Lost in Translation...

Some things translate across the screen perfectly no matter what language it's in. I watched this clip as posted by sporkyadrasteia at LiveJournal, and asked her to translate for me and give me some context. Turns out it was about what I thought it was. Regardless, violence is always, always funny, especially when it's girls versus boys and the girls kick ass.



What sporky told me:

All these girls are members of the Indian National Field Hockey team which gets no funding and the girls didn't get along as a team because they're from vastly different cultures and regions of India. They get along even less with the new coach and kind of conspire to get him to resign, which he does. He invites the team and the other team managers to McDonald's for one last treat as a courtesy and they basically get into this fight.

1:30- He's telling then to just wait a sec because he wants to see how the girls react to the crazy pervy boys.

2:38- That boy was going to hit the girl with the cricket bat while her back was turned so the coach pushes him back and tells him that doing that would only make him a coward. He says all these girls here are hockey players and that "there are no cowards in hockey". :D

3:12 - The old manager is saying "Are these girls a team or a band of rakshasas [Hindu mythological demons]?" and the coach replies that this is a good thing and that this is the first time that he's seen the girls work cohesively as a team. :D

Meanwhile, all the girls are basically saying variants of "TAKE THAT, YOU PERV!!" but I hope that sentiment travels well across linguistic barriers. ;)
