Sally is talking to her friends about how to find a boyfriend.

  • Sally : Sigh...It's been three months since Taka dumped me. Is there anyone out there for me?
    はぁ…タカに振られて三ヵ月経つ。誰かいい人いない?
  • Allie : How about Kei?
    ケイは?
  • Sally : Kei? As in your-subordinate-Kei? That Kei?
    ケイ?アリーの部下のケイ?あのケイ?
  • Allie : Yes. I think that he is two years younger than us. I'm not sure about his private life, but as far as I know he has a lot of potential to become successful.
    うん。私達より二歳若い。ケイの私生活は知らないけど、私の知る限り(彼は)有望だよ。
  • Sally : Okay...but isn't he busy, like, 24/7?
    いいけど、彼忙しいでしょ?
  • Jenny : Why don't we go out tonight? There are so many cute guys in clubs, bar...You just need to pick one.
    今夜出掛けない?クラブとかバーに、格好良い人いっぱいいるでしょ...選びなよ。
  • Sally : I'm not interested in one night stands. Hmm, don't you have anyone that you can hook me up with?
    ワンナイトに興味はないよ。んー、誰か(私に)紹介できる人いないの?
  • Jenny : Have you ever used any dating apps?
    出会い系アプリ、使ったことある?
  • Sally : No, never.
    ううん、一度も(使ったこと)ない。
  • Jenny : Okay, I'll show the app that I always use to meet nice guys. (She takes Sally's smartphone, downloads the app and creates an account)
    わかった、私がイケメンに会う為に使っているヤツ(=app)を見せてあげる。
