Anyone?

I believe it is Spanish for "Go!"

I think Lance gets annoyed because it is embarrassing for him...reminding him of how Dupree found him and Sergio in the bathroom, and then saw them on the videotape.

it is what Lance was saying when he was having sex with Sergio in the videotape.  Andele,andele...

yb:
Thank god Richard asked for the meaning of andele.  I've tried babelfish for a translation but it doesn't have it.

louisev:
And here I thought everybody in the audience was a fan of Bugs Bunny and Looney Tunes cartoons and the hilarious "Speedy Gonzalez" (not to be confused with Natali of the same family,) whose signature exclamation was:

Arriba arriba!  Andele andele! 

I was just picturing Lance and Sergio going at it Speedy Gonzales style.

excuse me: the spelling is     Ándale!

Oh, that's why babelfish doesn't have the translation for andele!
