Help me with a piece of dialogue

Does anyone know what J.P.'s character says to Beth that so infuriates her when they're walking home with the groceries (through the tunnel)? I've never been able to understand a word.

The script has been published, but differs slightly at times (of course) from the finished movie.

In the published script at that point JP says:
"And your boyfriend? With 'is Drizabone and 'is stupid 'at?"

In the movie itself I heard:
"What about your friend, with his Drizabone and his stupid hat?"

PS: Drizabone = Australian brand name for a type of overcoat, most commonly worn by farmers in the outback; ie quasi-cowboy clothing

I hope this helps.

It certainly does. I would never have gotten that on my own, not in a million years, what with Ganz' accent and the fairly obscure refernce, at least from an American point of view. That sure does piss her off!

Thank you! I always got "your friend" and "and his stupid hat," but I couldn't for the life of me understand the "Drizabone" part (well, it *is* an Aussie movie). I have no idea what the heck I thought he was saying there.

And this is why I love IMDB.

Thanks Vladimir-137.
