Listening Help
Hello. Could you help me make out what this Chinese guard says?
https://vocaroo.com/7a97RinT8CJ
Guard: We were waiting for Cheng Lan. Now we have to ???. It's another ???.
A bit of context: A group off Russian Cossacks attempts a stealth assault on a Chinese castle. The movie is set in the 18th century
Thank you!

Listening Help
Hello, this is a piece of dialogue between a ship captain and his potential assistant in an English-speaking movie. Could you help me transcribe it correctly, please?
https://voca.ro/kE3ivBTYAK4
Captain: Put it down.
(The sailor puts down the case of whiskey he's holding.)
Captain: Is this single-malt?
Sailor: Yes, sir.
Captain: So you know your whiskeys, do you?
Sailor: Yes, I do.
Captain: Pour me.
(The sailor pours whiskey for the captain.)
Captain: ???
(The captain takes a gulp of it.)
Captain: Are you?
(It looks like he wants the sailor to drink with him.)
The dialogue was a bit edited to remove all irrelevant background conversations, and that's why the sound of pouring whiskey is so short.
The most trouble gives me the part after the sailor's "Yes, I do." - the last three lines said by the captain. Does he say "Pour me. Pristine. Are you?"? If so, what is implied by "Are you?"
Thank you!

Can't get a good man these days under 60. All gone at least 35 years.
Hello.
in Jaws (1975), a shark fisherman says this to Brody, the Chief of Police, before they go hunting:
Quint: Can't get a good man these days under 60. All gone at least 35 years.
Could you tell me what he means? I find his lines very confusing.

"Batgirl" is not PC.
Hello. In Batman & Robin (1997), there is a scene where Batman (his real name is Bruce Wayne) and Robin meet Batgirl for the first time. So they don't know who she is, yet.
Batman: And you are?
Batgirl: Batgirl.
Batman: That's not awfully P.C. What about Batperson or Batwoman?
Batgirl: Bruce, it's me, Barbara. I found the batcave.
I know that PC stands for "Politically Correct" and I understand that it's a bit of a joke. What I don't understand, however, is that why Batgirl is not considered to be politically correct. Could you explain it to me, please?
Thank you.

I've got a secret: It's my copier
Hello.
In an American movie, during a photo session:
https://ibb.co/qWQc0Bv
Photographer: Okay, Gwen, I've got a secret: It's my copier.
Is the photographer asking Gwen to act as if she has a secret which is her (exceptionally good) copier?
Thank you!

When are you gonna give a guy a break?
Hello. In an American movie, two photographers, Brock and Parker, were tasked with delivering an incriminating photo of a hero. While Parker knows for sure there's no way to get such a photo (because the hero is all but a saint), Brock brings the photo and gets rewarded. Later Parker confronts him:
Brock: There's your hero.
Parker: I never thought he'd really do that.
Brock: See? Right there. You made a judgment call. You gotta see it as it is.
Parker: It's funny you should say that because I was looking through some old photos and it looks very similar...
Brock: Okay. Well, I gotta get back to work.
Parker: You're trash, Brock. Your picture's a fake. (Gives him a copy of the photo with some marks showing the photo was forged.)
Brock: Oh, Parker, you are such a boy scout. When are you gonna GIVE A GUY A BREAK?
Parker: You want forgiveness? Get religion.
I know the expression "give someone a break", but It's not clear to me who Brock means by "a guy" here. Himself? Parker? The hero?

a little something called Nice and Easy
Hello.
In an American movie, a new freelance photographer for a tabloid newspaper wants to see the editor-in-chief:
Secretary: He's busy.
Photographer: I'm just here to talk to you, beautiful.
Secretary: What's that smell?
Photographer: That's a little something called Nice and Easy. What's on you?
Secretary: It's called Go Away.
Obviously the photographer is flirting with the secretary. At this point I can't be sure what he smells like but it's probably pungent, as a few moments later the editor notices it too. So I wonder if you could explain to me the joke in this dialogue. What does he mean by "a little something called Nice and Easy."
Thank you.

you have had some doozies
Hello.
In an American movie, after a CEO assistant for a newspaper called The Daily Bugle presented a new slogan (https://www.italki.com/question/503949):
CEO: Get out! That is the dumbest idea you've ever had, and you have had some doozies.
Could you explain the meaning of "you have had some doozies", please? Does CEO say that the assistant has had some bright ideas in the past, or is it something else?
Thank you.

circulation at the Bugle
Hello.
In an American movie, a CEO assistant for a newspaper called The Daily Bugle presents a new slogan.
Assistant: "Daily Bugle. It's Hip. It's Now. It's Wow and How." Just something the boys in the Ad Department and I whipped up. As you know, circulation at the Bugle's been pretty good. Though not as good as The New York Times, or the Daily News, or the Post, several other smaller...
CEO: Get on with it, you moron...!
Perhaps, I'm missing something here but why did the assistant use "circulation AT the Bugle"? Why didn't he say "circulation OF the Bugle"?
Thank you.
