An iconic courtroom scene between two unforgettable characters is translated by the panel complete with American accents. In this episode, the panel dust off their acting chops to recreate a dialogue scene between characters Colonel Nathan Jessop played by Jack Nicholson and Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee played by Tom Cruise in the movie A Few Good Men. The court scene creates this 'buzz' between the two main characters, but how will the hosts tackle this in their translations? The play was written by Aaron Sorkin and adapted to film by producer Rob Reiner. [Monday 18 September 2023, 05:00]

  • 1Whakamāori 2 E06: ‘A Few Good Men’ Iconic Movie Scene Nā Anaha Hiini ANAHA: COLONEL JESSUP! DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?! LEON: You don't have to answer that question! KIMO: I'll answer the question. You want answers?! ANAHA: I think I'm entitled to– KIMO: *You want answers*?! ANAHA: I WANT THE TRUTH! KIMO: *You can't handle the truth*! Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom! ANAHA: KĀNARA JESSUP! NĀU TONU TE WHAKAHAU WHERO I TONO?! LEON Ehara i te mea me whakautu (i tērā pātai)! KIMO: Ka whakautu tonu ahau. Kei te hia whakautu?! ANAHA: Ki taku mōhio e āhei ana i a au – KIMO: Kei te hia whakautu?! ANAHA: KIA PONO MAI! KIMO: Tē aro i a koe te pono! E tama, he tūwatawata e karapoti nei i te ao e noho nei tātau, ka mutu, me tiaki ērā tūwatawata e ngā tūtei me ā rātau pū. Mā wai e mahi? Māu rānei? Māu, Rūtene Weinberg? Kei tua kē o tāu e pohewa ai te haepapatanga kua tau ki a au! Nā Kimo Houltham You weep for Santiago and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know: That Santiago's death - while tragic - *probably* saved lives! And my existence - while grotesque and incomprehensible to you - *saves lives*! You don't want the truth, because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties... You *want* me on that wall. You *need* me on that wall. We use words like "honor", "code", "loyalty". We use this words as the backbone of a life spent *defending* something. You use them as a punchline! Ka tangi koe mō Santiago, ā, ka mākutuhia ngā Marines. Kei a koe taua mana. E waimarie ana koe I tō noho moho ki te matenga a Santiago, ahakoa tōna pouri, akene pea i ora ai te tangata. Taku tūnga I tēnei ao, ahakoa hakohako ana ki a koe, ka ora anō te tangata. Kāre koe I te hiahia ki taku pono, i te mea kei to iho e mōhio ana koe, Ka hia mai koe i a au ki taua tūwatawata e matea ana ki taua tūwatawata. Ka whakamahi koe i ngā kupu pēnei i te Hōnore, kawa, ngākau pono. Hei tuāpapa mō te tangata e ārai kehokeho ana i te Kaupapa. A koe, hei kata mā te marea. Nā Leon Blake I have neither the time, nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then *questions* the manner in which I provide it! I would rather you just said "thank you", and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post. *Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think you are entitled to*! [ANAHA] Did you order the code red? [Defendant] I did the job– [ANAHA] DID YOU ORDER THE CODE RED?! [Defendant] *YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT I DID*!! Kāore i a au te wā, te hiahia rānei ki te parahau i tāku ki te tangata ka oho ake, ka takoto iho hoki i te whāriki o te mataraharaha nāku tonu i raranga, ā, ka whakatara mai i te āhua o tāku i raranga ai. Ko te painga atu ia, ina mihi kē mai koe, ka hana atu ai. Hīkina rānei e koe tētahi patu, me tū rānei i tā te tūtei. Ahakoa rā, hei aha atu hoki māku tāu e pōhēhē nei me riro i a koe [Rōia] Nāu rānei te whakahau muna? [Kiripare] Nāku i tutuki ai – [Rōia] NĀU RĀNEI TE WHAKAHAU MUNA?! [Kiripare] *E MEA ANA HOKI KOE NĀ WAI!!
