CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Scotty (James Doohan) introduces an astonished engineer to future technology in order to build the whale tanks.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986) concludes the story arc begun with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982) and continued in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984), but on a wholly new, different, and upbeat note. As the movie opens, months have elapsed since the events in Star Trek III; Admiral Kirk (William Shatner), McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Scott (James Doohan), Sulu (George Takei), Uhura (Nichelle Nichols), and Chekhov (Walter Koenig) are marooned in self-imposed exile on Vulcan, along with the resurrected and regenerated Spock (Leonard Nimoy, who also directed). While Spock tries to sort out the Vulcan and human halves of his resurrected psyche, the others prepare to return to Earth to face a brace of charges by the Klingon Empire and Star Fleet over events on Genesis. Taking off in their commandeered, jerry-rigged Klingon ship, they head to Earth, not knowing that a new crisis could destroy their home world -- a huge, immensely powerful alien probe has entered the galaxy and established a position near Earth, disabling every vehicle and installation in its path with its energy and communication output, and has ionized the entire atmosphere and started vaporizing the oceans, leaving the planet only hours to survive. Spock determines that the probe is sending out signals to another intelligent terrestrial life form, humpbacked whales, which no longer exist. Using the gravity slingshot time-warp effect (established early in the original series) to travel back into Earth's 20th century, Kirk and company land in 1980s San Francisco to try and bring humpbacked whales to the 23rd century, to respond to the probe. Thus starts a surprisingly breezy, light-hearted, yet serious odyssey through the past (comparable to the best work of the original series), as the crew learns to deal with exact-change buses, angry drivers, punk-rock enthusiasts and other elements of '80s life, and Kirk tries to persuade a scientist (Catherine Hicks) of his good intentions for two whales in captivity. The screenplay, co-authored by Steve Meerson, Peter Krikes, Nicholas Meyer, and Harve Bennett (from a story by Nimoy and Bennett), is the cleverest and most sophisticated of all the Star Trek movie screenplays, recalling some of the elements of Meyer's earlier time-travel movie Time After Time and also anticipating the feel and tone of the series Star Trek: The Next Generation (which would be on the air not quite a year later). Nimoy's direction offers a combination of brisk pacing and a deep love of the characters and the actors, as well as a serious appreciation of the humorous aspects of the script, and Shatner gives his best performance of any of the movies.

LOL, this is one of those scenes that'll always be timeless. Back in the 80s, we laughed because we knew out computers couldn't respond to voice commands. Now, we laugh because the computer is too old to respond to voice commands.
Lol I never thought of it that way. The joke still works, but for an entirely different reason, interesting.
They could, in the future from 1980, and they can just about now in 2020. But the voice response still lacks general purpose intelligence or a model of the world it inhabits.

We've come this way in 30 years, imagine where we would be in 300 years
Today we laugh because, um, Siri. One day we will laugh because...
To this day - in 2021, I STILL use “hello computer?” and “that’s the ticket laddie” in regular conversation. For damn near 35 years. Both from this scene.
He should have said "Hello Google"
Lol! I say “Hello Computer” once in a while too. Classic!
Alexa, do you work for the government?
Some airline pilots start their takeoff run with "Engage"
lol me too, weird isn't it?!
I actually like the plant manager. He is well-nformed, passionate about his work, knowledgeable in his craft, and still open to new ideas. A very good many to work for.
Exactly, so he may well have invented the thing
And he quit smoking.
I worked with a materials engineer, that reminds me alot of him... great guy, just don't look in the little fridge next to his desk... I swear some of the stuff in there evolved into lifeforms and fought wars with eachother...
He, like Spock, has no pride to bruise.
Madeline had her issues, mind you.
It’s so nice to see Scotty doesn’t just know what works. He knows the formulas like a good engineer would.
The guy relaxes by reading technical manuals so no surprise there
@@potsdam28 Plus he's written a lot of the technical manuals.
Pi r squared
@@potsdam28 Lol. I recall that scene in Star Trek where Kirk confines Scotty to his quarters for fighting with Klingons in a bar. Scotty thanks Kirk, responding that now he will have time to read his technical manuals.
@@HariSeldon913 Yeah that is one of my favorite Episode of TNG: Relics and it's true a good engineer is a wee bit conservative with the specifications at least on paper. 🤓
I really wonder if people realize how many people went into Fields like engineering, medicine or even became astronauts because of Star Trek
There's a reason the space shuttle's first prototype was called Enterprise.
I did...Engineering and Scotty and Laforge were inspirations.
I am inspired by Darmok.
The communicators on the original show were the inspiration for cell phones.
Some of our issues regarding healthcare could be solved if the Doctor hologram on Voyager was a real thing.

