I ditto that. You guys saved me a bunch of time doing it myself. I type all day long for a living so I DOUUBELY appreciate someone elses work! If either of you decide to do ACT 3, I’d be forever grateful if you share it here as well!

I’m waiting for some one now to start a sing-a-long to Dr. Horrible contest on you tube now. Maybe even people could dress up like they did for the Rocky Horror craze while they sing-a-long! funfunfun.

As you wish….

CAPTAIN HAMMER

It may not feel too classy

begging just to eat.

But you know who does that? Lassie!

And she always gets a treat!

So you wonder what your part is

'cause you're homeless and depressed.

But home is where the heart is

Everyone's got villains they must face.

They're not as cool as mine,

In their own, not-that-heroic, way!

So I thank my girlfriend, Penny.

(spoken) Yeah, we totally had sex.

She showed me there's so many

different muscles I can flex.

There's the deltoids of compassion,

there's the abs of being kind.

It's not enough to bash in heads,

you've got to bash in minds!

Everyone's a hero in their own way,

everyone's got something they can do.

Get up, go out and fly.

Especially that guy,

he smells like poo!

Everyone's a hero in their own way:

you, and you, and mostly me, and you!

I'm poverty's new sheriff,

and I'm bashing in the slums.

A hero doesn't care if you're

a bunch of scary alcoholic bums!

Everybody!!

Everyone's a hero in their own way!

CROWD

We're heroes too!

HORRIBLE'S TAKEOVER—————-

DR HORRIBLE

(evil laugh)

Look at these people,

amazing how sheep will

show up for the slaughter.

No one condemning you,

lined up like lemmings you

led to the water.

Why can't they see what I see

why can't they hear the lies?

Maybe the fee's too pricey

for them to realize

your disguise is slipping.

I think you're slipping.

Now that your savior

is still as the grave

you're beginning to fear me.

Like cavemen fear thunder,

I still have to wonder

can you really hear me?

I bring you pain,

the kind you can't suffer quietly.

Fire up your brain

remind you inside your rioting

society is slipping.

Everything's slipping away…

So go ahead,

run away!

Say it was horrible.

Spread the word,

tell a friend!

Tell them the tale.

Get a pic,

do a blog!

Heroes are over with.

Look at him,

not a word!

Hammer, meet nail!

Then I win,

then I get

everything I ever…

All the cash,

all the fame,

and social change!

Anarchy

that I run!

It's Dr. Horrible's turn!

You people all have to learn

this world is going to burn!

Burn!

(spoken) Yeah, it's two R's, H-O-R-R-I…

Burn!

No sign of Penny,

good,

I would give anything

not to have her see.

It's gonna be bloody,

head up Billy, buddy,

there's no time for mercy.

Here goes no mercy…

(spoken) That's not a good sound…

——————————————–

EVERYTHING YOU EVER—————

DR HORRIBLE

Here lies everything.

The world I wanted at my feet.

My victory's complete,

so hail to the king.

CHORUS

Everything you ever…

DR HORRIBLE

Arise and sing.

So your world's benign.

So you think justice has a voice

and we all have a choice.

Well, now your world is mine.

CHORUS

Everything you ever…

DR HORRIBLE

And I am fine.

…..

DR HORRIBLE

Now the nightmare's real.

Now Dr. Horrible is here!

To make you quake with fear!

To make the whole world kneel.

CHORUS

Everything you ever….

DR HORRIBLE

And I won't feel

BILLY

a thing.

SpyOne said:

Example: In Everyone’s A Hero, Captain Hammer says "If you’re not a freakin’ ‘tard"
‘tard is short for "retard", which is a slang term for a person who is mentally retarded, and is generally used as an insult by 10 year olds. It is not something an adult would say, especially when speaking in public, which is the point.

Funny thing is that I thought I heard "tard", but heard the first part as "not afraid", so it didn't make sense. Anyway, a big thank you for the effort of writing down the lyrics. A huge help with the translation, especially with some of the lines in act 3 I couldn't make out. Still can't make out some of Hammers whining (everything after what sounds like "oh mama" and the whole part on the couch).

Maybe it helps getting at least a few people interested in Dr. Horrible that otherwise wouldn't care. If not, most of the day, the head ache and the throbbing sensation between my eyes would have been kind of pointless.

Hello.

First of all, I'm very Thankfull for the lyrics you've posted!

I'm French and it really helped me to catch some words I missed.

It also determined me to transcript the rest of the script but unfortunately, I'm still missing some parts.

So could anyone be legendary enough and help me by filling the blank?

