    Listening Help Hello. Could you help me make out what this Chinese guard says? https://vocaroo.com/7a97RinT8CJ Guard: We were waiting for Cheng Lan. Now we have to ???. It's another ???. A bit of context: A group off Russian Cossacks attempts a stealth assault on a Chinese castle. The movie is set in the 18th century Thank you!

    Thank you very much, everyone, for your input. Although it doesn't sound to my ear like "quickly", it is now obvious to me that the line is near to impossible to make out. So let's call it a thread. Oh, and by the way, not that it matters much, a bit of background information: The captain is played by Martin Klebba. The sailor is a woman in disguise. It's a Russian ship, moored in England. I'm not sure if the captain is a Russian, though. His name was never mentioned (they simply call him "Captain") and his screen time scarce.

    Unfortunately no way to find a decent transcript - believe me, I tried. Your "now you" makes much more sense to me. Thank you very much, Nanren888- and Michael!

    Listening Help Hello, this is a piece of dialogue between a ship captain and his potential assistant in an English-speaking movie. Could you help me transcribe it correctly, please? https://voca.ro/kE3ivBTYAK4 Captain: Put it down. (The sailor puts down the case of whiskey he's holding.) Captain: Is this single-malt? Sailor: Yes, sir. Captain: So you know your whiskeys, do you? Sailor: Yes, I do. Captain: Pour me. (The sailor pours whiskey for the captain.) Captain: ??? (The captain takes a gulp of it.) Captain: Are you? (It looks like he wants the sailor to drink with him.) The dialogue was a bit edited to remove all irrelevant background conversations, and that's why the sound of pouring whiskey is so short. The most trouble gives me the part after the sailor's "Yes, I do." - the last three lines said by the captain. Does he say "Pour me. Pristine. Are you?"? If so, what is implied by "Are you?" Thank you!

    Thank you very much, Michael! I'm now sure it's directly connected to the previous line said by the same sailor. I got confused because there are four sailors talking at the same time in this scene. Here's the rest of the dialogue: Sailor #1: Are sure this is the captain who will take us to China? Sailor #2: It's written all over his face. I found the man at the port tavern, home to all the old sea dogs. Perhaps, not "the man" but "him".

    Thank you very much, Michael! Your explanation is really good. I would've never been able to infer all you said on my own. Just a bit of clarification: the daughter was put there by a fan; so she wasn't actually in the movie. I just thought that her narrative might shed much more light on the scene than my fumbled account of it. I agree with everything you said but one thing: I don't think Quint saw Brody's attempt to get rid of the drink - he simply didn't need to, as Brody not drinking it in one gulp was enough for Quint to understand that his visitors were nothing like good old men this town was full of some time ago. Brody sipping at the drink: https://ibb.co/nPcmp7w And Michael, do you mind putting your explanation in the answer section? That way we'll be able to close the question. I'm pretty much sure that your explanation addresses almost everything one could possibly want to know about the two lines.

    Can't get a good man these days under 60. All gone at least 35 years. Hello. in Jaws (1975), a shark fisherman says this to Brody, the Chief of Police, before they go hunting: Quint: Can't get a good man these days under 60. All gone at least 35 years. Could you tell me what he means? I find his lines very confusing. You can find more lines from the scene here: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8148047/18/Sweet-Caroline.

    "Batgirl" is not PC. Hello. In Batman & Robin (1997), there is a scene where Batman (his real name is Bruce Wayne) and Robin meet Batgirl for the first time. So they don't know who she is, yet. Batman: And you are? Batgirl: Batgirl. Batman: That's not awfully P.C. What about Batperson or Batwoman? Batgirl: Bruce, it's me, Barbara. I found the batcave. I know that PC stands for "Politically Correct" and I understand that it's a bit of a joke. What I don't understand, however, is that why Batgirl is not considered to be politically correct. Could you explain it to me, please? Thank you.
