In English, I mean fucking kids, you got to go, what the fuck? Ah yes, the usual suspects directed by Brian Singer that went on to win Kevin Spacey, a Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1996, but fun fact about this scene and Benicio Dutero's performance in the film overall. Just before production started, he came to Brian Singer and said, "I just realized that my character doesn't say anything worth listening to and is pretty much just there to die." Brian Singer was worried that he was going to quit and leave the project, because he was right, his character pretty much just existed to die. So Brian started spinning it, and was like, "No, he does matter because you know this and that." Benicio was like, "No, no, I'm just saying, if it doesn't matter what I say, do you care if you can understand me?" Brian Singer's like, "What do you mean?" He said, "Well, I had this idea that my character kind of mumbles and then he did it and Brian Singer was like, uh, yes, do that." But the cast was not aware of this, so the first time they heard him do it was in that lineup scene. So in the lineup, he delivers it it that way and everyone starts laughing, that's actually the cast really laughing because they didn't know what was going on.
