精彩对白

Adam: Hey, Dad.

Dad: Hey, kiddo. I had a bad trip on The Drank.

Adam: Yeah, I heard. If anybody asks, this is a Seeing Eye dog.

Dad: Where's?

Adam: She went home.

Dad: Right. I really don't like the Little Wayne. Can't understand what he's saying. You know who I wish was here right now? Your mom.

Adam: Yeah. Well, you left her, so... Why?

Dad: When you're married and you do blow...try to stay away from women who want to fuck you. Even ugly women. Blow is blind, Adam. Blow is blind.

Adam: You're an asshole.

Dad: But you're not. You got a good heart, Adam. Try to keep it. Where's that girl, Emma? You guys still together?

Adam: We were never together.

Dad: Oh, that's right. Friends... Sex friends... I'm old. I don't know what you call it. You liked her.

Adam: She drives me crazy.

Dad: I'm 58 years old. I've been married three times.

Adam: Twice.

Dad: OK. I've got six pictures of my cock on my phone, and two of someone else's, and I'm still pretty high on the cough syrup, so you can take this with a grain of salt, but...we don't pick who we fall in love with. And it never happens like it should. Yes. I may have to kill this dog. I just haven't decided how.

Adam: Get some sleep, Dad. I'll call you in the morning.

Dad: He'll call in the morning. Isn't that something? Am I boring you? Oh, good.

Emma: Adam!

Adam: Hey. You can't call me and tell me that you miss me. I don't want to have that conversation on the phone. So you can't text me and you can't e-mail me, and you can't... write on my wall. Like, if you really miss me, you need to grow up and get in your car and come and see me.

Emma: I'm here.

Adam: How did... How did you know that?

Emma: Shira texted me about your dad, so I came here. How is your dad?

Adam: He's OK.

Emma: Good. I know I can't just call you. 

Adam: No. You can't.

Emma: I know. I hurt you. I'm sorry. I don't know why I wasted so much time pretending I didn't care. I guess I just didn't want to feel like this. It hurts. But I love you. I'm totally and completely in love with you, and I don't care if you think it's too late, I'm telling you anyway. Will you please say something?

Adam: Wait. You should know...if you come any closer, I'm not letting you go.

Emma: I love you.

Adam: That's good.[page]

导盲犬 Seeing Eye dog

导盲犬是经过严格训练的犬，是工作犬的一种。经过训练后的导盲犬可帮助盲人去学校、商店、洗衣店、街心花园等。它们习惯于颈圈、导盲牵引带和其他配件的约束，懂得很多口令，可以带领盲人安全地走路，当遇到障碍和需要拐弯时，会引导主人停下以免发生危险。导盲犬具有自然平和的心态，会适时站立、拒食、帮助盲人乘车、传递物品，对路人的干扰不予理睬，同时也不会对他们进行攻击。

导盲犬的历史可以追溯到19世纪初。1819年一个叫海尔·约翰的人在维也纳创办了世界上第一个导盲犬训练机构。后来海尔还出版了一本小册子详细描述了中心的工作，但在当时这个项目并没有被世人广泛知晓。几乎100年之后人们才开始重视导盲犬，原因是在第一次世界大战后，很多德国士兵失去了视力，医生赭哈德得到灵感，在德国开办了世界上第一个导盲犬训练学校。 　

10年以后，导盲犬及其训练因一个叫多罗西的美国女子的介绍而被世界其他国家所知，多罗西当时在瑞士工作，是著名的狗训练师，她为警察局训练警犬并为红十字会训练救援犬。多罗西听到有关德国训练导盲犬的消息后参观了该学校，并于1927年著文在纽约的报纸上介绍了该项目。这篇文章吸引了一个叫莫里斯的年轻人的注意，他是一个盲人。他随后写信给多罗西，询问她是否能够为自己训练一只导盲犬。多罗西接受了挑战但要求莫里斯与自己一起参加整个训练过程。 　　

一年后，莫里斯与他的导盲犬一起回到了美国。很快，莫里斯在多罗西的积极倡导下在美国开办了第一所导盲犬训练学校。1931年，多罗西在英国正式开办了导盲犬训练学校。此后几年，导盲犬被介绍到了澳大利亚及世界其他地方。 　　

目前，在世界上很多国家都有导盲犬协会，这些机构大多数是民间的非营利慈善机构，他们培育训练导盲犬并免费提供给有视力障碍人士，这些机构的经费大多源于慈善捐款。“世界导盲犬联盟”是一个国际性组织，为来自26个国家的60多所成员导盲犬训练学校提供技术指导和推广鼓励使用导盲犬为视力障碍人士提供服务的概念。
