Yeah i saw it somewhere else and i knew it was Basieux`s own translation or someone very close to him. His english is actually quite good (for a german…) I could have sworn he would never write a script in english, at least he told me so a long time ago, so i was a bit surprised to see it.
If it had been a freetranslation it would have come nowhere near the actual meaning in the script. Wether the method works or not is another question. One has to be extremely selective with the wheels, balls and dealers.
