I can't answer any of those questions, but in anticipation:

Mon nez est cassé! Aie! Mon nez! J'arrive pas à respirer! Qu'est-ce qui s'est passé? T'as l'air vraiment foutu.

Can I get a translation on that? Because it looks like comedy gold. Even though I can't use it for this scene, since Hero and Sidekick are both English, and while Hero knows a lot of French and a little Latin, being an aristocratic, edumacated type, Sidekick is your basic monolingual Briton.

My nose is broken! Ow! My nose! I can't breathe!
What happened? You look really f*cked up.

Ah. That's why I could understand everything except the last sentence. Six years of middle/high school French, one year in college, and we never learned how to say "fucked up."

French you weren't taught in high school 101:

Foutre: v. to f*ck
As in:
Va te faire foutre! (Go f*ck yourself!)
Fous-moi la paix! (Leave me the f*ck alone!)
Fous le camp! (F*ck off!)
Il fout tout en l'air. (He's f*cking everything up.)
Tu te fous de moi? (Are you f*cking with me?)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Foutu. Heh.

Burrell, I may need to take you up on that. I'm getting my last round of meds as well as one more bag of saline, so I'm about an hour out. Would that work for you?

Susan, there will be immediate relief on resetting, but the swelling and discolouration will hang out for a while. Not everyone will bleed again. And the mess (including black eyes, etc) can stay for a week or two.

It occurs to me that even if lunch was a lot of pasta at like, 2:30PM, dinner of lots of strawberry rhubarb crisp is really not healthy. Or making my tummy happy. Protein has been kinda missing today. Um.

Oh, don't play like you weren't thinking of it.