Here is what I catched with a "(?)" for what's missing :

– ACT ONE –

DR.HORRIBLE:
- So that's, you know, coming along.
I'm working with a vocal coach.
Strengthening the…
Lot of guys ignore the laugh
and that's about standards.
I mean, if you want to get into the Evil League of Evil
You'll have to have a memorable laugh.
What do you think? Bad Horse doesn't work on his whinny?
His terrible death whinny.
No response, btw, from the league yet.
But my application is strong this year.
A letter of condemnation from the deputy mayor.
That's got to have some weight, so… fingers' crossed.
E-mails!
TwoSliveForYou writes "Hey Genius"
Woah! Sarcasm! That's Original!
"Where are the gold bars you were supposed to pull out of that bank vault

with your transmatter ray? Obviously it failed or it would be in the papers"
Well no, I'm not gonna say anything in the press, but, behold…
Transported from there, to here.
The… moleculs tend to… shift during the… transmatter… event.
But… they were transported in bar form, and they clearly were…
And by the way, it's not about "making" money, it's about "taking" money.
Destroying the status quo because the status is not… quo.
The world is a mess and I just need to rule it
I'm gonna… It smells like cumin.
So, Transmatter at 75 percent and more importantly,
the Freeze-Ray is almost (?)
This is the one, stops time, Freeze-Ray, tell your friends.
We have… oh!
Here's one from my good friend "JohnnySnow"
"Doctor Horrible, I see you were once again afraid
to do battle with your nemesis, I waited at Dully Park for Fourty five minutes"
Ok, dude. You're not my nemesis. My nemesis is Captain Hammer.
Captain Hammer corporate tool… dislocated my shoulder… again… last week.
Look, I'm just trying to change the world, ok.
I don't have time for a grudge match with every poser in a parka.
Besides, there's kids in that park, so…
Here's one from "DeadNotSleeping"
"Long time watcher, first time writing, bla, bla, bla, bla…
You always say in your blog that you will show "her" the way
show "her" you are a true villain, who is "her"? And does she even know that you're…"

[LAUNDRY DAY]

MOIST:
- Hey Doc
DR.HORRIBLE:
- Moist! (?) Moister, buddy, what's going up?
- (?) got your mail.
- Hey didn't you… didn't you go on a date last night? Captain Diamond told me you were (?)
- Yeah…
- Yeah?
- That was alright. I kinda tought I was supposed to end up with (?) but…
- I hear you. I saw Penny today.
- Did you talk to her?
- So close. Just a few weeks away from a real (?) connection. I'm gonna ask… Oh my god!
- Is that from the League?
- It's from Him, that's His seal, isn't it?
- The Leader, the, oh my god!
- I got a letter from Bad Horse!
- That's so hardcore, Bad Horse is legend, He rules the league with an iron hoof, are you sure you wanna…

[BAD HORSE LETTER]

MOIST:
- … wanna know?
DR.HORRIBLE:
- Are you kidding? This is crazy. I'm about to pull a major heist.
You know the Wonderflonium that I need for the Freeze-Ray, it's being transported tomorrow.
- Armored car?
- Carrier van, candy from a baby.
- Do you need anything damped or made soggy or…
- Thanks but, the League is watching, I gotta go this alone.

[PENNY'S SONG]

PENNY:
- Will you lend a caring hand…
BILLY:
- HHHAAAA!!!… What?
- I was wondering if I could just… Hey, I know you.
- Hello. You know me? Cool. I mean, yeah, you do… Do you?
- From the Launder(?)
- Wednesday and saturday, except twice last month, you skipped the weekend…
Or if, that was you, could have been, someone else, I mean I've seen you.
Billy is my name
- I'm Penny. What are you doing?
- Texting. It's very important or I would stop. What are you doing?
- Actually, I'm out here volunteering for the Caring Hand Homeless Shelter.
Can you spare a minute?
- Hum… Ok, go.
- Ok, we are hoping to open a new location to extend our effort.
There's this great building nearby that the city is just gonna demolish
and turn to a parking lot, but if we get enough signatures…
- Signatures…
- Yeah.
- I'm sorry, go on.
- I was saying, maybe we could get the city to donate the building to our cause,
we would be able to (?) two hundreds fifty new beds, get people off the streets
and into job trainig so they could… buy rockets packs and go to the moon and (?)
You're not really interested in the homeless, are you?
- No, I am. But they're a symptom, you're treating a symptom, and the disease rages on,
consumes the human race, the fish rots from the head, as they say,
so my thinking is one might cut off the head…
- …Of the human race?
- It's not a perfect metaphor but I'm talking about an overhaul of the system,
putting the power in… different hands
- I'm all for that… This petition is about the building.
- I'd love to sign it.
- Thanks you.
- I'm sorry, I (?) strong
- But you signed.
- I wouldn't turn my back on my fellow laundry… person
- Well we (?) together, I don't…
I'll probably see you there.
- No I will, I'll…
She talked to me… Why did she talked to me now?
Maybe I should…

[WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA DO]

(? What Dr.Horrible is saying while leaving the van? ?)

