Rod Extreme! Ocean’s Thirteen mis-subtitled

Ocean’s Thirteen co-star David PaymerEngrish in translation
Ocean’s Thirteen: pirated in Germany, subtitles added for Chinese and Korean street markets… and bizarrely in English.

Dig this scene, in which David Paymer (as a quality reviewer) tries to get a table at the casino’s Italian restaurant — it’s almost intelligible.

Actual Subtitled
Paymer: Hello Hello
I’d like a table for one I want to set a table
I hear your risotto is tremendous I heard you were pretty good here
Host: It is tremendous really this is the President
The name on the reservation? minute I saw no one set it down
Paymer: I’m a walk in. I was in here
Host: I’m sorry, sir, I can’t accommodate you. Excuse me, Mr. I can not provide to you.
(Paymer looks around at empty tables)
Host: Those are reserved how that
May I recommend one of our other restaurants? Why not consider other restaurant?
Ling Su, Cantonese-inspired Szechuan cuisine very delicate environment
sexy hospitality
Paymer: Great Rod extreme

Shortly afterwards, the subs degrade into meaningless non-sequiturs, when the dialogue gets confusingly techspeaky during a telephone call between Brad Pitt (”Rusty Ryan”) and Don Cheadle (”Basher Tarr”):

Actual Subtitled
Ryan: Yeah? Take it easy. What’s the problem? I was out what happened
Tarr: The tri-code optimizer that feed into the nipple-sleeve receivers perforated their lubricating bladders and began pressing against the sidewalls. could not believe
This is simply arbitrary shape
We must re-ordering
Do you think it
Picture a knee, but without any cartilage, bone on bone I pulled right
optimistic about the waiters
There’s a shearing effect with alloy of a different density or grade This is no different from
Rod extremely waiter
Ryan: Becomes magnetized, reverse polarization, I know. Where does that put us? Do not panic waiter
I just do not see
Tarr: Cattled really fucking

Leastwise the translator got the gist of “cattled.”
