I thought the same thing and just tried playing it backwards. I can't make anything out which is disappointing. Mind you I can't understand what she says after that either, something about a motorbike? 111.69.245.12 09:46, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
- The Doctor is like a 9 year old trying to repair a motorbike in their bedroom. Tardis1963 10:19, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Tried playing this forwards and backwards but I don't think it is English either way - forwards it sounds something like "averasi zero thento imawi", backwards more like "you are me wiside very siseridah" 186.212.245.184 12:36, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
- Someone might try it as an anagram. Boblipton 13:19, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
- I reversed it then slowed it down, it gives me:
- "You only wish there's a very sick [that]/[serivah]"
- If you take the last word forward, it can give you "You only wish there's a very sick a virus"
- Can't help more than that I'm afraid... Being a small Neil Gaiman fan, it didn't notice any anagram in his books before (but then, I didn't look for them). Animals have much more significance (he's a fan of Gene Wolfe and his novel The Anansy Boys explore it well enough). He also is a fan of Douglas Adams (he wrote a biography about him called Don't Panic). If we can find anything, it would be here.

- I believe Gaiman's script says that she's speaking nonsense syllables. (I think this was in Confidential; I'll have to watch it again.) If so, analyzing those syllables may tell us something about the subconscious thoughts of the actress and/or director, but probably not much about the plot. --99.33.25.110 08:19, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Yep, here it is, at 14:30 in Confidential: "Exterior, Junkyard, Idris's cell. Idris in her cell, she's focusing, concentrating, like she's trying to move furniture around in her head. She opens her mouth, but this time, nonsense sounds just blurt out." --99.33.25.110 08:34, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
