幻想着 嘿 为什么不是我 thinking, hey, why not me?
你希望得到什么 What do you expect with only
三个新闻站坐落在艾伦镇 three news outlets in Allentown?
所有的新闻都要报导吗 All of the news to be reported?

关于艾伦镇的大小 as to the size of Allentown.
根据最新的人口普查报告 According to the latest census reports,
有超过11万8千人生活在我们的城市 we have over 118,000 people living in our city,

你会习惯的 You'll get used to it.
谁来管理这些 Who runs the books?
好吧 是你爸爸雇我来的 Well, your dad hired me to,

营销还有操作 marketing, and operations.
就是这样 That's it.
好吧 就是这样 Yep, that's it.
我的意思是 没有PNL 或其他东西 I mean, there's no PNL, or something like that?

我是说 你爸爸有很多时候 I mean, there were a lot of days your dad
真的很纠结 但是他总能找到办法 really struggled, but he always found a way
让电台保持活力 to keep the station alive.
所以这里没有人知道 So there's no one here that knows
电台的财务状况 the financial status of the station.
嗯 吉泽贝尔可能会 Hm, Jezebel might.
她在这里待的时间最长 She's been here the longest.
嗯 你能去叫她一下吗 Well, can you go get her for a second?
她还要继续广播两个小时 She's on air for another two hours.
我应该怎么管理电台呢 How am I supposed to run a radio station
我什么都不知道 when I don't know anything about it?
拜托 无线电已经在你的血液里了 Come on, radio's in your blood.
不 我对无线电业务一无所知 No, I know nothing about the radio business.
你爸爸也不懂 And neither did your dad.
他只是跟着他的身体走 而你的身体里有他的基因 He just went with his gut, and in your guts is his DNA.
听着 我不知道该怎么和你说 但是你可以的 Look, I don't know what to say, but you can do this.
我得想办法保住他的遗产 I got to find a way to save his legacy.

欢迎你的到来 凯西 Welcome, Casey.
凯西 感谢你的到来 Casey, thanks for being here.
好吧 谢谢你邀请我 Yeah, thanks for having me.
可以谈谈你的经历吗 Tell me a little bit about your background first.
好吧 我从父亲那里继承了这个职位 Well, I inherited the station from my father,
他在几个月前去世了 who passed away a few months ago.
在那之前我是一名住在圣塔莫尼卡的漫画家 And before that I was a cartoonist living in Santa Monica.
你们的电台已经发生了很多变化 And your station has seen a lot of platform changes
在这些年里 不是吗 over the years, hasn't it?
是的 我父亲喜欢与时俱进 Yeah, my father liked to move with the times.
然后现在你是一个播放另类音乐的电台 And now you're an AM station playing alternative music.
是的 他觉得电台模式得进步 Yeah, he felt that AM programming was moving
更适应另类人群 所以他想 more towards the alternative crowd, so he thought,
你知道 坚持和他们在一起 他们是忠实粉丝 you know, stick with them, and they're the loyal fans.
几点了 What time is it?
三点四十五 3:45.
就是这样 Here it is.
哇 Wow.

很感谢你们能来见我 I appreciate you guys meeting with me.
我在尝试努力把一切都安排好 I've been trying to get everything together
自从我爸爸去世后 我手足无措 since my dad passed away, and I'm not really sure how
他经营这个地方这么长时间了 你们能想象吗 he kept this place going for as long as he did, you know?
事实上我只有两个月的存款 Basically I have about two months' savings
来维持这里 我想的是 to keep this place going, and what I'm thinking is
我们必须提高效率 来增加收入 we got to raise the rates and bring in the income.
我们得需要更好的收视率来做到这一点 Don't we need better ratings to be able to do that?
是的 Yeah.
好吧 我的意思是 你们更专业一点 Well, I mean, you guys are the professionals,
我不会装明白 I'm not gonna pretend like I know what I'm doing here,
所以如果你们什么想法 so if you have any ideas.
听着 我们没有钱来 Look, do we even have any money for like,
搞宣传 a promotional thing?
我不确定人们是否还知道我们的存在 I'm not sure people still know we exist.
很多电视台都是这样做的 Lots of stations do it to get their brand out there.
赞助一些节目 或者 You sponsor some shows, or...
那要花多少钱 How much would that cost?
几千块吧 A couple thousand.
是的 我们可以做个比赛 Yeah, we could do a contest.
好的 什么样的比赛 Okay, what kind of contest?
我不知道 你知道 得是一些特别的事情 I don't know, you know, something that's memorable.
嘿 我们还拥有那个广告牌吗 Hey, do we still own that billboard?
我不清楚 I have no idea.
等等 什么 我们有个广告牌吗 Wait, what, we own a billboard?
你不知道广告牌的事 You don't know about the billboard?
-不知道 -不 - No. - No.
妈的 这广告牌是我爸买的 Shit, my dad bought this billboard.
我们可以在上面干点什么 是的 随便什么 We built forts on it, yeah, whatever.
去看看我们是否还有广告牌 Go find out if we still own the billboard.
好的 Okay.
在罗斯罗克的停车场 It's on the Rothrock parking lot.
没错 你说对了 老板 Yep, you got it, boss-man.
我想到了 I got it.
我们要举办一场广告牌居住比赛 We're gonna hold a billboard sitting contest.
什么 What?
是的 三四个住在广告牌上的人 Yeah, three, four people living on a billboard.
会赢得奖品 To win a prize.
太愚蠢了 That is the stupidest.
伙计 Dude.
这是我听过的最疯狂的想法 Craziest idea I've ever heard.
好吧 也许这很疯狂 但已经足够疯狂了 Okay, maybe it's crazy, but maybe it's crazy enough
让人们收听并保住我们的工作 to get people to tune in and save our jobs.
好的 就像电视真人秀一样 不过是在广播里 Okay, so it would be like reality TV, but on the radio.
差不多 就是这样 Exactly, something like that.
听起来很有意思 可以试试看 It's pretty smart, that could work.
谢谢你 Thank you.
不 就这样 太完美了 好吗 No, this is it, this is perfect, okay?
它可能会改变电台的命运 It could change radio.
慢点 威尔斯 Slow down, Welles.
奥森·威尔斯 Orson Welles.

总之 这将是一场后勤噩梦 Anyway, it's gonna be a logistical nightmare.
我的意思是 一个真正的后勤方面的噩梦 I mean, a really big logistical nightmare,
但是我不知道要干什么 but I don't have anything going on.
所以你是要加入我们 对吗 So you're in.

