Conversation对话
Ross: How did it go?
Phoebe: Um, not so good. He walked me to the subway and said, “we should do this again”.
Friends: Oh, ouch.
Rachel: What? He said, “we should do this again”. That’s good, right?
Monica: Uh, no. Loosely translated “we should do this again” means, “you will never see me naked”.
Rachel: Since when?
Joey: Since always. It’s like ‘dating language’.
You know, like “it’s not you”, means, “it is you.”
Chandeler: Or “you’re such a nice guy” means “I’m going to be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you.”
Phoebe: Or or, “I think we should see other people” means “haha, I already am!”
Rachel: And everybody knows this?
Joey: Oh yeah, cushions the blow.
