The flashback to young, jacked, sexy, hyper competent 80s Scully and Hitchcock.

People were definitely saying it wrong in the 1980's, which is probably why the writers got it wrong. Pretending that Tommy Boy was that influential is delusional anyway.

I heard “floats” too.

It was definitely being used earlier than Tommy Boy. Check out Strange Brew, over a decade earlier

Yes. That’s it exactly. People added the “Luke” in there so their friends would know what they were quoting. Within a few years, we’d all heard the movie quoted far more than we’d actually seen the movie, so the false quote replaced the real one in our memories.

He was the king of the titular lines! my personal favorite, “Aww boy, Im just so tired of all this traffic, I can’t wait until I get out of Africa” 

Yeah, it seems of a piece with other frequent misquotings like “Play it again, Sam” and “Elementary, my dear Watson”, where the name is inserted in order to make it more instantly recognizable. (I know the Holmes one may be a non-great example because I’m sure there’s been plenty of adaptations that have used that

“Awww, boy. I’m just so tired of all these star wars.”

I feel like I remember the misquoting of the line from earlier than that but I definitely may be wrong...

I’ve really enjoyed the Charles plots this season. Yes, he still weeps when learning the sex of Jake’s baby, but it's clear the badassitude from episode 2 *wasn’t* entirely due to Rosa’a leather jacket.

Surprise Martin Sheen will actually be playing Jake and Amy’s baby. 

Did Terry say “folks”? I thought it was “in and among floats” since he was talking about a parade. But either way, it’s such a great line.

IIRC there was an episode in season 1 or 2 where it was revealed that Hitchcock and Scully are actually genuinely competent detectives, they just want everybody to think they’re incompetent so they’ll only ever be given cases that don’t require them to do any hard work, so it wasn’t a particularly shocking reveal that

“William Wonka” is now my favorite Holt-ism of the season so far.

You can... own an apartment 

Libel is when I think landlords are swell and someone disagrees with me

I don’t have the means to buy at this time because I have had to fork over 25-75% of my wages to landlords. They built up their wealth off of my labor.

Thanks, I hate it.

It is handy to point out that even the best landlords are still not that good. It’s like insurance salesmen. Even the best are still taking advantage of someone’s health. And housing is the best first step to maintain life, allows for more liberty and happiness.

LA Weekly thinks differently.