一张来自林德韦勒的支票 a check from Lindeweiler.
我的时间很宝贵的 宝贝 My air costs money, baby.
到目前为止 你最喜欢的景点是什么 What has been your favorite XXX sighting so far?
我当时想模仿一下电台播音员 I was just trying to be radio.
模仿电台播音员吗 You were trying to be radio?
我本来试着通过广播说960 I was trying to be radio by saying 960 thousand,
你知道 就像我们的电台名字 960 you know, like our call letters, nine six thousand.
不是96万美元 Not $960,000.
是的 但是正常人不明白 Yeah, but normal people don't understand that.
我们该怎么办 What are we gonna do?
我们最好现在就辞职 这太疯狂了 We might as well just quit right now, this is insane.
嘿 我打了几个电话 Hey, I made some calls.
嘿 伙计 服务器坏了 Hey, Junior, servers are down.
我想说的是 关于比赛的消息已经传开了 Like I was gonna say, news about the contest is spreading.
我们去了费城和纽约的酒吧 We hit the Philly and the New York pubs.
这可能会破坏平衡 This may break national.
是的 那很好了 Yeah, that's great and everything,
但是我们怎么付这笔钱呢 伙计们 but how are we gonna pay for this, you guys?
我们现在在评估 We're in the ratings basement right now,
我们打算收费 大概20美元一个车位 and we're charging, what, like 20 bucks a spot?
我们把这些加起来 怎么样 So we add that all up, and what do we get?
我们大约能收回多少钱 We get like.
我不知道 I don't know.
大概 300吧 Equals what, like, 300.
冷静 好吗 Chill, okay?
别着急 让我们慢慢来 Just give it some time, let's just ride this out
看看会发生什么 and see what happens.
所有的这些关注肯定会提高收视率 All this attention is bound to drive up ratings,
然后我们可以增加我们的收益 and then we can increase our rates.
有时候 不需要发表任何正式声明 Give it some time, don't make any official statements,
然后坐享其成吧 and just ride the buzz.
好吧 乘势而上 Okay, riding the buzz,
这真是个绝妙的办法 that's an absolutely great punchline.
艾贝尔 你在这里待的时间比任何人都长 Jezebel, you've actually been here longer than anybody.
我爸爸会怎么做 What would my dad do?
他会利用舆论 和利用媒体 He would ride the buzz, and he would use the press
他的优势 他会忽略 to his advantage, and he would ignore
他桌上的那堆帐单 真是有其父必有其子 the pile of bills on his desk, so like father like son.
哦 我的上帝 Oh my god.
听起来这是个超级好的建议 Sounds like that's super great advice.
所以我甚至不能和媒体讲话 So I can't even talk to the press.
我们要怎么宣传呢 伙计们 How are we gonna promote this, you guys?
给我点建议 Give me something.
你不需要 You won't need to.
不要在电台公布真正的奖品 Just promote the real prize on the station,
然后在比赛前一周 and a week before the contest,
向媒体更正 make a correction to the press.
啊 所以我对媒体撒谎 这真是个天才的想法 Ah, so I lie to the press, that's the genius idea
现在 对媒体撒谎 right now, lie to the press.
伙计 等等 等等 Dude, wait, hold on.
这不是撒谎 是媒体搞错了 It's not lying, the press screwed up.
我们没有 We didn't.
我会纠正它的 会好起来的 We'll correct it, and it will be fine.
天啊 你什么都不知道吗 God, don't you know anything?
当他们发现我们没有 When they find out that we don't have
比如一百万美元 a million dollars, for instance,
选手们会怎么做 what are the contestants gonna do?
他们会杀了我的 They're gonna kill me.
没人会杀你的 No one's gonna murder you,
而且人们仍然想要参与其中 and people will still wanna be a part of this.
相信我 Trust me.
那个展位现在什么都没发生吗 Why is there nothing happening in that booth right now?
该死 Goddammit!
主持人一直不说话会让观众调台的 罗尼 Dead air kills radio, Ronny!
很抱歉 伙计们 老板需要安慰 Sorry about that, folks, boss-man needed some stroking.
浴火重生 To rise from the ashes to become a phoenix.
我想参加 I'm thinking about entering
这个广告牌比赛 that billboard contest.
是的 我也是 Yeah, me too.
我们可以一起 We should do it together.
是啊 不过我得问问我父母 Yeah, I'll have to ask my parents though.
你的生活真的那么糟糕吗 Is your life really that bad
你想住在广告牌上吗 that you would want to live on a billboard?
如果你想谈谈 就给电台打个电话 Call into the station if you wanna talk about it.

哦天哪 他太可爱了 Oh my gosh, he's so cute!
哦 这可是粉丝们的爱 Well, quite the fan favorite.
由于这次活动没有相应的分区许可证 What do you plan on doing about the city
所以有关部门想要终止这次活动 trying to shut you down because
对此你有什么想法和打算 you don't have the appropriate zoning permits?
哦 我说 让他们罚我们吧 Well, I say, you know, let 'em fine us.
我是说 我们想为社会做点什么 I mean, we're trying to do something for the community,
如果市政厅里有人认为 and if somebody down at city hall thinks that
我们违反了某种古老的分区法规 we've violated some sort of archaic zoning code,
法律 或者其他什么东西 你知道 请带它过来 law, or something that like, you know, bring it on.

喂 Hello?

