大卫：对！真正的生活开始了。以后，我可以叫你“爱人”了！Yes! Real life starts now. And from now on, I can call you my "àiren" — my spouse!

小雨：“爱人”？只有我爸妈那样的老人才这么叫！"Àiren"? Only old folks like my mum and dad talk like that!

大卫：我喜欢嘛！晚安，爱人！I like it! Good night, my spouse!

小雨：晚安。……哎？床的中间被包子占了！Good night. ...Hey? Baozi's taken the middle of the bed!

大卫：包子，这是我和我爱人的床！你下来！Baozi, this bed belongs to me and my wife! Get down!

包子：喵。Meow.
