Dialogue Script 對話原文

Sam: Hi, Ms Li. Come on in! How do you like it? I've redone the whole place!

Li: Oh, my goodness... It's so beautiful.

Sam: Interior design is my hobby, so...

Li: So that explains the noise and the strangers...

Sam: Yep. Putting in hardwood floors is noisy. The music was to cover up the noise.

Li: I see. So what about the rent?

Sam: Here you go. I was meaning to get it to you. I'm sorry it's late.

Li: That's OK. But why didn't you tell me before?

Sam: I couldn't stand the apartment the way it was - so bland.

Li: And you were afraid I wouldn't allow it, right?

Sam: Yeah, I wanted to wait. I knew that when you saw the finished product, you'd like it.

Li: Like it? Actually I'm thinking about asking if you'd switch the apartment with us!
