I've just watched "Lost in Translation", a great movie about a former movie star and a neglected newlywed meeting up as strangers in Tokyo, Japan, and forming an unlikely bond as they struggle to find themselves.

As I was watching the movie I ran into a few dialogues that I didn't quite get. Could you take a look at them and explain what they mean?


1. Rat pack
What is rat pack?

2. A: You so gentleman, yes?
B: A-ring-a-ding-ding?
A: Yeah.
A is a Japanese cameraman with little English ability. B is the protagonist, the formal movie star. What is a ring-a-ding-ding? what's he trying to tell?

3. Old Blue Eyes
Since all first characters are capitalized I assume it's a name of something. What is it?


4. Man: How long have you been married?
(Man offering light to woman with unlit cigarette in her mouth)

Woman: Oh, thank you.
Mmm, two years?

Man: Twenty-five long ones.
By looking at the dialogues following after this one, I realized that he was mentioning about his marital years. But what does he mean by Twenty-five 'LONG ONES'?


5. Man: What did you study?

Woman: Philosophy.

Man: Yeah, there's good buck in that racket.

Woman: Well, so far it's probono.

Man: Well, I'm sure you'll figure out the angles.

What is probono? and what does he mean by 'you'll figure out the angles?'


6. I hope you've had enough to drink. It's gonna take courage.

This should be really easy sentence... but something about it confuses me. I took it as "I hope you're drunk enough to do this" - correct me if I'm wrong.


Also, if you find any grammatical mistakes in this post overall and correct them I'd very much appreciate it.
That's it fot today, thank you very much.
