And now...the Galactic Pot Healer Babel Fish Game, Volume 2
The theme is Movie Scenes. Take a line or two from a movie, run it through the Babelfish translator to translate into another language, then translate it back to English. Post the result here, and we'll try to guess the movie!

Engorge your funny bone on the hilarity!

4. to portuguese and back
You do not carry through? The next time that you see the sky, will be on one another city. The next time that you makes examination of a test, will be in some another school. Our parents, want more better of the material for us. But right now, they had started to make what he is right for it. Because it is its time. Its time! Above of there! For low here, it is our time. It is our time for low here. That one is all excess as where we mount above of the bucket of Troy.
