Line I can't understand

Hey guys

This is driving me mental - in the press conference scene, Lestrade says "Well, don't commit suicide!" in answer to a reporter, and Sally Donovan mutters something at him in, I presume, warning. I have watched it over and over and I cannot figure out what she says there.

Does anyone know?

Mycroft’s popularity doesn’t surprise me at all. He is, after all, incredibly beautiful, clever and well-dressed. And beautiful. Did I mention that?

She says " Daily Mail" - she's telling him who the reporter is working for.

Re: Line I can't understand

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!! Every time I watch it I get annoyed at it

I hadn't seen that version of the script. I'd found one transcript but it didn't specify that line either.

Re: Line I can't understand

As mentioned, she is telling him the name of the paper the reporter works for, The Daily Mail, as a warning. This is a tabloid newspaper with a very large circulation not, therefore, one he can be flippant with. If you notice straight afterwards he does a slight back-track on the 'smart-arse' remark he has just made.

Re: Line I can't understand

Yeah I did notice that, that's why I assumed she'd spoken in warning, but I couldn't make out what she said. I guess knowledge of the UK papers would have come in handy!

I don't think I understood what she said till the third or fourth time I watched the episode. I suppose the Daily Mail isn't as familiar to Americans, so it would be a little harder for us to pick up.

Re: Line I can't understand

Yeah, you can just imagine them doing a big front page splash saying "Lestrade's advice: Don't commit suicide"

A lot of the TV I watch is British. I sometimes wish there were subtitles -- and I'm American.
