We're finally here! This private room is really nice, let's hurry up and start singing.
M
好啊，那第一首歌当然得我先唱。
hǎo a, nà dì yī shǒu gē dāngrán děi wǒ xiān chàng.
Sure, but the first song obviously has to be mine to sing first.
L
凭什么你先唱？这个房间可是我订的。
píng shénme nǐ xiān chàng? zhège fángjiān kěshì wǒ dìng de.
Why do you get to sing first? I'm the one who booked this room.
M
可是我今天心情特别好，就让我先唱一首嘛。
kěshì wǒ jīntiān xīnqíng tèbié hǎo, jiù ràng wǒ xiān chàng yì shǒu ma.
But I'm in a really good mood today, so just let me sing one first, come on.
L
不行不行，你每次都抢麦克风，今天轮到我了。
bùxíng bùxíng, nǐ měi cì dōu qiǎng màikèfēng, jīntiān lún dào wǒ le.
No way, you grab the mic every time; today it's my turn.
M
哈哈，那我们来猜拳，谁赢谁先唱，怎么样？
hāhā, nà wǒmen lái cāiquán, shéi yíng shéi xiān chàng, zěnmeyàng?
Haha, then let's play rock-paper-scissors; whoever wins sings first, how about that?
L
行，就这么定了！你可别耍赖啊。
xíng, jiù zhème dìng le! nǐ kě bié shuǎlài a.
Fine, it's settled then! But don't you dare cheat.
M
我才不耍赖呢！来，石头、剪刀、布！
wǒ cái bù shuǎlài ne! lái, shítou, jiǎndāo, bù!
I would never cheat! Come on—rock, paper, scissors!
L
哈！我出石头，你出剪刀，我赢了！
hā! wǒ chū shítou, nǐ chū jiǎndāo, wǒ yíng le!
Ha! I threw rock, you threw scissors—I won!
M
好吧好吧，算你厉害，那你先唱吧。
hǎo ba hǎo ba, suàn nǐ lìhai, nà nǐ xiān chàng ba.
Fine, fine, you win—consider yourself impressive, so you sing first.
L
别不高兴嘛，第二首我给你点一首你最爱的。
bié bù gāoxìng ma, dì èr shǒu wǒ gěi nǐ diǎn yì shǒu nǐ zuì ài de.
Don't be upset, come on—for the second song I'll pick your favorite for you.
M
这还差不多，那你快点唱，别浪费时间了！
zhè hái chàbùduō, nà nǐ kuài diǎn chàng, bié làngfèi shíjiān le!
Now that's more like it—so hurry up and sing, don't waste any more time!
