What does that mean? It's not a very good translation. No, there's nothing wrong with the translation. Matthew's not that fluent. And it's Cantonese. Just go with it and fill in the blanks. And action.

[Fletcher] That is not a smart move. Don't tell me what a smart move is. [Fletcher] I beg for your pardon. You heard me perfectly well. There will be repercussions for Michael's actions. You think you're running things, do you?

- What does "mouse hair" mean? - Yeah, I think what he means is don't jeopardize my deal, but I admit that one's a bit of a googly. Then Matthew loses it a bit and his translation goes completely out of the window. Something about springtime and sweaters. I think what he means is he's upset. And then Dry Eye says something, but some cunt moved in front of me, so I didn't get that either. Your Cantonese is dog shit, so I'm gonna say this in English and I'm gonna say it once, so listen to me, Rubenstein.

Not all of that was clear, Fletcher. I mean, according to you, we already know Matthew wants to buy Michael out.

[Fletcher] So Dry Eye got the upgrade he was after, didn't he, Raymond? The question is, what was he gonna do with it now that he's Billy Big Bollocks? Give me ten minutes, Ray.
