真的有事。我昨晚和阿里克斯的母親談過話…你知道，她要搬到洛杉磯去…

I remember. How do it go?

我記得。談得如何?

Not very well. She still wants him to go with her. Of course, I want him to stay here. It looks like we'll have to go back to court over it. I don't know what I'm gonna tell Alex. It's terrifying. The judge may ask him to choose.

不太好。她要他和他們走。當然，我要他呆在這兒?？雌饋砦覀冞€得為此事再上法庭。我不知道怎么告訴阿里克斯。真可怕。法官也許會要求他來選擇。

How horrible. But... wait a minute... you spend more time with him than his mother does.

真可怕。但是…等一下…你和他在一起的時間比他母親多。

True, but who knows what the judge will decide. I'm not looking forward to telling Alex about all this.
