Linus: I want you to call Seattle and Tokyo and tell them to stop construction. Then get the Rons and Tysons and tell them there's an emergency meeting on the merger here at noon. And take this Paris ticket that wasin my nameand transfer it to the name of David Larrabee. I need to see my mother.
David: Linus!
Linus: Need to see my mother as soon as she gets in.
Mack: Good morning, David. Can I get you some coffee? No? OK.
Linus: I got a surprise for you.
David: Yeah. I got one for you, too. I've watched you do business for years, but I thoughtthere was a limit tohow sick you could... How could you, Linus? How could you do what you did to me and her? How could yougo that far? What the hell makes you think you have the right?
Linus: Habit. Listen, David, I tried something and it didn't work, I mean it worked, but it didn't really work. I want you to go to Paris today, with Sabrina.
David: What?
Linus: This whole thing was a business tactic, I let it get out of hand. Somehow I lost my focus. I screwed up everything. But I know it can be fixed. I manipulated her, I confused her. But she's loved you all her life. You're what she really wants. You're what she's always wanted. Go with her, it's not too late. Things will work out. She'll make you happy. I don't want her to have to leave here alone.
David: What about Patrick and the merger? You'dblow a billion dollarsfor this? I see.
Linus: Get going. Go on. Don't miss the plane.
David: Ms. McCartle I want to see you in my office right away. Where is it?

4. blow a billion dollars
在這里要簡(jiǎn)單提一下 blow 的用法。首先大家先看一下例句，You'd blow a billion dollars for this? 按照上下文的意思，這里blow 應(yīng)譯為“放棄可以賺 a billion dollars 的機(jī)會(huì)”。在日常生活當(dāng)中我們最常用的是 blow it ，例如：我們搞砸了某個(gè)項(xiàng)目，就可以說(shuō) we blow it！
