- What are you doing? You're talking to me while you're exercising? - No, I'm just watching it. I have this subdural hematoma thing due Friday. I'm trying to finish it before we go out tonight.
- Out? You two? Where?
- Dinner at Burt's parents'.
- Ooh! They must be out-of-their-minds excited.
- Yeah, you know them.
- I think they're probably happy to be the only set of grandparents and have the baby to themselves.
- Don't say that. You're lucky to have them so close.
- I know, I know. We're gonna lean pretty hard on them.

【台词翻译】
- 你在干嘛呢？边做操边给我打电话啊？
- 没有，我只是看看而已。我周五之前得画好这个什么硬脑膜下血肿，我准备晚上咱出门之前搞定。
- 出去？你们俩么？到哪儿去？
- 到伯特父母家吃饭。
- 哦，他们准了。
- 是啊，你知道哦他们的。我有时候像他们这么高兴是因为他们是这孩子的唯一祖父母，他们就好占为己有了。-
- 别这么说。他们这么近你应该觉得自己运气好。
- 明白明白，回头只得好好依赖他们了。
【口语讲解】out of one's mind
out of one's mind 可以作为形容词组，表示疯狂、抓狂，或者暂时的情绪不稳定。这里则是作为副词，修饰excited 激动兴奋的程度，照着字面的意思理解成兴奋过头倒是很贴切哦。
