I know, right? Now tell your friends!

      What in the world were they saying? I definitely heard something about Elton John. And she said “fucking” at one point. But the tearless stare was right on point. But seriously, gibberish.

      It’s weird, because the music and the apartment and the style of the film and acting — right down to the broken woman staring tearlessly — were all *extremely* European.

    • KarmaHunter a year ago

      Spanish is my first language…and when I tune out and just not pay attention to someone speaking in English it does kind of sound like this…also, for some weird reason this video is creeping me out.

      she definitely said “you fucking asshole.”

      I don’t know what the hell happened, but when you bring out a sparkler pineapple, you win the argument.

    • samuelw4 a year ago

      Foreigners? Really?

    • neptuny a year ago

      There were no squirrels at all in this film.

    • Sounds like English to me. Just randomized, that’s all. Oh, and that guy looks somewhat like Joel McHale.

    • David G. a year ago

      So what happened was she made him a nice dinner, but he dropped the bomb that he cheated on her because he knew she was sleeping with his brother, who owns the produce store. But it turned out she was actually at the store buying pineapples for his birthday cake.
