Billy: You're so witty...

Jennifer: So why is the face tilted to the right?

Billy: This watch is supposed to be worn on your left hand.

Jennifer: So it's not as convenient for left-handed people?

Billy: It's better for right-handed people like me. See, I don't even have to move my arm to see the time.

Jennifer: I'm left-handed. You bought that watch so that I won't borrow it...

Billy: Bingo!

比　利：你真是聰明啊……

珍妮花：這個(gè)表面怎么歪向右邊啊?

比　利：這只表本來是讓你戴左手的。

珍妮花：那這對(duì)于左撇子的人就沒那么方便了?

比　利：給我這種用右手的人就比較好用。你瞧，我要看時(shí)間，連胳膊都不用轉(zhuǎn)動(dòng)。

珍妮花：我是左撇子。你買那只表是為了不讓我借……

比　利：答對(duì)了!
