-Sorry I'm late. I was ten minutes early for my shift, so I thought "well, I have 20 minutes to kill," and I wandered into this cool surf shop. And saw this guy polishing a surfboard.
-A surfer here? You don't hang ten in Williamsburg, You hang yourself.
-I'm with Max, the only waves we get in Brooklyn are heat waves and crime waves.
-Earl, you never go out to the beach?
-You crazy? I'm ain't gonna get eaten by some shark. Ain't nobody got time for that.
-The chances of you being bit by a shark are, like, 0.0001%.
-Not if you're black. Sharks are racist as hell. That's why they call them "great whites."
-抱歉我迟到了。我本来早到了10分钟,我就想"我还得消磨20分钟才开始上班",刚好就逛进了一家冲浪用品店,然后看到一个男的在给冲浪板抛光。
-在这带混的冲浪者?威廉斯堡可不是冲浪的圣地,是上吊的宝地。
-我同意,布鲁克林这里唯一有的"浪潮"只有热"浪"跟犯罪"潮"。
-厄尔,你没去过海滩吗?
-你疯啦?老子才不要去喂鲨鱼,也没那个闲工夫。
