在凌晨数小时内,当午后的天空阳光正烈,你总能找到一些事做。但从黄昏到黎明，当时钟滴答走，你四周会发生一些事情。在凌晨数小时内，当整个世界都在熟睡；你躺在床上醒着，空虚感阵阵袭来,干万．千万不要去想着数绵羊。 (in baltimore, annie fails to fall aleep. She gets up and goes to the kitchen to listen to the radio. There are review of dr. Marsha fieldstone's programme) （晚上，安妮无法入睡。她起床来到厨房；打开收音机，此时播放的是玛莎菲尔斯通医生的节目回顾。） Mc: welcome back to the best of dr. Marsha fieldstone, "clinical psychologist and the friend you've never had. Remember ^marooned in miami? 主持人：欢迎收听玛还菲尔斯通医生精彩节目展播，她是您所未见过的朋友和临床心理学家。还记得迈阿密伤心人吗？ Marooned in miami: he says he doesn't love me anymore. 迈阿密伤心人：他说他不再爱我。 Marsha: why would you want to be with someone who doesn't love you? 玛莎：为什么留恋一个不爱你的人。 
主持人：丹佛失望着。 Disappointed in denver: every time i come close to ^orgasm, he goes to make himself a sandwich. 丹佛失望者：每次我快到高潮时他就起身去做给自己做一份三明治。 Marsha: why don't you make him a sandwich beforehand? 主持人：你为什么不事先替他把三明治做好呢？ Mc: sleepless in seattle. 主持人：西雅图失眠人。 Sam: well, i'm going to get out of bed every morning, breathirin"andout'all day long. Then, after a while, i won't have to remind myself to get out of bed in the morning and breathe in and out. And, then, after a while, i won't have to think about how i had it great and perfect for a while. 萨姆：我打算每天清晨起床，整天呼吸，然后过不久，我就不必提醒自己清早起床、呼吸。然后过不久，我就不会常常想起我曾经一度拥有的幸福。 
玛莎：萨姆，告诉我你妻子到底有什么特别之处？ Sam: well, how long is your program? Well, it was a million tiny, little things that when you add them all up it just meant that we were supposed to be together. And i knew it. I knew it the very first time i touched her. It was like coming home, only to no home i'd ever known. I was just taking her hand to help her out of a car and i knew it. It was like...magic. 萨姆：你的节目有多长？许许多多的小事情串在一起，可显示我们是前生注定。我一早就知道。第一次触摸她时我就肯定。就像是回家，却是前所未知的家。当我牵她的手扶她下车时，我就知道，就像是……魔力。 (annie is crying.) （此时的安妮已是泪流满面。） (the next day annie goes to her brother dennis' office and wants to have a talk with him.) （第二天，安妮来到哥哥丹尼斯的办公室，向他倾诉苦恼。） Annie: well i think i'm going crazy, dennis. I really do. Are you happily married? 安妮：丹尼斯，我快疯了。是真的！你婚姻幸福吗？ 
丹尼斯：什么？ Annie: i mean, why did you get married? Was it all "trumpets and fireworks and... 安妮：我是说，你为什么结婚？结婚是不是就是音乐、烟花和…… Dennis: i got married because betsy said we had to break up or get married. So we got married. 丹尼斯：贝丝说不结唱就分手，所以我们就结婚了。 Annie: but when you first met her. Did you believe that she was the only person for you, that in some ^mystical, ^cosmic way it was fated? 安妮：但当你第一次遇见她时；你是否相信她就是你唯一想等的人？从直觉上感到像是命中注定要结合。 Dennis: annie, when you're attracted to someone it just means that your subconscious is attracted to their subconscious, subconsciously. So what we think of as fate, is just two ^neuroses knowing they're a perfect match. 丹尼斯：安妮；当你被某一个人吸引时那只是意味着你俩在潜意识里相互吸引。因此；所谓命运，就好比是两个疯子认为他们是天造一对地设一双。 
安妮（坐在钢琴上）：我甚至根本不认识他。我对一个住在西雅图的陌生人产生了这么多幻想。 Dennis: it rains 9 months of the year in seattle. 丹尼斯：西雅图一零下九个月雨。 Annie: i know, i know! I do not want to move to seattle! But what i really don't want to do is end up always wondering what might have happened and knowing i could have some something. What do you think? It's just ""cold feet, isn't it? Everybody panics before they get married, i mean, didn't you? 安妮：我知道，我知道！我不想搬去西雅图！但我更不愿做的是，我不想总是猜测会发生什么事而为此事抱憾终生。你说呢？这只是一种怯懦，是吗？我是说，每个人婚前都会紧张。你呢？ Dennis: yes, i did. 丹尼斯：是的我也是。 Annie: yes, you did. Thank you very much, dennis. I feel so much better just having blown this off. 安妮：是的；你也是。不感谢你了丹尼斯。说出来我舒服多了。 
丹尼斯：随时乐意洗耳恭听。 (annie opens the door and gets to leave.) （安妮开门离去。） (in seattle, sam and his friend jay are on their way to lunch. Jay is catching sam up on the modem "'etiquette of dating.) （西雅图，萨姆和朋友杰伊准备在外共进晚餐。杰伊正在做萨姆赶上时髦的约会礼仪。） Jay: sandy has a girlfriend, glenda. She's a weight lifter.

You say, "come on, let's get together, we'll look at ^'swatches." 杰伊：为什么？噢，不。你是说，怎么开口？打电话给她，就说"来吧，我们一块儿看看样本。”
