Ding x 3

That is to say, we have a winner. Andrew, your second guess is correct. Han is the man. The instance is in the Episode IV Special Edition where Jabba visits the hanger where the Falcon is docked and Han says, referring to a group which included Boba Fett, "Look, Jabba, next time you want to talk to me, come see me yourself. Don't send one of those twerps."

So, yay for trivia. Also, I might mention that while movie trivia is fun we should have other categories and perhaps post questions and answers with the category name in bold, thus:

MOVIE trivia: What movie is this line from: "Is he the one that delivered the milk last week?"

SCIENCE trivia: Cousins to lightning bolts, red sprites occur near the edge of what?

MYSTERY trivia: The Oak Island Money Pit is how many feet in diameter?

TRIVIA trivia: What is the name of Pom Pom's rarely seen canine pal?

and this one I just can't resist and since it's so obscure, if you can actually tell me the right answer I'll buy you lunch at Gandolfo's or Jake's or the Pie:

OBFUSCATED OBSCURE POP MEDIA trivia: In the TV serial starring a man who has also singlehandedly performed Dickens' A Christmas Carol, sixteen episodes before the one which has the same name as one of the songs on Bela Fleck and the Flecktones' bass player's first solo album is one that has the same name as what interestingly linked movie?

ETC. trivia: And so forth...

YOU trivia: get the picture.

Except for those last two, I'll let the rest stand as actual trivia questions. Post answers as you find them. Andrew, I'm guessing either Used Cars or I Wanna Hold Your Hand for Spielberg.

Marching band uniform turn-in today. And getting Mr. Maxon's goat. Too bad. Too bad.

PARTING SHOT trivia: Those last two sentences were, aside from describing the film transfer experience today, also the last two sentences of a short story by Isaac Asimov titled what?
