back row l to r, Marcia, Mike, Brian, Twist
front row, Daisy and Tim.
I don't know if any of you have seen the BBC show Spaced. ( I know Alf and Darth Skellington and possibly Borsk have) It stars
Simon Pegg (Shawn in Shawn of the Dead and the new Scotty in J.J.
Abrams new Trek movie).
Anyway, Simon plays Tim, who works in a comic shop and loves SW. He
and his roommate Daisy invite their neighbor Brian over to watch the
O.T. and here's the quote.
BTW, Tim has tears streaming down his face when he says this:
[Tim, Daisy and Brian have all just watched the original Star Wars
trilogy]
Tim: Brian, did you notice that everything that transpired in those
three films - and I *mean* everything - can be attributed to the
actions of one very *minor* character?
Brian: Who?
Tim: The gunner on the Star Destroyer at the beginning of the first
film.
Brian: How come?
Tim: [know-it-all] Well. Hmmhmmhmm. Because, if the gunner *had* shot
the pod that C-3P0 and R2 were in, they wouldn't have got to
Tatooine, they wouldn't have met Luke, Luke wouldn't have met Ben,
they wouldn't have met Han and Chewie, they wouldn't have rescued
Princess Leia. *None* of it would have happened.
Brian: Chaos Theory!
Tim: Eh?
Brian: The predictability of random events. The notion that reality
as we know it, past, present and future is actually a mathematically
predictable preordained system.
Daisy: So somewhere out their in the vastness of the unknown is an
equation... for predicting the future!
Brian: An equation so complex as to utterly defy any possibility of
comprehension by even the most brilliant human mind, but an equation
nonetheless.
Tim: Oh my God!
Brian: What?
Tim: I've got some f**king Jaffa Cakes in my coat pocket!
Hee hee. Spaced is available on DVD!
