佩琦o弗萊明：早上好。

麥琦o卡朋特：你覺得我和考力調情？

佩琦：你也早上好。氣色很好嘛。

麥琦：謝謝。你覺得我和考力調情？

佩琦：對。

麥琦：我不是認真的。

佩琦：我了解。我想有時你仿佛有一股子旺盛的騷勁發作起來，剛好落在任何一個活動著的雄性身上。

麥琦：任何活動著的雄性，對比任何不動的雄性？

佩琦：噢，好比珊瑚蟲之類的。

麥琦：我想自殺。

佩琦：為何？

麥琦：由于你覺得我是如此的人，喂，男性，看看我啊.

佩琦：不對，我不如此覺得。我覺得你是那種我有魔力，有神秘感，即使我不可以理解，但我身上有一種東西正呼喊著尋求像你這種高大男性的保護.這種東西是非常難與之對抗的，尤其是對那些已婚并已失去神秘感的女子來講。

麥琦：失去你有你非常神秘。

佩琦：不，我是怪異。怪異和神秘是兩種完全不一樣的東西。

麥琦：我才是怪異。

佩琦：不，你非常善變。善變和怪異是兩種完全不一樣的東西。

麥琦：佩琦，我覺得有一種明顯的可能性，我錯了，錯得亂七八糟、不可救藥。雖然我愛你，而且我答應你不再和考力調情。

佩琦：麥琦，我不是擔憂你和考力或是我和考力或是你錯得如何不可救藥。麥琦，從小你就是如此，我所想的就是，目前你已經意識到了這點，這有時非常傷其他人的感情。或許是好好生活的時候了，把自己托付給你一個人的人，像鮑勃那樣的，假如他是你想要的。

麥琦：我了解。我可以做些什么來補償嗎？

佩琦：噢，有一件事總能給我心靈帶來溫暖，就是鴨嘴獸。

麥琦：鴨嘴像在樺樹營時才好玩

佩琦：來一個，快。

麥琦：攜帶帳篷旅游，我的腿就是桿子，天下著雨，你了解那時才真叫好玩。

佩琦：大家再來一次。

句子模仿秀

這句話妙在它的用詞，如spaz out， lands on， male that moves. 這種感受一般不太好表達，更別說用一句話說了解。而這一句非常精辟，生動形象，充滿智慧。
