According to notes/movies.com it was "Gehzunteit"; a German word meaning "bless you" said after someone sneezes. Sep 04 03, 8:14 AM

txh	It was definitely not gehzunteit. The phrase, phonetically stated, sounded like "Ach-tu-leiben, viva schlief, cauking aute." What do these German words mean? notes/movies.com is all wet. Sep 05 03, 8:05 AM

Basically, translates to "Ohh dear!!" "Ach du liebe zeit" ...is a colloquial (although almost old fashioned) saying to express surprise or astonishment about something that happened unexpectedly in German. Generally it is used as reaction to inferior unpleasantries not at all worth thinking about more than necessary. Sometimes it has the connotation of lack of genuine concern about the problem or event occurred (depending on the situation, gestures and tone) and might therefore be understood ironically or as superficial gossip. http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=20833 Schlief is the past tense of "sleep." The other words txh mentioned don't quite make sense, but we could figure it out if we knew the exact words. Sep 14 06, 3:05 PM
