Notes
- Hacked from the database pre-ascension. It was believed this item would become common once ascension had been rolled out, however, this expectation is yet to be realized.
Reference
- This phrase comes from the movie Labyrinth, as a precursor to "Dance. magic, dance", a song sung by David Bowie about the baby he has stolen from Jennifer Connelly's character:
"You remind me of the babe. What babe? The babe with the power. What power? The power of voodoo. Who do? You do. Do what? Remind me of the babe!"
It continues on into infinity if you wish it so.
- The "you remind me of the babe" exchange is actually a takeoff of "you remind me of a man," which appeared (and possibly originated) in the 1947 Cary Grant / Myrna Loy movie The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer. Since there's a good chance no one on the dev team has even heard of this movie, the reference is almost certainly a reference to Labyrinth, and this fact is mentioned for purely historical reasons.
- Further, the end quote probably comes from the television series "Law & Order", where the character Executive Assistant District Attorney Ben Stone says, "I'm not the one on trial here, I'm the one asking the questions!".
