Michael: [Hyper] It must be the weekend! ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/froehlich/d025.gif) Kind-of sort of, not really. I think the part you're looking for is #54. ![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/midi/frech/g042.gif) Um... technically... it started with the bounce, then lead to that. True. Then again, Lois bounced into the office, or onto him, in Alt-Clark’s case. LOIS: Well, this explains why you don't have a past, but you do realize that everyone in Smallville now knows I'm married to Superman, right?

Yes, there are many French originated words in the English language, most of which I have to spell check, because I'm constantly misspelling them.  faux pas, rendezvous, derrière. Of course, this means nothing, because I often misspell words in English as well.  Fiance and fiancee are the ones that comes to my mind the fastest. They also are among the few that are generally differentiated by gender in the French manner. Intellectual historians love to use French terms for all sources of things. At times I think it gets excessive.

but with the actors speaking French (do you use the word "doublage"?). In English this is generally refered to as dubbing. If I remember correctly in "Just Say Noah" Lois makes a comment about this being done very poorly on Japanese films.

In Portuguese was made this same mistake. I just found out when I got to read the scripts. It didn't make sense that Lois would want a teddy bear in her honeymoon, but it was what aired.  Actually what would not make sense would be Clark's extremely fast and enthusiastic getting of the bag with that item. The teddy comes up again in either "Faster than a Speeding Vixen" or "Shadows of the Past", when they are packing to go to the news conference and Clark says he has room for it in his bag even if Lois doesn't.

No, I don't think so. No problem, Virginia. I'll write in English. Or at least, I'll try to: sorry for the mistakes. Trust me, you make less English mistakes than I do, and it's my native tongue. And speaking of mistakes, the funniest mistake I ever saw was in the French translation of the show L&C.

In Soul Mates (I think), Lois speaks about the black teddy Clark bought her. The translator was certainly tired, VERY tired because we sometimes use the English word "teddy" fot this sort of lingerie. And he translated it with the word "nounours".... and this word means "teddy bear"!
So, I thought that it was the black and white teddy bear that Clark won for Lois in Smallville. Sure, I was a little surprised: why did Lois want this teddy bear for her wedding night. It was cute, but....  Well, LnC were going to have a much more innocent honeymoon than we were led to believe. Clearly the dubbers weren't watching the show or they'd have said something about the error.

The same mistake in two languages?? Hmmmm. I'm thinking that the mistake must have originated back in Hollywood.

LANA: He was CHEATING on me with that brunette skank! Long time since. Tired. Stuff… Well, let's see if you notice... well, I won't say anymore. Nobody else caught it either, not even my Betas. We'll see.  Yeah, those things are bad. I own a Return of the Jedi novelization where they did a literal translation of Yoda's 'there's another Sky...Sky...Skywalker'. Not funny. Sounds hilarious! LUKE: Crazy old Jedi, why is he talking to me about the sky?

CLARK: What can I say? I like girls who bounce. /watches as Clark gets distracted by the Baywatch opening credits/ quote: EW: But, technically, THAT Walt didn't rape Rachel, or he'd already be dead.
ER: Aren’t those details?
Are they? Sorry, your honor, that should have read "alledgedly raped Rachel". Also, as far as Clark knows Walt is still alive and kicking in alt-dimension. No, I meant who cares if he did it. He’s still a bad guy and works great as target practice. quote:HANK: What? It’s better than not have her at all.
CLARK: That's debateable. Yah yah yah, Mr. Big City Buck Shot. Out here in the boonies, we take what we can get into our beds. RACHEL: I would think so. And yet, I never got chocolate’s form him on subsequent Valentine’s Days. quote: Throws condom onto bed and locks Lois and Clark in bedroom. Only one way to find out [Evil]
Nine months later, Lois is released and arrested for the disappearance of fameous FDKer. Michael
