[REFERENCE] Trailer #2 - Transcript / Auido Analysis

[Polar Bear]

Are the two Solider guys the same (they seem like different scenes)

and
was that carrage with the white horse empty?

My memory from seeing the trailer and from now watching the poorly captured version is that before the windows explode, who ever the guy was talking to (my memory is that it was a girl and he wasn't saying Rob Rob... he was saying something else... could be wrong on that point... can't remember clearly).... he didn't say "It's alive".... he said "It's alright." (I do remember that pretty clearly though).

Seriously, makes a lot more sense in the context of that seen... ya know... irony and all.

And they STILL don't tell us who is playing Jamie! Maybe she isn't even in the movie???

I listened to the Quicktime version of the convenience store scene again through headphones and my ears hear the following dialogue, however, I can't parse out who is saying what:

(monster roar)
Rob
come inside
I need to go to my car
Rob, Rob
It's alive

The word "go" above might also be heard as "get".

The word "car" might also be heard as "cart" or "card". Given how few New Yorkers have cars, maybe one of the other interpretations is more likely.

"It's alive" makes no sense given the context, as others have stated. I'm not sure what he actually says, though.

Ok... based on DougBThree's comments, I now think he's saying "It's a loss"

(monster roar)
Rob, come inside
I need to go to my car
Rob, Rob
It's a loss


Also, instead of "... pointing that camera ...", that guy is saying: "turn that camera [off]"

[eliwein]

Lily doesn't say "What was that" after the buzzing, its marlene
and the carriage part, rob sounds the the first speaker, hud the second... just because hud fell down doesn't mean he's dead, nor is there any reason to believe the shots are in any order if he is dead.

Thanks for the tags SpaceBass... i was going to put some, but I couldn't decide. I think I was going to go with [NEW][SPEC], but I like [REF]!

I don't think [meta] is appropriate, based on the guidelines:

OK, I spent some more time under the headphones on our convenience store scene, this time using the new "brighter" version of the trailer linked from this thread: http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=22020

The audio seems a little clearer and now what I hear is different:

(monster roar)
Rob, it's back
Rob, I saw it
Rob, Rob, it's alive

Pretty different from my earlier interpretation, I know, but that's what I hear. I realize there's a lot of skepticism on the word "alive", but FWIW that's what it sounds like to me.

I went back to the Quicktime version to compare, and I now hear it similarly there, but with one exception. For the second line, instead of "Rob, I saw it", in that version I hear "I know, I saw it".

I'm thinking maybe the different versions are picking up different parts of the stereo spectrum (or of the 5.1 mix), and as we saw from the breakdown of the audio tracks in the teaser, you can certainly get different pieces of the dialogue depending on which track you listen to. Maybe we'll be able to resolve this after getting the official HD trailer.
