiology convention in Dublin.
Jack: It's a good thing that Jeremy finally came around. You might have had to follow him to Ireland this weekend. It is leap year, you know.
Anna: Dad, do not tell that story again.
Jack: (Laughing) Why not?
Anna: It's a family myth.
Jack: It is the honest-to-God truth! That's what Grandma Jane did to Grandpa Tom. They'd been dating for a while and he was dragging his feet, so she finally suggested they pay a visit to the old country. February 29th, Dublin, Ireland, she hits him with it. Boom! Ring on finger, signed, sealed, delivered.
Anna: Well, I'm not going to have to pull a Grandma Jane.
Jack: That's my girl. I'm finally going to get some grandkids.
(Chuckling)
Anna: Dad, I've got to go.
Jack: Mmm-mmm. No, I just got here!
Anna: Yeah, well, you were late. We said 7:00.
Jack: Oh!
