影片对白

Eduardo: Hey, what's going on?

Mark: Perfect timing¹. Eduardo's here and he's going to have the key ingredient.

Eduardo: Hey, Mark.

Mark: Wardo.

Eduardo: You and Erica split² up.

Mark: How did you know that?

Eduardo: It's on your blog.

Mark: Yeah.

Eduardo: Are you all right?

Mark: I need you.

Eduardo: I'm here for you.

Mark: No, I need the algorithm you use to rank chess players.

Eduardo: Are you okay?

Mark: We're ranking girls.

Eduardo: You mean other students.

Mark: Yeah.

Eduardo: You think this is such a good idea?

Mark: I need the algorithm.

Eduardo: Mark...

Mark: I need the algorithm.

Eduardo: Give each girl a base rating³ of 1400. At any given time Girl A has a rating R-a and Girl B has a rating R-b.

Mark: When any two girls are matched up, there's an expectation of which will win based on their current rating, right?

Eduardo: Yeah. And those expectations are expressed this way.

Mark: Let's write it.

Dustin: One on the left. The right. Yeah, still the right.

Eduardo: It works.

Dustin: Who should we send it to first?

Eduardo: Dwyer.

Chris: Neal.

Eduardo: Who are you gonna send it to?

Mark: Just a couple of people. The question is, who are they gonna send it to?

Boy 1: Hey, guys, check this out.

Boys: Someone go to the left. Dude, do left.

Boy 1: Look at these girls. Right or left?

Boys: Left is hot.

Boy 1: Left?

Boys: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Boy 1: Right or left?

Girl 1: That's my roommate.

Boy 2: Oh, my God. The girl on the left.

Girl 2: This is pathetic⁴.

Boys: Right. Left. Left. Left?

Erica's roommate: Oh, shit. Albright. He blogged about you. You don't wanna read it.

Boys: Left. Latina.

Boy 3: Erica. Is this yours? I stole it from a tranny.

Erica’s roommate: Get the hell out of here!

Boys: Left. One on the right. Left.

Eduardo: Man, that's an awful lot of traffic. You think maybe we shouldn't shut it down before we get into trouble?

Man 1: Hello? Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? At 4:00 in the morning?

Man 2: Well, there's a very unusual amount of traffic to the switch at Kirkland.

Man 1: You're saying it's unusual for 4:00 in the morning?

Man 2: No, this'd be unusual for halftime at the Super Bowl.

Man 1: All right. I gotta go in.

Man 1’s wife: What's going on?

Man 1: Harvard's network is about to crash.

Eduardo: You don't think...

Mark: I do.

Eduardo: Go see if it's everybody's.

Dustin: I can't connect. The network's down.

Eduardo: Unless it's a coincidence, I think this is us.

Mark: It's not a coincidence.

Eduardo: Holy shit.
