Annotations
Whazat ? Well, I thought, proudly, that the work I have done (26 hours of translation) gave to me the right to add some annotations. For the most part, they represent what I would have written if I had understood everything that was being said. The rest is owed to my years in History where we learn meticulousness, rigour and curiosity. I hope that my ravings will provoke a smile or at least will interest you. Alea jacta est !
*1- Surprise. Smile, you were filming.
*2- Certainly not any more quickly than in « Turpitude » Picket Fences.
*3- The real tomatoes, not this red things without taste, should be eaten plain ; cruched like apples. All my childhood
*4- Et la tête Et la tête
Et le bec Et le bec
Alouette Alouette
Ah
*5- Agua Mala means not only « bad water » but also « medusa ».
*6- Poor Homer. I know, stop shoving your oar in with spelling. But I cant,I cant. Too many years in History.
*7- That worked out for Ron Perlman.
Ô Catherine Ô Vincent
*8- Amazing and Amoureuse . She wouldnt be Tiger or Leo by coincidence ?
*9- Syntax awful ;stop the Irish coffee. And then Herakles hadnt be unfaithful to his wife.
*10- Vlad Tepes (« The Impaler ») aka Vlad Dracul (« Son of the Devil »or « Son of the Dragon »), Voevod of Wallachia (1430-1456-62). Romanian hero of the war against the Ottoman Empire. Theres like a temporal problem
*11-Taken from Whoosh !Episode Guide Transcript HTLJ Mercenary
(
http://whoosh.org/epguide/trans/h301trans.html)Act IV ; scene 1
Derk : « Thanks. Well, theres still two left. Ya got any ideas ? »
Herc : « Just one. »
Derk : « It doesnt require leaping, does it ? Oh. »
This little part of the « Mercenary » ;Hercules, had mysteriously disappeared from the French version. I have the « great delight » to announce to you that you were censured. Welcome in my country.
*12- If it was to reassure me, it was unnecessary. I dont make confusion between reality and fiction since a long time. And more « No Strings Attached » is probably a movie that I will never see ; or maybe not And television news are 100 times more violent than any film.
*13- Seinfeld 1st episode aired on a French national channel the 24 June 1999
Ellen .. not yet.
*14- One year to lay my hands on. Its in Original Version non-subtitle, I dont get a damned thing.
*15- Aesop said « Tongue is the worst and the best thing in the world. »
*16- Never seen dumb as Bernardo or one-handed as Captain Hook. But one-eyed as Hannibal or with a missing tooth, yes. In Jungle Boy (1996 ; Allan A. Goldstein) you could have the two for the price of one.
*17- dont cry you are not alone L
*18- When Yoga met Kama
*19- Youre as old as you feel.
*20- taquitos ? little tacos ? ?
*21- Big is beautiful !
*22- Phantom pragnancy ? ( in France Nervous pragnancy ; a joke of my mother)
Er one or two children ?
*23- For those who know, the sketch of Anthony Kavanagh,Quebec comic, a Canuck, « lAccouchement » [« The Childbirth »]
*24- bad timing
*25- DS9 « Hippocratic oath » season IV ;episode 4
*26- Star Trek VI, The Undiscovered Country.
Star Trek Voyager « Flashback » season III ;episode 2
*27-Buffy the Vampire Slayer « Faith,Hope and Trick. » season III ; episode 3
*28- Ok ; what an American probably would have said is « Whats your best memory while you were on set ? » (Thank you Joxerfan).
*29- « Keys »,The Pretender, aired the 25 July 1997 in France.
*30- Boaster ! Wrestling with a cage yeah
*31- The idea was rather « Do you ever get tired of playing bad guys who end up dying half the time ? »
*32- Ezekiel-18 ; 23.
*33- or Fabien Barthez with the beard [goalkeeper of the French Soccer Team and A.S. Monaco.]
*34- « Lunatics, a Love Story. »
*35- Any case registered in France to my knowledge.
*36- Anecdote related by Robert Bielak : « Sir Laurence Olivier one time was rehearsing a play, and a young actor came to him and said something like These lines, I just cant make them work.I cant say them. Sir Olivier said in response Well, I thought our job was to make htem work. »
*37- yeah,damn MO.

*44- Why not Bruce Campbell was pretty as a woman.
*45- From the Chinese astrology, Horses projects carry out this year. An astrology who says that Dragons are tyrannical (excepted Shirley I hope J ) should be right.

*48- And the Dharma in all that ?
*49- Thats very strange. I wrote in May-June-July 1998 a story a bit in this style taking place in Xenas adventures. My subject wasnt karma but to show people their fate in the Underworld, the Land of Hades, in order that they change their behaviour. I resurrected and deified Thersites. I made him to meet an Egyptian god (Guess who ?). I put him on yoga and he became Buddhist (Mahâyâna).

*51- In the R.E.M.s video « Losing my religion »,directed by Tarseem, we can see a fallen angel and Hindu deities in the same time.
