影片對白

Richard: All right, I'll drive the bus.

Sheryl: Richard, I was told explicitly not to leave Frank by himself. No offense, Frank.

Frank: None taken.

Richard: We're talking about it. You got Dwayne here. They can look after each other.

Sheryl: No, Richard! That's asking too much. I mean, if something happened-

Richard: We can't go, then, unless Dwayne and Frank go with us.

Olive: Mom, where's my bathing suit?

Frank: Right.

Sheryl: Frank?

Olive: I found it!

Frank: Okay.

Olive: I'm going! I'm going! I'm going!

Sheryl: Oh, Dwayne, come on, please. Think of your sister.

Richard: Come on, Dwayne. It'll be a lot of fun. You can go to the beach -

Dwayne: (writing) This is unfair. All I ask is that you leave me alone.

Sheryl: Dwayne, flight school. I will give you permission for flight school.

Olive: I won! I won! I won! I'm gonna win this one too!

Dwayne: (writing) But I'm not going to have any fun.

Frank: Yeah, we're all with you on that one, Dwayne.

Olive: Grandpa! Grandpa! Is Grandpa coming to California?

Sheryl: We're all coming, honey.

Richard: Hey, uh, hold on. Olive, come over here for a second. Come here. Sit down for a second. Look, there's no sense in entering a contest if you don't think you're gonna win. So do you think you can win Little Miss Sunshine?

Sheryl: Richard-

Richard: Are you gonna win?

Olive: Yes!

Richard: We're going to California.

Frank: Good night, Dwayne.

Dwayne: (writing) Please don't kill yourself tonight.

Frank: Not on your watch. I wouldn't do that to you.

Dwayne: (writing) Welcome to hell.

Frank: Thank you, Dwayne. Coming from you, that means a lot. Good night.

妙語佳句，活學活用

1. No offense

意思是"不是故意要冒犯你"，當你要提起某件對當事人來說有冒犯意味的事情時，最好要先說"no offense"，或是"not to offend you"，相當于事先道歉。我們在電影《哈利·波特與密室》中還見到過這樣的說法：Not to be rude or anything, but this isn't a great time for me to have a house-elf in my bedroom.

2. Hold on

我們學過的hold on的意思有"堅持，抓緊"，；例如：
Hold on to your hat in this wind.
The early Christians held on to their beliefs despite strong opposition.
Please hold on for a while longer.
Hold on 還可以表達打電話時要對方"等一下，不要掛斷電話"，例如：If you can hold on a minute I'll go and find her.

在這個片段中，hold on 表示的是"等一下"的意思，相當于我們在《哈利·波特與密室》（精講之一）中講過的 hang on。

3. On one's watch

這里watch 的意思是"守護，注意"的意思，on your watch 就是"在你的守護下"。Watch 做動詞時也可以用來表示同樣的意思，例如：
Who's watching the children while the parents are on vacation?
