Well, I have the movie and I have the text. I'm listening to DiCaprio, he's saying "bla bla bla". I look to the text and see that what he says is not "bla bla bla", but "Carl, get me in the car, please." I listen to him again and now I understand -- he really says "Carl, get me in the car". Cool.
Anyway, it helps a lot with learning the pronunciation.
