He said that Han Solo was cooler than Captain Kirk
Imaginary William Shatner: I'm not really here. I'm one of the top ten imaginary friends kids have. Just behind John Travolta, Reggie Jackson, and Farrah Fawcett-Majors.
Yes, this film would be a whole lot funnier if I was a 30-year-old who cared more about Star Trek and Star Wars, hung out at comic book shops, cruised Toys R' Us for the latest action figure, and really cared about William Shatner.
Unfortunately, I am not one to mess up a perfectly good time with Lori Lively by getting into a discussion of shoes and engagement rings. Save that for later, dude. And, I am not going to mess up a relationship with Audie England because I would rather hang onto some laser-disks instead of paying the light bill.
Claire (Audie England): When are you going to start living in the present instead of the 24th century?
Robert (Rafer Weigel): I would never live in the 24th century! I f*cking HATE "The Next Generation". Only classic!
This is not a slacker movie, as there is really only one slacker in it, but it is about guys with failed relationships and trying to get their stuff together. Mark A. Altman & Robert Meyer Burnett wrote a funny story, which Burnett also directed. It was certainly a much better job of writing than House of the Dead, Mark! The finale? William Shatner rapping Julius Caesar with Rated R. Hmmm.
Mark (Eric McCormack): A musical Julius Ceasar is quite possibly the worst idea I've heard since New Coke.
Robert: Jesus Christ, no kidding. My girlfriend bails on me and then I find out that the man I've idolized since I was two turns out to be a raving loon! I can't believe my life.
Mark: I usually can't believe your life either. But Shatner's dementia is no reason to give up the gospel of the original series!
Robert: Ok the man that we just met is not the man who invented the Corbomite Manuever, or the man who almost died defeating the Doomsday Machine.
Mark: Let it go. Separate the art from the artist. This is L.A., nobody's ever who they appear to be. Other than John Tesh, who's probably exactly who he appears to be.
Robert: No, no no, I'm sorry. Shatner is, was and ever shall be Kirk to me. I need my hero.
Mark: What you need is a bank account.
