James walks by Jess’ desk
Jess: Don't open any of my forwards! I got a virus!
James:Don't tell me you got the dreaded Bush virus. I've heard that that bug is threatening to infect the world.
Jess: Yes, that's exactly the bug I got. Though, I do kind of like the pictures.

詹姆士走過潔絲的辦公桌
潔 絲:別打開我轉(zhuǎn)寄的信!我中毒了!
詹姆士:別跟我說你中了可怕的布什病毒。我聽說那個病毒正威脅要蔓延到全世界。
潔 絲:對,我就是中這個毒。不過,我倒還挺喜歡這些照片的。
詹姆士:(看一眼)這些衣服還真的比較適合他。