那又怎样 So what?
乔希 他赢了他们愚蠢的比赛 So, Josh, he just won their stupid little contest
他使出了绝技 with that stunt he pulled.
好吧 对他来说是好事 Well, good for him.
但这是以我们为代价的 But it was at our expense.
你想让我怎么做 What do you want me to do about it?
我不知道 I dunno.
也许做点什么 做点什么 Maybe do something, do anything.
你不能取消他的资格吗 I can't disqualify him.
告诉你 他穿着WXNT的t恤 If I disqualify him, we'll look like pussies, come on.
你不能取消他的资格吗 You can't disqualify him?
告诉你吧 他穿着WXEN的t恤 Well, for your information, he's wearing a WXEN t-shirt
就在我们的广告牌上 on our billboard right now.
这是媒体 但是 这是好的媒体 It's press, though, it's good press.
它会没事的 It'll be fine.
别担心 Don't worry about it.
你真是个混蛋 你知道吗 You're a real jerk off, you know that?
真是混蛋 Real jerk off.
是的 没错 Yeah, right.
嗯 嘿 你好 我是克拉克 Uh, yeah, hi, I'm calling about Clark,
广告牌选手之一 the billboard contestant.
他带了一把吉他 He carried a guitar up there with him when he
在广告牌上 但不在他的背包里 went up on the billboard, and it wasn't in his backpack.
他们可以在上面放别的东西 They're allowed to have other stuff up there.
《阿肯色州公报》上有个照片很清楚地照到了 There's a picture in the Gazette that clearly shows him
他去那里的时候带着一把吉他 carrying up a guitar with him when he went up there,
但是在你的网站上你说只能拿 and on your website it states that you can only take up
能装进背包的东西 what you can fit into your backpack.
亨利 你在哪儿 Henry, where are you?
你在听吗 Are you listening?
我不知道 我去 I don't know about that, I'm gonna have to
调查一下 好吗 look into that, okay?
谢谢 Thank you.
刚才克拉克打电话来说 Somebody just called in there saying Clark
他有一把不在背包里的吉他 carried a guitar up there that wasn't in his backpack.
好吧 把他弄下来 Great, let's get him down.
我们应该怎么做 How should we do it?
用最简单的方法 Easiest way possible.
好吧 我们是该打电话给媒体呢 还是怎么做 Well, should we call the press or should we just do it?
就这样吧 让我们制造一点新闻 Just do it, let's create some news.
好吧 All right.
我们去广告牌那儿 We're going to the billboard.
哦我的天 嘿 凯西 Oh my god, hi, Casey!
嘿 伙计们 Hey guys.
你在这里干什么呢 What are youz doing up here?
怎么了 伙计 我能为你做什么 What's up, man, what can I do for ya?
我不想这么对你 但你被取消资格了 Well, I hate to do this to you, but you're disqualified.
真的吗 Really?
你疯了吗 You out of your mind?
我做了什么 I've done nothing.
你得收拾你的东西 好吗 You got to pack up your stuff, okay?
走吧 Get going.
伙计 等等 我什么都没做 Dude, step up, I haven't done anything.
你要对这事大惊小怪吗 You gonna make a big deal about this?
哦 是的 他会激动地尖叫 Oh yeah, he's gonna be kickin' and screamin'
像个小女孩 like a little girl.
伙计 我做了什么 Dude, what did I do?
噢 好像你还不知道 Oh, like you don't know.
你把吉他带上来了 You carried your guitar up here with you.
是的 所以呢 Yeah, so?
它不在你的背包里 It wasn't in your backpack,
这是违反规定的 it's against the rules.
你就因为这个抓他 You're busting him for that?
我以为是因为他在卖毒品 I thought it was 'cause he was selling drugs.
无论如何 老兄 Whatever, dude.
是我和两个女孩 我要赢了 伙计 It's me and two girls, I'm gonna win, dude!
但你知道有个参赛者 But you did know that one of the contestants
在广告牌上有卖毒品吗 was selling drugs up on the billboard?
不 我们是在他被取消比赛资格后才发现的 No, we found that out after he was disqualified,
我们完全 we were completely...
但你不是一直在拍摄吗 But weren't you filming the entire time?
不 事实上 我们有太阳能视频 No, actually, we have a solar-powered video feed
这个有点劣质 所以 that's a bit shoddy, so.
你没注意到广告牌上有个毒贩 So you missed that you had a drug dealer on the billboard.
是的 这很不幸 Yeah, unfortunately.
我们确实没有发现 We did.
我们发出了一封中止信 We delivered a cease and desist letter
9月1日发给了林德韦勒先生 to Mr. Lindeweiler on September 1st,
在他开始坐广告牌比赛的那天 the day that he started his billboard sitting contest,
因为他没有申请适当的分区许可证 because he did not apply for the appropriate zoning permits.
他决定不顾法律 我们现在别无选择 He decided to ignore the law, and now we have no choice
但是为了结束他的比赛 but to put an end to his contest.
警察局长麦克拉里和消防部门 Police Chief McLeary and the fire department
将协助获得参赛者 will be assisting in getting the contestants
一天结束时从广告牌上下来 down from the billboard by the end of day.
非常感谢你们的到来 Thank you very much for being here.
WTYT对参赛者负责任吗 What would WTYT's responsibility be to the contestants
如果你要结束比赛的话 if you're ending the contest?
我不知道他比赛的规则 I don't know the rules to his contest,
我只知道这个城市的法律 I simply know the laws of the city.
他违反了哪项分区法 Which zoning law is he breaking?
林德韦勒没有申请许可证 Lindeweiler did not apply for a permit.
他会把奖金分给大家吗 Will he be splitting the prize money among
剩下的三个选手呢 the three remaining contestants?
等我们把他们弄下来你们问他吧 You'll have to ask him after we get them down.
他需要什么许可证 What permit would he have needed?
谁会得到移动房屋呢 Who will get the mobile home?
我不知道 你们得问 I don't know, you'll have to take that up
林德韦勒先生 with Mr. Lindeweiler.
你担心民意调查吗 Are you worried that the polls...
琼森市长 你能回答我的问题吗 Will you answer my question, Mayor Jonson?
哦 珍妮特 你能不再追问了吗 Oh, Janet, would you let it go?
如果他继续无视法律 I mean, if he continues to disregard the law,
我们必须得阻止他 we're just gonna have to cut him off.
林德威勒先生违反了什么法律 What law is Mr. Lindeweiler breaking?
他没有去分区委员会 He didn't go before the zoning committee
询问他是否能举行比赛 to inquire whether or not he could hold his contest.
那不是我要问的 That wasn't my question.
他到底违反了什么法律 What law exactly is he breaking?
辛迪 你能帮我回答一下吗 Cindy, can you help me with this one?
好吧 分区法规定没有人可以居住 Well, the zoning law states that no one can reside
在一个商业地带 in a commercially-zoned property.
这是什么意思 What do you mean in?
这是非法占用者的权利 对吗 There's squatter's rights, correct?
或者得逮捕每一个无家可归的人 Or every homeless person could be arrested,
照你们的律法的话 according to your law.
好吧 如果房主不让他们离开 Well, if the property owner doesn't ask them to leave,
他们可以住在那里 they're allowed to reside there.
好吧 镇长 林德韦勒先生什么时候问你的 Okay, mayor, when did Mr. Lindeweiler ask you
或者当局要求移除参赛者 or the authorities to remove the contestants
从他举办的比赛中 from the contest he created?
市长 Mayor?
哦 哦 好吧 珍妮特 你把我逼得走投无路了 Oh, oh, okay, Janet, you got me against the ropes,
在最后一轮中 比如 and in the final round, at that.
我的意思是 应该有一些妥协 I mean, there should be some compromise.
如果林德韦勒切断电源 If Lindeweiler cuts the electricity
对所有的参赛者停止喂食 to all the contestants and stops feeding them,
他们就可以留下来 then they can stay.
这样的话 根据你说的 That way, according to your own research,
他们确实是擅自占用者 因此就可以留下来 they would indeed be squatters, and thus could remain.
所以你希望他们挨饿 So you want them to starve.
有时需要一个社区 Sometimes it takes a community.
我们需要互相支持 We need to support one another.
哦 狗屎 Oh, shit.
什么 What?
看看这个 Read this.
这是什么 What's this?
现在他们切断了我们的电 Now they're cutting our electricity.
我们不能给参赛者食物 And we can't feed the contestants,
否则他们会让我们关门的 or they're gonna shut us down.
什么 他们为什么要这么做 What, why would they do this?
这意味着供给会变少 That means the feeds are gonna go down,
我怎么知道发生了什么 how am I gonna know what's going on?
凯西 监视器是太阳能的 Casey, the monitors are solar-powered.
给我一点时间 我可以转这个 Just give me a second, I can spin this.
不 我们不能转这个 这太疯狂了 No, we can't spin this, this is insane.
