Kathy: Have you lost your marbles, Morley?
     Dan: [Holds his stomach] Hmm, I could do with losing this spare tire. All right, why not?
     Kathy: You foreigners are crazy. That's hundreds of kilometers of cycling.
     Dan: You can ride a scooter.
     Kathy: Well, it is something different.
     Dan: Perfect. If you take a scooter, you can carry all our stuff.
     Kathy: Hey! What do you think I am? Your porter or something?
     Dan: Pretty please, with sugar on top!

     卡西:你瘋了嗎,莫理?
     阿丹:(捧著他的肚子)嗯,這樣我可以順便甩掉這圈肥肉。好啊,有何不可?
     卡西:你們這些外國人都瘋了。那樣要騎幾百公里耶。
     阿丹:你可以騎機車啊。
     卡西:嗯,那倒是蠻新鮮的。
     阿丹:太好了。如果你騎機車,就可以幫我們載所有的東西。
     卡西:嘿!你把我當成什么了?你的挑夫還是什么?
     阿丹:拜托,拜托啦!
