Richard: [He looks at his photographs.] I think I've got them.
Marilyn: You think you've got what?

Marilyn: [She looks at the photographs.] I think you have got it, Richard. Lincoln Center, home of the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet, the New York Philharmonic.
Richard: Shubert Alley center of the theater on Broadway.
Marilyn: And Carnegie Hall. And the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington.
Richard: And the Music Center in Los Angeles. And the others. I do have it all.
Marilyn: You have been working on this for some time, Richard. I'm glad you feel you've finally put it all together. What now?
Richard: Now for the hard part.
Marilyn: Oh, you think you're going to have a hard time getting the album published?
Richard: Well, it won't be easy.
【语言点精讲】

2. You think you've got what？

3. Performing arts - performing arts centers.
performing arts: 表演艺术。包括舞蹈、歌剧、戏剧、音乐方面的表演。
performing arts centers: 表演艺术中心。表演艺术中心。是能观看多种表演艺术的地方。
4. I think you have got it, Richard. Lincoln Center, home of the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet, the New York Philharmonic.

get the album published: 使影集出版。Richard想找人出版他的影集，但执行“出版影集”这一动作的人并不是Richard。用“动词get或者have+名词词组+过去分词” 表示使某物遭受到某种行动，或使某事被人做到。此时句子的主语对某一行为负有责任，但不是这一行为的执行者。
have a hard time doing something: 做某事很困难。
