律师 or 救援投手?


当Harvey告诉美女侍者自己是一位closer时,美女的第一反应是baseball(棒球)运动中的closer,也就是就是救援投手。而我们法律人听到closer,首先就会想到是close the deal的人,即律师。


词汇句型:

a charging bull always looks at the red cape, not at the man with the sword.

被激怒的公牛只会盯着红色斗篷,而不是持剑的斗牛士。

Skadden

世达国际律师事务所,一家美国律师事务所

    1. How did you know Gerald wouldn’t look at that memo?
      Because a charging bull always looks at the red cape, not at the man with the sword.
      By the way, I’ve set up a meeting for you and John Dockery next week.
      Dockery? He’s Skadden’s biggest client.
      Not anymore. He’s looking around. He wants us to assess where he’s vulnerable to a takeover. Plays tennis. – I want you to close him.
      – Consider it done.
      Then you are officially dismissed for the evening.
      Cheers.
      Well, you two seem to be celebrating something.
      Mm- hmm. We are.
      In fact, you are looking at the best closer this city has ever seen.
      Closer, huh?
      – Baseball?
      – Attorney.
      I close situations.
      Hmm. So you only care about money?
      The truth is, I do it for the children.
      I’m Lisa.
      Harvey.
      Lisa, I don’t normally do this, but since we are celebrating, what time do you get off tonight?
      I’m glad you asked. I get off at ten past. I’m never going out with you.
      I guess you’re not the best closer this city’s ever seen.
      – Morning.
      – Lisa, this was lovely, but I’m afraid you have to go. I hate to miss a workout, and I really need to be in the office by 7:30.
      I can make you breakfast. You could eat it off my stomach.
      I guess if I skip the gym, I can still get in by 9:00.