– ACT TWO –

[ON THE RISE]

PENNY:
- It is so dumb that we've been coming here so long and never spoke
BILLY:
-I know, all those months doing the (?)
- I'm a fan of laundry
- Psych! I love it
- The smell of fabric softener, the warm cloth in your hands
- So good. Hey, this is weird. I ordered one frozen yoghurt and they gave me two
you don't happen to like frozen yoghurt, do you?
- I love it.
- You're kidding me! What a crazy random happens (?). Here.
- Thank you.
- So how was your weekend? Just spent the whole time hunting wild signatures?
- Actually, I went on a date.
- Get right out of town, how was that?
- Unexpected. He's a really good looking guy and I thought he was quite cheesy at first.
- Trust your instinct.
- But he turned out to be totally sweet. Sometimes people are layered like that.
They're something totally different underneath than what's on the surface.
- And sometimes there's a third, even deeper, level, and that one is the same
as the top surface one.
- Uh?
- Like with pie. So you gonna see him again?
- I think I will.
- Billy?
- Yeah?
- You're (?) a spork in your leg.
- So I am. Hilarious!

DR.HORRIBLE:
- Alright! The wait is over.
This my friends, is my Freeze-Ray which, with the additionnal (?) Wonderflonium I obtained
at my famously successfull heist last week, I say successfull ended I achieved my objectives,
it was less successfull ended I inadvertently introduced my arch-nemesis
to the girl of my dreams and now he's taking her out on dates and they are probably
going to french kiss or something… she called him "sweet", how was he "sweet"?…
Right! Freeze-Ray!
So as of tonight, I am in the Evil League of Evil, if all goes according to plan,
which it will because I own a PhD in Horribleness.
See you at the aftermath, peace… but not literally…

…

- Freeze-Ray needs work.
I also need to be a little bit more carefull about what I say on this blog,
apparently the LAPD and Captain Hammer are among our viewers.
They were waiting for me at the mayor dedication of the SuperHero Memorial Bridge
The Freeze-Ray takes a few seconds to warm up and I wasn't…
Captain Hammer threw a car at my head.
Not to worry though, because I'm…
…One second…

[BAD HORSE PHONECALL]

MOIST:
- Kill someone.
DR.HORRIBLE:
- Would you do it? To getting in the Evil League of Evil.
- Look at me man, I'm Moist, I mean…my most badass, I make people feel like they want
to take a shower, I'm not (?) material.
- Killing is not elegant or creative, that's not my style.
- You got more than enough evil (?) to get in to the henchmen, (?)
- Psst, I'm not a henchmen, I'm Dr Horrible, I own a PhD in horribleness.
- Is that the new catch phrase?
- I deserve to get in, you know I do. But killing, really?
- Hourglass says she knows a kid in Iowa grows up to become president, maybe big…
- I'm not gonna kill a little kid.
- (?) an old lady.
- Do I even know you?

BILLY:
- I just, you know, really think I'm qualified for this job and… (?)
PENNY:
- I'm sure you will.
- I wanna do (?), you know, I want to be an achiever, like Bad Horse.
- The Thoroughbred of Sin?
- I meant Gandhi.
- Well, I got (?) for plenty of jobs, even fired a few times.
- I can't imagine anybody firing you.
- Neither could I. Now I can visualize it very well.
But, you know, everything happens…
- …Don't say "for a reason"
- No, I'm just saying that, everything happens.
- Not to me.

[EVERYTHING HAPPENS]

PENNY:
- It's like Captan Hammer always says.
BILLY:
- Sure, right, everything look cheesy on the outside.
- Good, (?) good, he's nice.
- I'll be interested (?) he said he might stop by.
- Stop by here?
- Yeah.
- Oh, godness, look at my rest, I gotta go.
- But, what about your clothes?
- I don't love these, see ya.
- Oh, pardon.
CAPTAIN HAMMER:
- Pardon.
- Billy, this is Captain Hammer.
- Oh, Billy, the laundry buddy, that is very nice to meet you.
- We're meeting now for the first time.
- You look horribly familiar.
- (?) faces I guess
- Have I seen you at the gym?
- At the gym, yeah.
- I don't go to the gym, I'm just naturally like this.
(?), who wants to know what the mayor is doing behind closed doors?
He is signing over a certain building to a Caring Hands group as a new homeless shelter.
- Oh my god!
- Yeah, apparently, the only signature he needed was my fist… but with a pen in there,
that I was signing with.
- I can't believe it.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, thank you!
- Well, this is great, I wish I could see ya and chit-chat.
- Sure it was nice to meet you, Doctor.
You got a little crushed, don't you Doc?
Well that's gonna make this hard to hear, you see, later,
I'm gonna take little Penny back to my place, show her the (?)
I'm gonna gave Penny the night of her life. Just because you want her.
And I'll get what you want. See, Penny is giving it up, she is giving it up hard.
'Cause she's with Captain Hammer and these are not the hammer…
…The hammer is my penis.

