'Forms of address' can be really difficult in subtitles when you don't know the language, particularly when they translate them incorrectly, but I did find this one particularly fascinating as you can't really translate it at all.
It's particularly fascinating to a native English speaker in that we don't have formal and informal language forms in the same way as many other languages do, like the use of Tu and Vous in French, it's just conveyed by vocabulary choice (words you wouldn't use in front of your mother *g*) and/or form of address.
