[0:00 cart wheel squeaking]

原声 Man over PA: Welcome to the store. Are you a Busy Beaver?

Otto: (talks to himself) No, I am not a Busy Beaver.

原声 Man over PA: Are you a Frequent Beaver? Join our rewards club for savings.You can get your teeth into our dam good deals.

[0:23 Otto pulls ropes, grunting]

Man over PA: Don’t forget; If you need help, ask a Beaver.

SA： Oh. Hey. Oh. Can I, uh, help you with that, sir?

Otto: Do you think I don’t know how to cut rope?

SA: No, it’s just we usually do that for ya.

Otto: Do you think I’m gonna cut myself and bleed all over your floor and sue you?

SA: No.

Otto: Then I don’t need your help.

SA: Have an excellent day.

[0:56 cuts rope]

Man over PA: I’m a Busy Beaver.

Otto: Idiot.

[1:01 scanner beeps]

SA: Did you, um, find everything you were lookin’ for today?

Otto: Yes.

SA:Good. （不用卡typing音效，接着念就ok）Let’s see here, Sir your total is 3.47.

Otto: You charged me for 6 feet of rope.

SA: Oh, yes, it’s 99¢ a yard.

Otto: I didn’t get 2 yards. I got 5 feet.

SA: Yeah, we don’t charge by the foot. We charge by the yard.

Otto: 99¢ a yard is 33¢ a foot, times 5, that’s 1.65. You charged me $1.98.

SA: [chuckles] You’re good at math. Um…No, I know, but I can’t put it into the computer the way that you just said.

Otto: What the hell kind of computer can’t do simple math? Can I speak to your manager?

SA: He’s at lunch.

Otto: Lunch. All anyone cares about these days is lunch.Is there anyone else in charge?

SA: You want the assistant manager?

Otto: Yes, I’d like the assistant manager.

SA: ‘Kay.

[2:00 嘟嘟声]

SA:（混响）Hey, Taylor? Taylor? To the front register.

AM: Hey Taylor What’s up?

Otto: This is the assistant manager? How old is she? Shouldn’t you be in gym class?

AM: Sorry, what?

Man:  Here. I got some change. Let me cover that extra 33¢ for you.

Otto: Sir, I do not want your 33¢. And this is not about 33¢. This is about the fact that I got 5 feet of rope because I want 5 feet of rope. And I shouldn’t have to pay for 6 feet of rope if I don’t want 6 feet.

[2:36 Next day. 音乐起入]

Voiceover：Otto wakes up and goes for his rounds around the neighbourhood, rectifying the mistakes his neighbours made (直接入）.

Otto: [2:47 Otto 推脚踏车] That bike goes over here.

Malcolm: Hey! What the hell? That’s mine.

Otto: It belongs in the bike rack.

Malcolm: I was only gone half a minute.

Otto: Next time, I’ll lock it up in the lost and found. 

Malcolm: Grumpy old bastard. Jeez.

[3:10 bark twice]

Otto: Don’t you dare let that little rat dog piss on my walkway again. I know it was you.

Neighbour: Ignore him, Prince. He’s a nasty, bitter old man. And he has no idea who’s doing that.

Otto: Well, it was one of you. And tell that useless boyfriend of yours to stop stretching his groin in public.

Otto: (muttering) Looks like a 14 year old Romanian gymnast, for God’s sakes.

[3:40 meow]

Otto: (chasing the cat away) Go on. Get outta here. Go.

[3:44 meow]

[indistinct chatter, machinery beeping 同入]

Voiceover：Otto went to work after his morning rounds, upon opening the door to the office, he was welcomed by his coworkers and manager.

[4:08 开门声]

Manager: There he is, the big man himself.

[4:13 clap clap]

Otto: What’s all this?

Manager: It’s, well, retirement cake, I guess. Call it what you like.

Otto: (reads) Have fun. (scoffs) Have fun. Doing what?

Manager: Have fun with the rest of your life. We wanted to, you know…

Otto: Celebrate?

Manager: Yes! Well, no.Give you a nice sendoff.

Otto: Nice.

Manager: Come on, Otto. You’re the one who decided to leave. And you did get a nice severance package.

Otto: You took me off Operations. You cut back on my hours. You made Terry, who I trained, my supervisor. Terry, who can barely figure out what year it is without his phone. So, yes, I took the severance package.

Manager: I’m sorry you see it that way. We all had to adjust after the merger. But you’ve been quite an asset to this company over the years, so

原声: To Otto! To Otto! To Otto.

[5: 13 ringing]

Voiceover：Otto decided to cut off his utilities and hang himself in his living room, but is disrupted by a family moving into the neighbourhood.

