Daily Dialogue — April 17, 2013

Admiral Seasholtz: Okay. Hilarious, everyone. Looks like we got more Lucas hounds here to mock Roddenberry. Congratulations, gentleman, but I would like to see your Darth Vader take on one Borg drone. And we’ll see who’s laughing then. Am I right?
Windows: Darth Vader can put the entire Borg collective in a vice grip with his mind.
Admiral Seasholtz: Uh, Darth Vader has asthma, so name me one Star Trek character with a respiratory disease, ’cause I’m drawing a blank.
Linus: Name me one Star Wars character who’s gay.
Hutch: Beside’s you.
Admiral Seasholtz: Well, no one’s gay in Star Trek, so why would I even do that?
Linus: Captain Picard.
Admiral Seasholtz: Okay. Captain Picard is not gay. He’s British.
Windows: [in a swishy voice] Come on. “Make it so!”

— Fanboys (2009), screenplay by Ernest Cline and Adam F. Goldberg, story by Ernest Cline and Dan Pulick

The Daily Dialogue theme for the week is fan boy/girl conversations, suggeted by plinytheelder. Today’s suggestion by Dean Scott.

Trivia: The coffee shop where Windows meets Rogue Leader is called “Java the Hut.” This isn’t just a clever play on words involving the Star Wars character, it’s also the name of the coffee shop where Kristen Bell’s character worked in Veronica Mars.

Dialogue On Dialogue: Star Wars vs. Star Trek, the ultimate fan boy debate.
