1 | !!The novel |
2 | * Only two pages in and the ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' series immediately {{establish|ingSeriesMoment}}es what it's going to be full of: semi-relevant anecdotes (in this case, a discussion on the World Turtle A'Tuin) with a SoBadItsGood {{pun}}ny joke at the end (the big "bang" theory). |
3 | * Rincewind trying to swear at Twoflower in Trobian, which doesn't really have profanities: |
4 | --> You little ''[such a one who, while wearing a copper nose ring, stands in the bath atop Mt. Raruaruaha during a thunderstorm and shouts that the goddess of lightning has the face of a diseased uloruaha root]''!! |
5 | * Rincewind working out the meaning of several words Twoflower uses, like "tourist": |
6 | --> Twoflower was a tourist, the first ever seen on the Discworld. Tourist, Rincewind had decided, meant "idiot". |
7 | * "Some pirates achieved immortality by grand deeds of cruelty or derring-do. Some achieved immortality by amassing great amounts of wealth. But the Captain had long ago decided that he would, on the whole, prefer to achieve immortality by not dying." |
8 | * The competing theories about the nature of the universe: the Steady Gait (as opposed to our world's Steady State theory of Fred Hoyle) and the Big Bang hypothesis - which, as it involves turtles mating, is the ''other'' meaning of 'bang'... |
9 | * The following exchange: |
10 | --> '''Krullian woman:''' My name is immaterial. |
11 | --> '''Rincewind:''' That's a pretty name. |
12 | |
13 | !!The 2008 TV film |
14 | * Rincewind attempting suicide by jumping off the docks is sad an all, but it immediately becomes funny when he's saved by a rising platform... And then it becomes hilarious when we suddenly cut to '''Death''' nearby who grumbles at the man's survival. |
15 | -->[[AC:Death: ...Disappointing.]] |
16 | * When Rincewind and Twoflower are meeting for the first time they are discussing the Counterweight Continent. |
17 | -->'''Rincewind''': But the legend says it's made of gold. |
18 | -->'''Twoflower''': Well, it's not made of gold. Gold is just a really common metal there. |
19 | --> '''Rincewind''': You might like to keep that to ourselves. |
20 | -->''(Rincewind turns around and sees Broadman several inches away from his face)'' |
21 | * Rincewind is trying to drag Twoflower out of Death's house. Then we get this exchange: |
22 | -->'''Twoflower''': Amazing! I've never been at Death's door before! |
23 | -->''([[LamePunReaction Rincewind punches him across the face]])'' |
24 | ** When they manage to escape Death's house. |
25 | --->[[AC: Death: [[DeathIsCheap I should just install a revolving door...]]]] |
26 | * Rincewind flipping off Broadman and Blind Hugh after succeeding in communicating with Twoflower. |
27 | * In a deleted scene, Trymon is shown hiring Herenna to bring back Rincewind. Herenna asks if Rincewind is like all wizards, long-robed smokers. Trymon states the contrary: Rincewind is scruffy, incompetent and can't even spell the word "wizard". Herenna has a hilarious look of disbelief on the last remark. |
28 | * From the HilariousOuttakes: |
29 | ** David and Sean, tied together, try to stand up... and the rope breaks. |
30 | ** Lord Vetinari getting Rincewind's name wrong. |
31 | ** Rincewind tries to bail on Twoflower, but forgets his hat. |
32 | ** David drawling, "Yes, you try it, love, I've already sorted a girl out." |
33 | * In another deleted scene, Rincewind uses reverse psychology to get Twoflower to come to Ankh-Morpork with him and can't help but insult Twoflower while doing so. |
34 | -->'''Rincewind''': Anyway, following me only guarantees the risk of death. Or was it following ''you''? I can't remember. |
