Oh, I never thought you were quoting anything, really. It's just that it might still be that someone said it somewhere. I was just trying to figure out what Nate was thinking about.

Signifying nothing.
The scene is from the TV version. Of course all of the versions are slightly tweaked one from the other. As a sidestory of this phenomenon, I have to express my regret that one altered line that Douglas Adams approved of never made it to the big screen. In the original Hitchhiker's, way back in the late 70s/early 80s, humans were so amazingly primitive that they still thought digital watches were a pretty neat idea. For the movie he indicated that it should be modernized so we were so amazingly primitive that we still thought cellular telephones were a pretty neat idea. It would've tied in very well with the movie storyline, but too bad, so sad. So I have a habit of trying to sound clever. How else are you going to know that I am?

You talk as though it's negative six on a scale of ten. I'd argue that it's about...seven. I paid five bucks for my DVD and never regretted it for a second. Of COURSE I'd never pay the full price of twentysomething, but it's...um...can I get back to you?

Seven? That's minus-seven, right?

Okay, anyone who disses Hitchhiker's in ANY incarnation is pressing my rage button. Please don't make me Hulk out on you:
Nate: You're making me angry. You won't like me when I'm angry. Besides, I just got these purple pants pressed last week. I'd hate to send your widow/widower the laundry bill.

So you argue that there is not one single bit of redeeming value? Funny, because I count the following jokes not present in any other form of Hitchhiker's:
The worshippers of the Great Green Arkleseizure sneezing in praise of their creator, and Humma Kavula says, "Bless you." Arthur: Do you have any ideas, Marv? Marvin: I have millions of ideas. They all end in certain death. Arthur: Marvin, can you lend me a hand? The ENTIRE paddle sequence on Vogsphere. And as a side benefit, anytime you get to listen to Journey of the Sorcerer is worth something in my book.

It's writers deserve death. They ripped out everything that made the Guide unique, and made it into 'yet another *wacky* British movie!!!!!'.

Too reminiscent of centaur for my tastes.

Tuvix: I love you.
Kes: Isn't that semiadultery or something? Tuvix: Meh. CV: I eat centaur steaks. NTG: Isn't that semicannibalism or something? CV: Meh.

Should have read 'leg or breast'. Apologies for the mistake.

The film is kind of bad though, isn't it? Compared to the books and the BBC audio series anyway... Still, it is tHHGttG... I seem to remember I hated how they portrayed Marvin, but the rest was okay. Oh right, and it was also over too soon. :P
