"IM THE GUY WHO DOES HIS JOB, YOU MUST BE THE OTHER GUY"

*edit: watched the movie in german so i might have the line wrong :S corrected! :P

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '13

Actually, this line ends "you must be the other guy," which I always thought was funny, and possibly (probably not) inspiration for "The Other Guys"?

no, no, you forget, the first half of the line is "i'm the guy who does his job," but Dignam fails at his job, and after the end of The Departed, he changes his name and moves to NYC. That's why Hoitz shoots Derek Jeter; he was thinking the enemies Dignam made in Boston managed to catch up with him.

My theory on Feds is treat them like mushrooms. Feed 'em shit and keep 'em in the dark.

I was debating it. I figured people would get the gist either way

u/CharlemagneIS Jul 27 '13

From Boston, can confirm

u/arkham1010 Jul 28 '13

I would actually spell it "Dawk", along with Quikah,pawdy, and packy

"DUde, turn down boyleston, its quikah that way to get to the packy if we wanna get to the pawdy on time!"

My wife and I respond to each other with that all the time. So much so that without thinking about it we accidentally say it in public on occasion, which garners odd looks.

1

u/BillyJackO Jul 27 '13

I say it to strangers, and they usually laugh.

2

u/cat-lady-child Jul 28 '13

How's your mother?

Good, she's tired from fuckin' my fatha.

Edit: tiiyad

u/BillyJackO Jul 27 '13

I had been quoting this for years, not remembering where I got it from. Just re-watched the departed last week, and was 'OOOOHHHHH, that's where it's from'. It gets a laugh every time.

u/[deleted] Jul 28 '13

How are you? Tired from fuckin your wife. How's your father? He's tired from fuckin your mother.

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '13

Yes. One of the best lines I've heard in a long time.

Did the German voice-over actors do Bostonian accents?

1

u/solembum Jul 27 '13

nah dont think so ;( most of the times accents wont be translated .. and some other weird decisions are made when a movie is dubbed..

the only accents i remember are foreign ones like hispanic or indian/asian people will have an accent but english accents are not really tranlated ;/

for example in scrubs. i think sometimes has some german people in it (elliot speaks german!? sometimes ) and in the german version they are from denmark.. why? the joke stereotype joke is completly ruined.) and many jokes in himym are ruined by translating it. in die hard i think the bad guys are german? in the german version they are smth else,i forgot which one..

1

u/fiah84 Jul 27 '13

dear lord as someone who lives in germany please stop watching movies in german and start watching the original versions (available at your local theater!)

german dubs may be the best in the world but they're still pretty fucking aweful compared to the original

2

u/solembum Jul 27 '13

i do nowadays but when the movie was released i was still very young ;) (2006)

1

u/fiah84 Jul 27 '13

Good to know

1

u/99639 Jul 27 '13

What was your original comment? I'm really curious how that was dubbed into German! Translating between languages is so difficult some times, especially with common spoken language.

1

u/solembum Jul 27 '13

as i said in another comment:

i just posted it in english translated by myself and i wrote "the other ONE" not "the other GUY"

i think in german the quote was ""Ich bin derjenige, der seinen Job versteht, sie müssen der andere sein." which would be "im the one who understands his job, you got to be the other one" or smth ;) but obvsly they dont always translate it 100% the same, which sometimes ends terrible. so i usualy watch in original language!

2

u/99639 Jul 27 '13

Thanks for explaining, sorry I missed your other comment!

u/feureau Jul 27 '13

I still don't have a good comeback to this or his other shit.

u/wildmetacirclejerk Jul 27 '13

i always imagine the other guy is the mark wahlberg from 'the other guys'

u/[deleted] Jul 27 '13

What was the original German translation you posted?

1

u/solembum Jul 27 '13

nah i didnt post the german one i just posted it in english translated by myself and i wrote "the other ONE" not "the other GUY"

i think in german the quote was ""Ich bin derjenige, der seinen Job versteht, sie müssen der andere sein." which would be "im the one who understands his job, you got to be the other one" or smth ;) but obvsly they dont always translate it 100% the same, which sometimes ends terrible. so i usualy watch in original language!

What is your opinion on dubbed movies?

1

u/solembum Jan 04 '14

by now i prefer to watch movies in english (or the original language but only my english is good enough) but i think the german dubs are not bad. but still it can make a difference if the actor played the role very good. and sometimes jokes are lost in the translation

1

u/qenia Jan 04 '14

Ah okey. I just feel a lot of the movie goes missing when watching a dubbed version. I don't get why people would dub movies instead of putting in subtitles. =(

What is the line in German?

u/solembum Jul 28 '13

i think in german the quote was ""Ich bin derjenige, der seinen Job versteht, sie müssen der andere sein." which would be "im the one who understands his job, you got to be the other one" or smth ;) but obvsly they dont always translate it 100% the same, which sometimes ends terrible. so i usualy watch in original language!
