So I'll catch you on the flip.

Is Peter Gregory toying with me? Is he trying to make Richard seem folksy? Like some aw-shucks boy-genius entering an everyman's competition?

@青： toy with me 耍我。Folksy 亲切随和。Aw shucks 相当于“哎呀，真不好意思”，这么说话显得不善言辞。Everyman 普通人。

Unless any of you gringos wants to go out there and tell a guy with three assault convictions that we're not gonna give him the money we promised him.

This is displeasing.

@青： displeasing 令人不悦。

I have never seen him so incensed.

Peter would spend millions just to mildly annoy Gavin.

And you conveniently forgot to mention any of this when you were convincing me to turn down ten million dollars? And now I'm in the middle of some pissing contest between two billionaires.

This is exactly why we need to have clearer lines of communication.

@青： lines of communication 沟通渠道。

So we're just going to work at a nice, leisurely pace, right?

@青： Leisurely pace 从容不迫、不慌不忙的节奏。

Did he really have to paint me giving the thumbs-up? It's gratuitous.

I played you a little. Maybe a lot.

@青： played you a little 在你身上玩了点小花招。

I got caught up in making the deal.

@青： caught up in 我太执着于达成交易，有点魔怔了，忽略了其他的事情。

Your point being?

@青： your point being 你想说什么啊。

Look, I know eight weeks isn't a lot of time to get this ready, but I get the feeling you're the kind of guy that does better when there's a fire lit under his ass.
