Hello, Zack—and welcome to English Forums.

It is unfair to expect others to transcribe 30 seconds of dialog, which is quite long and time-consuming. If there is a word or two that you cannot understand, then post the YouTube link and a specific range, like 00:31 — 00:37.

CSnyder · Answer

In principle, I heartily second Mr. M's recommendation that you not ask for such large chunks of dialogue at a time, and that you pick a particular section that you find particularly confusing. You might also try transcribing it yourself and post what you hear to be checked.

In this particular instance, I will transcribe it for you, but only because I often enjoy doing it. I will abbreviate by the actors' last name initial - C for Cheadle and S for Snipes - because I do not know the characters' names.

Also, a word of warning to the reader: the dialogue that follows contains language that would widely be considered, at best, unsuitable for polite company. I have attempted to reproduce the dialect more or less phonetically, not obeying the rules of written English. Read at your own risk.

Beginning at 0:29:

S: Hey, whatchu know about IRAs, man?
C: Talkin' bout Ira that dance down at Sue's Rendezvous, got them big ole *******, nipples look like Tootsie Rolls 'n' s***?
S: Nah, man, come on, IRAs, man --
C: I know whatchu mean, I. R. A.s --
S: Stocks 'n' --
C: Yeah
S: Yeah
C: Naw, I don't know nothin' 'bout that s***. Tryin' to get a plan together, some long-term thing?
S: Got to, man. S***, life is too short, time is too precious...Risk are too motherf***in' high.

Transcription ends at 0:59.
