A man rushes in, and people turn to look at him

Taylor: [Whispers] Sorry! Excuse me! [sees Holly and Yi-jun] I got your message.
Holly: [Surprised] Taylor? Taylor! Is this a joke? Is it really you? But…but… everyone said you were dead! [starts crying]
Taylor: [Holds Holly] That’s OK. Just let it out. I’m OK! I was out of town with…Femi.
Holly: Oh, Taylor! I’m so…so happy. But then…[points to the front] who’s that?
Taylor: Taylor Smith. But not me. The pallbearers are carrying out the casket. It would be rude to just leave. Let’s follow.

荷莉：（惊讶）泰勒？泰勒！这是开玩笑吗？这真的是你吗？可是……但是……大家都说你死了！（开始哭）
泰勒：（抱住荷莉）没关系。就哭出来吧。我没事！我之前是和……费咪一起出去玩了。
荷莉：喔，泰勒！我真的是太……太高兴了。不过……（指向前方）那是谁啊？
泰勒：泰勒史密斯。不过不是我。扶棺人在抬棺木了。离开会很失礼。我们跟着走吧。

At Wells Church

Yi-jun: [Whispering] Oh, no. It looks like we’re late.
Holly: Let’s just sit in the back. We can still hear the service from here.
Yi-jun: There’re so many people here. Where are Rich and Cath and Taylor’s parents?
Holly:They’re probably up front. The preacher’s about to speak. Let’s listen.

荷莉： 他们或许在最前面。牧师要致词了。我们听吧。
怡君： （在牧师的悼词之后）那篇致词真是感人。他一定跟泰勒很熟。
荷莉： 喔，我只希望这一切从没发生过！

Late that night, Holly calls Taylor’s answering machine

Holly: Taylor, I don’t know if I’ll speak tomorrow, and I had to let you know how I feel. You are my best friend. My life will never be the same without your smile to light my day. [starts crying]
Yi-jun: Don’t hang up, Holly. Keep talking.
Holly: You will always be with me in my heart. When I have a hard day, I’ll think of how you could always make me laugh. There is so much more I want to say to you. Words fail to express all of my emotions. So, I’ll say goodbye to you tomorrow at Wells Church….

怡君： 别挂断，荷莉。继续说。
荷莉： 你永远在我心里。当我难过的时候，我会记得你是怎么逗我开心的。我还有好多话想告诉你。话语却无法尽诉我的心情。所以，我明天要到威尔斯教堂跟你道别……
怡君： 说得真美，荷莉。