我们要让这些人挨饿吗 We're gonna starve these people?
我们这里有市里来的律师 Um, we have lawyers here from the city
需要现在见你 that need to see you now.
我来处理 I'll handle it.
你做了什么 What did you do?
啊 你能来真是太好了 Ah, it's nice of you to show up.
人们说你们不能再给我们吃的了 People are saying you got to stop feeding us.
电怎么了 What happened to the electricity?
伙计们 听着 Guys, listen.
是的 我有个坏消息 Yeah, I got some bad news.
这个城市不会让我这么做 The city is not gonna let me
不让再给你们任何东西了 give you guys anything any more.
-什么 -为什么你现在要停下来 - What? - Why youz got to stop now?
是的 因为我应该得到 Well, it turns out I was supposed to get
某种分区委员会的许可之类的 some sort of permit from the zoning committee or something
才可以让你们住在这里 to let you guys live up here.
我们得下来吗 We have to get down?
不不不 只是我不能 你知道 No, no no no, it's just that I can't, you know,
喂你们吃的 或者再给你们水喝 feed you guys or give you water any more.
你能说得更具体一点吗 Can you be a little more specific?
说实话 这有点复杂 Well, it's kinda complicated, honestly.
我们哪儿也不去 We're not going nowhere,
你有足够的时间来解释 you got all the time in the world to explain.
好吧 我这样解释的 Well, it was explained to me like this.
你们可以待在那里 You guys can stay up there,
因为广告牌是我的 对吧 because I own the billboard, right?
唯一的问题是 我要把你们当霸占者来对待 Only thing is, I got to treat you guys like you're squatters.
你知道 就像你们是无家可归的人 You know, like you're homeless people.
我是说 只要我能接受 So I mean, as long as I'm okay with it,
很明显我完全同意 你们可以呆在上面 which obviously I'm fine, you can stay up there
你想要多久就多久 as long as you want.
我不能提供给你 It's just that I can't provide for you
否则我就违规了 or I'm breaking the law.
但我们还在竞争中 But we're still in the contest.
WXEN为我提供了比你更多的东西 You know, WXEN provides for me more than youz do.
乔希 这不是我的计划 Look, Josh, I didn't plan this, okay?
不是我干的 This wasn't my doing.
就只是你没有朋友 对吧 You just don't got a lot of friends, do ya?
这是法律好吗 你想让我怎么做 It's the law, okay, what do you want me to do about it?
好吧 如果我没有电话 Okay, how am I supposed to communicate with people
我怎么跟别人交流 if I ain't got a phone?
写信啊 Well, I can bring you mail.
你逗我呢吧 Are you serious?
怎么 你想被淘汰吗 What, are you thinking about getting down?
当然没有 Hell no.
都冷静一下好吗 Everybody just calm down, okay?
我们要做的是 What we're gonna do is we're gonna get
让社区为你提供所需 明白吗 the community to provide for you, you know?
只要不是我 就不算违规 As long as it's not me, then it's not breaking the law,
大家都很爱你 所以这很简单 and everybody loves you guys, so it's gonna be easy.
根本就说不通 That doesn't even make sense.
如果你想让我们都淘汰 Look, if youz want us all to get down,
你就得给我们每人一个奖品 then you got to give us each a prize.
不不不 我不想让你淘汰 No no no no no, I don't want you to get down.
这是我最不希望你做的事 知道吗 That's the last thing I want you to do, okay?
谁会赢得9.6万美金 I mean, who's gonna win the 96k?
我 I am.
机会渺茫 Fat chance.
我们拭目以待 We'll see.
我会想办法的 Hey, I'm gonna work it out, okay?
没有人会挨饿 Nobody's starving up there.
没错 好了 Yeah, okay.
我们可以发起一场 We could create a contest like
像饥饿驱动力一样的竞赛来支持他们 a hunger drive to support them.
把车装满 Fill up the truck or something.
但我们不能给参赛者提供食物 Yeah, but how do we get the contestants food
我们要怎么给他们 if we can't even give it to them?
在我们需要帮助和真正为选手做些有用的事情 There's a fine line between us being in need
之间有一条微妙的界线 and actually doing something useful for the contestants.
如果我们在社交媒体上举办一场比赛 What if we had a contest on social media,
人们下去和参赛者合影 and people go down and they take selfies
谁得到的赞或转发最多 with the contestants and whoever gets the most likes
谁就会赢得什么 or retweets wins something?
对 我们可以这么做 Yeah, we could do that.
是的 因为人们会 Yeah, 'cause people would be forced to
被迫为我们传话 spread the word for us, and it would be
这会帮助到参赛者 helping the contestants.
对 我们可以带一个新奇一点的标签话题 Yeah, we could have like, a flashy hashtag or something.
我不确定 I dunno.
奖品是什么 Sure, but what do they win?
没错 给WTYT 960的参赛选手 That's right, bring the great WTYT 960
带点零食 billboard sitting contestants a snack,
在带有支持WTYT 960标签的 take a selfie at the billboard with the hashtag
公告牌前面拍照 support the WTYT 960 billboard sitters,
在社交媒体上分享 你可能 share it across social media, and you could win
会赢得一个生存套装 a WTYT billboard survival kit.
WTYT 960 唯一的 WTYT 960, your only
选择是摇滚电台 alternative rock AM station.
嘿 叶西比 Hey, Jezebel.
怎么了 Yeah, what's up?
能过来一下吗 Can you come in here for a second?
当然 怎么了 Yeah, what's going on?
来 把门关上 Here, close the door.
发生什么了 What's up?
坐下好吗 Can you have a seat?
一切都还顺利吗 Is everything okay?
嗯 Yeah.
是我被解雇了吗 Am I getting fired?
不 不是的 你开玩笑吧 No, no, are you kidding me, no!
那我为什么会在这里 Okay, then why am I here?
好吧 其实是我有个很蠢的问题要问 All right, actually, I have a really stupid question.
广告商是怎么知道 How do the advertisers know
他们的广告是什么时候播出的呢 when their spots are being aired?
我只是不太了解这些 I just don't know this stuff.
就在这 It's right here.
我们在某人的媒体收购结束时发送这个 We send this at the end of somebody's media buyout.
这是他们的收据 This is their receipt, and they have the exact time
他们的广告播出的准确时间 很简单 that their spot was aired, it's very simple.
哇哦酷 所以我们要告诉他们 Oh, cool, so we tell them.
对 Yes.
啊 厉害 Ah, cool.
等等 为什么问这些 Wait, why?
我只是在学习这些东西 No, I'm just, I'm just learning this stuff,
想弄明白这些 I'm just trying to figure it out.
好了 我得去直播了 Well, I've got to go on air now.
好的 抱歉 Yes, sorry.
这很了不起 So it's been something.
还有一个问题 Just one more question though,
电视台里谁负责广告商的日程安排 who at the station does the scheduling for the advertisers?
J.C. J.C., okay?
直播顺利 Have a great show.
你今天真好看 You look great.
WXEN 嗨 WXEN, yeah, hi.
我得告诉你 里奥 我是你的超级粉丝 I got to tell you, Leo, I'm a huge fan.
非常感谢 我有什么能为你做的吗 Thanks a lot, man, what can I do ya for?
你看到公告牌上 Have you seen what's been going on
发生的事情了吗 up on the billboard?
没有 我还没有看到 No, as a matter of fact, I haven't.
每次我查看他们的动态时 Every time I've checked their feed is down,
他们的排名都是在下降的 and I just don't have enough time on my hands
我不能一直盯着我的手机 to stay glued to my phone just in case
不能一直为他们打榜 we've had enough sunlight to power their feed.
他们就像轮子里的仓鼠 Or is it a hamster in a wheel that they use over there,
是这样的吗 is that how they do it?
为什么这么说 伙计 Why do you got to be like that, man?
怎么说 Like what?
是你想谈谈我们的竞争对手 You're the one that wants me to talk about our competition.
我相信你的努力 我相信你 I believe in what you're trying to do, man, I do.
谢谢你 Thank you.
我很感激这一点 I appreciate that.
这并不容易 这是肯定的 It hasn't been easy, that's for sure.
这件事没有捷径 Look, there's no easy way to do this.
你得走了 I got to let you go.
我们不能再留你了 We just can't keep you on the payroll anymore.
你懂吗 Do you understand?
我只有这个电台了伙计 The station's all I got, man.
我该怎么做 I mean, what am I gonna do?
你想去哪儿 I'll give you a recommendation
我都给你推荐 行吗 wherever you wanna go, all right?
没有权限 Your card was declined.
认真的吗 Seriously?
我就想用一下自动取款机 行吗 I'll just use the ATM, okay?
说说话 Talk to me!
上帝啊 我的天 我的天 Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.
凯西 Casey!
天呐 凯西 Oh, oh, god, Casey!