[BRAND NEW DAY]

– ACT THREE –

SPEAKERS:
- Looks like we finding out what a true hero is.
- The mayor himself will be on hand to dedicate the new homeless shelter
and unveil the statue of Captain Hammer.
- It's a good day to be homeless.
- It certainly is.

[SO THEY SAY]

MAYOR:
- And in just a few minutes, we'll unveil the statue of the man himself.
Thank you, thank you.
"Justice" has a name and the name that it has, beside "justice" is Captain Hammer.
Ladies and Gentlemen, your hero.
CAPTAIN HAMMER:
- Thank you, thank you mayor for those kind words
I hate the homeless…ness problems that plagues our city. Everyone should have the basic…
You know what, I don't need tiny cue cards.
When I fell deeply in love with my serious longturn girlfriend Penny, wave your hand Penny,
there she is, cute eh?
Sort of a… quite nerdy thing, not my usual, but nice. Anyway.
She (?) me all to this whole homeless thing which is, terrible.
And I realised, I'm not the only hero, in the room tonight.
I'm not the only one who's fighting.

[EVERYONE'S A HERO]

[HORRIBLE'S TAKEOVER]

CAPTAIN HAMMER:
- (?Capt'n Hammer making a finger?)
- A Death-Ray, looks like Dr.Horrible's moving up.
- Let's see if this one looks any better than your last.
DR.HORRIBLE:
- Don't!
- I don't have time for your warnings. You give my regards for St Peter
or whoever who has his job but in Hell.
- I'm in pain! I think this is my pain feels like. Oh mama!
Someone (?), get out of my way! I gotta get out!
- Penny! Penny, Penny.
PENNY:
- Billy, is that you?
- Penny, hold on., hold on, oh no, no, no, no…
- Billy, are you alright?
- Hold on.
- It's ok, it's ok. Captain Hammer will save us.
- Penn…
REPORTERS:
- Dr.Horrible, why did you kill her? Dr.Horrible,
please… Why did you kill her?

[EVERYTHING YOU EVER]

There's a lot of blanks and also (with no doubt) misunderstandings but with your help, I hope doing a .srt file soon.

*SQUEALS* Ah thankyou so much jazzyfriz!!!! You so totally rock!

Bean said:

I have the whole thing transcribed at http://bean.livejournal.com/ and I think that almost all of it is correct, but I welcome any input!

Neat that you're posting here, that's making it easier to thank you for making my life a lot easier (couldn't have finished my translations in time if I'd have had to listen to the same lines over and over again until they turned into meaningless sounds). And I see the only line I was doubting has already been edited (crimes incomplete).

So, any word about international subtitles? Last thing I read is the subtitling for The Guild turned out pretty expensive. Apart from that, they won't be able to put every possible language onto the DVD. So maybe it's time to start collecting. Unfortunately stand alone players can't use external subtitles, but pretty much any halfdecent software player can.

Something I've been doing for the Firefly subs was writing them in a custom XML format like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="subs.xsl"?>
<subs measure="time">
    <line start="00:00:57,516" end="00:00:59,484" by="Mal">
        <english>Here. Here's your code.</english>
        <german>Hier. Hier ist ihr Code.</german>
    </line>
    <line start="00:00:59,552" end="00:01:02,521" by="Mal">
        <english>Congratulations on your promotion.</english>
        <german>Gratulation zu ihrer Beförderung.</german>
    </line>
    ...

Looks pointless and complicated, but is more flexible than writing them directly in a specific format like srt. You might end up deciding on a different format (for example font or color coded by speaker would make sense with all the overlapping lines in this), so adjusting a small and simple xsl template is a lot less time consuming than manually rewriting the whole thing. Also easily extendable, if you need to add a screen position or anything, not to mention that you can probably automate the whole process with a clever template. Plus, having all languages in one file avoids redundancy (time stamps, etc.) and I found more comfortable to have the original right next to it.

Just a suggestion, trying to make it easier to collect different languages in a common way. Working together has the nice benefit of nobody wasting time doing something that a hundred others have already done before. Plus, collecting them somewhere (maybe on this site) can save many people a lot of time googling. And thanks to XML and templates, an on-site translation could be created on the fly from the same file for all kinds of languages.

For now I'm off doing the second pass on Act 3 (turns out I always do a "close to the original, but awkwardly phrased" version that needs a second pass of rephrasing and cleaning up).

Wouah! Once again, JazzyFizzle, Thank you very much for the amazing job you did!

I finished the french translation. The one I found from the link I posted is far from accurate, I just had to correct it a little.

So if someone is interested, just PM me.
