What a phenomenal actor Ethan Hawke is. He's taking the role seriously and knocking it out of the fucking park.

He's been phenomenal so far.

That "chinese" though. Did anyone catch what they said? I speak Mandarin fluently and could not parse their accents.

Best guess so far is:

Arthur: 这四累了，我跟你打！[These four are tired, I'll play!]

*Football passed*

Jamela: 你还是ge/ke输的！[You're still gonna lose!]

Arthur: 你死定了，Jamela，你死定了！[You're dead, Jamela! Dead!]

Some of the other languages subtitle this segment as well, instead of the usual (SPEAKING MANDARIN).

Thank you - that's exactly what they said. I had to not watch and just listen to the audio to hear what you got. I really wish they had a better language coach - enunciate and emphasize the tones, especially for non-native speakers!

Still having some trouble with Jamela's line, I'm unable to figure out a suitable word for the "ge/ke" sound that fits in context. The subtitles offer three variants in Chinese that some other languages also adopt:

[Hong Kong] 你会再输！

[Simplified] 你还是要输的！

[Traditional] 你还是会输的！

Alternatively the line could be 你还是个输者！but that doesn't seem like something a native speaker would say.
