That reminds me of the movie THREE STOOGES IN ORBIT when then hear the
Martians discussing the destruction of the Earth.  Moe looks down at the
subtitles (someday they'll be promoted to titles) and reads what they say.
Also, at the end of the film, the Martians speak in English, "If you can't
beat them, join them."  The subtitles are in written in Martian.
