English term or phrase: munk ou munck
Pessoal, a atriz Katharine Hepburn está falando com o Nick Nolte e diz:
"Seymour, I could have killed myself. I could be lying dead down there in a MUNK"
Eu desconheço a palavra MUNK e não entendo o que ela quer dizer nessa fala.
A situação é a seguinte: Ela ia se suicidar, jogando-se do alto de um prédio de 21 andares. Ela ia fazer isso pois achou que o Seymor (Nick Nolte) matou um taxista insuportável a pedido dela. Mas depois se arrependeu e não queria mais que ele morresse.
Mas o Seymour chega a tempo de impedir que ela se jogue e confessa que não matou o taxista. Ele atirou no táxi mas errou o alvo. Portanto o taxista continua vivo.
É nesse momento que ela diz a fala supra citada.
Poderiam me dizer o que significa: IN A MUNK? (não sei se é assim que se escreve esta palavra). Não há legenda, eu tive que extrair as falas escutando o áudio do filme.
Obrigado!
