Lisa picks up Jun at the Honolulu Airport
Lisa: Aloha! I have a lei to welcome you to paradise.
Jun: Huh? I don’t see any cuties around.
Lisa: No, silly. Not that kind of “lay.” This lei is a necklace made of Hawaiian flowers! [hands Jun a lei]
Jun: Thanks. I was just kidding, you know. The islands look so beautiful from the air.
Lisa: And they look even more lush from the ground.
Jun: Well, after the Mormon Utah desert, I can use as much lushness as I can get. [puts on the lei]

小君:谢啦,你知道我是在开玩笑。从空中看这些岛简直美呆了。
莉莎:而它们从地上看起来更是绿意盎然。
小君:经历了摩门犹他州的沙漠之后,再多的绿意我都不嫌多。(戴上花环)
