NARRATOR: 75,000 light years away, aboard the free gunship Bristlecone...
NICK: That movie was stupid.
KATHRYN: How can you tell? You were talking through the whole thing.
NICK: I wasn't talking. I was complaining.
KATHRYN: We picked an action movie this time so you wouldn't complain.
NICK: Well, you should have picked one that wasn't stupid. Did you see Sergeant Hatchett's pistols?
KATHRYN: Oh, not this again.
NICK: The GG-130 can't have custom grips and a palm lock.
KATHRYN: That's just an engineering problem. Hatchett could have had his pistols custom-made.
NICK: On a cop's salary? No way.
KATHRYN: Look, the story required him to have white gold pistol grips. Otherwise his bullets wouldn't have hurt the ghosts. They explained that.
NICK: But they didn't explain how he got white gold grips and a palm lock onto a police-issue GG-130.
KATHRYN: So... you'll let them make up rules about ghosts, but they can't make up rules about custom pistols?
NICK: They can't make up rules about custom pistols because I already know those rules.
NICK: Wait... are you saying they made up all that stuff about the ghosts?
KATHRYN: For just a moment there I thought you had a career as a film critic ahead of you.
