Disappointed...

So I finally purchased the script to the movie Snatch.

Unfortunately, I found this on page 130 from the coursing scene (I dare anyone to ask what coursing is

):

MICKEY: Ah, save your breath for cooling your porridge. So now look...

He goes into a high speed description that neither Turkish or we have a clue what he's saying.

MICKEY (cont'd): ...She's terribly partial to periwinkle blue. Have I made myself clear, boys?

TURKISH: Yeah, that's perfectly clear Mickey. Just give me one minute to confer with my colleague.

For those that have no idea what I'm talking about, this:

He goes into a high speed description that neither Turkish or we have a clue what he's saying.

Was disappointing.

I had imagined that brad did a bit of improvising at different points of the movie....if that is the only spot, then I overestimated.

That's the only spot I've seen so far. The script is pretty damn true to the movie actually. Only a few cases I've seen where the spoken word doesn't match the script.

coursing is hunting using hunting dogs to chase the prey I believe.
Like running a fox.

Care to make a link to it?

I bought it at Barnes and Noble last night man. No linkage available.

Great read though.

On the DVD you can use subtitles, and at that part it comes up blank.

Yeah, that's why I was looking for the script.

It's common practice for this sort of thing to be improvised. A 'script' won't have improvised or ad libbed dialogue in it -- the script is merely the basis from which the movie is shot, but by no means is it necessarily the final word.

You'll want to find a 'transcript' if you want to read Mickey's improvised words. A transcript is a complete rundown of all dialogue in the final cut of the movie. It's sort of like a shooting script, only written after the filming, and not before it.

I agree Mill. In this case however, I'm not sure he really said anything.

Aranuil,
I will confess I didnt really think that movie was anything special. I watched it on a recommendation from a friend and found myself bored with it.

The special edition has subtitles. I never realized when he popped up with the hangover after a solid tug from Tommy's flask that he proclaims, "I need to have a shite!!" Anyway once you watch this film enough times, Pikey starts to make perfect sence.

I think he says something about seats in that mad rambling.
