人类最好的朋友
ACT 1
亚历山德拉:罗比,这个新的随身听真是好极了。
罗比:是理查德和玛丽琳买给我的生日礼物。
亚历山德拉:他们想得真周到。罗比,你有这样温暖的家庭,运气真好。
罗比:你怎么了,有什么心事吗,亚历山德拉?
亚历山德拉:不,没有什么。
罗比:准有心事,我看得出来。究竟怎么啦?来,你可以跟我说说,出什么事了?
亚历山德拉:我也不知道,觉得不高兴。
罗比:好,我们谈一谈吧。
亚历山德拉:今天早上我接到父母亲来的一封信。
罗比:他们信里告诉你什么不好的消息吗?
亚历山德拉:没有。
罗比:那么你为什么这样不好受呢?
亚历山德拉:我想他们,非常想念他们。
罗比:我很难过,亚历山德拉。我理解你的心情。
亚历山德拉:莫利那一家对我很好,而且我也很喜欢和你们家人在一起……可是我收到那封信,信里还附寄了我们家里人的相片,我就哭了。我哭是因为我想念他们每一个人。
罗比:你真的很想念你家里人,是不是?
亚历山德拉:是的。我知道我一定显得很傻,傻得可笑。又不是说我没有亲人。我很喜欢莫利那一家,他们对我好极了。
罗比:嗨,咱们出去吃点干酪汉堡包和炸土豆条怎么样?那会让你高兴起来的。你还可以带上我的随身听,听音乐.
亚历山德拉:这是个好主意,可是我们要是出去玩的话,请你不要抱怨你的数学老师和数学作业。我想玩得高兴些.
罗比:我也一样。[他开始关屋里的灯。] 我必须关上灯,要不然我父亲真要生气了。他说我出去时从来不关灯,要是他们回来看见灯还亮着……[他把食指在喉部横着一抹,表示他父亲会发怒。]
[廊坪的门口有些响动。]
罗比:你听见什么声音了吗?
亚历山德拉:听见了,是什么声音?
罗比:听起来像是有只狗在叫。
亚历山德拉:像是有只狗就在这儿叫。
罗比:是啊。[他打开门,外面蹲着一只狗。]
亚历山德拉:一只狗!
罗比:一只长毛垂耳狗![对狗说] 进来吧!不必客气。
亚历山德拉:噢,你这可怜的小家伙。过来。
罗比:来呀。
亚历山德拉:可怜的小娃娃。
罗比:你是打哪儿来的?
亚历山德拉:[她看着狗的号牌。] 她叫杰玛,是莱文森先生和夫人的狗。还有电话号码——555……8448。罗比,也许你该给莱文森先生和夫人打电话,告诉他们说他们的好玩的小长耳朵狗在我们这儿。
罗比:我一直都想养条长毛垂耳狗,她真好玩。[他到电话机旁,拨了莱文森家的号码。]
话务员:你要的电话——555……8448是空号。
罗比:[他挂上电话。]那号码不再使用了。
亚历山德拉:[对小狗说]噢,你这可怜、可怜的小娃娃,你找不到家里人了。
罗比:我们会给她找到的。甭担心,亚历山德拉。
ACT 2
罗比:不用担心,亚历山德拉,我们会找到狗的主人的。
亚历山德拉:怎么去找呢,罗比?
罗比:让我想想。
亚历山德拉:[对狗说] 杰玛,坐下。好杰玛,伸出爪子来。乖杰玛。这条狗受过良好的训练。
罗比:她还很喜欢你。
亚历山德拉:那么我们怎么才能找到狗的主人呢?
罗比:靠ASPCA帮忙。ASPCA是美国防止虐待动物协会,就得找他们。我们有一回捡到一只猫,她被困在我们树上的树枝里下不来了,爸爸就给ASPCA打电话,他们来把问题解决了。
亚历山德拉:那咱们给他们打电话吧,罗比。
[罗比在电话号码薄里查电话号码。]
罗比:我看看——ASPCA……在这儿。ASPCA动物收容所,555……7700。[他打电话。]
琳达:这里是ASPCA,你好。
罗比:你好,我的名字是罗比•斯图尔特。我这儿有一条走失的狗,想给你们送来。你们开到什么时候为止?
琳达:到晚上9点钟。
罗比:谢谢你,我在9点以前把狗送来。
琳达:谢谢,再见。
罗比:谢谢,再见。[他挂上电话。]
亚历山德拉:他们还开着吗?
罗比:他们开到9点钟,咱们还有两个半小时。咱们现在就把杰玛送去吧,他们会找到狗的主人的。
亚历山德拉:我希望能找到。我看到这只小狗找不到家里人,心里真难受。
罗比:我敢肯定他们会找到狗的主人的。如果他们找不到,我就领养她。她真好玩,你看看她的眼睛,真招人喜欢。你可不是也喜欢她吗?
亚历山德拉:我也想留下她。可是我在这学期末要回希腊去,她真需要人疼爱她,关怀她。来吧,罗比,咱们把她送到动物收容所去,好让他们快点找到她的主人。[对狗说]甭发愁,杰玛,我们会给你送回家的,离开家是不好受的.
罗比:来吧,小狗。乖孩子!咱们走吧!到动物收容所去喽!
在ASPCA动物收容所里,罗比和亚历山德拉在收容所所长琳达•埃波恩的办公室里。
琳达:[她在填写一张表格。] 你的名字叫什么?
罗比:罗比•斯图尔特。她叫亚历山德拉•派巴斯。
琳达:有你的名字就可以了,斯图尔特先生。你的地址?
