Lost in Transition

Does anyone know what the Bill Murray character whispered to the girl in the closing scene of the film, Lost in Transition, that was shown on Film4 last week ?

I think it was some remark about her sister or mother, as one of the missing scenes is the subsequent head butt.

My word, that would be a much better title wouldn't it ? Lost in Translation, yes, I wonder why Sophia Coppola didn't think of that. I think Bill Murray was saying somehting like, 'Lose the puppy fat girl, and I'll be in your next movie too' - but I''m not much better at lip reading than i am at reading film titles.

When I rented the DVD for Mrs Rotf she had the same question so I turned on the subtitles and it revealed that what he said was inaudible mumble - a strange thing to say I thought.

'Your husband is an idiot' would have been reasonable.
I loved the whole feel of that movie.

I liked Ms Scarlett's scathing remark after the Murray character slept with the nightclub singer, 'Well at least she is closer to your age, you's have lots more to talk about, such as, what it was like growing up in the fifties' - ouch !

I loved this film and was talking about it this weekend at a stag do when the subject of movies came up. I was told it was "a girl's movie"...... so I chinned him.

Too nice to be good at hurting people, is what it felt like with me. I remember the casual reply of mrs Murray on to mr Murray's attempt at being assertive on the phone: "Why don't you stay over there if you like it that much better"(reconstructed from memory).
Delicate movie. After that I picked up "The girl with the Pearl Earring" (modest story, but beautiful images ) and 'The Life Aquatic' (too odd to grasp from the first time) from the video rental place.
Rasher, I hope you didn't use your handbag to chin him, it can make nasty stains.

Yea, I thought it a wonderful movie and played that last 'inaudible mumble' back a few times but could not lip read it at all much to my huge annoyance.
I quite like alot of 'girlie' films and would rather watch 'Lost in translation', 'Girl with a pearl earing' (stunning visuals and acting)or 'Notting Hill (watched again last night)than some macho moronic murder fest starring some cretin like Schwartennegger.

I thought it was really boring. Waited for it to start it didn't. YMMV.

I believe the point of that little scene is to keep a secret from the audience so they wonder what hidden message was passsed across.
