Having a debate with a friend about a line in this movie. There are no official subs for it and the script doesn't detail this scene.



The line uttered approx 0:12-0:15 seconds "Fuck me John ............."

One of us thinks he says:

1. "fuck me John, look at the size of ya"

And the other:

2."fuck me John, you're getting a size ain't ya?"

Which is it? Choose a number.

I think it's the first one, but I can't understand what the weightlifter's name is. :unsure:
 
Out of those two it's number one, because he could be saying "you're getting size ain't ya" which would make more sense than "you're getting a size"...so it's definitely not number two

Put subtitles on?

I just checked it out but the version on amazon does not have this dialogue, must be directors cut or deleted scene.

It could really go either way, I was convinced it was closer to 2 but I listened again and it could be 1.

Fuck it, I'm saying 2. It sounds like there's an extra syllable for it to be "Look at the size of ya" with the way he speaks, it would be an unnatural slow down. "Gettin' a size" isn't common phrasing so it throws people off but it's a better fit

Is this manchester accent?
London. Cockney, essentially.

Pretty much

Off the top of my head, I'd guess the most distinctive would be:
-Received Pronunciation (think BBC News, very easy to understand)
-London (think Cockney, not the modern Multicultural London accent)
-Manchester (standard Northern)
-Liverpool (Scouse, most famously The Beatles)

Some others:
-Birmingham (Brummie)
-Newcastle (Geordie)
-Yorkshire (where Leeds is, stronger than the Manchester accent)
-West Country (farmers or pirates, depending on who you ask)

Those are the main ones for just England. Britain includes Scotland and Wales, which have their own distinctive accents.

Sorry, I didn't explain it at all. They're nicknames for the people from those areas. People from Newcastle are nicknamed Geordies, so it's a Geordie accent. Liverpool's a bit different, it's a Scouse accent but the people who speak it are Scousers.
