英国人果然很尖刻

Coupling的四季我都看完了，哈其实是看了好几遍。觉得最出彩的地方在于它的台词很有意思；还有最喜欢的其实是Jeff,可惜第四季他没有出演。再有就是英式对白的幽默，看第一遍有时候不一定立刻就反应过来。。总之好看就是了。。

previous background: Sally and Patrick are good freinds, but with their friendship developing, each of them, especially Sally, has realised the love between them. Then once Sally said "I love Patrick" incidentally and unconsciously. Then this night, Patrick send Sally a text message, asked her to go for a bar. When Sally entered, found the bar be "Private Function".

前提期要：S和P是一对好朋友，随着他们的日常交往，两个人渐渐互生情愫，尤其是 S，甚至在一次Party上不自觉的说出“我爱P”。但是鉴于P是个“从来只有下半身才会充血”的人，他很久之后才意识到。于是那天晚上P给S发了一条短信约她到平常他们去的Bar里。S很开心的去了，还发现整个Bar都被P包下来了哈。

于是俺们的主角告白开始了：

前面一段我觉得太搞笑了，都是P赞扬S的一段话，什么我希望你是我妈妈，哦，不，奶奶之类的，没记台词。从一半开始：

P: Sally, you're the most wonderful woman, in the history of entire universe.

    Since you have said what you said, I have a lot of time to think.

    But obviously that isn't always possible.(就像我前面说的，P从来只好下半身充血。。。他自己也知道。。。)

    Nonetheless, I have been able to consider your application.

   And this is the point, the very important point.

   Sally, you need someone good enough for you. You don't want some mutton-headed city boy who spend all his time thinking about his cars and his golf clubs.

  You want someone who can love you the way you deserved to be loved. （看到这儿的时候俺开始飚眼泪了。。。。）

    Sally, you need someone who will love you forever, properly.

    You're my friend, Sally, and I want to see you with the best. （继续抹眼泪，我可怜的Sally啊，Partrick还是觉得做朋友更好吗？）

    You need Mr. Amazing, Mr Incredibley Superbly, Fantastickness, and in your heart, I'm sure you know I am right.

   于是，于是我们可怜的Sally也哽咽了，哭着说：

Sally: I don't want Mr. Amazing, Mr Incredibley Superbly, Fantastickness,

        You Stupid Stupid ASS!

        I want YOU!

Partrick这个时候无奈说：for god sake, sally.

Sally：WHAT?!WHAT?!

P:I was talking about ME!!

于是我就破涕为笑了。。。。。

这一大段是对coupling片尾曲的最好解释：

if you love me, say yes, but if you dont, confess, please don't say Perhaps, Perhaps, Perhaps.

摘抄一段"the girl with one heart"那集中，Steve对于卫生间之于男人的重大意义所发表的重要演说：
We are men! Throughout history, we have always needed, in times of difficulty, to retreat to our caves. It so happens that in this modern age, our caves are fully plumbed. The toilet is, for us, the last bastion, the final refuge, the last few square feet of man-space left to us! Somewhere to sit, something to read, something to do, and who gives a damn about the smell? Because that, for us, is happiness. Because we are *men.* We are different. We have only one word for soap. We do not own candles. We have never seen anything of any value in a craft shop. We do not own magazines fill of pictures of celebrities with all their clothes *on*. When we have conversations, we actually take it in turns to talk! But we have not yet reached that level of earth-shattering boredom and inhuman despair that we would have a haircut *recreationally*. We don't know how to get excited about... really, *really* boring things, like ornaments, bath oil, the countryside, vases, small churches. I mean, we do not even know what, *what* in the name of God's *ass* is the purpose of pot-pourri! Looks like breakfast, smells like your auntie! Why do we need that? So please, in this strange and frightening world, allow us one last place to call our own. This toilet, this blessed pot, this... fortress of solitude. You girls, you may go to the bathroom in groups of two or more. Yet we do not pass comment. We do not make judgment. That is your choice. But we men will always walk the toilet mile... alone

I was just having no clue how to begin with my recommendation of Coupling, when suddenly I got a question: how to say 打吊瓶? I checked with Genius Kane, who initiated the recommendation and she didn’t have the answer, but, she recoiled with a stunning question: “coupling里没有？”

 

Haha! She has been meeting Coupling, the most classic drama I have ever seen for only 2 days! But she already has got such a response! What? A life encyclopaedia? Exactly! The first reason I recommend this drama to you, is its real-life focusing-faith. Every site you come across in this drama is as real as you can imagine- of course excluding those ancient and dreamy scenes out of dramatic needs.

 

But that is far from the main reason I want everybody interested in the life in UK to see it. The main reason, is its unique sense of humour! So unique that it is even a bit hard to appreciate it at first; so unique that it always goes to extreme to disclose the purest emotion of human being; so unique that you can easily condone any disinclination caused by those unusual sex jokes simply because you would already have been amusedly out of breath! It is truly so unique that you can take a real deep look at this wonderful people, with even a few smart choices of words.

 

The whole drama is a piece of art, and the creator Steven Moffat based the characters of Steve and Susan on himself and his wife (producer Sue Vertue), as he explains: "I have described the series as being 'my life as told by a drunk'. Like most writers, I write about what has happened to me as that involves the minimum amount of research. As it happens, Sue and I are married; so I imagined a scenario about what would have happened if we had met ten years earlier, and took it from there!"

 

I could not come up with any better descriptions of this TV series, but one thing is what at least I can assure you, this Steven, he is never exhausted in brooding weird, bizarre, peculiar, ludicrous but also tremendously entertaining and educational thoughts and ways of telling you so!

 

What is the definition of Classic? My version is something old but never out-of-dated, and whenever you review it, you can still gain something new and novel and cutting edge from it, like the Bible, like New Concept English~, like, “Apparently”, the COUPLING!

 

Rob Belcher's review has made a superb epitome of this drama, he wrote: "this show will speak to anyone who's ever dated, been in a relationship, or just noticed that men and women are different creatures."

 

I sincerely wish a perpetual life of Steven Moffat! I recommend this Sexy fairy tale weaved by 6 thirtysomething lovely actors to you, you would never feel losing your capital if you try to memorize every detail in it, trust me!
