英文台词
Gym
Lynette is talking to Lauren.
Lynette: "Ah. That was the best class ever. I can just feel terrific, thank you."
Lauren: "Oh Lynette, this is my friend Kelly."
Kelly: "Hi."
Lynette: "Hi!"
Lauren: "She wanted to meet Parker."
Lynette: "Oh really? Why?"
Kelly: "I'm a survivor. Breast cancer. About six years ago. Can I hug your son?"
Lynette: "Sure."
Kelly kneels down to eye level with Parker.
Kelly: "I know exactly what you're going through. But you're gonna be brave, okay? You are going to survive this, because you are a tough little soldier."
Kelly looks like she is about to cry, and then she hugs Parker. Parker turns and looks at Lynette.
Parker: "Mommy? Am I dying?"
Lynette glances first at Kelly, then at Lauren. She gets down on her knees, eye level with Parker. She makes a funny face with big eyes as she looks him in the eye.
Lynette: "No! you're not dying! People just think that because I shaved your head."
Kelly: "You shaved his head?"
Parker: "Yeah, my brothers put bubble gum in my hair."
Lynette: "Sorry." (Starts walking away) "Excuse me."
"And just like that, Lynette realized the road to enlightenment and spiritual well being was now closed to her."

台词译文
健身房
勒奈特在和劳伦说话。
勒奈特：“啊。那是有史以来最好的课。我感觉很好，谢谢你。”
劳伦：“哦，勒奈特，这是我的朋友凯利。”
凯莉：“嗨。”
勒奈特：“嗨！”
劳伦：“她想见帕克。”
勒奈特：“真的吗？为什么？”
凯莉：“我是个幸存者。乳腺癌。大约六年前的事儿了。我能抱抱你儿子吗？”
勒奈特：“当然可以。”
凯利跪下与帕克齐平。
凯莉：“我很清楚你在经历什么。但你要勇敢，好吗？你会挺过来的，因为你是个坚强的小兵。”
凯莉看起来要哭了，然后她拥抱了帕克。帕克转过身来看着勒奈特。
帕克：“妈妈？我要死了吗？”
勒奈特先看了凯利一眼，然后又看了劳伦一眼。她蹲下，视线和帕克持平。她看着他的眼睛，做了一张滑稽的脸，眼睛大大的。
勒奈特：“不！你不会死的！人们之所以这么想，是因为我剃了你的头。”
凯莉：“你剃了他的头？”
帕克：“是啊，我兄弟把泡泡糖放在我头发上。”
勒奈特：“对不起。”（开始走开）“对不起。”
“就这样，勒奈特意识到通往启蒙和精神幸福的道路现在已经对她关闭了。”
