Cam： Hey Lady！ What do you think you’re doing？ You just 1）rammed my baby with your SUV！
Cheryl： Your baby？ You have a baby on board？
Cam： No. My baby is my Pontiac. But I do have some witnesses who saw the whole thing， and they’ll back up what happened.
Cheryl： But I didn’t do anything， and I actually do have a young child in the car with me， who is late for a doctor’s appointment. So， if you don’t mind…
Cam： ①If you think you’re getting away with this， you’re sorely mistaken. Look at my 2）fender！ It’s hanging by a thread. And now my neck is starting to seize up. I probably have 3）whiplash because of your reckless driving.
Cheryl： I’m not the one who’s reckless， you are！ You cut me off， with your beat-up hunk of junk. ②I did all I could do to avoid you， and I barely even tapped you， if at all.
Cam： Ow， my neck. Hey fellas！ Call Dr. Quackenbush， and a tow-truck and the best lawyer in town right away！
Cheryl： Hold on now. This is ridiculous. If I hit you so hard， why was there no damage to my car. Not even a scratch. It doesn’t make sense.
Cam： No. what doesn’t make sense is how you ever managed to get a license in the first place. Who’d you have to 4）snuggle up with to get that？
Cheryl： How dare you！ I’m gonna take pictures of the whole area， as proof that you were the 5）negligent party， because I know I’m not at fault. I have a perfect driving record and full points on my license. But I’d love to see how 6）squeaky clean your record is. I bet you’ve got a handful of 7）DUIs to go with attempted fraud and 8）extortion. Cam： You think you know me lady？ ③You don’t know jack. I served my time. And now you’re gonna have to pay the piper， or else…
Cheryl： Oh， don’t worry. I know the old “broken vase 9）tactic，” blaming me for damage that was already done. So not only am I cataloging the whole scene of the accident， I also just recorded you threatening me. I’m sure the judge will love to hear about some money-grubbing jerk threatening a single mother on her way to the doctor. Let me just phone the police now and tell them the whole story…
Cam： You think you’re so tough， huh？ You better hope we never meet again.
Cheryl： Or what？ If you think you can just take advantage of innocent people like this， then you’ve got another thing coming. I’m on to you and your gang over there. You won’t get away with this…
卡姆：嘿，女士！你认为自己在做什么？你的越野车刚才撞到我的宝宝了！谢莉尔：你的宝宝？你车上有宝宝吗？卡姆：没有。我的宝宝就是我的庞蒂亚克车。但我有一些目击证人，他们看到了整个事故的过程，他们会证明发生了什么事。
谢莉尔：但是我什么也没做呀，而我的车上确实有个小孩子，他看医生要迟到了。所以，如果你不介意……
卡姆：如果你想侥幸逃脱，那你就大错特错了。你看看我的挡泥板，眼看就要脱落了。现在我的脖子开始无法转动，由于你的鲁莽驾驶，我的脖子可能扭伤了。
谢莉尔：鲁莽驾驶的不是我，是你！你用那残旧不堪的大块头垃圾车切断我的去路。我竭尽所能避开你，就算真有碰擦，也是相当轻微。
卡姆：啊唷，我的脖子。嘿，兄弟们！马上打电话给夸肯布什医生，还有叫拖车，请镇上最好的律师！
谢莉尔：等一下。真荒谬。如果我猛烈地撞了你，为什么我的车完好无损，连划痕都没有。完全没道理。
卡姆：不对。首先毫无道理的是你如何拿到驾驶证的。你是依靠谁得到的？
谢莉尔：你真是胆大妄为！我要把整个事发现场拍下来，证明你才是疏忽的一方，因为我知道我没有过错。我有良好的驾驶纪录，我的驾驶证也是满分的。但我倒要看看你的纪录有多干净，我敢肯定你已经屡次酒后驾驶，并且企图诈骗和蓄意勒索。卡姆：你以为你了解我吗，女士？你什么都不知道。我坐过牢，现在你要自食其果了，要不然……
谢莉尔：哦，别担心。我知道碰瓷的老招式，把预先制造好的破坏赖到我头上。所以我不但将要把整个事发场景记下来，而且刚才还把你威胁我的话也录了下来。我相信法官会乐意听到一群抢钱的混蛋，威胁一个前往医生诊所路上的单身妈妈。我现在就打电话给警察，告诉他们整件事情……
卡姆：你认为自己很强硬，是吗？你最好希望我们后会无期。
谢莉尔：不然会怎样？如果你认为你可以这样欺负无辜的人，那你就有麻烦了。我知道你和你同伙的意图，你们逃不掉了……
