So, what did Bill Murray whisper into Scarlett Johanson's ear during the final scene from Lost In Translation?

Lost In Translation is one of my favourite movies of all time, and certainly my no. 1 of the last decade.

Some dude has done some work to clean out the background noise to detect the previously unknown snippet which the Bill Murray character whispered in Scarlett Johansson's ear during the final scene of the flic. Do not click if it's going to spoil the ending for you. Here it is on Youtube.  Look and listen.

A mystery solved.

You may also like to know that the result from the audio analysis is NOT the line in Sofia Coppola's shooting draft script for the movie.

And here's a verbatim transcript of the movie dialogue.  Of course the inaudible line is not included.

I need to watch that movie again. When I originally watched it, I could take it or leave it. To me, Japan is the star of the movie. It will go back on the list of things to watch in the next few months.