罗比:里弗代尔,林登大街,46号。
琳达:你是在哪儿捡到这只狗的?
亚历山德拉:她自己找上门来的。
琳达:你有没有试过给皮项圈上的号码打电话?
罗比:打过了,可是这号码已经不用了。
琳达:狗的号牌上没有地址吗?
亚历山德拉:没有别的字。
琳达:没有登记号码。没有的话,可难找啊。
亚历山德拉:你会尽力找到狗的主人的。
琳达:相信我,我们会尽力去找的。
罗比:要是你找不到呢?
琳达:怎么样?
罗比:如果你们找不到……我可以……我可以领养这条狗吗?
琳达:啊,可以的。如果狗的主人在48小时内不来认领,那么你就可以申请领养了。
罗比:我该怎么办呢?
亚历山德拉:你真的想要领养它?
罗比:是的,我是认真的。如果没有人来认领杰玛,我愿意领养它。
琳达:那不难做到。
ACT 3
琳达:好,如果你想领养一个动物,我们首先需要知道一些旁证材料。
罗比:旁证?是指知道我的人吗?
琳达:朋友,教师……我们需要和一些人谈谈你的情况。我们得确认你是负责的,你能好好照顾动物。然后你得填写这张有关你家庭背景的表格。
罗比:就这些吗?
琳达:不,还有别的。我们需要知道你和动物间关系的过去情况。你曾经养过动物没有?罗比:有过。我8岁的时候,我们家养过一只猫。我爱猫。
琳达:你现在养着动物吗?
罗比:很遗憾,没有。
亚历山德拉:还有别的事吗?
琳达:我们还想知道你要想领养动物的原因。
亚历山德拉:只是想抱着它,爱抚它。只是想有个宠物。我最喜欢动物了。
罗比:我想要有个朋友——一个伙伴。你知道,人的最好的朋友就是他的狗。
琳达:还有一件事。如果你还不到21岁……
罗比:我是不到21岁。
琳达:那么必须有个成年人为你签字负责。
亚历山德拉:呃,噢。
罗比:没有问题。我父母亲会认为这主意不错,我会和他们一起来。
亚历山德拉:如果狗的真正主人不来认领杰玛……
琳达:要过48小时,不过请先来电话问一下。
罗比:谢谢你告诉我这些事,还要谢谢你帮助我们。
琳达:我愿意为你们服务,很高兴能和你们谈。
[他们起身要走了。]
罗比:再次谢谢你,再见。
亚历山德拉:也许狗的真正主人会来认领她的。
罗比:她的眼睛看起来很忧郁,她一定非常想念他们。
琳达:我可以看得出来你们都喜欢动物。
罗比:是的。
亚历山德拉:再见,埃波恩小姐。我们过一两天再给你打电话。
琳达:再见,还要谢谢你们把杰玛送来。
罗比:再见。
当天稍后的时候,在佩里埃罗的饭馆里,罗比和亚历山德拉坐在一个火车座里,他们刚要为晚饭点菜。
亚历山德拉:我一直在惦记那只狗——惦记杰玛独自一个呆在动物收容所里。
罗比:我知道。但是我向你保证那只狗的情况很好,亚历山德拉。他们对动物可好了。
亚历山德拉:我知道。我不放心的是她独自一个。即使他们对杰玛很好,她还是孤零零的,没有亲人。
[服务员过来请他们点菜。]
服务员:诸位,可以点菜了吗?
罗比:亚历山德拉,你想好了吗?
亚历山德拉:我想好了。劳驾,我要主厨沙拉。
罗比:我要一个干酪汉堡包,偏嫩一些的,加上生葱头和炸土豆条。
服务员:要喝什么吗?
亚历山德拉:请来一杯健怡可乐。
罗比:我要姜味汽水,多加冰块,谢谢。
服务员:明白了,谢谢。
罗比:动物收容所在给动物找领养的人家这事上如此小心,你不感到奇怪吗?
亚历山德拉:不,我不感到奇怪。
[服务员端来饭菜。]
服务员:还有一个干酪汉堡包,偏嫩的,带葱头和炸土豆条。还有姜味汽水,多加冰块。要什么沙拉调料?
在饭馆里,稍过了一会儿,罗比和亚历山德拉在吃饭。
罗比:嗨,刚才那狗抓前门的时候,我正想让你听听我新得到的音响设备。咱们先吃完,然后就回我们家去。我想让你听听我的新录音带,我有一些好极了的新舞蹈音乐带。
在斯图尔特家住宅里,当天晚上稍后的时候,罗比和亚历山德拉在跳舞。电话铃响了,罗比去接电话。
罗比:你好。这里是斯图尔特家。
琳达:你好。罗比•斯图尔特在吗?
罗比:我就是,你是谁啊?
琳达:我是动物收容所的琳达•埃波恩。
罗比:[对亚历山德拉说] 是动物收容所的埃波恩。琳达,你好。
琳达:罗比,我们给你带来好消息,同时还有坏消息。
罗比:噢?
琳达:好消息是莱文森夫妇来领回他们的狗了,坏消息是你就不能领养它了。
罗比:那没关系。
琳达:哪天有空过来看看别的狗,我相信会有一只适合你的。谢谢你,罗比。还有莱文森夫妇让我谢谢你把狗送到我们这儿来。
罗比:谢谢,琳达。再见。[他挂上电话。]
亚历山德拉:杰玛的主人把它领回去了?
罗比:正是这样。
亚历山德拉:我为那只狗感到高兴。
罗比:我想我也感到高兴。她说要是我过她那儿去,她会帮我找到另一只狗的。
亚历山德拉:[她笑了。] 来吧,咱们跳舞吧。
