Need help from French speaker
Aqua? Badchild? Are you out there?
I've started on a lengthy project creating the script of Gabriel Knight 3. There is a section of which I cannot make out what is being said, for
three reasons:
I'm not a native French speaker
The actress saying the lines is not a native French speaker, but an American with a different accent I'm not familiar with
The conversation happens through a door.
The character, Madeline, is talking to somebody about the two dead men she found with her tour group. They were found at the local landmark Le
Fauteuil du Diable, with their throats cut and blood drained.

It is all Chinese to me, i hope you can forgive me that I cannot help you out.
Why is the world so changing rapidly. On my first computer I saw A: after starting it up with a 160k single side single density floppy.

A very nice French speaker has helped me out. I'd never have picked THAT out.

Buthane! That's it!
Thank you so much! I can update my script and homepage now!
If you're in for a laugh, here's another scene from the game with an American speaker in a bad attempt to talk French:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9L5ghvOWWfs#t=02m40s
Fortunately it's both subtitled, and translated in the game, so I know what he says. I was so peeved off with this guy's acting performance
I could not believe who was behind it: Gregg Berger, who played Cornfed in Duckman.

I'm not quite sure these days are really over, a lot of people still think that way, there's still a lot of work to do.

That's true, according to the UN women worldwide do 60% of the work and get 10% of the world's salary. It's very hard to get a job when
you're a woman over 25, even here. People do see you as a time-bomb who can have kids any moment and cost the company money.

I can't see how this Humanity will ever evolve without giving women equal pay for equal work.
If I was a woman, I'd be a lesbian for sure. I wouldn't have to deal with taht man's crap. Not to mention sex without getting pregnant.
It amazes me that only 10-12% of women are.:umm:

Peer pressure among women is awful. Most women wear make-up and fashionable clothing because other women tell them to do so.
Nah. I'm happy I'm straight.

So you're writing all
men off including yourself. That's a massively broad brush stroke.

That's a bit of man's crap - sex without consequences.

Largely, being gay is not a matter of choice. Yes, there are exceptions, but mostly,
people find themselves physically attracted to what they are attracted to on a level below any kind of rationality, so that's another example of
man's crap.

I have to admit - reading Plook's thread and the way they write in there about sex with women - that shocks me. Bedroom stuff is for bedroom only
and the thought nauseates me that that one bf I had might have talked about me in similar fashion.

I'm with you Bonny. Sharing sex stories is rather puerile and insensitive.