该死 Boo, blurgh!
我们在罗斯罗克想弄清楚 We're here at Rothrock trying to figure out
看板人艾伦·斯奈德怎么了 what happened to billboard sitter Ellen Snyder.
斯奈德小姐昏倒在公告牌上时 A Rothrock customer came to Miss Snyder's aid
一位罗斯罗克的客户前来帮忙 when she passed out on the billboard,
这是剩下的参赛者说的 according to the remaining contestants.
我们一直无法 We have been unable to...
现在只剩下两位选手了 And now you have two contestants left.
艾伦是第二个放弃比赛的选手 Well, Ellen was the next contestant to come down,
由于身体缘故她不得不离开 she had to leave because of, for medical reasons.
但是我真的为她感到骄傲 But I'm really proud of her for staying up there
因为她坚持了那么久 as long as she did, you know?
她证明了残疾人的能力 She's a real testament to what the disabled are capable of.
什么意思 Meaning?
只是人们可能不会想到 Just that people probably wouldn't have thought
她能坚持这么久 she would have lasted as long as she did.
这听起来是不是有点歧视 Doesn't that sound a little discriminatory?
你这么做只是为了收视率吗 Did you do all this just for ratings?
不是 这是比赛 所以肯定 No, well, it's a contest, so it's definitely...
所以这些都是假的 只是为了赚钱吗 So all of this was a charade, just trying to make a buck?
绝对不是 No, absolutely not.
我想为社会提供一些东西 I wanted to provide something for the community,
给人成功的机会 you know, and give somebody the opportunity to get ahead,
我认为这在当下是非常重要的 which I think is pretty important right now.
拯救利哈伊山谷 And as well as save the last independent
最后的独立电台 radio station in Lehigh Valley.
这是关于社会的 Okay, so this is about community,
而不是玩弄人们 not about playing with people's lives.
她人呢 How is she?
艾伦呢 How's Ellen?
您介意站在 Would you mind standing on that end
公告牌的那一边吗 of the billboard, please?
为了最佳的拍摄角度 Make for a better shot.
是的 我介意 Yeah, I mind.
有艾伦的消息吗 Any word on Ellen?
我们现在在WTYT 960公告牌的下面 We're here at the foot of the WTYT 960 billboard.
今天下午发生了悲剧 Tragedy struck this afternoon.
其中一位参赛者 艾伦·斯奈德 One of the contestants, Ellen Snyder,
在严重脱水后 was rushed to the hospital after
被紧急送往医院 suffering from severe dehydration.
当地政府曾试图取消这个活动 The local authorities tried to shut it down
因为电台没有得到适当的分区批准 after the station didn't get appropriate zoning approval,
但是电台的所有者 凯西·林德韦勒说 but the station owner, Casey Lindeweiler,
找到了规则的漏洞 found a loophole around the law.
现在我们了解到 电台没有为参与者 Now we've learned that the station isn't providing
提供食物 水或者医疗保健 food, water, or health care for their participants,
而是以社区为目标 帮助他们完成比赛 preying on the community to help them finish this contest
这样电台就可以获利 just so the station can profit.
更糟糕的是 是一位罗斯罗克的客户 To make matters worse, it was a Rothrock customer
帮助的斯奈德小姐 who came to the aid of Miss Snyder.
剩下的两名选手不想冒险 The two remaining contestants on the board
因为救了她 didn't want to risk getting disqualified
而被取消比赛资格 for saving her life.
这个比赛是人类史上一个可怕的奇观 This billboard sitting contest is an awful spectacle
让人们互相竞争 of the human condition, pitting people against one another.
你为这些参赛者 Have you supplied any medical care
提供医疗服务了吗 to these contestants?
他们在那里待得太久了 They've been up there an awfully long time.
虽然才四个月 但我们 It's only been four months, but we're certainly
肯定会关心他们的健康 looking out for their wellbeing, their health.
真的是这样吗 Really?
难道艾伦·斯奈德不是因为脱水才淘汰的吗 Didn't Ellen Snyder come down because of dehydration?
最初我们给他们提供 Well, originally we were providing them with
水和食物 但实际上 water and food, it was actually the city
这么做根本不被允许 that stopped allowing us from doing that.
为什么 Hm, and why is that?
这些都是一些愚蠢的分区法规 Well, they, it was some silly zoning code law.
嘿 Hey!
怎么了 What?
结果出来了 The book is out.
嗯哼 Yeah?
我们是第二名 We're number two.
太棒了 Yes!
我们做到了 我们做到了 We did it, we did it!
你看到那本书了吗 Did you see the book?
还没有 No, not yet.
你在开玩笑吧 You got to be kidding me.
你自己看 See for yourself.
WXEN依旧是第一名 WXEN is still number one.
你预料到了吗 Did you see this coming?
在上个月的最后一次趋势之后 After the last trends I pulled about a month ago?
不 上升了一位 倒数第二了 No, they'd moved up one spot, to second last.
只是个反常现象 It's just an anomaly.
希望如此 Let's hope so.
是AM电台 They're an AM station.
该死 No shit.
公司会杀了我的 Corporate's gonna kill me.
我在电台工作了这么多年 从来没见过 In all my years in radio, I've never seen
哪个台发展得这么快 a station move up this fast.
如果我们不做点什么的话 他们会超过WXEN的 If we don't do something, they'll overtake WXEN.
他在干什么 What the hell is he doing?
花钱买关注吗 Paying people to tune in?
现在我们知道有观众了 Now that we know we have an audience,
我们应该让乔希和谢尔比开播 we should get Josh and Shelby on air
说说他们有多喜欢这个比赛 saying how much they love the contest.
嘿 我们给乔希和谢尔比 Hey, what if we got Josh and Shelby
买两台平板怎么样 some tablets, you know?
好主意 那要怎么收费 Great idea, but how are they gonna charge them?
我们可以晚上带走 We could pick them up at night, you know,
充电 早上再放回去 charge them, drop them back off in the morning.
你可真是天才 You're a genius!
利用整个社交媒体 Now use that whole social media.
谁能想到林德韦勒的孩子 Who would've thought that Lindeweiler's kid
会经营一家电台呢 could run a radio station?
没有人 Nobody.
也许我们应该试着把那孩子挖过来 Maybe we should try and get the kid, though, huh?
不会持续太久的 It won't last that much longer.
希望不会吧 Let's hope not.
也许我们可以逼他一下 But maybe we can push him a little.
尽管如此 我们必须坚持下去 Wait, though, we got to just keep this up now.
不只是成功 We didn't just like, succeed,
我们拿到奖品 we got to actually like, get the prize
就可以留在电台 so that we can stay at the station,

