Only one minor correction, I think it makes more sense!

Only one minor correction, I think it makes more sense! [/quote:2rxr32qe]+1, yes I hear it now. Even though I listened to the excerpt several times, I didn't catch that one. It goes to show that transcribing dialogue is not that easy even for natives. I spent more time on the "Oh"s and the "Don't"s and didn't pay enough attention to that part.

Thank you, guys.
The next excerpt please: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gh3J37wpZPE
I hear the following:

- [Linda, stop,] I can explain this, okay?
- You were getting blown by a nun, how can you explain that?
- Okay, Linda, will you just stop,...
- I take a shower for a five minutes, I come out ...... nun! It's a ...... (thing?)!
- I know, I know, it looks bad, but it's not what you thought. And what was I supposed to do? I got ......
- ...??.... let her blow you!
- I didn't ....... I got scared. I thought ..........
- ............??
- .................. Honest! We've been married ten years, I've been never cheaty on you. I wouldn't start now with a nun! ........ something!

- [Linda, stop,] I can explain this, okay?
- You were getting blown by a nun, how can you explain that?
- Okay, Linda, will you just stop for one second?
- I take a shower for five minutes, I come out and you are committing adultery with a nun! It's disgusting!
- I know, I know, it looks bad, but it's not what you thought. And what was I supposed to do? I got flustered!
- You got flustered?? And then you let her blow you!
- I didn't want to offend her. I got scared. I thought offending her would be like... a disgrace to the church or something.
- You're Jewish!
- That's the point, babe, I didn't know the rules, I was thinking on my feet, honest! We've been married ten years, I've never cheated on you. I wouldn't start now, with a nun! (I would have to get) to it slowly, with a hooker or something!

I hear:

What I hear is:

- That wasn't fun, that was work.

This one is more difficult to me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXkvQyP1OIk

What I hear is:
- .........
- .... blown by a virgin?
- Hey, Linda, I didn't get blown, okay? .......your own head... At best – at best! – I was...... I have news for you: that nun is no virgin.
- Oh, (then?) it's okay then. Don't worry about it.
- ..... trouble! ...........
- What are you gonna do? .........?
- Beeing serious. He's trying to break our spirits! This is not good. Okay? ............. Why, why?

I hear "spirits" in the plural. It doesn't really make a difference in meaning whether it's singular or plural, though, in this context.

Thanks a lot, guys!
Another excerpt please:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dR3PHtW8yI

- So, it seems that all (internal?) business is settled. ....... big fish. ....... (City Corp. of?) Germany.
- Yes, which we are pretty shortly ..... on a presentation ........ Matthew Barnes who is the American (who?) has been working with Germans.
- Are we going to be okay with this man? I have promissed the ..... that it will happen. And that means, at any price it must happen.
- Absolutely, Francois. Listen, I can assure you, we are fine with this Barnes. He's a company man, ........ Chicago ...... personally.
- And you're sure he's better for this than... what's the (bond?) .... name? Gizzing?
- Gissing. Without a doubt. I just don't see Gissing (sitting well with the Germans??) ........ right man, but he is unpredictable. I just don't see Gissing ..... deal with the Germans. Not .... point in his career.

- So, it seems that all internal business is settled. And that of course leaves the big fish, our merger with Cinecorps of Germany.
- Yes, which we are pretty shortly gonna hear a presentation on from Matthew Barnes, who is the American who has been working with the Germans.
- Are we going to be okay with this man? I have promissed the board that it will happen. And that means at any price it must happen.
- Absolutely, Francois. Listen, I can assure you, we are fine with this Barnes. He's a company man, you know, through and through. I met with him in Chicago and I put him on this personally.
- And you're sure he's better for this than... um... oh, what's the burned out one's name name? Gizzing?
- Gissing. Without a doubt. I just don't see Gissing sitting well with the Germans. I wish it wasn't true: he's a bright man, but he is unpredictable. I just don't see Gissing clinching the deal with the Germans. Not at this point in his career.

I had some technical problems with the movie... But now it is all right.
As always, here's another excerpt please!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usWDigSnIIg

I hear the follow:
- This was my father's chair at his office ....... chairman of 'IBM Europe'. .... boy ..... watch my father. (And the dream?) Now I bring it to here, in my office. .... important business once the acquisition is complete. This is a chair og great luck and power.
- That's a great chair, Francois. May I sit in it?
- Absolutely not!
- Good. Well, (if that's it?), then I'll... just check up on the presentation.

-This was my father's chair in his office when he was chairman of 'IBM Europe'. I would sit there as a boy in the chairman's office and watch my father and daydream. Now I bring it to here, in my office where I will do important business once the acquisition is complete. This is a chair of great luck and power.
- That's a great chair, Francois. May I sit in it?
- Absolutely not!
- Good. Well, if that's it, then I'll... just check up on the presentation.

Thank you, rockzmom.

Shouldn't it be "when he was a chairman"?

No. there is only one chairman at a time, so we wouldn't say "a chairman" in this context.
