Blades of Glory in Japanese

letslearn · 23 Dec 2014

Hi Guys,
I did a search on the forum but could not find the answer. I'm not sure if this has been asked before, but in the movie blades of glory the character jimmy gets asked a question by a Japanese reporter and answers in Japanese. Does anyone know what the dialogue is?
よろしくお願いします

Jon Heder answers the reporter: "That's a good question. We'd like to do well, but we both--you have such pretty eyes!" when the reporter asks: "What kind of competition are you hoping for?" !

Thank you for your reply, but I was hoping to get the actual dialogue.

sorry, can't seem to find it, unless you have a clip for someone to transpose

You could consider it listening practice and have a go at transcribing it yourself.

I have been trying to but the reporter is so fast.
The only words I understand are 大会 for tournament and 望みですか。for wish, desire, etc.
Jimmy says something like
いい質問ですね. good question
上手にやりたいと思います、I think I want do well
I hear じつは。the truth is
こころで by the heart?
目はきれいですよ。eyes are beautiful.

Probably ところで

If you get Audacity (free audio editing program) you can slow down the audio.

I'm not sure but it sounds like he also says
ふたいとも
I'm only guessing but is the ふたい mean in addition?
And とも means companion.
So using ところで as you suggest is it like.
By the way, In addition my companion thinks your eyes are beautiful.

Mike Cash · 24 Dec 2014

Probably 二人とも (the two of you, both of you)

letslearn · 24 Dec 2014

Could it be with context, the girl he really likes is also there, so the both of you mean the reporter and the girl he likes?
二人ともところで目はきれいですよ
Both of your eyes are beautiful.

二人ともところで目はきれいですよ
Both of your eyes are beautiful.

Or for clarity: you both have beautiful eyes

I haven't seen this scene, so keep in mind my suggestions are guesswork based on your guesswork

So the reporter says something along the lines of. what are your hopes for the tournament? (the speech is way to fast for my level)
Jimmy then says,
いい質問ですね.上手にやりたいと思いますが実は二人ともところで目はきれいですよ.
That's a good question. I hope to do well, the truth is no matter what, both your eyes are beautiful.
Does that sound alright?

It is plausible. Is he talking to two people?

No he is directly speaking to the reporter. But the girl he likes is in the crowd behind.

Look more carefully the translation nice-gaijin-san quoted.
We'd like to do well, but we both--you have such pretty eyes!

I'm pretty sure there's a break after 上手にやりたいと思いますが、実は二人とも. Those must be actually two sentences. My guess is 上手にやりたいと思いますが、実は二人とも…。ところで目がきれいですね。

You maybe right, but I don't see a definite pause.
But buy your guess he could be mesmerised by her eyes so loses his train of thought. Quite difficult for me to say.

The journalist asked: 特に彼らはライバル関係にあったので、どのような競争を期待していますか、と尋ねたですか？。 Jon Heder responded to the journalist: にこう答えた。問題ないそれは良い質問ですね。私たちは正しく対応したいと思っていますが、せつはしつ、と思う。ふたり二人とも…そして私のパートナーがあなたに言ったのは、あなたはとてもきれいな目をしているということです！

In english
The journalist asked: "What kind of competition do you expect, especially since they were rivals?" . Jon Heder responded to the journalist: "That's a good question. No pronlem, We want to do it right, That means we are doing it! but I think we both... and my partner said to you, you have very pretty eyes.
