QUEENIE: "Teenie -- you brought men home?"

QUEENIE (unconcerned): "Oh, sure --"

The group enters the Goldstein apartment.

She runs her wand up the dummy and the dress runs magically up her body. Jacob watches the display, dumbfounded.
查看中文翻译
Blond Queenie, the most beautiful girl ever to don witches' robes, is standing in a silk slip, supervising the mending of a dress on a dressmaker's dummy. Jacob is thunderstruck.

INT. GOLDSTEIN RESIDENCE, SITTING ROOM -- DUSK
查看中文翻译
Tina, frustrated, starts tidying the apartment.
查看中文翻译
TINA: "Gentlemen, this is my sister. You want to put something on, Queenie?"
查看中文翻译
Although impoverished, the apartment is enlivened by workaday magic. An iron is working away on its own in a corner, and a clotheshorse revolves clumsily on its wooden legs in front of the fire, drying an assortment of underwear. Magazines are scattered around: The Witch's Friend, Witch Chat, and Transfiguration Today.

Newt barely notices. Impatient to leave as soon as possible, he starts peeking out the windows.
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE: "So, who are they?"

TINA: "He's sick -- it's a long story -- Mr. Scamander has lost something, I'm going to help him find it."
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE (suddenly worried): "A No-Maj? Teen -- what are you up to?"
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE (impressed): "He's a criminal?"
查看中文翻译
Newt is watching Queenie from his spot by the window, his scientific attention now aroused.
查看中文翻译
Jacob suddenly staggers, very sweaty and unwell. Queenie runs to him as Tina hovers, also worried.
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE (as Jacob falls back onto a sofa): "You need to sit down, honey. Hey --" (reading his mind) "And --" (reading his mind) "-- aw, that's rough," (reading his mind) "-- he didn't get the money he wanted for his bakery. You bake, honey? I love to cook."
查看中文翻译
TINA: "That's Mr. Scamander. He's committed a serious infraction of the National Statute of Secrecy --"
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE: "Uh-huh, yeah. But I always have trouble with your kind. Brits. It's the accent."
查看中文翻译
TINA: "-- uh-huh, and this is Mr. Kowalski, he's a No-Maj --"
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "You're a Legilimens?"
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE: "Aw, don't worry, honey. Most guys think what you was thinking, first time they see me."
查看中文翻译
JACOB (cottoning on, appalled): "You know how to read minds?"

QUEENIE (artless): "Hey, Mr. Scamander, you prefer pie or strudel?"
查看中文翻译
Tina stares at Newt: Confrontational, but also disappointed and hurt.
查看中文翻译
Tina and Queenie busy themselves in the kitchen. Ingredients come floating out of cupboards as Queenie enchants them into the components of a meal -- carrots and apples chop themselves, pastry rolls itself, and pans stir.
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE: "Now, you need food."
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE: "Not a very wholesome lunch."
查看中文翻译
Tina points her wand at the cupboards. Dishes, assorted cutlery, and glasses come flying out, setting themselves on the table with a little prodding from Tina's wand. Jacob, half-fascinated, half-terrified, staggers toward the table.
查看中文翻译
ANGLE ON NEWT, his hand on the doorknob.
查看中文翻译
TINA: "Don't read my mind!"
查看中文翻译
Newt looks out the window and sees a Billywig fly past -- he's nervous, impatient to get out and find his creatures.
查看中文翻译
All look at Newt, who, embarrassed, removes his hand from the doorknob.
查看中文翻译
NEWT: "I really don't have a preference."
查看中文翻译
QUEENIE (to Tina): "Hot dog… again?"
查看中文翻译
Queenie playfully gestures toward Jacob with her wand.

QUEENIE (reading Jacob's mind): "You prefer strudel, huh, honey? Strudel it is."
查看中文翻译
Jacob is already seated at the table, tucking his napkin into his shirt.
查看中文翻译
Jacob nods with excited enthusiasm. Queenie grins back, delighted.
查看中文翻译
With a flick of her wand, Queenie sends raisins, apples, and pastry flying into the air. The concoction neatly wraps itself up into a cylindrical pie, baking on the spot, complete with ornate decoration and a dusting of sugar. Jacob takes a deep breath in: Heaven.
查看中文翻译
Tina lights candles on the table -- the meal is ready.
查看中文翻译
FOCUS ON NEWT'S POCKET -- a small squeak, and Pickett pokes his head out, curious.
查看中文翻译
Newt, still hovering near the door, looks somewhat charmed by the situation. Jacob glares at him subtly, willing him to sit down.
查看中文翻译
TINA: "Well, sit down, Mr. Scamander, we're not going to poison you."
