是的索利斯夫人，我们见过。

Carlos: Don't you remember, it was after Mama died. Apparently the hospital was negligent and agreed to a seven figure settlement cheque. A cheque I was never told about.

难道你不记得，妈妈去世以后，很明显是医院的失职，他们愿意偿付一笔7位数的和解金，一笔我根本不知道的钱。

Carlos: What were you thinking?

你到底在想什么呢

你居然不告诉我

Gabrielle: Because I couldn't trust you to make the right decision.

Carlos: No, the right decision was to use that money for my lawyers. We could have fought the indictment and then I wouldn't have had to take the plea bargain.

正确的决定就是用这笔钱去付我的律师费，这样就能打赢官司，我就不用接受认罪协议。

Gabrielle: If you didn't take the plea deal the government would have seized the settlement.

如果你不接受认罪协议，政府会纠缠不清。

Carlos: Oh, we could have fought that in court.

那我们就继续打官司

Gabrielle: Exactly and then you would have blown all the money on lawyer.

没错，然后你会把所有的钱付给律师

等你出来，你就会感谢我，多亏我我们才有资金东山再起。
