Bubbly
(Background jolly party ambiance)
Helen: Hello Finn. This is a fantastic party.
Finn: Oh, hello Helen, thanks.
Helen: You look worried. What's the matter? It's New Year's Eve, you should be enjoying yourself. What's wrong?
Finn: Nothing, nothing!
Helen: Are you sure?
Finn: I'm quite sure. Oh god, what'll I do?
Helen: What?
Finn: It's all right, Helen, don't tell anyone, but-
Helen: Yes?
Finn: There's no bubbly!
Helen: What?
Finn: I've forgotten the bubbly!
Helen: Forgotten the bubbly? (Big collective gasp)
Finn: Ha ha, you've misunderstood.
Helen: I don't think I have misunderstood. Bubbly means champagne. Champagne is called bubbly because it has lots of bubbles in it, lots of gas. You said you had forgotten the bubbly.
Finn: Ha no, no, no. Ha ha ha. I didn't say that. I said I'd forgotten the... the er... I said I'd forgotten you looked lovely, Helen. Helen: Oh. Thank you. So there is champagne?
Finn: Yes, yes, of course. Of course, of course,we have champagne.
Helen: That's a relief. Champagne is the traditional drink for New Year's Eve in Britain. Everyone counts down to midnight, then they say ‘cheers' and drink champagne. It really would be a disaster if Finn had forgotten it.
Party voices: 10...9...8...
Helen: Oh, the countdown has started! Where's Finn? He must have gone to get the champagne. He'd better hurry up!
Party voices: One...,Happy New Year!
Party voice 1: Where IS the bubbly,where is...?
Party voice 2: Where IS the bubbly then?
Helen: Oh dear! I can't find Finn anywhere!
Party voice 2:Don't tell me there's no bubbly!
Party voice 3: Don't tell me there's no champagne!
Helen: Finn? Where are you?
Finn: Oh dear. I must run for my life, they'll be so cross! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry, Helen! Happy New Year!
(欢快的派对背景声音。) 你好，Finn。 这个派棒极了！
哦，你好，Helen，谢谢你这么说。
你看起来忧心忡忡的样子。 怎么了？ 除夕夜，你应该开心才对呀。 到底怎么了？
没什么，没什么！
你确定吗？
很确定！ 哦，老天，我该怎么办？
什么啊？
也没什么啦，别告诉别人，只是……
什么事儿呢？
没有bubbly呢。
什么？
我忘了bubbly了。
忘了香槟？ 集体倒抽一口凉气
哈哈，你误解了！ 我可没觉得我搞错了！ Bubbly是香槟的意思啊。 因为香槟里面有很多的气泡泡 ，所以被叫做Bubbly——香槟。 你说你忘了香槟了。
哈哈哈，没有没有啦！ 哈哈哈。 我可没那样说。 我是说我忘了，呃，忘了……你看起来很漂亮，Helen。
哦。 谢谢。 也就是说有香槟咯？
是的，当然啦。 我们当然，当然有香槟啦。
这我就放心了。 在英国，除夕喝香槟可是传统。 半夜时，大家会倒数，然后大声欢呼，之后便是喝香槟。 如果Finn把香槟给忘了，那将是一场灾难！
派对上传来的声音：10...9...8...
哦，大家已经在开始倒数了！
Finn去哪儿呢？ 他一定是去拿香槟 了。 他可得赶紧啊！
派对上传来声音：1……新年快乐！
派对上传来声音1：香槟在哪里？在哪儿？
派对上传来声音2：香槟在哪里呢？
老天，我怎么也找不到Finn。
派对上传来声音2：别跟我说这里没有香槟！
派对上传来声音3：别跟我说这里没有香槟！
Finn，你在哪里？
哦，老天！ 我得为了保命赶紧跑路。大家会气疯的！ 对不起，对不起，对不起啦，Helen！ 新年快乐！
