    Helena Bonham-Carter, being British, didn’t know that “grade school” was much younger than one would expect from such a line until after the film was released.

      "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school." blew my young mind, at the time.

      I think the original line was:

      "I want to have your abortion"

      But it was cut because it was deemed to krass.

        1. crass*, FFS. (and too*, while I'm at it)
        2. If by "cut", you mean "not included", then that's a whole other can of worms re: your comprehension of this shared reality we live in.

          Krass is German.

          Yes, "not included" like you when people want to have fun and form friendships.

            Nah, Marla was real. PM members physically brought her to Jack at the end. Even PM wouldn't be able to pull off bringing an alter ego to Jack, she must be real.

            Also, in the film the thrift store cashier LOOKS at Marla during the conversation.

                  That doesn’t change that the English spelling is crass.

                  Also, https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/crass says crass made its way from Latin via French to English, not German. Always with a C, btw.

                      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/trivia/?item=tr0755880

                      The original "pillow talk"-scene had Marla saying "I want to have your abortion". When this was objected to by Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin, David Fincher said he would change it on the proviso that the new line couldn't be cut. Ziskin agreed and Fincher wrote the replacement line, "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school". When Ziskin saw the new line, she was even more outraged and asked for the original line to be put back, but, as per their deal, Fincher refused.

                      Also, the actress didn't know grade school in the US is 6-12 years old as she is from outside the US. She didn't find out until afterwards and was very unhappy about saying it.

                        Fair point.

                        When I saw the flick, the internet was barely more than geocities & altavista, so 🤷🏼‍♂️

                        TMI: as someone who lost theirs at 12, I guess it resonated with me — but, I completely hear where she's coming from.

                                  She's probably real in the novel as well, but I don't think you can definitively say it's an impossible interpretation in either.

                                  It's a bit more clear in the novel for a few reasons but you can still wave away a lot of the points against it simply by pointing to how extremely unreliable the Narrator is.

                                    And I think that comes from French via the Norman invasion of 1066.

                                    C vs K is a major distinction of language families too, I forget the terminology for it.

                                      If spelling doesn't matter, why then are all your other words properly spelled in their English form.

                                      And you used proper capitalization and spaces.

                                      Don't be disingenuous.

                                        I want to argue, but I have to admit that your English is far better than my German.

                                          https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/trivia/?item=tr0755880

                                          The original "pillow talk"-scene had Marla saying "I want to have your abortion". When this was objected to by Fox 2000 Pictures President of Production Laura Ziskin, David Fincher said he would change it on the proviso that the new line couldn't be cut. Ziskin agreed and Fincher wrote the replacement line, "I haven't been fucked like that since grade school". When Ziskin saw the new line, she was even more outraged and asked for the original line to be put back, but, as per their deal, Fincher refused.

                                          Also, the actress didn't know grade school in the US is 6-12 years old as she is from outside the US. She didn't find out until afterwards and was very unhappy about saying it.
