Kelly: Guess what day it is tomorrow!
Zach: Opening Day around baseball. I’ve been waiting all winter to see Matt Harvey 1)pitch again for the Mets. Kelly: No, I’m not talking about America’s 2)pastime. I mean the world’s prank time!
Zach: Oh, right. It’s that time again, isn’t it? ①Are you girls gonna be seeking revenge for how bad we got you last year?
Kelly: As a matter of fact, we’ve been planning our revenge since April 2nd last year. And I’m 100% confident that no matter how prepared you guys think you are, when it happens, you won’t know what hit you. Zach: Aww…It’s so cute that you think that. But you do realize that I am the 3)preeminent prank master here at Pennsylvania Polytechnic.
Kelly: I do realize that you think you are The Man when it comes to playing tricks, but your arrogance will be your 4)downfall young Jedi.
Zach: You think you can possibly top the oatmeal lake with a floating canoe in your bathroom? I will never forget your guys’ faces when that door opened and the opera started playing and the boat came rushing out into the 5)hallway. 6)Priceless.
Kelly: And who can forget the dead fish you hid under our sofa. We didn’t find that thing for weeks.
Zach: You ladies did get us with a couple of small ones, like the 7)lubed up 8)doorknobs, expired milk in the fridge…
Kelly: Yeah, but we were obviously 9)bested by the 10)almighty men of dorm D.
Zach: Well, we studied the best university party movies of all time, like Animal House, Van Wilder, Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. Those 11)flicks have endless material to draw from.
Kelly: Oh, I remember the Van Wilder one. Please don’t use that dog poop prank. It was so disgusting! I almost threw up when I saw that.
Zach: Yeah. That’s a line even we couldn’t cross, so don’t worry about it. As usual, the pranks will all be in good fun, with nothing too 12)meanspirited.
Kelly: That’s a deal!
Zach: Alright. I’ve gotta go finish up a paper for Hendricks’class tomorrow. ②I’ll see ya bright and early, and let the pranks begin! Bye!
Kelly: See ya tomorrow! (quietly) And your head will be a lot chillier, after you use your new shampoo with hair remover mixed in. Take that, you soon-to-be bald April Fool. ③I guess revenge is a dish best served cold…Hwahahahaha.

凯莉:猜猜明天是什么日子!
扎克:棒球赛的开幕式。我等了整整一个冬天就是为了看到马特·哈维再次为纽约大都会棒球队投球。 凯莉:不,我不是在说美国的消遣节目。我是说全世界的恶作剧时间。
扎克:噢,没错。愚人节又到了,不是吗?你们女生打算找机会报复我们去年对你们的使坏吗?
凯莉:事实上,我们从去年4月2日以来一直在筹划我们的复仇计划。而且无论你们男生认为自己做了多充足的准备,一旦事情发生,我百分之百肯定你们不会知道发生了什么。
扎克:啊……你那样想太可爱了,但你要意识到我是宾西法尼亚理工学院最厉害的恶作剧之王。
凯莉:我知道当说到玩恶作剧,你自认为自己是最厉害的,但是你的自大将是你垮台的原因,年轻的绝地武士(Jedi是电影《星球大战》中的虚幻角色)。
扎克:你以为你可能超越那个在你们的浴室形成的燕麦湖上漂浮着一条小船的恶作剧吗?当浴室门一打开,戏剧性的一幕上演了,那条小船冲出了走廊,我永远无法忘记你们脸上的神情。太搞笑了。
凯莉:而且谁能忘记你们藏在我们沙发底下的死鱼,我们几个星期都没发现。扎克:你们女生也确实用几个小恶作剧捉弄了我们,比如涂满润滑油的门把手、冰箱里过期的牛奶……
凯莉:没错,但我们明显被D宿舍的全能男生打败了。
扎克:嗯,我们研究过有史以来最好的大学群体恶作剧的电影,比如《动物屋》、《留级之王》和《寻堡奇遇》。那些电影有着取之不尽的素材。
凯莉:噢,我记得《留级之王》那部。请不要再玩那狗屎恶作剧了,太恶心了!我看的时候几乎要吐了。
扎克:是的。我们不会做得那么过分的,所以不用担心。跟往常一样,恶作剧就是为了好玩,不会有太卑鄙的行径。
凯莉:一言为定!
扎克:好的。我得去完成亨德里克斯明天课堂的论文。我们一大早见,然后开始玩恶作剧!再见!
凯莉:明天见!(悄悄地)等你用了混有脱发剂的新洗发水后,你的脑袋将会更加凉飕飕的。中我这一招,你很快就会成为愚人节秃子。我想君子报仇十年未晚……哈哈哈哈哈。
