10) Plot sounds predictably gripping: bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) kidnaps slave Django (Jamie Foxx) so that he can help identify the Brittle brothers, whom Schultz wants to kill. In return, he will give Django his freedom and help to rescue his enslaved wife.
9) His wife is apparently enslaved in a Timotei ad.

7) DiCaprio starts speaking in clever-clever language. “He is a rambunctious sort, ain’t he?” and “Gentlemen, you had my curiosity; now you have my attention”. Pretty good lines. This is hopefully going to be more fun than Inglourious Basterds. And the spelling’s better, too.

3) There are three lines of dialougue we can’t make out, including the last word spoken. Oh well, we have six months to crack them.
2) “I like the way you die, boy,” says Django to some poor unfortunate. Another good line. QT is back. Did he ever go away? Oh yeah, Jackie Brown…
