Más sobre los honeymooners

Desde que publicamos la escena de la película de Billy Wilder, varias personas han manifestado su interés por obtener el archivo de los subtítulos. Para darles mayor difusión, en lugar de mandarlos por mail cada vez, lo mejor es hacerlos accesibles aquí mismo, en el blog. En primer lugar, la transcripción en inglés, que está basada en los subtítulos del dvd:

Isn't that what you always say?6700:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000SH: Always!6800:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,000Dr.W: Be careful not to touch anything.

Since we're at sea, and since I assume the culprit is not amphibious, it stands to reason that he's still on board.12000:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,000SH: Irrefutable.12100:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,000Dr.W: But where?12200:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000He can't be a member of the crew.

What you have failed to consider, my dear Holmes, is that he could be a stowaway.12700:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,000SH: I tip my fez to you.12800:08:35,000 --> 00:08:36,000Dr.W: So!12900:08:36,000 --> 00:08:44,000He sneaks aboard, spies on them, learns that between bouts of lovemaking they have lashings of champagne.13000:08:44,000 --> 00:08:48,000And then, last nigt... 13100:08:48,000 --> 00:08:54,000But how does a stowaway lay his hands on belladonna? I'm a doctor and I don't normally carry it.13200:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000However, you know who would have an unlimited supply available to him?13300:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,000An eye-doctor.13400:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,000SH: Eye-doctor?13500:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000Dr.W: They use belladonna to dilate the pupils.13600:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000SH: That must be it!13700:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,000Dr.W: Which leaves us with only one problem unresolved...13800:09:09,000 --> 00:09:13,000that business with the swizzle sticks.

En cuanto a la traducción al español, estoy muy contento con ella; he intentado mantener el estilo engolado de los diálogos originales, propio de la era victoriana y la efectividad de los chistes y pienso que lo he conseguido. Pese a ello, y al cuidado con el que la revisé varias veces, fue publicada originalmente con un par de erratas; ya las he corregido. La más llamativa era el título; me gustaba llamar a la escena «El horrible asunto de los recién casados durmientes», aunque era consciente es, en realidad «El horrible asunto de los recién casados desnudos». Tenía "el mío" en la cabeza y al final, tan concentrado como estaba en el cuerpo del texto, se me coló. Afortunadamente es de lo más sencillo modificar un archivo str; quí está:
