What does Bill Murray whisper in Lost in Translation?
Director Sofia Coppola maintains Bill Murray’s last line in Lost in Translation was unscripted and no one knows what he said, including her. In 2007, Entertainment Weekly claimed that they had deciphered it using digital processing: ‘I have to be leaving, but I won’t let that come between us, okay?’ Coppola explained to Little White Lies in 2018: ‘Luckily I did it without a studio so we were able to just make it how I wanted. That thing Bill whispers to Scarlett was never intended to be anything. I was going to figure out later what to say and add it in and then we never did. It was between them. Just acknowledging that week meant something to both of them and it affects them going back to their lives. People always ask me what’s said. I always like Bill’s answer: that it’s between lovers – so I’ll leave it at that.’

But if you can get the ice in it, you can drink it supremely cold and at the same time you’re getting the melting ice, so it’s like a hydration level, and you can stay at this great level for a whole weekend.’
