Now, I KNOW we are talking about the same scene. Syllables
stumbled over each other while he was spread over the table
looking very frustrated. I couldn't tell if I was watching a
general frustrated by the urgency of the situation, or an actor
frustrated by the expectation that he was supposed to pronounce
something he definitely did not understand and could not
remember. I even thought his eyes cut to someone off camera to
see if it was good enough "this time", but I'm sure that was
just my imagination.
