pants or pans

[gorie]

listen to this, it's a short sound clip: puzzle? (http://www.kingofthebop.com/mp3/puzzle.mp3)

tell me what you think he says. thanks /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[gorie]

why do i get the feeling the first votes that were for pants 2 seconds after i made this post didn't even listen to the sound clip ? /images/graemlins/frown.gif

you guys aren't helping !

[Senor Cardgage]

I'll vote "pants", despite the fact that he clearly says "hands".

[gorie]

ok fine, i am an idiot and i'm sad now for getting it wrong.

i always thought it was pans (i still don't hear a "t" , but that explanation makes sense so i'll accept it), and some how it made sense to me in a confusing way. the part about it not making much sense is what i liked about it. haha. but i figure, as a puzzle, they can only go one way or the other, and it's the same either way. ugh ! i suck ! pants.

the meaning i took from it is completely different if he really says pants.

wait wait. but the river isn't splitting in two. it goes to the left. and it goes to the right.

what kind of weird pants are these ?

if the river is like a puzzle with pants, do the pants only have one leg and we are standing at the knee ?

did you listen to the clip ?

'this river goes two ways...' is how it starts.

i'm not talking about the direction the water flows.

[cbfair]

Sorry Gorie, I wanted it to be Pans, just cause it's such a humorous non-sequitor, but I think he said "pannnnnnnts". He draws out the N so much, you hardly notice the t.

"Like a puzzle with Pants" is still a non-sequitor, but I like pans better.

huh? going to the right or going to the left doesnt mean its at 90 degree angles. You are standing at the crotch, one leg goes to the left, the other goes to the right.

I heard pans. Like in pots and pans. I just figure the idea of river water goes better with pans, something you use around water than pants. I guess I would need more context clues to further clarify.

i understand the pants thing , i'm just saying in the movie, the river isn't split in two like the pants. he's in the water and it's a straight river. so i'm not sure why it would be like a puzzle with pants for the reason of it 'branching into two like a pair of pants' because that's not what the river situation is.

[imported_anacardo]

It is absolutely "hands."

Without a shadow of a doubt.

So why don't you just buy the DVD and watch it with subtitles on. Seems like the best solution to your problem. It's available on Amazon btw.

edit: just read the other thread where it says it doesn't have subtitles. Sometimes you can buy a script of the movie, but this is probably some small independant whackjob film that wouldn't offer that. In which case, just track down one of the actors and call him up, he's probably a waiter anyway.

if it is really "it's like a puzzle with pants, if you think about it" i think that would translate.

i still want to think it's pans, because that would make less sense (in a funny way) and would be harder to translate.

ugh, pans is so much better...

does this make sense?...from the IMDB board

I thought it was pants. which makes sense because when he is askin' the dog to jump in the lake and swin he is essentially telling himself to jump back in the game. a girl is just a "puzzle in pants".

Gorie,

I hear 'pans' but process the meaning of the word as 'pants'.....

Like if I said 'I would like to invite you to the pans party' you'd know what I meant, right? /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Oh snaps! I just realized (after reading down the thread) that this is from 'All the real girls' which I rented 5 minutes ago...hrrmm...I hope the movie is better than this one clip, /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

hmm, it could make sense in a forced way.

[KingOtter]

It certainly seems to be pants, but I fail to see the meaning.

He is talking to a dog... so maybe 'pants' like 'the dog panted in the summer heat'? Not that that makes any sense either.

KO

[EliteNinja]

From the clip, it definitely sounds like pans.

Maybe like pan means panning like a camera?

When I first saw your location message, I thought it refered to cooking.

I'm sure you could build a case for pans that could make sense too. At least you're not alone in not knowing what it says. I haven't seen the movie, maybe seeing it would help but that seems like a lot of work.

my case for pans was simply the idea of trying to make a puzzle with pans. because this thought rules.

think about it.

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and then you're like..

<font color="red">O- </font>
<font color="white">..</font> <font color="blue"> -O </font>

or

<font color="blue">O- </font>
<font color="white">..</font> <font color="red"> -O </font>

and then it is basically like

<font color="blue">O</font><font color="purple">-</font><font color="red">O </font>

like you might go one way or the other but either direction is really the same way so you shouldn't be afraid.

[kerssens]

also some pans can fit inside of other pans..the combinations are endless. are there other quotes that don't make a lot of sense in the movie?

yeah i thought about the other pan puzzle too, but i like mine better. this way you don't need multiple sizes. or maybe that is expected ?

hmm, not sure about other quotes from the movie, i can't think of any off hand. but it's definitely a movie that gets me thinking and feeling.

[lucas9000]

i haven't read the thread, but i think it's pans. i have no context for the sound clip, but my theory is that it's two guys talking to each other while they're panning for gold in a river. hence, pans.

Yeah...after watching the movie and watching that scene like 12 times I was *positive* he says 'pans.' You can see him mouth the 'P' and no 'T' so it seemed to rule out both pants and hands.

HOWEVER, I watched the director's commentary for that scene and at the end the guy says 'you know, it's like a puzzle with hands' and it was clearly pronounced.

The thing that baffles me most is the scene doesn't make a lick of sense whether he says 'pans,' 'pants,' or 'hands.'

/images/graemlins/confused.gif

WTF?!?!?!

So now I think he actually says 'pans' but was supposed to say 'hands.' I still don't get the saying at all...'it's a puzzle with hands.' I didn't miss something earlier in the movie where they talk about puzzles and hands, did I?!

Oh well.... /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

PS It's *definitely* NOT 'pants.'

yay pans ! hm, interesting about the directors commentary, i guess i never listened to that. i'll have to check it out.

did you mean that scene doesn't make sense, or that specific dialogue doesn't make sense ? the scene definitely makes sense to me. i love it. maybe because i'm a land dog and i feel him speaking to me. arf.

[The Yugoslavian]

The scene is fine...the one line though makes no sense to me at all /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

So you don't mind watching the water dog pass you by thinking, 'that's just a loser land dog'?

OK, I GOT IT, I got it.

It's definitely "Pans". First of all, the southern drawl clues you in to "Pans": he would have pronounced the "t" distinctly with that accent (unless he's a really bad actor, which is possible).

More significantly, the meaning: Pans have handles, but you are never really sure which way each pan points - ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAD A PUZZLE WITH PANS! Imagine a jigsaw puzzle full of pans - some would go "that way"; some would go "that way", but you would have a very difficult time knowing which direction each pointed! And if you flipped the puzzle upside down, they would all be pointing the other direction.
