Kathleen Kelly: You know the world is not driven by 1)discounts. Believe me. I have been in business forever. I mean I started helping my mother after school here when I was six years old. And I used to watch her. And it wasn’t that she was just selling books, it was that she was helping people become whoever it was they were gonna turn out to be. Because when you read a book as a child, it becomes part of your 2)identity in a way that no other reading in your whole life does and I have gotten 3)carried away.

凯瑟琳•凯丽:你知道,世界不是由折扣来推动的,相信我。我一直在这行做。我是说我六岁就在放学后在这帮我妈干,照看生意。我曾经看着她做。她并不仅仅是在卖书,她是在帮助那些人成长,不管成长为什么样的自己。因为你孩童时读过的书,会成为你品性的一部分,这是你以后一生中所读的其他的书所不能做到的,我自己就深受影响。
乔•弗克斯:是的。你受了影响。你让我觉得非常迷人。你母亲很迷人。
凯瑟琳:是的,她很迷人。
收银员:呃,你要怎么付账?
乔:现金。
凯瑟琳:你怎么知道的?
乔:噢,这里有照片。
凯瑟琳:噢。
乔:照片中那是你吗?你在干什么?
凯瑟琳:拉拉队抛棍。我妈和我曾经去当过拉拉队。不管怎样,她把书店留给我,我又会把书店留给我女儿。
收银员:一共七十三美元,谢谢。
乔:多少?
收银员:呃,七十三美元。
乔:你女儿现在多大?
凯瑟琳:噢,我还没有女儿。哦,不,我还没结婚,但会的。所以那一无是处的弗克斯书店去见他的……
乔:呃。
凯瑟琳:好了。
乔:你准备好了吗?我们准备好了。
安娜贝尔:再见,凯瑟琳。
凯瑟琳:再见,安娜贝尔。
