Tim: You know what people say... “Never mix friends and politics.”
Lee: No kidding. She finally found out we voted for the DPP. She flipped!
Tim: Is that really a good reason to move out?
Lee: She's deep, deep blue. Her family's all KMT.
Tim: If she's deep blue, you're what? Light green? Haha.
Lee: Exactly. Anyway, it's fine. We were getting sick of her screaming at the TV all the time.
Tim: So no big loss. Hopefully she's happier with her parents, right?
Lee: Who knows? They're thinking about leaving Taiwan!
Tim: Just like I left the U.S. when Bush got elected. Some things are the same everywhere.

提姆：所以有人说……‘朋友跟政治别混为一谈。
李：的确。她终于发现我们投的是民进党。她突然就发飙了！
提姆：那真的是搬出去的好理由吗？
李：她非常非常深蓝。她家的人都是国民党。
提姆：如果她是深蓝，你是什么？浅绿吗？哈哈。
李：正是。反正，也好。我们也受不了她老是对着电视大呼小叫了。
提姆：所以没什么大损失啰。希望她跟父母在一起会快乐一点，对吧？
李：谁知道？他们正考虑离开台湾！
提姆:就跟布什当选我就离开美国一样。有些事到哪儿都不会变。
重点解说：
★ DPP = Democratic Progressive Party 民进党，KMT = Kuomintang 国民党
★ loss (n.) 损失
★ No kidding.一点也没错。表示赞同对方的话
★ flip (v.) 突然大发脾气
