I'm working on the promotion of The Colour of Magic, the new discworld movie made by Mob Films for Sky One

below is a letter Terry recently sent us regarding the film

It wasn't too difficult to turn the Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic into one movie. The project was helped by the fact that the Colour of Magic, being a kind of road movie, had no perceptible plot whatsoever other than people kept...

First he got caught by the Lord and he was almost going to kill him. Then he had to get Twoflower and then try to keep him safe. Then Twoflower tried to get on a horse but couldn't so Rincewind had to go after him. Then Death had him hanging from a tree under wolves and a snake on the tree. It's a good thing the luggage saved him when he fell. Then when he found Twoflower he saw him for a second and then he was captured by Dragons. Then he...

I am Czech, therefore I read Pratchett´s books in Czech. Now I read The Colour of Magic in English. I do not understand one thing. Please, help! Twoflower tries to explain Rincewind his job. He talks about inn-sewer-ants polly-sea. That is clear - insurance policy. But later on he talks about "reflected-sounds-of-underground-spirits". I guess, this should work the same way as inn-sewer-ants - just words replaced with another ones, that sound almost the same. But I can neither...
