([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIQHqvG9Ql8](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIQHqvG9Ql8)) At the 2:04 mark, what is the Haitian saying? I’m assuming it’s Creole. ---

Not sure. Part of it sounds like merde (shit) but it isn’t very clear ---

Hard to tell, but it does sound like the main word is “merdeux”(?) or “shitty” in French/Creole. “A Bon merdeux. Yeah, man!”? Maybe “a ton…” (to you?) so loosely “to you shit. Yeah man!” ---

According to the captioning he says “y I thought we Mad D yeah”. Under the subtitle settings is a ‘Suggest caption corrections’ option, never noticed one of those before. ---

Did you check the script? [https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=bad+boys+2+script](https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=bad+boys+2+script) ---

The portion of the script that aligns with the captioning around that point: > [@](#): > > Shoot them. Fucking shoot them. > > They shot me. They got me, man. Yo! > > Got you. > > Oh, shit! Motherfucker! > > They killed the boy! Doesn’t seem to match up with the video clip. ---

So is he saying “A ton merdeuse maman”? Sometimes the translation of street cursing is not highly accurate…
