Does anyone have the script/translation for the scene in the subway where Pacino/Milton confronts two aggressive thugs, and says something to them in Spanish which certainly seems to put the frighteners on them? I thought at one time that it was explained in the film, or I found something on a website, but I can’t recall the detail.
I caught part of the film on TNT or somesuch recently and there were subtitles for that scene. Essentially, he’s telling the guy to go back to his woman/girlfriend at home and he’ll find his friend there with her. He also says something along the lines of “You know what you need to do.”
Ditto to what ArchiveGuy said. I thought the subtitles were in the original, but I’ve never seen it in the theater, so can’t be sure. I know enough Spanish to verify that this is in fact what Pacino is actually though, or something quite close to it.
Yes, subtitles are in the original, as well, but they were slightly changed for the TNT version.
In the original version, Pacino tells the guy to go home, that not five minutes after he left, his girlfriend let Carlo (at least I think that’s the guy’s name) into the house, and they’re now having sex on their green bedspread. (He puts it a bit more bluntly, actually.) Pacino tells him he should go home and put that knife where it belongs-- in Carlo.
He also tells him that he can catch the train coming the other way in a few minutes.
