Again, thank you for the answer! You're very kind, and I've learnt something new today too. Do you know from which part of Sweden your grandmother come? We live about 50 km outside of Stockholm on the countryside, only surrounded by fields and quite a few mooses. Yes, I like the Magnum series althou...

A new q from Swedish translator

Hello again, this time I'm translating Ep "Let Me Hear the Music" and the country singer Lacy is annoying Magnum because he's constantly singing country music. Magnum: Could we just take a break? Lacy: Hey, break (or brake) ball don't have to fall on me. I think he says that at least. The script is ...

Again, thank you for your prompt answer and a long and interesting explanation! I think though Gillis uses the word here both in reference to what you said and fish.

Thank you for your explanations, mrs Golfmobile! Much appreciated. I have one more thing to ask about (Ep Luther Gillis). Luther G says about Warren Brummer (who worked as a watchman at the docks): "I think he was working for scale." Then he laughs. Does he mean scale as in those on a fish? Kindest,...

Thank you! In the episode about Tran Quoc, the boy talks about a "Tai Chi tough" at 08:14, according to the script. Does he really say that and what does it mean?

And the phrase "Stuff it, Scrungo" in the beginning of "Luther Gillis"... What does it refer to?

Tia yet again, Katarina

Magnum Season 5 - qs from a Swedish translator

Hello, would it be possible to ask a few questions about some episodes from Season 5? The script isn't totally reliable, and then there are some lines I simply don't understand.
