Yes , I get that. But reading the French version of PS, I KNOW that
there are bits that haven't been translated out of that ( lots of
them ). And, while I'm at it, does Jo know about this ? I personally am
quite cross.  because I think that if someone is going to translate
something, they are duty bound to translate everything and paraprase
anything complicated.

That's what got me thinking about the moviebecause we don't really know
if there are bits of dialogue in the book that might be major plot
points for the whole story arc.

That's more my point.
