Hello! I'm not sure in the choise of category for my question. But! I really need help. I'm trying to translate a short movie. And I'm stuck in one dialogue because I can't catch what actors are saying. Can you write the dialogue from time 3:15, please?

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VIDEO IS SUITABLE FOR OVER 18s ONLY.

Re: Audition

Warning: this video contains sexual scenes that may be offensive to some of our members. There is no need to provide dialogue to the OP; the film speaks for itself!
Cheers,

Re: Audition

Re: Audition

I'm sorry if you find this offensive. I know, that it doesn't matter what they're saying in that small scene, but if you can make out their speech from 3:15 to 3:30, please please please write it. I'll be very grateful for the help.

Re: Audition

Here's most of it:

Hey there.
Hey, How you going.
????
Yes, ??
Yes, uh, Congratulations, I hear you're getting married again.
Yes I am. Thank you very much.
Where's your, ah, lovely bride-to-be?
She's, um, 'round somewhere.

Re: Audition

This is a short film from the Lesbian Short Film category of a 2011 film competition. It is only suitable for over 18s - we need to be very aware of that given that our users are not all over 18. I have added a warning to the first post and to the title to that effect.

Re: Audition

I don't believe that because the video has lesbian themes, you should impose your personal views that it should be only seen by people over 18. This is abusing your role as a moderator.

Re: Audition

It was nothing to with the lesbian themes. I was actually defending the video to a certain extent. The issue of under-18s seeing it refers to the sexual content, regardless of the sex of the participants. There are laws in this country regarding the age of people who are permitted to see certain things and sex is one of them.

Re: Audition

The post was reported and complaints were made (not by me). I removed the link, which had been left in place long enough for the question to be answered in post 5.

Re: Audition

I am very sure that the rating system in the UK is the same or very close to that in the U.S. The video would be rated PG or PG-13 in the U.S. and 12A (rated suitable for 12 years and over) in the U.K.

I found the video very educational and interesting. I am just wondering if the young person in the video was a male would any complaints have been lodge?

When you click through to YouTube, it is clearly marked that it is age-restricted and you have to sign in in order to confirm your age. In the UK, the contents of that film would certainly not be deemed suitable for young teenagers.

The dialogue has been given. Continuing a discussion about whether it should have been allowed to remain or not is fruitless. We have taken the safer route and removed it.
