'You are not a pleasure unit.'


This line cracks me up. I love how Flint can break his playmates out of their brainwashing simply by repeating this line.

Kind of reminded me of the dialog in "Animal House" between Boon and Otter:
"He can't do that to one of our pledges!"
"Right - only WE can do that to one of our pledges!"

And in regards to the man running the preparation room ---

Please don't squeeze the pleasure units"

"Please don't squeeze the pleasure units"

Good eye, restcure. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0933304/

Apparently that guy in the rescue craft near the end of the movie did not pay attention to any such directive. Watch Gila Golan when she is being "helped" out of the drum. Hilarious.

I think that guys nickname might have been "Paws"

"Please use elevator, stairs stuck between floors."

Or the Charmin.

Schrodinger's cat walks into a bar, and / or doesn't.

Maybe Flint was able to pull them out of their 'trances' so easily because they recognized him, and realized that he had come to rescue them. Or perhaps they hadn't been under GALAXY's control long enough for the hypnosis to become permanent.

And then takes them home to where they are pleasure units.

reply

Maybe so, considering the times. But with Flint they didn't have to be hypnotized.
