Voila! Finally, the Lost In Translation
script is here for all you quotes spouting fans of the movie directed by Sofia Coppola and
starring Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray. This script is a transcript that was painstakingly
transcribed using the screenplay and/or viewings of Lost In Translation. I know, I know, I still need to get the cast names in there and I'll be eternally
tweaking it, so if you have any corrections, feel free to
drop me a line. You won't
hurt my feelings. Honest.

Did you ever wonder
what your purpose in life is?
This book is about finding
your soul's purpose or destiny.
Every soul has its path,
but sometimes that path is not clear.
The Inner Map Theory
is an example ofhow each soul
begins with an imprint,
all compacted into a pattern
that has been selected by your soul...
before you've even gotten here.
[ Woman ]
You know, I guess the reason
why I likeJapan the best...
out of all Asian countries...
is because I really feel
close to, um, Buddhism.
I really feel--
I really believe in reincarnation.
That's part of what drew me
to Midnight Velocity as well,
because although Keanu dies,
he eventually
gets reincarnated.
So there's hope--
There's hope in reincarnation, I think.
[ Reporter ]
What was it like working
with Keanu Reeves?
He was always so--
He was always, you know,
giving me ideas...
and, you know, really helpful.
He made me feel
really comfortable, so--
And we both have two dogs,
and we both live in L.A.,
so we have all these
different things in common.

really like Mexican food...
and yoga and...

they put poison in the food.
So they would always

Last weekend,
I went surfing.
Right.
About seven people,you know.
Some friends.
And we camp over there
on the beach.
[ Laughing ]
In fact, we made a kind of--
Wait. What kind
of weed is it?
I don't know.
Baby, when I saw you turnin'
at the end of the street
I knew our time was gone
Into blank pages
Just understand I was afraid
to be a simple guy
I tried my best to smile
But deep inside my heart
I felt like the shell
that a crab comes in
I guess I couldn't
live without things
A fascist regime
It made you a moron
Apotential H-bomb
God save the queen
She ain't no human being
There's no future

As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' for light
in the darkness
[ Cheering ]

I ask myself
Is all hope lost
Is there only pain
And hatred
And misery
And each time
I feel like this inside
There's one thing
I want to know
What's so funny 'bout
peace, love and understanding
[ Cheering ]
Ohh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
What's so funny 'bout
peace, love and understanding
I'm winkin' at ya
Gonna make you, make you
make you notice
Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my
[ Charlie ]
My, my, my
Imagination, oh-ohh
'Cause I'm
Gonna make you see
Nobody else here
No one like me
- I'm special
- [ Falsetto ] Special

Special?
I gotta have some of your
Attention
Give it to me
[ Pop ]
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Bob Harris.
Thanks. This is hard.
[ Clears Throat ]
Oh,Jesus.
I could feel at the time
There was no way of knowing
Fallen leaves in the night
Who can say
where they're blowin'
As free as the wind
Hopefully learnin'
Why the sea on the tide
Has no way of turnin'
More than this
You know there's nothing

Hello, Bob.

Hey,you know, those carpet samples--
you were right about the burgundy.
It wasn't even close.
Blows the others away.
I'm glad you like it.
I saw a great house tonight
that you would've loved, and...
that burgundy would've been good
in this house, really.
Really?
A guy designed his own house
and built it.
Oh, yeah? I wish I'd seen it.
He's a fashion guy.
All these fashion people were there.
And, uh, there were
Japanese surfers there,
and the guy was playing
really, really, really great music.
I should've found out what it was
and brought some--
I'll bring some back.
I'll try to find out.
That sounds great.
Can you hold on?
[ Girl Crying ]
You have to have something
for breakfast.
Do you want some cereal?
Tell her I said she's gotta eat something.
I'm just trying to get her
to eat something.
Yeah. Tell her I said
she has to eat something.
Your dad says eat something.
No.
Eat. Tell her I said so.
She won't eat anything.
Forget it.
Look, I'm glad you're having fun.
It's not fun. It's just--
It's just very, very different.
Maybe that's good.
Um, I have to get
the kids off for school, okay?
So, can I call you in a while?
I might not be up.
It's-It's, like, : .
Well, you better get some sleep.
You have work in the morning.
No, actually,
they gave me tomorrow off.
That must be nice. Hmm.

I mean, I guess have a great morning, huh?

Good night, Bob.

[ Phone Clicks Off, Dial Tone ]
I love you.
That was a stupid idea.
I was feeling tight,
you know?
Mm-hmm.
Shoulders and neck.
Mm-hmm.
So I called down
and, and had a, uh,
shiatsu massage
in my room.
Mmm, that's nice.
And the tightness has
completely, uh, disappeared...
Mmm.
and been replaced by...
unbelievable pain.
Just staggering,
unbearable pain.
Ooh, that's too bad.
Yeah.
I'm in pain.
I got my foot banged up, and--
Wanna see it?
[ Grunts ]
How do you say no?
Oh, my gosh.
I know.
That's-- How--
When did you do this?
I did it the other day.
It hurts, you know?
Didn't you feel any pain?
Your--
Yeah, it really hurt.
It was--
Yeah. That toe is almost dead.
I gotta take you to a doctor.
You can't, uh,just put that
back in the shoe.
No. I don't think so.
Well, you either go to a doctor,
or you leave it here.
[ Chuckling ]
He's smiling.
You like that idea?
See, they love black toe
over in this country.
You got a sharp knife?
Gotta be, you know, in this country--
somebody's gotta prefer a black toe.
Uh, "brack" toe.
Or we should probably hang around
until someone orders it.
Hey, what's with the straight face?

I tried being a writer, but...
I hate what I write.
And I tried taking pictures,
but they're so mediocre,

I'm not worried about you.
Keep writing.
But I'm so mean.

Yeah?
What about marriage?
Does that get easier?
That's hard.
We used to have
a lot of fun.
Lydia would come with me
when I made the movies,
and we would laugh
about it all.
Now she doesn't want
to leave the kids, and...
she doesn't...
need me to be there.
The kids miss me,
but they're fine.
It gets a whole lot more complicated
when you have kids.
Yeah. It's scary.
It's the most terrifying day of your life
the day the first one is born.
Yeah. Nobody ever tells you that.
Your life,
as you know it,
is gone.
Never to return.
But they learn how to walk,
and they learn how to talk, and...
and you want to be with them.
And they turn out to be the most...
delightful people...
you will ever meet in your life.
Hmm, that's nice.
Where'd you grow up?
Um, I grew up in New York,
and I moved to Los Angeles
when John and I got married.
But it's so different there.
Yeah, I know.
John thinks I'm so snotty.
