Ah, but do the girls in these movies have any phaser-cutting-phaser-sharpening phaser power packs? Hmmm, mister smarty plant? ---

Remember that scene in _Airplane_ where Lloyd Bridges is trying to remember where he’s heard the name “Phaser” before? He keeps mumbling “phaser, phaser, phaser, Phaser!” and the controller thinks Lloyd is verbing even though Lloyd doesn’t look like **viva** and the controller disintegrates that other actor? … I think that’s (uh, was) a girl. Or, come to think of it, was that scene just in the Canadian version? ---

I thought it was in the Canadian Airplane. “Do we have any phaser-cutting phaser-sharpening phaser power packs?” “There’s a sale at Penney’s!” ---

I think you guys are getting your movie scenes mixed up. After Bridges phasers the extra, he rides a horse outside and starts demanding to know where the phaser-cutting-phaser is. The crowd stares back at him, and then one guy says, “I’m a phaser-cutting-phaser.” And then another guy says, “_I’m_ a phaser-cutting-phaser!” And then a guy says, “No, _I’m_ Bwian!” I think that’s how it went. Anyway, then it turns out they’re all ghosts. ---

\*\* Cervaise\*\*, that is an incredible analysis, I hadn’t thought of it like that before. But I think you’re right as to why TNG did so well - it wasn’t only the story or the special effects, but it was the development of the characters through the decisions they made, whether the outcome be good or bad. ---

… and after some more people shout, “No, I’m Brian!” a spaceship swoops down. It narrowly misses Brian, hits the ocean, and ascends with two humpback whales. McCoy says, “You know I’m a rather skilled surgeon. I could help you with that.” The whales, puzzled, say, “With what?” McCoy looks puzzled too, “Uh, with your hump.” “What hump?” say the whales. Whereupon Scotty gives a disgusted snort and opens the hatch. The whales begin to fall Earthward from high orbit. We last hear them say, “Oh no, not again…” ---
