男主人公徐郎在晚饭时冷不丁地跟他老婆提出来离婚。女的很震惊，问为什么，徐说不为什么。女的很生气，嚷嚷起来，说，“没理由，哪怕编个理由啊。“字幕翻译是： No reason. Just make up something. 各位大虾会怎么翻呢？我觉得Just make up something不是很贴切。
No reason, you could make up something. NO Reason? A white lie would‘ve made it better 我這是瞎說。重在參與﹐值得表揚。
I like jyuan's suggestion.
"No reason? Even a white lie would be good!"
"No reason? Can't you even come up with some lame excuse?"
"No reason? You've got to do better than that!"
IMO there are multiple ways to handle this. The important thing though, is to convey how upset the woman was.

No reason? You have got to be kidding me!
No reason? Give me something even if you have to make it up!
Nothing? Let's hear something!

Why don't you turn on your TV? The Olympic relay in SFO is about to begin.

They are talking about the potential impact on other issues, like economic issues. This is getting ugly. Its not constructive at all.

Well, that certainly was not what I expected. But at least I don't have to eat my words.

我虽然对奥运没什么热情，但是我不知道为什么国外会有那么多人阻碍圣火传递。
