HELP. Can't understand last sentence!!!

Hi! I've just seen the film and I have a problem: I don't understand the last sentence, the one Liam says on the phone just prior to the abrupt film end. Anyone can transcribe?. It looks like key to understanding the movie!

Thanks!

I don't think Alistair (Liam) says anything. Joe says "we're finished" and that's the entire conversation.
Great film and utterly brilliant performance by James Nesbitt.

He says, "Alastair. It's Joe Griffin, we're finished."

No,

He states Alistair's FULL name, and then "we're finished."

That's a HUGE difference in overall meaning. Joe did not address Alistair as a friend. The tone was still formal.

Well, I understood something different. I think they`re saying:

Joe: "Alistair Little?"
Alistair: "Yes."
Joe: "Stupid, we`re finished."

He doesn't say the word "stupid".

He says "Joe Griffin".

We're finished...the last line...Liam Neeson says nothing..turning on the subtitles usually helps me sometimes

[–] green-elf 14 years ago

That`s true. It can help. But sometimes subtitles don`t quote the whole spoken text but the most important only.

Joe: Alistair Little?
Alistair: yeah.
Joe: It's Joe Griffin. [pause] We're finished.

KTinCT is correct; just watched it.
