Ed: Hey Rocky! You've been sitting around all night. Get out and dance with someone like that woman over there.
Rocky: No way! She looks like the intellectual type.
Ed: Oh come on man! What kind of woman do you like?
Rocky: I want a woman who's affectionate and fulfills my every need, and that woman over there is just not the right type.
Ed: Hey. Where have you been? Times are changing, and you're never going to find a woman who will shine your shoes and pick up after you all the time. Wake up.
Rocky: Oh really? I meet a lot of women like that, but not at this party. [Oh.] I also prefer a woman who'll stay home, cook, clean, and watch the kids.
Ed: Okay, but what are your household responsibilities once you get home from work?
Rocky: Hmm. Eat, watch TV, and throw out the garbage.
Ed: Wait, wait, wait. I can't believe I'm hearing this. In fact, you're never going to get married. I recently read a news report that said 40 percent of women don't think their husbands do their share around the house, and you seem to be that type.
Rocky: Well, that's the way I am, but what's YOUR idea of the perfect woman?
Ed: Well, I like a woman who's outgoing, caring, and non-judgmental about people's differences, and it bothers me when people think they're the center of the universe . . . like someone I know.
Rocky: Well, that's nice for you, but that doesn't change my point of view. I guess I'll have to go home to a TV dinner and my dog, Rusty.
Ed: Hey, and if I stick with you, this is going to be a long, lonely night. Say hello to Rusty for me.

Ed: Này Rocky! Bạn đã ngồi suốt đêm. Hãy ra ngoài và nhảy với một người như người phụ nữ đằng kia.

Rocky: Không thể nào! Cô ấy trông giống kiểu trí thức.

Ed: Ôi nào anh bạn! Bạn thích kiểu phụ nữ nào?

Rocky: Tôi muốn một người phụ nữ tình cảm và đáp ứng mọi nhu cầu của tôi, và người phụ nữ đó không phải là mẫu người phù hợp.

Ed: Này. Bạn đã ở đâu Thời thế đang thay đổi, và bạn sẽ không bao giờ tìm thấy một người phụ nữ sẽ đánh giày và nhặt đồ cho bạn mọi lúc. Thức dậy.

Rocky: Ồ vậy sao? Tôi gặp rất nhiều phụ nữ như vậy, nhưng không phải ở bữa tiệc này. [Oh.] Tôi cũng thích một người phụ nữ sẽ ở nhà, nấu ăn, dọn dẹp và trông chừng bọn trẻ.

Ed: Được rồi, nhưng trách nhiệm gia đình của bạn là gì khi bạn đi làm về?

Rocky: Hmm. Ăn, xem TV và vứt rác.

Ed: Đợi, đợi, đợi. Tôi không thể tin rằng tôi đang nghe điều này. Thực tế, bạn sẽ không bao giờ kết hôn. Gần đây tôi đã đọc một báo cáo tin tức nói rằng 40 phần trăm phụ nữ không nghĩ rằng chồng của họ chia sẻ xung quanh nhà, và bạn dường như là kiểu đó.

Rocky: Chà, đó là tôi, nhưng ý tưởng của bạn về người phụ nữ hoàn hảo là gì?

Ed: Chà, tôi thích một người phụ nữ hướng ngoại, quan tâm và không phán xét về sự khác biệt của mọi người, và điều đó làm phiền tôi khi mọi người nghĩ rằng họ là trung tâm của vũ trụ. . . như một người mà tôi biết

Rocky: Chà, điều đó tốt cho bạn, nhưng điều đó không thay đổi quan điểm của tôi. Tôi đoán tôi sẽ phải về nhà ăn tối trên TV và chú chó của tôi, Rusty.

Ed: Này, và nếu tôi gắn bó với bạn, đây sẽ là một đêm dài, cô đơn. Xin chào Rusty cho tôi.
