Kathy: Thanks for the tea, Morley.
   Morley: It figures that lobster would make me sick.
   Kathy: No excuses. You lost, fair and square.
   Morley: Well, it's worth it. I feel like I'm in old China at this teahouse.
   Kathy: This used to be a gold mining town. That's how the people here had enough money to pay for the stone architecture.
   Morley: By the way, it's great that you got over your fear of heights.
   Kathy: I owe it all to Dan. He gave me the courage to try.

   卡西:莫理,谢谢你请的茶。
   莫理:我就知道那只龙虾会让我不舒服。
   卡西:别找理由。你输了,很公平。
   莫理:嗯,输的很值得。在这间茶坊里我好像活在中国古代。
   卡西:这里曾是金矿重镇。所以这里的人才有足够的钱建造石材建筑。
   莫理:顺便一提,你能克服惧高症实在是太好了。
   卡西:多亏阿丹。是他给了我尝试的勇气。
