Default We gonna take the ball game _______ real soon

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me hear the words I miss- We gonna take the ball game _______ real soon.

Thanks for your hlep.



T-Bag: They got the numbers all right, so they think they do as they please, we got one thing they don't, surprise. We gonna take the ball game _______ real soon. It's gonna be nasty for the first timer like you, but we'll protect you, I'll protect you. ...

Hi, Soup,

Fisrt, thanks for your help.

Yes. The script I get, just like you tell me, shows that T-Bag says-We gonna take the ball game to them real soon.

But...Everytime I hear this sentence, I always get that T-Bag says-We gonna take the ball game to them now real soon. And it seems the word, "now", I hear pretty clearly. Since I am not native speaker, I just...

Are you sure he says-We gonna take the ball game to them real soon ?

I listened to it again, and the only thing between 'to them' and 'real soon' is a great big pause. What you hear as now could be the speaker/announcer holding the sound [m] on the word them. He does do that.