[5: 25 woman speaking in Spanish outside]

原声：.....You’re in the blind spot, be careful.

Otto: (groans) Ohh

[5:39 Marisol continued giving instructions. ]

Otto: What the hell is he doing? [Marisol 入] Hey, you can’t just drive here.

Marisol:  Yes! Exactly! That’s exactly what I was saying.

[5:48 crash]

Marisol: I’m not driving. Am I driving the car? No.

Otto: You can’t just bring a car on this street without a permit.

Tommy: No, we have a parking permit. Right here. See?

Otto: What the hell’s it doing in your pocket?!

Tommy: Well, I’m the driver and we’re renting here.  I was, uh, parallel parking.

Otto: Parallel to what?

Tommy: Yeah, that, uh, didn’t go so well, huh? I’ll just give it another try.

[6:26 Tommy tried again, causing another crash]

Otto：Stop! Stop. Get outta the car. [音效：engine turns off] Get outta the car.

Tommy：I’m sorry.

Otto: How you could make it this far through life without knowing how to back up a trailer.My God, a dog with one front paw and cataracts coulda done better than that. And an automatic, of course. Give me the keys.

[6:51 Engine starts, Otto did the parking in one go + car door closes]

Otto: Anyone who thinks they need to use radar to back up a car shouldn’t be allowed to drive one. They shouldn’t be allowed to use the radio.

Marisol and Tommy: Okay Okay

Otto: And the permit goes on the rearview mirror. Not in your pocket! (muttering)Idiots!

[7:16 door closes - Otto goes back into his house]

Voiceover：The utilities at Otto’s house were cut off, the lights could not switch on. Otto began to turn up the blinds only to remember that his rope still hung from the ceiling. He sat down, closed his eyes and fell into a reverie.

[7:37 Otto sat down]

Sonya: (混响) How much more shelf space is left?

Young Otto: (混响) Three shelves. How many more boxes of books do you have?

Sonya: (混响)  Seven or eight.

Otto: Then I’ll build you another bookcase.

Voiceover：[7:49 knocking on door] A rapid knock on the door jolted Otto out of his reverie.

Marisol: Hi.

Tommy: Hey.

Marisol: We just, uh…We wanted to properly introduce ourselves because we’re gonna be neighbours and everything, so…

Otto: So…

Marisol: My name is Marisol.

Tommy: And I’m Tommy.

Otto: Otto.

Marisol: Are you always this unfriendly?

Otto: I’m not unfriendly.

Marisol: I’d say you’re a little unfriendly. Un poquito.

Otto: I am not.

Marisol: (sarcastically) No? Okay, you’re not. No, no, no. You’re not unfriendly. Every word you say is like a warm cuddle. It really is.

Otto: Okay, well, I have some things I need to do.

Tommy: Excuse me, Mr Otto. You wouldn’t have an Alvin wrench I could borrow, would you?

Otto: (8:43 opens drawer) You mean Allen wrench. Do you know what size you need?

Tommy: Ah, just the usual size. 

Otto: (8:53 hands over wrench). Take the set.

Marisol: Thank you.

[8:59 转场]

Voiceover: Otto tried to hang himself again. Otto kicked the chair away and he began to lose his breath. Otto's thoughts drifted away 

[火车声过度一下， 去喝口水 ]

原声 Otto’s dad: Isn’t she beautiful, son? That’s a Chevy engine for you. Dependable. Not enough you can depend on in this world.

原声 Sonya:  Dad, this is Otto. 

[music intensifies]

原声 Sonya: That’s enough now, darling.

[9:38 重击声]

Voiceover: The screw hook broke and Otto fell to the floor coughing and gasping for air. Otto’s eyes fell to the newspaper laid out in front of him, a sale for flowers.

Otto: （cough）Huh. Two for $8?

[9:57 转场] 

Voiceover: Otto went to the cemetery with two bouquets of flowers, sitting down in front of Sonya’s grave.

Otto: Found some of the flowers you like. Pink. (grunts) There was a deal on ’em. On sale. Two for 8 bucks. I’m sorry I didn’t get ’em here earlier. Got distracted. By some new neighbours. Nitwit husband. Didn’t even know an Allen wrench from one of the Chipmunks.

Otto: Renters, of course. No commitment to anything. I know, I know. Maybe they can’t afford to buy yet. But what will they do when those real estate bastards decide to tear down their house and put up more of those ricky ticky condos, huh? It’s gonna happen. I promise you. They’re already driving around the gates, driving right across the grass. (sighs)
