小雨：他不想一个人在家。他也想去上海！He didn't want to stay home alone. He wants to go to Shanghai too!

大卫：我的包子呢？……包子，你吃了我的包子！Where's my bun? ...Baozi, you ate my bun!

小林：哈哈！那个包子的发票，你还要吗？Haha! Do you still want the receipt for that bun?

小雨：怎么办？猫不能坐火车！What do we do? Cats aren't allowed on trains!

小林：反正火车已经开了！Well, the train's already moving anyway!
