Buster Keaton's The Passionate Plumber. Need help again =)

Thank you very much, mates)
Part 7. A lot of French stuff here, too. Sorry for my arrogance… I didn’t really thing there’re so many phrases in French. Hope something is recognizeable…

1) 0:15. The guests are entering. The says something to women accompanying him. What does he say?
2) 0:47. What are they speaking about near the roulette? And then a man says something to the blonde woman. And he does it very long! And then he starts offending Elmer. What does he say all that time?
3) 1:39. What does the card say?
4) Elmer says: “This one are two people” What does the man answer? And from that on everything is in French again up to 2:51 (Tony: “Tell me. Who is this lover?”)
5) After that phrase Tony says: “…… his name if you can”
6) 3:13. Tony: “Why didn’t I kill you!” What is Elmer’s answer?
7) 3:54. Patricia: “That calmness, that tranquility… ……really insecure”
8) 4:08. Patricia: “No, love feelings are unspoken” (is it what she really says?)
9) 4:21. Tony goes away and at the same time a pair comes in front of the camera. He says something about the “game”. What are his words?
10) 4:39. Elmer stumbles. Patricia: “…… you to do that”.
11) 4:44. What does Elmer answer about his favorite game?
12) 4:48. Patricia: “Shall we play baccarat?” Elmer: “You think it’s ……?”
13) 5:00. Man’s excuses, in French. And all the quarrel (except Elmer’s “Tuttle”)
14) 6:09. Elmer: “Do I have …… 2000 franks?”
15) 6:17. What do the general and Patricia say to each other (in French) after: “Oh, mademoiselle Patricia! – General Bouchay!”
16) 6:20. Elmer: “General Bouchay! I’ve been looking…” And then during all that mess they cry something in French. What is it? Up to appr. 6:55
17) 7:15. Up to the end. Driver speaks only in French again.

1) this is a very wonderful place I'm sure you're going to enjoy it.

I'll have to listen to the rest tomorrow as it needs some concentration!

You know Rex, I think Will said somewhere else that these foreign phrases would never have been subtitled for English speaking audiences, so the French is very much a hubbub of French intonated noises. No doubt they are speaking French but I reckon it's deliberately elided together so even if you speak French it still comes across as just a general noise, just like the English shouty noises we heard in the last film when everyone gets excited. I don't think the audience is even supposed to understand what's being said - isn't that part of the joke? and it doesn't even form part of the plot . Look at when it actually does form part of the plot when the two French Casino workers plant the money on Elmer's supposedly suicidal body - they revert to speak in English so the audience does understand. I wouldn't translate the French to be honest.


2) at the roulette table the croupier says 'rien ne va plus' which is a roulette instruction not to place any more chips on the table. Translate as 'no more bets'

The old bore with the blonde lady sounds like he's just boring her. Can't make out anything, and he's outraged when Elmer unpins her gown with words - see you're not supposed to understand what he's saying to Elmer cos Elmer doesn't! I think he's saying something like this is a disgrace, here is my card you'll be hearing from me!

3) the card is just his name, obviously aristocratic

4) E: Is this one or two people?
the man's just saying this is a disgrace are you listening to me. (He obviously didn't understand Elmer's question)
At the roulette table when the balls go in, I would just translate that as cries of indignation. Rex, you know that slapping someone across the face with your glove is a challenge to a duel, yes?
After Elmer slaps the man , the man says 'here is my card I am waiting for yours'

5) invent his name if you can

6) E: must've been an oversight

7) that serene expression that tells of a love that is real and secure

8) no. love's sweetest meanings are unspoken

9) let's see if we can have a little game

10) P: it was nice of you to do that

11) Guinea hen broiled - this is a joke, a play on words she means game he answers as if she's asked what's his favourite game as in wild game to eat.

12) E: you think it's proper?

