Yang Li: 我们不想让所有人都知道这件事 we dont want every Tom, Dick and Harry knowing about it.
Kaz: Youve got it Li!

Make sure you send out invitations, otherwise youll have every Tom, Dick and Harry showing up at your party.
Whatever you do, dont tell Doug. He cant keep a secret and soon every Tom, Dick and Harry will know about it.
Yang Li: 汤姆、迪克和哈里这三个名字其实都是缩写,把一个较长的名字缩短了, 我知道 Tom 是 Thomas 的缩写,Harry 是 Harold 的缩写。But Kaz - whats Dick short for?
Kaz: Dick is short for Richard.
