Which has no impact in English. None. What he's saying has impact in 
Japanese. It means something. But taking a literal translation of the phrase 
doesn't convey the meaning. "I'm so fucked up." while not a literal 
translation conveys the meaning of what he's saying. Meaning is more 
important than sticking to a literal word for word translation.

I have many issues with Amanda Winn Lee's dub script. This is not one of 
them.