真的 那都是废话 Really, come on, that's bullshit.
我不在乎你怎么想 我只要我想要的 Hey, I don't care what you think, I want mine.
不 我只是希望你可以 No, look, I was just thinking you could,
和你的家人保持联系 仅此而已 you know, keep in touch with your family, that's all.
随你怎么处置 谢尔比 Do whatever you want with 'em, Shelby.
这些只是礼物 好了吗 I mean, they're just presents, okay?
我一直在考虑你的事 I been thinking about your business.
是吗 Yeah?
你靠卖空气赚钱 是吗 You make money selling air, don't you?
我是说 广播时间 差不多就是这样 Well, yeah, I mean, airtime, but something like that.
听起来像个骗局 It sounds like a racket.
我们得让人们关注我们 We got to have people tune in for us to be,
你知道的 我们的收视率就是我们的一切 you know, successful, so we've been in the ratings basement
这不像我们... 算了 forever, it's not like we're, come on.

我是这个镇上唯一的独立电台的老板 I own the only independent station left in this town,
我宁可把它毁掉 and I would rather run it into the ground
也不让你买下我父亲的电台 than let you buy my father's station.
虽然我父亲不像你那样是个好商人 And although my father wasn't as good a businessman

你说收视率在下降 You said you was in the ratings basement.
给我看看账单 证明一下 You show me some bank statements that shows me
你有钱给我们 that you got the money to pay us.
如果你有钱 我就会留下来 And if youz got money, I'll stay,

