Hi Diamondrg,
the problem is that dowloading the files takes too much time for non-registered users. That website makes you wait  a lot of time (I can't download now for example, it says "too many downloads, wait two minutes or try again later). Isn't there another way to upload your files?

Anyway, I've found this
http://www.lost-tv.com/transcripts/Pilot_Lost.htm
It seems the answers are "a few just happened" and "shredded", but I guess you already have some kind of transcript or subtitles, but it seems they say something different... is that the problem? Sorry but I couldn't download the files, so I didn't hear what they say. Smile [:)]

Hi,
are you watching that on DVD? DivX? Do you have the subtitles? I just checked www.divxsubtitles.net , there are a lot of subtitles and they are usually ripped from the original DVDs (it's a good website, you don't need to register, you can login as "demo"). I downloaded the subtitles from there, and they say "I think it just happened" and "shredded", but they just say "I'm eight months" instead of "I'm nearly eight months".

Well, you know what? I got curious and succeeded in downloading the first video. My listening skills are not good at all, but since I'm here, I'll give you my opinion:

I think she says "I think it just happened". If she said "A few" I think I would hear the "you" sound in "few" (f-you). Plus, I can't understand that "I'm nearly eight months", I think it's more similar to "I'm nearly NINE months".

As I told you, my listening skills suck, so I think you need to wait for a native speaker now. Smile [:)]
