11 hrs confidence: 
wieloryb w pokoju Explanation: Tak proponuję, ponieważ: 1. w kontekście czytamy "babka jest gruuuba"; 2. kobieta wzięła zdanie do siebie: What the hell you just call me? = np. Jak o mnie mówisz, do cholery?; 3. "Wieloryb" jest często spotykanym określeniem grubych osób. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 godz.

Kwestia większego kontekstu: rodzaj filmu (komedia czy dramat serio serio), mimika aktorów, itp. |