我不想和那些说我们坏话的人有任何关系 I don't want anything to do with them nasty people
他们甚至不认识我们 saying nasty things about us, they don't even know us.
他们说什么了 What are they saying?
你根本都不想知道 You don't even wanna know.
网上都有 Come on, it's the internet.
她们心有仇恨 别担心 They got trolls and haters, don't worry about it.
那些东西我都不在乎 I didn't sign up for any of that stuff.
如果我的艾米看到了呢 What if my Emmy sees that?
你生活在公告牌上 You're living on a billboard.
给我证据 Show me the proof!
好的 好的 I will, I will.
你觉得自己很强大 You feel powerful,
能控制别人的命运吗 controlling the destiny of others?
不 不是的 No, not at all.
我是说 参赛者可以随时退出比赛 I mean, the contestants are free to quit at any time.
真的吗 But are they?
意思是 一个是饥饿的艺术家 I mean, one's a starving artist
另一个参赛者连自己的孩子都养不起 and the other can't even provide for his own children.
乔希只有一个孩子 Josh only has one child,
我很确定他过得很好 and I'm pretty sure he's doing okay.
我们听说他妻子怀孕了 We've heard that his wife's pregnant.
好吧 Well, I'll be.
凯西先生 你差不多是个百万富翁了 Mr. Casey, you're almost a millionaire.
其实是我爸爸给我留下的 Well, my father took care of me.
我也要给我的小艾米留下这些 And I'm gonna do the same for my Emmy.
WTYT960 是利哈伊山谷中 WTYT 960, the fastest-growing station
发展最快的电台 in the Lehigh Valley.
你好 Hello.
嗨 Hey.
怎么了 What's up?
我们名次下降了 We're down.
这怎么可能呢 How is that even possible?
第几名 Where are we at?
第五 We're fifth.
我们一直在做这些事 We've been doing all this cool stuff,
让人们打爵士乐的标签 getting people to hashtag and all that jazz.
住在公告牌上很无聊 Living on a billboard is boring.
就像看着草生长 It's like watching grass grow.
我该怎么办 What do I do?
我注意到每次有疯狂的事情 Well, I noticed that every time something crazy
或者令人激动的事情发生时 or something exciting, something wild happens,
听众人数似乎会激增 that listenership seems to spike.
经过昨晚一场激烈的辩论 The heavily contested mayoral race in Allentown
阿伦敦的市长竞选正在升温 is heating up after a knockdown debate last night.
竞争者伊莱恩·迪·贝拉似乎把 Contender Elaine Di Bella seems to have
琼森市长从市政厅的高位上推了下来 knocked Mayor Jonson off his perch at city hall,
在此之前 人们就WTYT的比赛 after a number of exchanges regarding
和市长对比赛的不当处理 WTYT's billboard sitting contest
进行了多次交流 and the mayor's ill handling of the contest.
为什么比赛还能继续 Why is the contest allowed to continue?
为什么一开始就允许这样做呢 Why was it even allowed to start in the first place?
听起来是不是像WTYT花了钱 Sounds like the mayor is deep into WTYT's pockets.
回来 你们这些胆小鬼 Come back here, you cowards!
让我告诉你们 我们对有些人将我们的参赛者 Let me tell you folks, we are shocked and outraged
置于危险境地 that some people would put the lives of
感到震惊和愤怒 our contestants in jeopardy,
其他人会毁了我们的公告牌 while others would deface our billboard.
@WTYT96 你们什么时候才能停止这个比赛
大家听说了居住公告牌比赛吗 这个比赛究竟有何意义
根据最近的消息 居住在上面的人们已经好几天没有食物供应了
凯西 最近怎么样 Hello, Casey, how are you?
很高兴见到你 It's nice to meet you.
这个活动成为了人类奇观 They've become a human spectacle,
我认为更适合在利哈伊山谷动物园 而不是广播比赛 more fitted for the Lehigh Valley Zoo than a radio contest.
至少动物园会给他们吃的 At least the zoo would feed them.
公告牌比赛的主持人凯西•林德 The host of the billboard contest, Casey Linde-whatever,
他应该为自己从那些 should be ashamed of himself for profiting
缺乏做出正确决定的人身上获利 off people who lack the brainpower
而感到羞耻 to make a decent decision.
我想知道他不给参赛者吃的 I wonder how much money he's made
省下了多少钱 not providing for his contestants.
这是某种与城市有关的阴谋 Is this some sort of scheme with the city
好让他获利吗 so he can profit?
有点可疑 It smells like something fishy going on.
合谋新事物 Is collusion the new thing?
我很想听听我们听众的想法 I would love to hear the thoughts of our listeners.
自由频道对我们进行消极报道 The Free Channel has gone negative,
试图让公众反对我们 trying to get the public to turn against us.
所以他们是在针对我们吗 So now they're at us?
没错 Yeah.
他们是怎么得到消息的 How are they getting their information?
乔希和谢尔比的社账号 Josh and Shelby's social media.
好吧 我们再来看看 All right, let's go back at them.
我们再看看 Let's go back at them?
他们的听众是我们的20倍 They have 20 times more listenership than we do.
一共有11个电台 They have 11 stations to our one.
好吧 我们把平板从 Well, let's get these tablets out of
这些愚蠢的参赛者手里拿回来好吗 these stupid contestants' hands, all right?
我们得控制舆论 We need to control the information.
认真的吗 Seriously?
你知道你在说什么吗 Do you hear yourself, are you listening to yourself?
当然 Yes, I'm listening to myself.
弄点钱 Find some money.
我在做我的工作 你在做什么 I'm doing my job, what are you doing?
在我后悔之前 You know, I'm gonna step away from you
我要离你远远的 before I say something I'm gonna regret.
你已经做到了 干得漂亮 You already did, good job.
你很擅长这个 You're great at that.
你和他们一样刻薄 凯西 You're turning into one of them, Casey!
抱歉 I'm sorry, all right?
这份工作是我的生命 This job is my life.
是薪水 It's a paycheck.
我还有一件事能做 I have one more thing I can do.
你可以做什么 What do ya got?
我在MSN有朋友 I have some friends at MSN.
给他们打电话 Call 'em up.
公告牌比赛将人们的目光 A billboard sitting contest has cast a spotlight
投向了这个曾经贫穷 萧条的小镇 on what used to be a poor, depressed town
人们在这里寻找被一首歌压垮的自我 in search of an identity that was crushed by a song.
它已成为一个两个城的故事 It has become a tale of two cities,
富人和穷人 the haves and the have-nots.
独立电台对抗公司电台 Independent radio against corporate radio.

75天过去了 75 days later.
我相信你已经从这次比赛中 I'm sure that you've reaped considerable benefits
获得了可观的利益和利润 and profits from this contest.
不 绝对不是 No, absolutely not, that couldn't be
这与事实相去甚远 farther from the truth.
当我继承这个电台的时候 You know, when I inherited this station,
它已经债台高筑了 所以我们还在勉强度日 it was drowning in debt, so we're still just scraping by.
而这一切只是为了赢得一个移动的家吗 And all of this just to win a mobile home?
还有9.6万美元 Yeah, and $96,000.
广告之后 我们将接受 After this commercial break, we'll take questions
观众的提问和评论 and comments from our audience.

