Rachel's last words


"Somewhere--" *explosion*

I've always wondered what she intended to say. Does anyone have any theories? I really don't. Anything that follows "somewhere" would sound a little inter-dimensional and not really of the decidedly grounded feeling of the trilogy

reply

She just said "some," I alwasy though she want to said "someone."

Someone’s coming to save me, too.

Somewhere we’ll find each other again.

Somebody about to get slapped if I don’t get outta here.

Sometimes I take things that don’t belong to me even though I can afford to buy them for myself.

Summertime is a great time for picnics, Harvey. Never forget!

That made me laugh out loud, literally, for a good minute, thanks :)

I felt inspired to check, and the subtitles on the dvd show "Somewh--" so I'm pretty sure it's gotta be "Somewhere"

reply

I don't know. Although script excerpts I found online, plus transcripts and the subtitles, indicate "Somewhere-" is Rachel's last word, that doesn't make any sense in context. The previous moments have her figuring out that she's not coming through this, so you'd think she'd just hit one very clear message and none of the ones I can think of (she loves Harvey, she knows Bruce is Batman, she believes in Gotham, she has no regrets, etc.) would logically start with "Somewhere". Nolan knows.

reply

The best thing I can think of is a reference to heaven, like "Somewhere there's a better place, I'll wait for you, and we'll be together without all this darkness"

reply

Yeah, it just doesn't seem to me like something Rachel would say. She seems more like the person who would say, "Gotham can be a wonderful place, don't give up on it."

I just asked this when my brother was watching earlier today and he's like ' I DUNNO!"

My head automatically filled "sometimes."
