Let me tell you why you're here. You're here because you know something. What you know you can't explain. But you feel it. It is this feeling that has brought you here to me today. [Matrix]
This spring, you will take the Red Pill and follow me down the rabbit hole [Matrix] into the Twilight Zone [Twilight Zone].
Party like it's Space: 1999 [Space: 1999] in Lake Mary, The Final Frontier. [Star Trek]
We're going Back to the Future [Back to the Future], to boldly go where no Toastmaster has gone before. [Star Trek]
Adventure. Heh! Excitement. Heh! A Jedi craves not these things. [Star Wars]
Lucky for you, I'm a Toastmaster, not a Jedi.
Fellow Toastmasters, I control the vertical. I control the horizontal [Outer Limits]. I am the “Things to Come” [Shape of Things to Come] conference chair. This is the conference you are looking for. [Star Wars]
Submitted for your approval… [Twilight Zone]
Friday May 18th, we kick off the festivities with movie trailers, a costume contest, and a show not to be forgotten. We'll feast at Milliway's, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe [Hitchhiker's Guide]. After dinner, Table Topics contestants will do battle with impromptu wits as sharp as a bat'leth. [Star Trek]
In the evening, retire to 10-Forward [Star Trek] and Quark's bar [Star Trek]. Enjoy complimentary refreshments such as Romulan Ale [Star Trek], Pan Galactic Gargle Blasters [Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] and jelly babies. [Dr Who]
Saturday morning, Star Fleet Academy [Star Trek] instructors will educate us with relevant and timely sessions, such as "How to build a time machine out of a DeLorean". [Back to the Future] Or possibly not. Help me Dennis Wooldridge, you're my only hope. [Star Wars]
After class, return to Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe for lunch and edutainment. [Hitchhiker's Guide] Later, relax in the movie room, where we'll be screening sci-fi classics.
In the evening, don your finest formal wear as we watch the Intergalactic Speech contestants battle for honor. [Star Trek]
Celebrate the victors at the Mos Eisley Spaceport Cantina. [Star Wars] You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious. [Star Wars]
Get your intergalactic passport now.
Resistance is futile. [Star Trek]
I don't want to hear you say you'll “try”.
Try not. Do or do not, There is no try. [Star Wars]
Don't Panic! [Hitchhiker's Guide] Registration opens mid-March.
Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can bring order to District 84! [Star Wars]
You'll have so much fun you'll say “I'll be back.” [Terminator]
Remember, you are not a number, you are Toastmaster. [The Prisoner]
Hasta la vista, baby. [Terminator 2]
Live long, and Evaluate. [Star Trek]
Dennis, Beam me up. [Star Trek]
