2013-07-02来源:和谐英语

Elizabeth: You're full of it!

Leo: I'm telling you the God's honest truth. Why would I eat the last piece of cake when I know that you had your heart set on it?

Elizabeth: That's the question, isn't it? Why would you go behind my back and eat it, and then try to put one over on me?

Leo: Would I be able to look you in the eye if I were lying? Look at me. I'm the picture of Honest Abe.

Elizabeth: Do you expect me to believe that?

Leo: There's not a dishonest bone in my body. I may tell a white lie here and there, but I would never try to tell you a bald-faced lie like this.

Elizabeth: Oh, really? Do you swear?

Leo: I swear that I didn't eat the last piece of cake.

Elizabeth: There's something fishy about the way you said that.

Leo: I don't know what you mean.

Elizabeth: You didn't eat the last piece of cake, but you know who did.

Leo: I'm pleading the Fifth.

Elizabeth: Spill it, Abe!

Leo: Not on your life!
