What's Goldblum's line? 'Laundres matts, the laundres matts'?

When Goldblum first takes Fishburne to Betty's store, Goldblum tells him how the money gets laundered through Africa. Then Goldblum adopts some strange Hispanic accent and says "It's the laundress matts... the laundress matts." I thought he was saying Laundromat in some foreign language, since that's where they get their money laundered, but Goldblum's delivery was so unusual I'd like to know exactly what he was saying. Can't find a script online.

Any ideas?

Nah.Jeff Goldblum probably ad-libbed that coked-up delivery.Remember he and Betty were snorting and he was explaining to Hull about their enterprise.He sums up the whole process with that line.In other words,he's saying they launder the money(obviously).Goldblum is just saying it like that cause he's a weird actor,and he probably figured that a coked-up lawyer might sound like that.Part Peter Lorre part Latino accent.Nothing deep.

He was saying the "laundress' maths" or something like that. I'm going to have to check the subtitles when I watch it again, and I'll be back to post it.

Ah, that makes more sense. She's the laundress. Let me know the second word. Could it be the Laundress's mask?

Nah,I really think the line is" ...it's the laundress mats. The laundresmatts.He even says it with a coked-up hiss/sneer.Just a funny way to refer to money laundering.
