"Do anything for a quiet life" = làm bất kỳ việc gì vì một cuộc sống bình yên -> nghĩa là cố gắng rất nhiều để tránh gặp phải vấn đề hoặc sự xung đột; làm mọi thứ có thể để tránh rắc rối hoặc ngăn ai làm phiền đến cuộc sống.

Ví dụ
It would be absurdly naive (ngây thơ một cách ngớ ngẩn) to think that US animus (động cơ, ý định) toward China can be dissipated (bị tiêu tan) through an expedient truce (thỏa ước ngừng bắn có lợi), or that China will do anything for a quiet life and abandon its challenge of America’s technological supremacy (uy thế về công nghệ).

Judi says: “Gaga is making the point that she is very spontaneous (tự nhiên, tự ý), but Dan looks uninterested. While Gaga has a protective hand over his chest, he would rather go back to his lunch. She wants him to stop what he is doing. "The symmetry (sự xứng đôi) between them isn’t there. It looks like he would do anything for a quiet life but won’t join in whole heartedly. The dangling (đu đưa, lủng lẳng) arm could even suggest he has one foot out of the relationship.”

James Sobol Kelly (Eulee) is the most successful at portraying a three-dimensional character (nhân vật ba chiều), thanks mainly to the fact that the playwright (người viết kịch) has given him a mostly sedentary role (vai trò tĩnh lại, ngồi một chỗ) as the precinct’s lieutenant (giới hạn, phạm vi người trung úy) who will do anything for a quiet life. Facially he is superb (oai hùng): most expressive (diễn cảm) – we can tell what he is thinking just by his subtle (tinh tế) body language. His is also the most believable Chicago accent (chất giọng) – probably because the actor was born there!
