Oh what a giggle fest...
I went and saw Star Wars Episode Three this afternoon and although I did enjoy the movie (the best of the prequels without a doubt) I would like to relay my favorite piece of dialog from the movie.
Just to set the stage here, Obi-Wan is confronting Anakin face-to-face for the first time since he became Darth Vader. Now here are the two lines that made me bust out laughing, though I was the only one in the theater that thought it was humorous (but I have to admit it was in the afternoon in the middle of Mississippi):
Anakin (to Obi-wan): "If you are not with me, then you are against me!"
Obi-wan (in reply): "Only a Sith deals in absolutes!"
(Enter hysterical laughter and the rest of the theater looking at me like I was crazy)
Here's how the rest of that dialog concluded in my head:
Anakin (in a horrible Eddie Izzard Cockney accent): "Haha, that means you a Sith too!"
Obi-wan (in Eddie Izzard's God voice, a.k.a James Mason): "I am not!"
Anakin : "Are so!"
Obi-wan: "Am not times a thousand!"
Anakin : "No, no. See you said only Sith deal in absolutes."
Obi-wan : "Yeah, and?"
Anakin : "By saying 'Only sith' that is an absolute statement, therefore making you a Sith by your own definition!"
Obi-wan : "Well...."
Anakin : "Ah...."
Obi-wan : "But..."
Anakin (jumping up and down and clapping like a little school girl) : "You're a sith, you're a sith!"
Obi-wan : "Damn, foiled by irrefutable logic!"
Anakin : "Hey, let's go call Master Yoda and see if we can fool him too. Then we can all be Sith together and it'll be like a secret club! We can have our own secret handshake and everything. Well, as long as it's a handshake that I can do with the driod hand and all."
Obi-wan : "Brilliant! But don't forget to do the inverted sentence thing or it may not work."
Anakin : "Ah fug it, let's just go have tea."
Obi-wan : "Quite right."
Please tell me that I was not the only one who found that exchange (the real one in the movie) so ironic as to be hilarious.
