Chapter 2 Fall in Love (One day, Oliver and Jennifer are studying in the dorm.) O: Cavilleri. I’ve got nothing abainst music, but must you play it while we strdy? J: I’m studying in the music, Preppie. It’s called analysis of form. O: Yeah. J: You know you’;re going to flunk out if you just sit there watching me studying. O: I’m not watching you studying, I’m studying. J: Bullshit. You’re looking at my legs. O: Listen Cavilleri. You’re not that great-looking. J: I know, but can I help it if you think so? O: Let’s change the subject, huh. J: I wasn’t aware that there was a subject. O: You’re under the mistaken impression that I wanted to make love to you. J: Was I? O: But I’m not interested. Definitely not interested. J: Good, at least we’ve got one thing in common. O: Look, Cavilleri. I know your game and I’m tired of playing it. You’re the supreme Radcliffe smartass. The best, you put down anything in pants. But verbal volleyball is not my idea of a relationship. If that’s what you think it’s all about. Why don’t you just go back to your music world and good luck. Say, I think you’re scared. You put up a big glass wall to keep from getting hurt, and also keeps you from getting touched. It’s a risk, isn’t it, Jenny? At least I had the guts to admit what I felt. Someday you are going to have to come up with the courage to admit you care. J: I care (Jennifer is lying on Oliver’s laps. They are both readying.) O: I’m studying. I’m really studying. J: Shhh. I’m studying. O: Sorry. J: Oliver? I love you! (Oliver attends Jennifer’s piano test, and is very proud of her. After the test, they are on the road.) O: I can’t believe how great you were. J: Yeah, that tells me how much you know about music. O: I know enough. J: Wise up, would you please, Barret. I was not great, I was not even all ivy. I was just OK, OK? O: OK. What I mean is that you should always keep at it. J: Who said I’m not going to keep at it, for God’s sake. I’m going to study with Nadia Boulange, alright? O: Who? J: Next year, I have a scholarship in Paris. O: Paris？ J：Yeah. I’ve never been to Europe. I can hardly wait. O: How long have you known about this? J: Come on. Oli, don’t be stupid, would you please? It’s inevitable. O: What is? J: That we’re going to graduate and then go our separate ways. You’ll go on to Law school. O: What are you talking about? J: You’re a preppie millionaire. And I’m a social zero. O: What does that have to do with going our separate ways. We’re together, now, aren’t we? We ‘re happy. J: Look. Harvard’s like a big Santa Claus bag staffed full of all kinds of crazy toys. When the holiday is over, they shake you out and you’re got to go back where you belong. O: This has been a little bit more than a holiday, Jenny. You’re going back to Grandstone Rhode Island and bake cookies? J: Pastries! And don’t make fun of my father. O: Then don’t leave me, Jenny. Please. J: Yeah. But what about my scholarship and what about Paris I have never seen in my whole God damn life? O: What about our marriage? J: Who has said anything about marriage? O: I’m saying it now. J: You want to marry me? O: Yeah. J: Why? O: Because. J: That’s a good reason.  |
(一天， 奥利弗和詹妮弗在宿舍里学习。) 奥：卡维列里，我不反对音乐，可是你非要在我们学习的时候演奏吗？ 詹：预科生，我主修音乐，所谓的格式分析。 奥：是的。 詹：要知道如果你只坐在那看我学习的话，就会因为考试不及格被勒令退学的。 奥：我没有在看你学习，我自己在学习。 詹：废话，你在看我的腿。 奥：听着，卡维列里，你可没那么好看。 詹：我知道。但是如果你就这么认为的话我也没办法。 奥：嗯，我们换个话题吧。 詹：我并没觉得刚才那是个话题。 奥：你认为我想和你做爱，那你就大错特错了 詹：是吗？ 奥：但是我并不感兴趣，一点都不感兴趣。 詹：很好，至少我们还有一个共同点。 奥： 注意，卡维列里，我知道你的把戏。我早就玩腻了。你是雷德克利夫最自以为是的人。最好笑的是你拒绝一切。然而口头却连珠炮，这可不是我的理想关系。如果你真的那么想就算了你为什么不多躲回你的音乐世界去碰运气。比方说，我想你很害怕，你戴上眼镜竖起一道墙使自己免遭伤害，也使自己不与别人接触，这是一种冒险，不是吗，詹妮？至少我有胆量承认自己的感受。总有一天，你会有勇气承认你很在意。 詹：我在意。 （詹妮弗躺在奥利弗的腿上。他们在看书。） 奥：我在学习，我真的在学习。 詹：嘘，我在学习。 奥：对不起。 詹：奥利弗，我爱你！ （奥利弗参加了詹妮佛的钢琴测试，非常的以她为豪。测试结束后，他们走在路上） 奥：我真不敢相信你有这么了不起。 詹：是啊，这说明你对音乐的了解有多少了。 奥：我懂得够多的了。 詹：巴雷特，请你知道，我不是了不起，我甚至一点也不大学派。我仅仅是过得去，知道吗？ 奥：好吧，我的意思是你应该永远坚持下去。 詹：天啊，谁说我不准备坚持下去？我准备师从娜迪娅·布兰杰，怎么样？ 奥：谁？ 詹：明年，我得到去巴黎的奖学金。
奥：巴黎？ 詹：是啊，我从没去过欧洲。我都等不及了。 奥：你知道这件事有多久了？ 詹：好了，奥利，别犯傻了，好吗？这无法避免。 奥：什么？ 詹：我们都即将毕业，然后各奔东西，你要进法律学院。 奥：你在说什么？ 詹：你是个后部的百万富翁，而我的社会地位等于零。 奥：这与我们各奔东西有什么关系？现在我们在一起，不是吗？我们很幸福。 詹：瞧，哈佛就像个圣诞老人的大袋子，里面装满了各种美妙的玩具。节日以结束，他们会把你抖出来，你不得不回到属于你的地方。 奥：詹妮，这不仅仅是节日，你打算返回罗德岛的戈兰斯通去做面包吗？ 詹：是糕点！别拿我父亲开玩笑。 奥：那么，詹妮，别离开我，行不行？ 詹：好吧，但我的奖学金怎么办？我这他妈的一辈子从未去过的巴黎又怎么办？ 奥：我们的婚姻怎么办？ 詹：谁说过结婚的事？ 奥：我现在在说。 詹：你准备娶我？ 奥：是的。 詹：为什么？ 奥：就因为这个。 詹：这是个好理由。
