I was just watching Predator 2 and at the end I noticed that when the Elder hands Harrigan the gun and goes "take it" and then Harrigan says "1715" what does the Elder say to him after that? I can't understand it.
I think he's just muttering, not actually saying anything.
"Nigga, keep that shit, and get out."

Great line for a sequel :laugh:.
It always sounded like the echo from his voice to me, either that or he's just muttering. Funny how his mouth doesn't move the entire time though.
Probably just muttering, I'd use subtitles to find out. If it doesn't help, then it's almost definitley muttering. Incidentally, I needed subtitles to realize that the Elder said "Take it." to Harrison.
There was a thread like this a long time ago
I believe we came to the conclusion he said something to the tune of "Leave this place" or "Get out"
Personnaly i've always thought that the Elder was saying "it's yours now" ???
i always though he say: take it....keep it.

LOL I watched the film last night and he does say keep it. It's not on subtitles and you have to here it pretty loud thought.
It was the gurgling throat queef of an aging Predator elder who reluctantly parted with his official Red Ryder carbine-action two-hundred-shot range model air rifle.
Yeah, think he was just pissed off he had to give one of his possessions to a human.

He does say Take it but when he turns and walk away he says keep it very quietly.
i think he says infidel,or infel,if that even is a word,or maybe he was muttering to himself that hes a ugly guy?
Watched the scene a few times. I'm pretty sure the second thing he says is simply some vocalized muttering.
....more similar like " Get out".. but not so sure, realy like quiet mumbling...
The elder tells Hannigan to "Take it" and as he walks away he says"Now get out!"
The hunter in the slaughter house when he is trying to cloak is "Now you will die" as he discovers the agents.
I just rewatched the scene and it sounds like he says" Take it. Get out." There is no "now".
P2 was just on G4 and in their caption he says "Take it, keep it."

Yep, been the same way for me for nearly two decades on my VHS.
From the french version:
The elder says:
Take it, it is yours (Prends le ,il est à toi !).
To me it sounded like. Take it. 1715. Take care. It could be keep it too but I would go with take care.

The "take care" bit makes the Predator sound polite. ;D
Might be "It's done" after Mike's "1715"?
its just muttering really, nothing to get excited about.
He says Take It.
"Take it" is certain. I personaly hear "now go", but there is nothing certain aobut it.
There are a lot of radically different suggestions as to what he said. I think it is safe to assume that he was just muttering.
"Take It.... ugh bloody tourists.."
I have the french version on VHS, and in it, the Elder says "it's yours", in french of course.
After danny glover says 1715 I swear when the elder predator turns and walks away he's saying "Loser."

I don't know why but finally understanding that phrase made the whole scene 100x more sinister to me.
I think it's because it turned what was a team of faceless agents into people with lives and the predator fully understands that it is taking their life.
Oh and the elder clearly says "I'm too old for this shit"
We talking about when he throws the pistol to Mike, or when he turns and walks away?
I always thought he said, "Anytime..." in the latter.

Yes... the closed caption spells out in English, "Take it." But that's followed by another word which is not included and it sounds like he says "Even".
It sounds like the elder Predator says "EVEN".
As in he trades Danny Glover the old gun, in exchange for the body of the Predator which Glover killed. So they are "even" (as for retribution).
I always hear "now go", which fits the ending nicely. Is there script or p2 to confirm it once and for all?
Thanks very much for all your replies guys.
Alot of the stuff you suggested make perfect sense. It may be uncomprehensible what he says but it sure is interesting to speculate. I like the one where he was suggested to say "even" as it not only shows that they are trading something, but the Elder says that Harrigan is "even" with him for beating one of his own. He sees him as almost an equal hence giving him a reward. I also like the other suggestion of "now go" as in "gtfo before this ship blasts off", I remember in the comic adaptation he is literally pointing with his finger to the exit like "now shoo".
To be honest, I can't believe this thread is still alive. It's been ages since I was active on the forum. It means alot! :)
In a deleted scene it suggests that the elder is actually saying "Dance."

I thought that was just accepted fact.
i still hear the word "danger"
he is letting him know that he is not safe and must leave the ship. danger.
I always thought the predator ship exploded xD
Pretty sure he says "you're welcome."
is the predator 2 ending good i never seen the movie.
Watch it. It's absolutely ridiculous in all the best ways. :D

You know there is different versions of that some people put thriller on but you know the original when you see everyone talking.First grey hood(elder predator) says take it then he says keep it.
after the elder predator says "take it" he turns around to walk away and says "heathen".
Quote from: TheBabyQ on Sep 05, 2020, 03:28:15 AM

Just listened to it a few times. I think it's 'even', rather than heathen.
I didn't bother to read the thread but huh, never put much thought into what he said after "take it".
Be it "keep it", "Even", or "Heathen" I feel like regardless it's in character. Though I kind of like the idea of Greyback calling Harrigan a heathen given the Predator's devil name and how it operates. Like he gets the trophy out of some degree of respect but Harrigan isn't one of them if that makes sense so he doesn't get City Hunter's head for one reason or another and gets an alternative trophy. Though I'm pretty sure he just tells him to keep it.

I agree! I don't think the predator fully respects him but has to give him a trophy bc that is how they operate.

I'm not sure he's saying anything decipherable, but the best fit I've come across online is "Keep it."
well he's mimicking Andolini from the comic who simply says "take it" nothing more. I mean I suppose he could have learned the english language but I think that takes away from the entire thing, so maybe he's just growling something in Yautja? My motto is, if it's not in the script, probably not meant to mean much.
Whatever the elder says, I always hear "is jammed" or "is done" after "take it".
I only got, "Take it" followed by some light growling. Leaving it alone as just, "Take it" without adding anything stays true to the comic reference. Also, it is doubtful Elder would care to have any further discussion with a human anyway.

Yep. When Greyback left Adolini his sword after he died, he also said "take it." The last noise we're hearing are just annoyed growling sounds.
The Elder Predator was muttering:

Perhaos he was muttering, "get off my ship quick." :D

This was always my thoughts but as it has been stated above, it could just be unintelligible muttering :-\:laugh:
Another possibility, "I hope City Hunter packed the meat.. I want a steak."
"Corndogs, 3 for a dollar"
"The pistol belonged to Benedict Arnold."

That's what it sounds like to me too. Subtitles only cover 'take it' however...
Any chance the Predators expected Harrigan to tag along? It's not as if they gave him a lot of time run out of the ship and get clear of the blast. In fact, he's lucky he survived the launch.

It didn't seem like they held a grudge. If anything, he earned their respect and safe passage.
I think they just didn't give a f**k whether he would get out in time or not. Let's not forget, they were in a hurry for "Space Columbo" re-runs

They showed him respect but that doesn't mean they instantly became super-pals, you know. They were leaving and not going to wait for his slow ass to get out in time, what is so hard to understand here ?
Especially they had OWLF on their tail.

So he does say both?
I thought it makes no sense for him to say sergeant since that is his rank. Why would he be calling out himself?
Blaine is also a sergeant. I think they all are except for Dutch.

Kinda. In my 2-disc DVD set he says sergeant, while in the BR he says contact. Was probably an ad lib mistake that was corrected later
