you're a life

20:49 Feb 4, 2010 

I just want to say that in my numerous decades of living in the US, I have never ever heard anyone say "you're a life." But some people do say things that no one else says. Is this a transcript of an actual conversation? Could it possibly be "you've a life"
which isn't really said but "you think you've got a life" is said and one could possibly say that and leave out the "got."
In terms of the context, you're right, it dosn't help. For instance what does "Where else are you? In Chicago?" mean?
Sorry for not being any help.

X : THESE PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE WHO YOU, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'RE IN A MOVIE WITH THEM, YOU KNOW YOU'RE IN A MOVIE.
Re X : BUT I MEAN LIKE--
Y : WHERE ELSE ARE YOU? IN CHICAGO?
Z : YOU THINK YOU'RE A LIFE?
X : BUT, I MEAN, HAVEN'T YOU EVER DONE MOVIES WITH PEOPLE WHO, WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS BUT LIKE YOU DO SOME FILMS AND--
Z : LIKE WHO?
X : WHEN YOU DO FILMS WITH SOME PEOPLE, IT'S NOT AS EXCITING AS WHEN YOU DO IT WITH PEOPLE WHO YOU THINK ARE GREAT.

"le contexte n'aidera pas", il faudrait laisser en décider ceux qui le liront... on ne sait jamais.

en tout état de cause, l'anglais ne veut rien dire

ça doit bien se dire puisque le gars le dit.
Le contexte n'aidera pas, le concept, c'est que les trois personnes parlent un peu en même temps et répondent de façon décalée donc y'a pas plus de contexte que ce que j'ai indiqué, malheureusement

Ceci n'a ni queue ni tête! Plus de contexte SVP. "You're a life." ne se dit pas en anglais ... Tu es une vie??
