What did Scotty say? (spoilers?)

[Jeri]

What? It's not damning God; it's invoking that God would damn it, whatever it is.

Re: What did Scotty say?

Howdy!

In the scene where Old Spock and New Kirk are introduced to New Scotty, Scotty was introducing himself, when Spock went "Fascinating, you are Montgomery Scott." nuKirk goes "You know him?"

Scotty answers, "Hey, that's me, you are in the right place. Unless there is another hard working, equalling starved Starfleet officer around?" Scotty's little alien companion then says "Me.", which annoys Scotty who goes off on the little alien saying gibberish...........

What I heard was.....
"Getchit, shut up! You doing anythin'. You eat like a bee, and your done."
(Huh?)

That's "Get tae f- shut up! You don't eat anything! You eat like a bean, and you're done!"

Later, inside the ship, Scotty again admonishes his alien companion for sitting on some steps...

"Get off of there! It's all climbing for you."

WTF? I have reseen that clip probably twenty times, and it does not make any sense whatsoever. Scotty didn't like his "little buddy" for some odd reason.

Is there a place online where I can read the script?

And that bit's "Get off of there! It's not a climbing frame!"

He does do a fantastic Scottish accent. His wife is Glaswegian I think, which must help!

We can only hope.

Besides...that's the role his buddy Nick Frost was born to play.

Ron Jeremy is not gay. Is he?

No. But if you've ever seen the video where he manages to suck himself off...you'd be mighty damn confused.

Re: Did Scotty yell out "Captain Picard"? [spoilers]

For me, it is the worse cursing you can do, "damning" God is a very evil thing, so I do protest it, and it was unnecessary.

You don't even know what you're upset about. "God damn" isn't "damning God" as you contend. In fact, it means almost exactly the opposite. It is invoking God to condemn something or someone else to hell.

EDIT: Damn, someone else beat me to it.

Allow me to translate:

"Get tae .... [fuck is the word he left out]. You don't eat anything. You eat ... like ... a bean and you're done."

He probably said shut up too but we were laughing too much at the 'get tae ...'; being a Scottish audience and all.

It was crystal clear to me, forbye.

It's interesting that a Weegie on another board said Pegg's accent was crap, when everyone else thought it was great. That's Weegies for you. If it doesn't have 'man' at the end of every sentence it's not kosher.

Re: Did Scotty yell out "Captain Picard"? [spoilers]

I hated the inclusion of that word, made me cringe, there was no reason for it, for me, that one word lessened the movie due to its nature, I must protest its use.

Even going back to the original TOS, isn't "goddammit" a very Leonard H McCoy expression? I thought it served the purpose of further cementing Urban's wonderful take on the character. I was sitting there in the cinema, and after a while I started to see and hear the great DeForest Kelley. Urban was that good.

For me, it is the worse cursing you can do, "damning" God is a very evil thing, so I do protest it, and it was unnecessary.

That's the only one I have a problem with though in an otherwise great movie.

Actually the expression isn't "damning" God it is a request for God to DAMN something.

ie if I say God Bless it, I am not saying Bless God, I am saying God...bless it(it being the object of the discussion such as a a phaser before going into battle).

Likewise if I say God Damn it, I am not saying Damn God, I am saying God...damn it(it being the object of the discussion, ie a broken radio or something gone wrong).

 

[Deckerd]

Maybe I should point out at this juncture that saying god damn something doesn't mean god is being damned.

Oh give me a BREAK!

As another poster's sig here says, God doesn't care about you because he doesn't exist!

It's the GOD DAMNED twenty first century! Time to leave the voodoo dolls and shrouds of Turin back in the past, wouldn't you say?

If one doesn't believe in God then it is not an "evil" thing to say. It would be like you saying "damn Odin!" No one would think that is evil. How dare you call McCoy evil.

"Weegies." Glaswegian is one of my favorite "whaddaya call someone from that place" sorts of words. I am also fond of Liverpudlians... as a word that is.

Simon Pegg acted more like Groundskeeper Willie than Montgomery Scott.

Re: Did Scotty yell out "Captain Picard"? [spoilers]

McCoy does say 'gd' once or twice in the movie series, but that's the only time he uses that word.

Well that answers that. Clearly it's something McCoy would say, they just couldn't say it on TV with censors (so he said it in the movies). This is a movie, therefore he could say it.

Glaswegians are of course more correctly know as Soap Dodgers.

Salad is packing, designed to hold your kebab in place in it's box.

Indeed, see the scene in TFF when McCoy is watching Kirk and Spock on the mountainside:

Kirk also uses it a few times in TFF:

I know for sure that Kirk says God in TOS...I can't remember which episode but I KNOW that he said it....can anyone back me up on this?
