Does anyone know what the Merovingian was saying in French? or know a link that can translate it?

It's like 20 swear words in a row, but somehow in a coherent sentence.  I knew someone who speaks French and considered it amazing.

According to the website at http://reaincalgary.blogspot.com/ , the Merovingian says

Nom de Dieu de putain de bordel de merde de saloperie de connard d'enculé de ta mère.

Which translates as:

"Name of God, of whore, of brothel, of s**t, of filth, of jerk, of arse-f**king, of your mother."

I ran it through Altavista Babelfish and got the same answer except that they translated enculé as "a***ole".
Sorry for all the swering in this post, but I guess the phrase "Excuse my French" can be very appropriately applied to this.

I saw this film on opening day.

Maybe I missed this part but who or what the heck is the Merovingian??

I don't recall anyone speaking in French at all during the film.

Who is it and what scene?

Merovingian is the lucky sap who is married to Persephone (Monica Belucci).  He's the guy that Neo & company had to meet to try to get ahold of the Key Maker.

That's exactly what I said after paying good cash money to see this movie.

"Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me the hell alone."

Now how the hell could I have missed this one!

I saw it in the theater & I must not have been paying attention.

Maybe it was that joint I smoked in the car sitting outside the theater that made me forget!

Hehe!  Just kidding!

While on a journey, Chuang Tzu found an old skull, dry and parched.
With sorrow, he questioned and lamented the end of all things.
When he finished speaking, he dragged the skull over and, using it for a pillow, lay down to sleep.
In the night, the skull came to his dreams and said, 'You are a fool to rejoice in the entanglements of life.'
Chuang Tzu couldn`t believe this and asked, 'If I could return you to your life, you would want that, wouldn`t you?'
Stunned by Chuang Tzu`s foolishness, the skull replied, 'How do you know that it is bad to be dead?'

"un bordel" actually means "a f**king mess", and can be a very, very useful phrase

The movies were crappy. I left the theatre in both part 2 and 3's showings. The only one which is of value is part 1.
