Two strangers at a pub
Shelly:[To bartender] Can you turn on the TV, please? Thanks.
Aliang: [Looks at TV] A Michael Jackson video. I used to love his music when I was young.
Shelly: Too bad he turned out to be a pedophile.
Aliang: He’s always been pretty weird. He built an amusement park at his house.
Shelly: Probably to attract little kids.
Aliang: He even had a fan club called the Rubberhead Club of kids called "rubbers".
Shelly: That’s right. I heard that the boy accusing him of molestation was called his "rubba rubba friend."
Aliang: He was so freaky that he made them watch episodes of the Three Stooges every day, memorize lines from Peter Pan and say "No" to drugs.

两个陌生人在一间酒吧内

阿良:(看电视)麦克杰克逊的录像带。我年轻时曾经好喜欢他的音乐。
莎莉:真可惜他变成一个恋童癖。
阿良:他一向都相当奇怪。他在家里盖了一个游乐园。
莎莉:或许是要吸引小孩子吧。
阿良:他还有一个叫做‘橡皮头’的儿童歌迷俱乐部,当中的小孩被称为‘橡皮’。
莎莉:对呀。我听他说控告他性侵害的男孩被称为是他的‘小橡皮朋友’。
阿良:他超怪的,他还要他们每天都看《三个傻子》的影集,背《小飞侠彼得潘》的台词,还要对毒品说‘不’。
