警官肖恩（Sean）为了换取情报，勉强同意了上司的建议，秘密地做了变脸手术，冒充匪徒首领，进入监狱接近知情人。真正的匪首却在医院意外醒来，杀死了所有知道此事的警官和医生，冒充肖恩坐镇警局。肖恩越狱之后找到自己的妻子，告诉她真相。妻子依芙（Eve）也不相信他，肖恩无奈之下，回忆起他们一次约会的情景，昔日甜蜜的爱情场景竟成了今天验明正身的关键——

　　S: I was hoping you'd come here. Thank you for trusting me.
　　E: Right now I don't trust anyone.
　　S: Eve, where'd you get that gun?
　　E: I took it from my fake husband.
　　S: Put it down. You know I'm Sean.
　　E: Do I? Maybe Sean's already dead, huh?
　　S: I'm moving very slowly. ... I was thinking the other day, I remember. I once took a date out, for surf and turf, not knowing she was vegetarian. So she ate bread. And, uh, and broke her tooth on a rye seed. And we, we drove around all night, looking for a all-night dentist. And he, he was drunk. He fixed the wrong tooth. And it, when I finally brought her home, even though it must have hurt like hell, you kissed me.

重点讲解

　　夜晚，依芙偷偷跑到医院化验她假丈夫的血型，想验证肖恩是否说的是真话。因为做了变脸手术的人虽然能够改变声音，但是不会改变血型。当结果刚刚出来的时候，肖恩出现在化验室的门口，他说，谢谢依芙肯相信他。面对仍然将信将疑的妻子，肖恩流着眼泪开始讲述那次难忘的约会经历。

　　他说，想起那次出去约会，去吃牛排，但不知道那个女孩是个素食者。名词date，约会，surf and turf这里指一种牛排套餐。素食者、食草动物都用名词vegetarian。

　　肖恩接着说，所以她只能吃面包，结果被里面夹的黑麦粒（rye seed）咯坏了牙（break tooth）。他们不得不整夜开车去找牙医（dentist），而且是上夜班的牙医。这里要注意这个表达，上夜班的、夜里也营业的：all-night。

　　倒霉的是，好不容易找到了牙医，却是个酒鬼医生，迷迷糊糊中补错了牙（补牙，fix the tooth）。最终他们一起回到家的时候，肖恩半是幸福半是辛酸地说，虽然牙疼得见鬼，你还是吻了我。
