But, white leather?Elle:If the law is what’s keeping Bruiser’smother locked up, I shouldn’t be fighting it, I should be changing it. Everybody, I’m gonna make animal testing for cosmetics illegal.Paulette: I know that making a dog wear 24)mascara and25)blush is wrong but I...Elle:This isn’t just about Bruiser’s mom anymore, this is about the fact that every day that I put on my Gold Goddess 26)luminescent blush, some poor little innocent animal might be suffering for it.

Is it difficult to see with your head in the minority30)whip’s 31)lap?Grace: It was a distinguished gentleman from Iowa, his wife had recently left him and we just talked.Timothy: Right, right. Cause you know if you did visit his district you should have at least got some actual legislation out there.Grace: Well, how would you ev en know, Timothy, when you’re busy chasing around interns on a skateboard?Elle: Excuse me. Who wants to talk animal testing?Timothy: Write a bill,32)Britney.(They quarrel fiercely.)Elle(singing): Gather you round, friends and foes together, united and bound, pass it to your neighbour instead of blowing up, and we’ll find harmony and love in the, 33)snap cup.SCENE 5Elle: When was the last time you wore the yellow T-rose?Libby: I’m sorry what did you just...Elle: When was the last time you wore your yellow T-rose?Libby: On the night of my initiation.Elle:Wasn’t the passing of the secret scented eternal flame of the goddess 34)Delta Nu not the most moving experience?Libby: Especially the part where we...Elle and Libby: Sipped from the secret pink chalice of sisterhood.Libby: Libby Hauser, Texas.

But he’s totally letter-worthy.Libby: But how is DC Elle-worthy?Elle:I’m here to speak for those that can’t speak for themselves.Libby: Huh! How interesting.Elle: Actually it’s more than interesting Libby, it’s practical. Strictly a numbers game as far as you’re concern ed: 125,468, number of people in your district with dog licences; 12,762, the number of unemployed scientists with the skills to develop alternatives to animal testing; and finally, 6285, the ID number of my dog’s captive mother.Libby: Well, I’m not sure I followed all that, but you got my attention.SCENE 6Elle: Representative Kroft. That lip-gloss looks absolutely sensational on you. Kroft:I’m sorry. What?Elle: It’s raspberry macaroon No. 156, company shall remain nameless, is that correct?Kroft: Well, yes, yes. But how did you...Elle: What if I told you Representative Kroft that you owe that special bounce in your step, the one that only comes from finding the perfect lipstick, to the pain and suffering of innocent animals. What if I was to tell you Congresswoman Madeline Malony Kroft, that you owe your raspberry macaroon, to him. (Elle holds Bruiser on the desk.)My best friend, Bruiser. How many times has he acted on my behalf? Countless. But today, I get the opportunity to speak for him. Who do you speak for?Congressman Fuchs, the next time that you reach for your overnight moisturizing gloves, by the way, it’s nothing to be ashamed about, more men should use them, consider asking yourself what you’re willing to sacrifice in the name of beauty and soft 36)cuticles. Are you willing to sacrifice animal welfare? Or how about just say the welfare of one animal? Like Jelly, your childhood pal, that striking retriever black-lab mix.Fuchs: You uh, know about Jelly?Elle: When all the other children refused to play Lone Ranger with you, who was it that was always your 37)Tonto?Fuchs: Jelly Billy.Elle: Mr. Chairman, when you look in those snap-worthy 38)almond eyes of your 39)rottweiler Lesley, does it not make your heart glow with warmth?Chairman: Uh, all due respect Miss Woods, I wouldn’f go that far, ha ha.Elle: But when he learned to differentiate between seven different kinds of pipes and fetch each one on command, did you not swear to protect him with everyshotgun in your charming little 40)amm unition’s case?Chairman:It wouldn’t come to that. This is a dog we’re talking about, Lesley’s a dog.Elle: But if you could speak for Lesley, what would you say? What would Lesley want you to say for him, Mr. Chairman? Stan?Chairman: Oh, to hell with it! My rottweiler Les is of the homosexual orientation. There I’ve said it, I’m out. My name is Stan Marks, I’m a Conservative Republican, NRA spokesman, and my dog is gay. And guess what? I couldn’t be prouder of the little flame. I don’t care how good my hair looks slicked back with some high dollar 41)Palmate, just one long stare into that sweet 42)sissy dog’s eyes and I know, no cosmetic could ever be worth it!All: Bruiser’s Bill.SCENE 7“See one day I came to Washington to help my dog Bruiser and, so mewhere along the way I learned a really unexpected lesson. I know what you’re thinking. Who is this girl? And what could this simple, small town girl from 43)Bel Air have to say to all of us?Well, I’ll tell you. It’s about something that’s bigger than me, or any single act of legislation. This is about a matter that should be of the highest importance to every American, my hair.You see, there’s this salon in Beverly Hills, it’s really fancy and beautiful, but it’s impossible to get an appointment, I mea n unless you’re Julia Roberts or one of the girls from Friends, you can just forget it.But one day they called me, they had an opening. So I was gonna finally get the chance to sit in one of those sacred beauty chairs. I was so excited, then the colorist gave me brassy Bergeid instead of Harlow honey. The shampoo girl, washed my hair with spiral perm solution instead of color intensive moisturizing conditioning shampoo. Finally the stylist, gave me a 44)bob, with 45)bangs. Suffice to say it was just, wrong, all wrong, for me, you know.First I was angry, and then I realized, my anger was completely misdirected, I mean this wasn’t the salon’s fault. I had sat there and witnessed this injustice and I just let it happen. I didn’t get involved in the process. I forgot to use my voice. I forgot to believe in myself. But now I know better, I know that one honest voice can be louder than a crowd. I know that if we lose our voice, or if we let those that speak on our behalf, compromise our voice, well then this country, this country is in for a really bad haircut.So speak up, America. Speak up! Speak up for the home of the brave! Speak up for the land of the free gift with purchase. Speak up, America! Speak up! And remember, you are beautiful, thank you.”注释:1) high-end a. 有眼力的，有鉴赏力的2) Gap 盖普（童装店）3) Playmate《花花公子》4) tiara[ ] n. （用珠宝装饰的）妇女冕状头饰5) wedding shower 告别单身女子派对6) scrapbook [ ♦❒✌☐♌◆] n. （图片、剪报等的）剪贴本7) not worth a damn 一文不值8) LSAT全称是Law School Admissions Test 法学院入学考试9) Bend and Snap这是第一部影片里艾莉的奶奶在艾莉高中时教她的一种吸引男孩子注意力的方法,艾莉又将这个方法教给了她的好友们10) bust [♌✈♦♦] v. 使爆裂11) bruiser [ ♌❒◆☜] n. 彪形大汉，好斗的人。
