My 88-year-old Dad is no sci-fi fan, but likes this movie. Great one-liners:
“Did you see that? No, and you didn’t either!”
“Double dumb-ass on you!”
“What does it mean: exact change?”
“Nuclear wessels”
“Now would be a good time”
Spock swearing
Scotty talking to the computer mouse
Spock neck-pinching the sound-thug on the bus
Chekov drawing a dead phaser on the federal agents
‘words to the effect of : Krik: If you change your mind, this is where I’ll be. Spock: “Is there something wrong with the one I have?”
“I’m from Iowa. I only work in outer space.”
I have a dear cousin who at age 19 was a kindred spirit of the punk on the bus. Styles changed between 1986 and 2001, so I don’t think he was ever laden with jewelry, dog collars, or hair dyed orange. He did get a mess of tattoos over the years, which I imagine his wife puzzles over.
