How can I use this to get Nate off the hook?

Hooking up with your dad's second wife? I thought my family was twisted, but you people take the cake.

hook up with:
這里指have sex，不過(guò)當(dāng)它表示這個(gè)意思的時(shí)候，你hook up的對(duì)象，通常不是你的戀人或者愛(ài)人，就比如Catherine和Marcus這種的。hook up還可以指make out（親熱）或者h(yuǎn)ang out（外出約會(huì)）。總之兩個(gè)人搞在一起了，就可以用hook up.
take the cake: to be the winner. 以前美國(guó)南部的奴隸主會(huì)舉行一種叫做cakewalking的比賽，參加比賽的都是黑奴，步態(tài)優(yōu)美者就能獲得一塊蛋糕作為獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)。

open myself up to you: 我向你敞開(kāi)了心扉
throw up: “吐”在口語(yǔ)中最常用的就是throw up和puke了，至于vomit，是醫(yī)學(xué)上的講法。

Catherine, whatever it is, just spare me. What do you mean? Vanessa talked to the duke? No, I told her to stay out of this.

spare me: give me a break, 放過(guò)我，饒了我，別來(lái)煩我了
stay out of this: 不要插手這件事情。
