Does Albert Brooks Beef It??

In this movie (Lost in America), At approximately 1 hour, 13 minutes into this film, when Brooks is at the job finding center.
Brooks is telling the guy about his past work experience. There a moment in time, when Brooks pauses between words, and you hear a fart!
The script runs something like this: “For the last eight years I was with Ross & Mac Mann , the last (((FART))) Four of those years I was creative director… “ Brooks even makes a weird face when you hear the sound!

Give it a listen!

I love this film, I grew up watching it, but for all the times I've watched it, I never caught that before... I found the DVD cheap, so I scored it. I just caught it today... I've watched & re-watched that scene to make sure it wasn't my imagination... LOL!

Trust me,

I just watched it and replayed that scene and YES! He most certainly does a trouser cough; I couldn't stop laughing and I don't know how they got through the scene without cracking a smile since the camera stays on them for another 15 seconds.

No, he most certainly does not do a "trouser cough". It's simply a sound he makes with his throat as he's searching for the words to explain his past employment.

I'm happiest...in the saddle.

I agree with BoSoxRule. It's simply a guttural sound serving as punctuation, definitely not flatulence.

Omigod. This is _so_ what Internet discussion forums were made for. ;-)

I learned a new expression today....'trouser cough'. But I agree, he was just saying 'uh' in between sentences that almost sounded like it. Replay that scene on youtube.

Indeed. We all learned something today, and the Interwebs is stronger for it.

lol... i just saw the scene you mentioned. as much as i would like to believe that he ripped one, i think i was just a throat growl, but now every time i see this movie, i'm gonna laugh at this part.