你知道公告牌上的人在干什么吗 Any idea how those people up on that billboard are doing?
我没怎么注意 I didn't give it much thought.
你问这个干什么 Why do you ask?
风向开始转向 The winds are beginning to turn against
利哈伊山谷无线电台WTYT 960 Lehigh Valley radio station WTYT 960.
现在冬天来了 电台似乎 Now that winter is upon us, it doesn't seem like
并没有未参加公告牌比赛的选手 the station has a plan for the contestants' welfare
制定福利计划 in the billboard sitting contest.
我们询问了电视台老板凯西·林德韦勒的意图 We asked station owner Casey Lindeweiler of his intentions.
林德韦勒先生 请问您对今年 Mr. Lindeweiler, what are your plans
冬天的比赛有什么计划吗 for the billboard contest this winter?
我们会一如既往的 Just that we continue to be as successful
取得成功 as we've been so far.
在零下的天气里 And what will you provide the contestants
你会给参赛者提供什么 in sub-freezing weather?
不幸的是政府允许我们这么做才可以 Well, unfortunately only what the city will allow us,
否则我们无能为力 谢谢你能来 which is nothing, so thanks for coming by.
林德韦勒先生 Mr. Lindeweiler.
不幸的是政府允许我们这么做才可以 Unfortunately, only what the city will allow us,
否则我们无能为力 which is nothing.
谢谢你能来 Thanks for coming by.
你到底在想什么 What in the hell were you thinking?
他们完全曲解了我的话 They completely butchered what I was saying.
这让我们看起来非常非常糟糕 That made us look really, really bad.
就好像你一点都不在乎他们 Like you don't care about them.
你知道并不是这样的 You know that's not true.
市长不做事 The lame duck mayor will do nothing.
市议会什么也不会做 City council will do nothing.
社区还能做些什么 What more can the community do
来结束这场比赛呢 to try and end the billboard sitting contest?
退出 退出比赛 Quit, quit the billboard sit!
停止疯狂 毫无人性 Stop the insanity, where's the humanity!
退出比赛 Quit, quit the billboard sit!
抗议者聚集在 Protestors are picketing at the foot
广告牌下和WTYT 960电台外 of the billboard and outside the WTYT 960 radio station,
抗议电台如此对待 protesting the station's treatment
他们的广告位 of their billboard sitters.
我告诉过你 媒体是煽动者 I told you, the press are provocateurs.
说人话 English, please.
骗子 Liars.
失控了 This is totally out of control.
我们必须像往常一样继续下去 We just have to go on like it's business as usual.
做我们一直在做的事 运转起来 Do what we've always done, just ride it and spin it.
真相总会水落石出的 The truth will work its way out.
是这样没错 但是我们能控制多少损失呢 Yeah, but how much damage control can we do?
赞助商会马上撤下他们的广告 The sponsors are gonna start pulling their ads immediately.
他们已经这样做了 Already started.
什么时候结束 When will it end?
人们对WTYT的公告牌比赛 People are becoming outraged that
被允许继续下去感到愤怒 the WTYT billboard contest has been allowed to continue.
很明显那些人 Well, obviously those people up there
没有任何常识 don't have any common sense.
他们决心已定 不是吗 They are determined, aren't they?
电台应该会给他们暖气什么的 The station oughta give them a heater or something.
这些参赛者是穷困潦倒 Are these contestants that destitute
需要在隆冬里的 that they need to live on a billboard
公告牌上生活 还是他们 in the middle of winter, or are they just
像主持比赛的凯西·林德韦勒那样 starved for attention like the man
渴望得到关注 hosting the contest, Casey Lindeweiler?
还能怎样 How low can he go?
他是走投无路 有上帝情结 Is he desperate, does he have a god complex,
还是一个渴望引起注意的商人 or is he an attention-starved businessman
为了个人利益而剥削他人 exploiting others for his personal gain?
你真可耻 林德韦勒先生 真可耻 Shame on you, Mr. Lindeweiler, shame on you.
那么 你对关闭这个公告牌比赛 So how do you feel about shutting down
有什么看法 this billboard sitting contest?
我无能为力 There's nothing I can do.
那是私有财产 They're on private property,
财产所有者拥有任何权利 and property owners have rights.
下届政府将不得不按照他们认为合适的方式行事 The next administration will have to do as they see fit.
说真的 伙计们 Seriously, guys,
是社区实施的绝食抗议吗 a community-implemented hunger strike?
我们必须克服这些困难 We need to rise above this, people.
该死的节日 不能让比赛 It's the freakin' holidays, don't let WTYT
搞垮社区 bring the community down.
放松点 塔玛拉 离窗台远点 Take it easy, Tamara, just step away from the ledge,
离远点 just step away.
人们如此残忍 People can be so cruel.
他们是自愿的 They're up there under their own volition.
WTYT 960电台外的公告牌 The billboard outside the WTYT 960 radio station,
抗议电台如此对待 protesting the station's treatment
他们的广告位 of their billboard sitters.
尽管气温极低 Station owner Casey Lindeweiler isn't
但电视台老板凯西·林德韦勒 providing his contestants any relief,
并没有给参赛选手提供任何帮助 despite the freezing temperatures.
人们对比赛被允许继续下去 People are becoming outraged that the contest
感到愤怒 has been allowed to continue.
他们简直是在杀人
马上终止比赛 像我刚刚那样在网上发声 太疯狂了
你是凯西·林德韦勒吗 You're Casey Lindeweiler.
对 是我 Yep, yep, that's me.
你怎么能这样对那些人 How could you do that to those people?
你怎么这样 How can you even live with yourself?
参赛者随时都可以离开 The contestants are free to leave at any moment, okay,
我没有强迫他们留在那里 I'm not forcing them to stay there.
你就是个缺德鬼 You're an asshole.
你相信你看到的一切 不是吗 Yeah, and you believe everything that you see, don't you?

今天我们的嘉宾是凯西·林德韦勒 We've been joined today by Casey Lindeweiler.
他是WTYT公告牌比赛的创始人 He's the creator of the WTYT billboard sitting contest.
我们现场的观众 We've got a live studio audience here,
他们有些问题要问 and they've got some questions.
先生 Sir?
你利用这些人赚了多少钱 How much money did you make exploiting these people?
你有什么要说的吗 凯西 What do you have to say about that, Casey?
恕我直言 先生 I mean, with all due respect, sir,
我没有问你的收入 为什么我要告诉你我的呢 I don't ask you your income, why should I tell you mine?
你说的没错 但是我们 Yeah, but we've got your ad rates
有你的广告费率 你说这场比赛 right here, and you've said this contest
已经进行了四个月了 has been going on for, what, four months now?
是的 Yeah.
好的 让我们用你每周最低的广告率 Okay, so let's take your lowest ad rate per week,
乘以16 你得到了 一百万美元 multiply it by 16, and you've got, what, a million dollars?
没有的事 That's not true.
那联邦通信委员会呢 你担心 What about the FCC, are you worried about
他们会因为你的广告空间收取双倍费用 the fines they may bring down on you for double-dipping,
而对你处以罚款吗 you know, charging double for your ad space?
你在说什么 那根本就不是真的 What are you talking about, that's not true at all.
这是我们的线人告诉我们的 That's what our sources have told us.
你是想让我看起来像坏人吗 Why are you trying to make me look like I'm the bad guy?
你知道为什么吗 因为好人 You know why, because a good guy wouldn't
不会这样利用别人 be taking advantage of people like this.
世界各地都有提高收视率的比赛 You know, all around the world there are contests
这是很常见的做法 that are driving up ratings, it's a pretty common practice.
但没有这样的 Nothing like this.
也许是因为它太有独创性了 Well, maybe that's because it's so original.
你不知道我为了拯救这个电台 You have no idea what I had to risk
冒了多大风险 to try to save this station.
我希望你问我这样的问题 You know, I wish you were asking me questions like that.
事实上 我们仍然深陷债务之中 I mean, we're still drowning in debt.
没错 像大多数美国人一样 Yeah, like most Americans, but they're not
但是他们没有利用人民来偿还他们的债务 taking advantage of people to pay off their debts.
你不觉得是时候结束这场比赛了吗 Don't you think it's time to end this contest?
别再撒谎了 Quit pretending to be something that you're not.
你应该为自己感到羞耻 You should be ashamed of yourself.
结束比赛 End this contest.
你应该给他们钱 给他们家 You should give them both the money, and a home.
结束比赛 结束比赛 结束比赛 End this contest, end the contest, end the contest!
