After eating
Sam: In my family, we eat a different kind of brain food.
Ian: Wait. Let me guess what it is. Mmmm... brain?
Sam: You got it. Our mom made us eat pig brain to become smart.
Ian: Gross. I can't imagine one of those in my school lunchbox.
Sam: Funny you say that. My mom used to put pig brain in my school lunches.
Ian: Moms always seem to know best.
Sam: On that note, let's go home. Ann needs to hit the books. [winks]

饭后
山姆：在我家，我们吃一种不同的补脑食物。
伊恩：等等。让我猜猜是什么。嗯……脑吗？
山姆：你答对了。为了变聪明，我妈都要我们吃猪脑。
伊恩：好恶心。我无法想象我的学校餐盒里放一块猪脑。
山姆：你那样说还真巧。我妈以前会把猪脑放进我的学校便当里。
伊恩：妈妈似乎一向是万事通。
山姆：提到那个，我们回家吧。安需要读书了。（眨眨眼）
