Maybe they thought it was a bit leaky and skewed, not a right angle in sight, but no one had the guts to tell Eastwood :)

The way Hackman cuts up his words is amazing. He swallows some of them, and ends others rather abruptly, with a shifting cadence that keeps us on our feet.

Ooh, that's good to know!

Howdy/Hola. How did you like this latest episode of The Bridge?

It's not like I could say Austrian or German or Swiss, but there's definitely something going on.

I take it that Sonya's arc has been that she has learned to be more flexible—more like Marco when he let what's-her-face's ambulance cross the border at the very beginning.
