Dialogue 对话：

　　Frank: I'm at the end of my rope, Helen; Cousin Charlie has got to go !

　　Helen : Now, Frank, try to simmer down. We can't tell him to clear out just like that.

　　F: I'm sorry, Helen, but for the last three weeks I've come home, after working all day, and there's dear Cousin Charlie, lounging around in my silk bathrobe, smoking my Havana cigars and drinking my Brandy; and I'm not going to put up with it any longer.

　　H: Yes, dear, I know how you feel. Frankly, I've never known such an utter slob like him before in nay life.

　　F: Well, I'd say it's time we had a showdown with that deadbeat cousin of yours, Helen.

　　H: Cousin of mine? What do you mean? He’s not my cousin! I thought he was your cousin !

　　F : What? And I thought he was your cousin!

　　H: So, just who is this Cousin Charlie, anyway ?

　　F: I don't know, Helen. But I'm afraid there's going to be a sudden death in his family very soon.
