Good afternoon. Please sit down. Now, about the coins…

Do you have our money?

下午好，请坐。现在谈谈硬币吧。

你有给我们的钱吗？

The museum wants the coins but we don't have enough money…

Why not?

I need more time. Can you come back tomorrow?

I can't get it. It's too difficult.

Try again, Kyle.

Jodi, I have the knife!

Well done, Kyle! Now, cut the rope.

我们的博物馆想要这些硬币，但是我们的钱不够……

为什么？

我需要多点时间准备，明天你能回来一趟吗？

我拿不到它。太难了。

再试试，凯尔。

我拿到了，朱迪！

做得好，凯尔！现在割断绳子。

I can't do it. The rope is too thick. The knife isn't sharp enough.

Press harder.

That's… That's it! We're free!

We must try to escape. Come on!

我割不断它。绳子太粗了。小刀不够锋利。

用力点！

好……好了，我们自由了！

我们必须设法逃出去。快！

Oh no! We can't get out!

Why? What's the matter?

The door is locked!

What can we do now?

We have to pick the lock. We need something small.

What about this coat hanger?

No, it's too big. Wait. Maybe I use my hairslide…

噢，不！我们出不去了！

为什么？怎么了？

门被锁上了！

我们现在该怎么办？

我们得把锁撬开。我们需要小一点的东西。

这个衣架怎么样？

不行，太大了。等一下，或许可以用我的发卡……
