Christmas day, Brooke is on the phone with her mom

Mom: Merry Christmas, sweetie. How's your brother enjoying Taiwan?

Brooke: Ryan says he wants to stay. I think he's in love with some girl who designs fruit platters...

Mom: No! Christmas without him is bad enough. So, honey, do you have cold feet yet?

Brooke: Yeah, especially since Jack didn't take care of the planereservations.

Mom: You're not coming?

Brooke: Not until the 31st. So can you change the church reservations?

Mom: I'm afraid not. The church is booked until the year 2001.

圣诞节当天，与妈妈通电话

妈　妈：亲爱的，圣诞节快乐!你弟弟喜不喜欢台湾啊?

布鲁克：雷恩说他想要留下来。我想他是跟一个设计水果拼盘的女孩坠入情网了……

妈　妈：不!没有他的圣诞节已经够糟了。对了，亲爱的，你开始惶恐了没?

布鲁克：开始了，尤其是因为杰克没把预定机票的事办好。

妈　妈：你们不过来了?

布鲁克：要到三十一号才能过去。你可以跟教堂另外约时间吗?

妈　妈：恐怕不行。教堂到二○○一年之前都已经预约额满了。
