Zina: Of course.
吉娜: 当然。
Dave: How can you be so sure? Do you know something I don't?

吉娜: 我有对付“网路搜寻家”的计划。第一步就是拿到Stars.com的合约。
Dave: What's step two?
戴夫: 那第二步是什么?
Zina: Don't worry about that, Dave. Look, I have to see Vince now. Think about what I said.

【Do you know something I don't? 你是不是知道什么隐情?】
要向对方打听秘密的说词很多种,直接的办法如Tell me the secret 或Let me know what you have found out 等等。但比较婉转的似比较好,上面对话中的Do you know something I don't? 就是不错的说词,这句话的意思是Do you know something I don't know?
