今日は映画『Erin Brockovich』を見ました。もちろん英語字幕付きです。↑押すと文字が変わるエンピツ投票ボタンこの映画、大好きなシーンがあります。仕事が忙しくなって、３人の子供たちを無職の恋人ジョージに任せっきりにしてしまうシングルマザーのエリンが別れ話をするところです。「仕事を替えろ」と言うジョージに対して、エリンはこう答えます。Erin：How can you ask me to do that? This job... For the first time in my life, I got people respecting me. Up in Hinkley, I walk into a room and everybody shouts up ... to hear If I got something to say. I never had that before, ever. Please, don't ask me to give it up.George：What about what your kids are giving up?Erin：I'm doing more for my kids now than I did living with my parents. One day, they'll understand that.George：What about me?Erin：What about you? You think either one of the men who gave me those children... asked me what I wanted before he walked away? All I've ever done is bend my life around what men decide they need. Well, not now. I'm sorry. I won't do it.「私も頑張ろう！ あきらめないぞ！」と元気をもらえる映画です。まだ見ていない方はぜひ！ちなみに実話だそうですよ。
