ACT 2-1 “这不是我所盼望的。”
Clerk: Right this way, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart. Well, it's small, but clean.
Richard: Clean? You call this clean?
Clerk: Have a nice stay.
Richard: Thank you. I don't believe this. Well, it isn't the Watermill Inn, but let's get a look at the view.
[He opens the shutters.]
Marilyn: How is the view?
Richard: Great, if you enjoy looking at a parking lot.
Marilyn: Well, maybe we'll see the view in the morning. Right now, we should clean up this room.
Richard: Sorry, Marilyn.
Marilyn: Why should you be sorry?
Richard: Well, the rain, the room, the view of the parking lot. It isn't the way I hoped it would be.
Marilyn: Stop blaming yourself. After all, we're here, we're alone, we're together. And I love you. Isn't that enough?
Richard: It is for me, but I wanted this weekend to be special for you.
Marilyn: It is special. Happy anniversary.
ACT 2-2 “我们应该面对现实。”
Richard: It's still raining. I want to play tennis.
Marilyn: I want some breakfast. Let's call room service and order nice breakfast, and then we'll figure out what to do today.
Richard: Right. [He goes to the telephone.] Would you give me room service, please? I beg your pardon? Oh, I see. They don't have room service at Old Country Inn.
Marilyn: Well, let's go down to the coffee shop.
Richard: They don't have a coffee shop. We can get our meals at Mrs. Montefiore's down the road.
Marilyn: That's OK, honey. I love walking in the rain.
Richard: Oh, you're being a really good sport about this, Marilyn, but I think we should face the truth.
Marilyn: What's that?
Richard: This is not the way to spend our fifth anniversary.
Marilyn: Well, what do you want to do?
Richard: Why don't we get in the car and drive home?
Marilyn: Oh, Richard, it really isn't that bad.
Richard: [He hugs her.] Do you want to stick it out for the whole weekend?
Marilyn: Well, I'll admit the room is uncomfortable.
Richard: Uh-hum.
Marilyn: And I do feel bad about your mother having to take care of the baby all weekend.
Richard: Why don't we just check out?
Marilyn: OK.
ACT 2-3 “这真是太好了！”
[The telephone rings.]
Marilyn: Hello? Yes, yes, this is she. Oh, hello! How nice of you to remember us! Yes, my husband did call. You do? Really? It won't be any trouble? Oh, yes, I think we'd like that very much. Fifteen minutes! Thank you. Good bye. [She hangs up, turns to Richard, and smiles.] You will never guess.
Richard: Uh… I give up.
Marilyn: Mrs. Montefiore from the Watermill Inn.
Richard: What is she calling about?
Marilyn: They have an opening. Someone just checked out, and Mrs. Montefiore has reserved the honeymoon suite for us.
Richard: You're kidding!
Marilyn: No. Isn't it wonderful?
Richard: It's fantastic! Oh, now all it has to do is stop raining. Let's go.
[They kiss, gather their bags, and leave.]
