Making the pitch to Mr. Fro

Fro:This'd better be good. I'm about to fire you all and find another company.

James:We've brought you a little something from the place down the street, Kitty Cafe-Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans!

Fro:Mmm, smells good. Sure better than my instant. But please don't tell me this is another coffee-themed pitch. I thought I told you...

James:...yes, but this one has an all-new buzz.

fire (v.)

開除

A: Why do you look so worried?

你為合看起來這么愁眉苦臉的?

B: Because I got fired, and I don't have any money.

因為我被炒魷魚了，而且我沒錢。

theme (v.)

以…為主題

I like the theme of this new movie.

我喜歡這出新片的主題。

buzz

(強(qiáng)烈感受到的)興奮，快樂。這個字可以表示喝太多咖啡后的亢奮，也可以表示事情讓人興奮之處，此處是語帶雙關(guān)，表示這個點子像咖啡般，會給人興奮的感覺

I get such a buzz from eating betel nut.

我在吃檳榔上得到了強(qiáng)烈的快感。

對法洛先生提案中

法洛：這次最好是好點子。我都準(zhǔn)備要開除你們，去找別家公司了。

詹姆士：我們從街底的凱蒂咖啡店帶了一點東西給你——牙買加藍(lán)山咖啡豆!

法洛：嗯，聞起來不錯。的確勝過我平常喝的即溶咖啡。但是別跟我說這又是一個以咖啡為主題的提案。我想我跟你們說過了……

詹姆士：……沒錯，但是這一次有了全新的切入點。
