Dave: Look, maybe I shouldn't tell you this, but I'v going over to WebTracker, too.
戴夫: 你听我说,或许我不该跟你说这事,不过我也要投靠“网路搜寻家”。
Zina: 1) No way! That's great! Then we'll still be together!
吉娜: 不可能!太棒了!那我们还能在一起!
Dave: Actually, I'm already working for WebTracker. Vince never wanted to give me what I was worth, so I figured, what the heck.
戴夫: 其实我已经在替“网路搜寻家”工作。文斯不肯给我合理待遇,我想说豁出去算了。

语言详解
A: That additional piece of luggage will cost extra.
额外的那件行李会加收费用。
B: I figured it would.
我想也是。
【make the right move 下对决定】
move 当名词用是“举动,动作”的意思,make the right move 就是指“下对决定”。
A: You're made the right move by coming here to buy your car.
你到我们这里来买车,真是明智的决定。
B: I sure hope so.
我很希望是这样。
【figure 的用法】
figure 这个字是指“料想,估算”,而what the heck 这个短语是指 “管他的,搞什么”的意思,用做表达感叹的语气,表示觉得意外或是不在乎。好比你看到很扯的事,你就可以说What the heck? 以表达“搞什么鬼?”的意思。而So I figured, what the heck 这句话犹如中文里的“我就想说,豁出去算了”,或是“我就想,管他的”。使用的时机是当自己决定孤注一掷,担起万一失败的风险,先做了再说。
A: Why didn't you pay the tickets?
你怎么都没缴罚单?
B: The police never caught me, so I figured, what the heck.
警察都没逮到过我,我就想,管他去死。
1) No way! “不可能!”,“门都没有!”用以表示惊讶或是绝无可能性。
2) secret agent 情报员,特务
