			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I always feel a little excluded and cheated when I'm watching a movie scene that involves a foreign language, but no translation subtitles are provided. Case in point, this morning I lay awake watching the second half of <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120815/">Saving Private Ryan</a>. I'm not a big fan of war stories, but the "Knife Fight" scene stuck with me for a while.</p>
<p>I figured I would have to dig around for the translation of the script that I was curious about, but suprisingly the third result of my Google search for "<a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=saving+private+ryan+knife+stab+german">saving private ryan knife stab german</a>" provided the answer.</p>
<p>The scene is <a href="http://www.moviedeaths.com/saving_private_ryan/private_stanley_mellish/">The death of Private Stanley Mellish</a> (Adam Goldberg) - <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuxpSSJBwW0" title="Saving Private Ryan - Knife Fight">watch it on YouTube</a>. It's much better in context (with Upham just metres away on the staircase), which I've removed from the below commentary:</p>
<blockquote><p>As the final battle wages on, Mellish is fighting one-on-one against a German soldier. The German slowly gains the upper hand. Mellish pulls out a knife, but the German is too strong, and pushes Mellish's hand backwards, pointing the blade towards the American's chest. Mellish starts to beg. "Wait a minute. Wait a minute".</p>
<p>The German slowly pushes the knife into Mellish's chest, quietly whispering something in German, which translates as "Give up, you don't stand a chance! Let's end this here; it will be easier for you like this!".</p>
<p>Mellish shakes as his life leaves him and the German leaves the room.</p></blockquote>
<p>Mellish also screams "<span class="quote">Wait what's that mean? What's that mean?! STOP!!</span>" which left me wondering myself.</p>
<p>If you have time to waste check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2El7BFm04Y">Saving Private Ryan vs Finding Nemo</a>. It's funny and a lot less serious. <span class="quote">Buuubbbllessss! Bubbbllless!!</span></p>
