The scene seems to have been redubbed, perhaps because they used "Ganges" like in the closed captioning. Anyway, it's impossible to clearly say "Ganda here" because of the way the tongue has to move back to form the h sound, and thus an r would form. It's similar to how an sh sound is sometimes inserted between a word that ends in t and a word that begins in y. We also have the accent that involves changing the -a in words to -er anyway (which the above tongue thing is probably responsible for), so I think it's more likely to be "Ganda" than "Gander."<P>------------------<BR><A HREF="http://frankg.dgne.com/" TARGET=_blank>Frank's Home Page</A><BR>"Bah!
