Dr. Cockroach Ph.D.: Perhaps, my 9)finned friend. But for some of us, all hallows eve is more trick than treat.(reminisces about the past) I was but a 10)lad.

蟑螂博士：或許你說(shuō)得對(duì)，長(zhǎng)鰭的朋友。但是對(duì)于某些人來(lái)說(shuō)，萬(wàn)圣節(jié)前夜的回憶痛苦多于甜蜜。（回憶過去）那時(shí)我還小，腦子里只有粒子物理學(xué)和糖果，甜甜的糖果。未來(lái)的人生一片光明美好，直到……“我的波板糖！”（譯者注：蟑螂博士小時(shí)候曾在萬(wàn)圣節(jié)前夜被人搶去糖果，并被扔進(jìn)垃圾桶里，因此對(duì)萬(wàn)圣節(jié)充滿痛苦的回憶。）自那黑暗的一夜之后，萬(wàn)圣節(jié)對(duì)我來(lái)說(shuō)變得毫無(wú)意義，永遠(yuǎn)都是。

猴魚：你知道嗎，我想立馬把你扔進(jìn)垃圾桶里。

蘇珊：振作點(diǎn)，伙計(jì)們，如你們所說(shuō)，這是我們的夜晚，對(duì)嗎？所以我們出去找點(diǎn)樂子吧！

瘋狂將軍：沒得找樂子了，伙計(jì)們！今天不準(zhǔn)外出，重復(fù)一遍，萬(wàn)圣節(jié)不準(zhǔn)外出！

蟑螂博士：遵命！
