2.
Jenny: Hey, Eric! Okay, guess what? Jonathan and I decided that tonight we are gonna have an Edith Head film festival.

Edith Head(October 28, 1897 – October 24, 1981) was an American costume designer who had a long career in Hollywood that garnered eight Academy Awards—more than any other woman in history. 她与Hitchcock合作过很多次，所以Jonathan会说Same difference, 一样啦，没差别。

I'm a little out of it: 我有点走神，心不在焉
point blank: 1. right here, right now, in your face and/or in your ear. Used when someone is trying to prove a point. 直截了当 e.g. She gave him a point blank refusal. 她断然拒绝了他。2. the closest distance between anything that's good and bad. 近距离 e.g. He shot her at a point blank range.
