YES!! One of the best lines ever that's almost a "throw away" that no one notices. Love that line.

Great, great, movie. Like others, I can watch it over and over and laugh at the same parts again and again.

"Look around you see if you can make a rudimentary lathe."
"Get off the line, Guy!"

Sam Rockwell's delivery on every single line is a pleasure to watch. But, bar none, I think his funniest lines are in the shuttle going down to the alien planet. The whole dialog about what his last name is ending with him whimpering (very loudly), "Mommy! Mommy! MOMMY!" (Followed by Rickman's "Are we there yet?" Classic.) And then, "Don't open that! It's an alien planet! Is there AIR? You don't know!"

*********************************************

"It's okay! I'm a leaf on the wind!!!"
"What does that mean?!?!?!"

Other Rockwell gems :

Did you guys ever WATCH the show?

I'm just jazzed to be on the show, man. (after Rickman says What?)

The long, long SCREAM...AAHHHHH!!!...after he's transported and surrounded by Thermians

The red thingy is headed for the green thingy. I think we're the green thingy.

Hey guys, get a room.

Wait a minute...we're doing episode 81? Because I DIED in episode 81!

I'm not even supposed to be here. I'm just "Crewman Number Six." I'm expendable. I'm the guy in the episode who dies to prove how serious the situation is. I've gotta get outta here.

Oh yeah, what's my last name? You don't know. Nobody knows. Do you know why? Because my character isn't important enough for a last name, because I'm gonna die five minutes in.

And his grand swaggering entrance on the new TV Show opening...he winks as Security Chief Roc Ingersall is introduced.

Which is funny, of course, because he thinks he's safe from being killed off 5 minutes into the show. The same fate that awaited Tasha Yar on TNG

Speaking of Tasha Yar/Denise Crosby.....Why did she leave the show? Was it her decision? She did come back 3 times over the years, and those appearances were terrific.

It boggles me that you skipped "That's just not right" - nobody has ever delivered that line better anywhere.

In a kharmic way, it bothered me that Justin Long's parents who would rather the world die than have the trash wait 5 minutes never ended up getting whacked in some fashion.

Hey sorry, I didn't intend to cause any "boggling" here. I posted a few lines I knew from memory, and a few I copied over from IMDB.

Sir Alexander Dane: Could they be the miners?
Fred Kwan: Sure, they're like three years old.
Sir Alexander Dane: MINERS, not MINORS.
Fred Kwan: You lost me.

LOL. I've never considered Galaxy Quest a must-have movie. But maybe it's time I revised that consideration. It was, after all, hi-larious! :)

I avoided watching it mainly because I wasn't much of a Tim Allen fan. Finally broke down and saw it a few years ago and have been kicking myself ever since. It is one of my favorite movies.

Alan Rickman is the master of line delivery:

Ludicrous! Why are you listening to this fellow? May I remind you, he's wearing a costume, not a uniform!
