I suppose you’re right. It was just kinda jarring. Comically, but still a little jarring, mainly because I’d never noticed it before watching the movie with subtitles. I was all “Linguini, I never knew!”
And thanks to subtitles, we can now understand Colette. Yaaay. We need no longer be thwarted by her tendency to not enunciate.

Oh crud, I meant what she said when she stabs Alfredo’s sleeves with the knives. Because that was probably what Kageri meant. sorry. But thanks for the extras~!
Easy. Once you have the whole movie memorized perfectly (or as perfectly as possible), just go through it in your head and fast forward everyone else’s lines. I almost included some of Linguini’s lines in that, though.
I just noticed that while the screenplay PDF is still online, the link to it from the Ratatouille section of disneystudiosawards.movies.go.com/ has been removed.
