Soooo um.

I made a transcript for Takin' Over the Asylum.



Took me a while. Isn't perfect. Is hopefully good enough to be going on with. I am only an (American) egg. Please don't hit or yell. *scuttles out with a Zoidberg noise*

You are made of awesomesauce. (Do the kids still say that? :D)

I'm not an authority, since often I am telling the kids to get off my lawn (and go vote), but I still say it, so it works for me :)

Thank you thank you thank you! You mentioned this a little while ago and I've been waiting for it oh so eagerly! :) I have a lot of problems understanding what they say sometimes, so this is really going to help! I also am writing a fic that would really benefit from understanding the Glaswegian dialect, so I am also grateful for that reason.

Yay!

If you're trying to write real dialect this probably isn't near heavy enough to use as a study aid - in fact, the fact that I normalized some bits of spelling for ease of reading might lead you a little astray. I think Jim Garrety's accent is probably the most pronounced and I've seen Youtube videos with way more impenetrable ones. A lot of the English is quite standard (albeit accented, of course) with some quirks of usage here and there. The trouble with understanding Campbell is partly his motormouth and partly that is sounds like microphones weren't always picking him up optimally.

Oh, no, I'm looking for a light accent, just enough to indicate that the character is Scottish and speaks differently from the English characters around him, and maybe a couple of choice words here and there.

And so far, I'm very much enjoying reading through and remembering the show. :) Thank you!

Eeep, still... I'm glad you're enjoying it, but exercise caution. I know I was just doing my best to record what I heard, but still I'd be too afraid of having Done It All Wrong by virtue of being too American, yanno?