13) man: a thousand pardons, stupidity on my part, pardon.
oh my god! excuse me! it's not yours
It's you then!
E: Tuttle
but no never mind that! you are a coward!
can't catch that other phrase apart from My God!
then Elmer slaps him and afterwards these are all I can translate:
My God, listen! take my card
we will have a duel
(points to other people) you are witnesses to what this man has done

his last words are 'you are mad'!

14) 6.09 but I haven't got 2000 francs

15) General: how are you?
Patricia gets interrupted

16) can't hear this

17) something about his car!
then after the crash
oh! my car! oh what have you done! my Renault! five thousand francs!...oh sacred God!

That's great, Christine! Thank you! Gonna upload one more part today.

12) 4:41. Julius’ phrase at the very end.

1) well who have you been trying to assassinate now?

2) sorry the French is far too fast for me to understand!!

Do you wanna make something out of it? When it comes to hot looks you're no bowl of cherries. And look at them ears! if you had a propellor you'd be a monoplane! and he kids my smeller! and say it's faces like ...

I want you to act as my lover.” Elmer: “Oh, I couldn't charge for that.” Patricia: “Oh, you don’t understand. Not an actual lover, a pretence, a make-believe.”

5) 3:28. Patricia: “Oh, I can’t go on like this. Besides there's Aunt Charlotte. If she knew that I was in love with a married man, she’d make my life miserable”.

6) 3:48. Patricia: “Oh, I'm at my wit's end I don’t know what to do, which way to turn!and unless you help me!”

7) 2:34. “Well it’s something I really not discuss with a lady”. (I think it's just his way of getting rid of her, like things that weren't discussed in polite company). Aunt: “Just what I suspected. It happened to her mother. And at about the same age. It was a lucky thing I came when I did doctor, when you were here”.

17) 6:33. All the scene with the phone call. Can you write the French spelling together with the translation?

E: Aleecee troy troy dux dux (alycee trois trois dix dix) (from the way he says dux it could either be two - deux or ten - dix but from J's pronounciation it sounds like they're trying to say dix)

J: “You don’t say it the way you spell it! It’s trois trois dir dir”

El: “Pardon. Voulez vous would you please give me Alycee trois trois dux dux?”

J: “Didn't I just tell you there ain't no dux”

El: “No dux. No no, two trois trois two diruses and no dux ”

J: “Gimme that phone. Alycee trois trois dir dir. Say I get the idea while she's going over there he's coming over here”

24) 8:52. Pat: “So this is the reason you're through with me is it?”

25) 9:45. Everything that they say simultaneously.
he would belong to me if you would divorce him
I would divorce him?
yes if you would divorce him!

26) 9:56. Nina: “Then it was just a stupid and foolish love affair?” And then is that Spanish? Something like Saint Maria? sounds like santissimo - if there is such a word!

27) 10:02. El: “Would you like some tea?” Then they start arguing. Is that possible to get something to Elmer’s words: “Take it easy, will u?” - Nina's words are in Spanish I think

28) 10:20. Nina rushes towards the door crying something, is it in Spanish? And she continues speaking when El drags her away. It seems like English. Can you help? I can only make out "get him"

29) 10:26. El: “Stay in here” She: “something in Spanish” He: “I’ll call you”.

30) 11:15. Tony: “She’s just a crazy rattlebrained Spaniard. The kind of a woman that man finds, fondles and forgets”. (what a bastard!)

31) 11:24. Tony: “Oh. It’s an art, If you will take the word of one who has had many.”

32) 11:51. El: “Not responsible for hats and overcoats” – what does he mean? the women have just come out of the cloakroom where the hats and coats are stored so he means if they're not responsible for hats and coats then they're there to do something else!

33) 12:00. Nina: “you are crazy for me, aren’t you?” - what does Tony say at this very time? he says "oh well you know, why you see"

34) 12:08. Tony: “Well, you see..” - what does Nina cry in reply? not sure could be Spanish? Tony: “I think I can explain everything to you.” Nina: “AH!”

are you doing any more tonight?

Just added the question about the final bit)
