Werner Heisenberg is stopped after speeding. The cop walks up to his car and says "Sir, do you know how fast you were going?" Heisenberg smiles and says "No, but I know exactly where I am."
In the same vein: Dresden Codak! Gatac

^ In fact, I knew what Nate was talking about, but I wasn't actually quoting anything or anyone. That was just me replying (as me) to your question above, and was not intended as a reference to anything else.
My "Was what a Golgafrinchan Captain quote?" was merely a response to Nate's habitual (compulsive?) practice of trying to twist even the most simple and direct utterances into something entirely other than what was intended by the utterer. Quote:

Oh, I never thought you were quoting anything, really. It's just that it might still be that someone said it somewhere. I was just trying to figure out what Nate was thinking about.

Signifying nothing.
The scene is from the TV version. Of course all of the versions are slightly tweaked one from the other. As a sidestory of this phenomenon, I have to express my regret that one altered line that Douglas Adams approved of never made it to the big screen. In the original Hitchhiker's, way back in the late 70s/early 80s, humans were so amazingly primitive that they still thought digital watches were a pretty neat idea. For the movie he indicated that it should be modernized so we were so amazingly primitive that we still thought cellular telephones were a pretty neat idea. It would've tied in very well with the movie storyline, but too bad, so sad. So I have a habit of trying to sound clever. How else are you going to know that I am?
