So I'll cook and you wash up? Hmm, I've got your number; you're just going to watch TV all evening.

You can't fool me, I've got your number — you're never going to pay me back.

Feifei: OK Rob — if you say 'I've got your number' it means you understand what someone it trying to do or why they are behaving in a certain way.

菲菲：好，罗布，这个短语的意思是你知道某人打算做什么，或者是为什么他们会这样做。

罗布：听起来你之前在计划什么，不过可能我误会了你的意思。你不会把我一个人留在演播室的，对吧菲菲？菲菲？菲菲？哦，她已经走了。我把她的电话号码放在哪里了……再见。
