When Cartman said mostly at the end of a sentence(and he did it twice), it is the parody of when Anakin said he saved the pod racer, mostly... Spiffy, huh?

Actually, it's an Aliens reference. You even see&hear the line early in the episode. I saw Aliens two days ago, which is kind of strange....

They never said that in the real Aliens movie, it still was a parody of Anakin Skywalker, so just admit it!

I'm pretty sure they did say that in Aliens, dude.

Anakin also said it in Episode I, so maybe George Lucas put an Aliens reference in a Star Wars film. Did you ever think about that, hot shot?

"Mostly" is just a word! You think if they put the work "beach" in an episode they're paroding Jaws?

It isn't the word itself, it's the way he said it. You're in denial.

Could you be more of a retard? The fuckin line is from Aliens. It sounds like you're in denial since you're the only one bitching about this...we're all comfortable with the fact that it comes from Aliens.

Maybe so, but Aliens did it first, so screw George Lucas and that piece of 2 hour shit that he tried to pawn off as a good sci fi movie.

But there still was a Star Wars reference: "Help me Kitty, you're my only hope!"

Daniel Gilison http://www.stanford.edu/~gilison [email] My friends think I'm apathetic, but I don't care.

I think the "Help" here is a reference to the Beatles movie of the same name. ( Am I reading too much into this, or is this just a ridiculous post to begin with?) . . STAN Can I have five tickets to Terrance and Phillip "Asses of Fire," please?

TICKET GUY NO!

actually that was from Episode 4: A New Hope

Right... that was Princess Leia's line in that hologram she plugged into R2-D2.

No, it was Aliens (the second movie in the Alien series). Newt, the little girl that Ripley rescues (only to become toast in the third flick) says that "...they (the Aliens) mostly come out at night, mostly."

Now, you admit it!

First of all, calm down man. Now go rent Aliens. Right after they get Newt she says they need to hide because "they mostly come out at night. Mostly." Besides, they show Cartman watching Aliens anyway! Obviously, that scene is what inspired Cartmans mostly lines. So, they DID say that in the real Aliens movies, it was NOT a parody of Anakin Skywalker, so just admit it!

I've never seen Aliens, so the jokes on you! :P

Uh... yes, they did.

It was "Newt" talking to Ripley about the aliens.

"They mostly come out at nigjht. Mostly."

Not only was it in the movie, but they go as far as to show an animated clip of that scene in this week's episode.

I win.

What IS the exact quote anyway? The only TPM ref I caught was the more obvious one, when a character (who will remain nameless for those who haven't seen it) says, "Wesa gonna die?" (obvious reference to Jar Jar Binks in the SW1 trailer).

Weren't you watching the show? Cartman got it from Aliens, which he was watching just before his mom told him Shelly was going to babysit.

Strange how Cartman picks up things so readily.
