Situation: Drehbuch, zwei israelische Soldaten reden beim Joggen über Mädels. Text:
"Jerry
… She is one of many, you know.
You have no idea how many are there.
David
Where is there?
Jerry
Funerals, Bro. Memorials.
David
You’re a sick man.
Jerry
That’s what she said.
David
Who, Anne?
Jerry
*Know your mama.*"
Meine Übersetzung: "Frag mal deine Mama". Davor gibt es eine ähnliche Stelle:
"They are standing on the path and pee.
David
Grandma, how come your dick is so big?
Jerry
Respect bro, respect.
David
How do girls withstand it?
They finish peeing and close their flies. They start running side by side, conversation is conducted as they are running.
Jerry
That is something you need to *ask your mother*.
David laughs humbly."

Genauere Erklärung: er behauptet scherzhaft ein Mädchen hätte zu ihm beim Sex "You're a sick man" gesagt. Der andere fragt "Wer, Anne?" und er antwortet ironisch: "Nee, deine Mutter!"

Discussion
1) I'm doing well
2) I've slept with your mother
3) You're stupid, don't you know? What do you think?
Die befragte Person hat die 3. Möglichkeit in diesem Kontext vorgeschlagen, und in dem Sinne passt "Nein, deine Mama", allerdings liegt kein Transkriptionsfehler oder Tippfehler vor.
