The story

奶奶：大卫，你说过：“明年春节，您来美国过年吧！”David, you said, "Next Spring Festival, come and spend New Year in America!"

大卫：我说过！可是，奶奶，那是五年以前……I did say that! But Grandma, that was five years ago...

奶奶：对。我已经等了五个明年了。Yes. I've already waited through five next years.

小雨：形势很清楚：大卫说过了。那你们要先申请签证，去美国大使馆。The situation is clear: David did say it. So you'll have to apply for visas first, at the American embassy.

爷爷：申请什么？去什么大使馆？我开车去！Apply for what? What embassy? I'll drive there!

大卫：春节的机票是什么价？What's the price of tickets at Spring Festival?

小雨：很高。这个价不会降低。你说过的，你付。High. That price won't come down. You said it, so you pay.

大卫：妈，奶奶和爷爷要来美国过年！Mom, Grandma and Grandpa are coming to America for New Year!