"A keyboard? How quaint."
And then proceeds to blow through a batch of calculations, diagrams, molecular structures, and God-only-knows what else on an ancient Mac while using an OS that he probably never had contact with before in his life. Say what you will, Scotty's GOOD....
+Bill Scheitzach At least his approach to 1984's technology isn't as annoying as McCoy's. We get it, Bones, it's primitive. Now can you please save Chekov's life already?!
+Bill Scheitzach Not to mention mastering typing with ten fingers in mere seconds!
+Schwatvogel Actually nine fingers. Jimmy Doohan was missing one of his middle fingers.
Not to mention there appears to be "transparent aluminium" already in the computers database. A computer will not spit out trivial/arbitrary names without someone inserting it to the computer in the first place ;-)
Now if Scotty had access to a Surface Pro 4, different deal!
McCoy: "You realize of course, if you give him the formula, you're altering the future." Scotty: "How do you know he didn't invent the thing?" (McCoy chuckles)
If we give you anything then it's yours. Don't say you got it from us. It was inevitable someone rediscover it. If you wish power can help the world. We don't mind just handing it to you. Be careful power corrupts the heart. Owe no one anything but to love them.
Actually in the book Scotty says he invented it.
@@nancyjanzen5676 In Trouble with Tribbles it is shown Scotty is crazy about reading up on Engineering with his Journals. I think in those journals it would have shown who invented transparent aluminum.
I think what the real feat here is not selling the idea to the good manager here, but to not be geeking out over meeting the laddie.
It is also quite likely that Scotty was making sure that the guy wasn't already working on the material with his questions.
This is a self fulfilling prophecy.
@@Todd1356 And the time bureau hates that.
McCoy looking like a boss as usual.
He had the hands of surgeon
Of course. He's part of Kirk's inner circle.
Yeah
@dwarfer777 he's a Dr not a computer programmer! Lol
All 3 of these men are brilliant actors. There are subtle nuances everywhere. It goes from professional friendliness to disbelief to irritation to McCoy's devilish sideways look at the foreman. Speaking of whom, when Scotty is struggling with the keyboard, you can tell the foreman is balancing his admiration for Scott's "engineering knowledge" to whether he's a nut to seeing him type fast and confidently, etc. This is a master class in acting.
VERY WELL SAID! 👍🏼.. i actually had to rewind several times to listen to what they said .. tho' not a lot to memorize it's intricate dialogue and as you eloquently put it VERY well delivered! I miss these guys. 🥲
I don't think you watched the same scene I did. McCoy has the same look on his face throughout the entire scene, and at no point is Scotty "struggling" with the keyboard.
@@CoCotheTurtle ..i think he meant "strugglin" when Scotty SPOKE to "computer" prior to doin "archaic way" via 👐🏻 ⌨️..
@@1badjesus Nope. He said, "Scotty is struggling with the keyboard."
@@CoCotheTurtle I meant when Scotty picks up the mouse and says "Computer?"
Call me eccentric but Dr. Nichols is one of my favourite characters in Star Trek IV. I've worked at companies like his- small but serious, professional but unglamorous- and the man himself's that way but neither is he anyone's fool, and I felt good that he got credit in the end for inventing transparent aluminium, on top of helping save the last of the humpback whales.
I know exactly what you mean, unfortunately it's increasingly becoming the case that such companies are swallowed up by major conglomerates, this results in a lowering of quality and also price rises.
Scotty asks the question, then Nichols gives a quick answer, doing the math in his head.
I also loved the way he lit up when he saw…. Transparent aluminum 😊
A few seconds later in the scene, McCoy asks Scotty if they may be changing history by giving Nichols the formula. Scotty then asks McCoy, "How do you know he didn't invent it?" Scotty knew he did, they confirmed it in the novelization.
@videowilliams do you say “not now, Madeleine” when you assistant walks in while you’re talking to time travelers?
Amazing that Macintosh Plus didn't start smoking while Scotty was typing or after he hit "enter".
As an early Mac buyer in March 1984, seeing that scene always gives me fond memories of how I blew $2,500 of my savings, while unemployed no less, for a computer that did a nice Alice chessboard simulation and had a cool digital clock. That "easy" upgrade for more RAM proved to involve cutting traces on the motherboard. RIP Jobs, ya got me, and many others...but for a while there, the dreams of what we might do with it were really good. Looks like in the end, with regards to health, he even fooled himself.
It should have popped up a progress bar which stopped moving, then a window with a fused bomb saying "Ok?".
Jimserac Seriously? That’s what you had to do to upgrade the RAM? In what reality is that easy? lol
@@FJF1085 1984
@@Jimserac Jobs redeemed himself with iPod and then iPhone.
The part where he's talking to the computer and Bones thinks he's all smart by handing him the mouse makes me laugh so hard.
I love how he goes from slowly poking keys with two fingers, to expert level typing in a matter of seconds.
Well he's not used to that keyboard layout, a lot has changed since the 24th century, and he's obviously not familiar with the software so it takes him some time, plus he only has 3 fingers on one hand after all.
@@kg4boj he's from the late 23rd century
That was a hand modeln
400 years was plenty of time to come up with really good noots.
Scotty be Scotty ladd.
This scene not only has iconic lines, it's one of the few times you can see James Doohan's missing finger. He always took pains to conceal it, since he believed it would be trivial to fix in the 23rd century, and thus would detract from the believable portrayal of his character if it was revealed. His right middle finger was shot off shortly after D-Day when he was crossing between two friendly positions and one of his own sentries got a bit panicky and fired on him before he could identify himself. He took six rounds from a Bren gun (a light machine gun): four in the leg, one in the chest, and one through his finger. The round to the chest was deflected by the silver cigarette case his brother had given him.
That's the reason his iconic motion to energize the transporter is done with his fingers curled over the slider grips on the levers: it was set up that way so that he could hold it and his fingers would be curled over and out of the shot, by his request to the set designer. It's also why he almost always turned to his left in the chair at his command station on the bridge to talk to Kirk or another bridge crew member: his right hand was then behind him and out of shot.
Thank you for that little bit of background. 👍👍
I found that out from my ex who had the privilege of giving Mr. Doohan a tour at Disney World. They shook hands and it was immediately obvious that his digit was missing. They actually commiserated briefly because my ex was also missing a finger. His left ring finger was severed just above the lowest joint by a table saw in high school.
Actually looked for it in this scene, but didn't see it.

When Scotty is transitioning from the mouse to the keyboard at 1:27 - you might have to slow down the playback speed and watch James Doohan’s hand near the bottom of the frame.
All these years and I still remember laughing at Scotty's "How quaint."
People say they quote this scene, and they mean "Hello computer!".
But it's the "How quaint" part that gets the most use from me.
To anyone who hasn't seen the film: This is the best Star Trek film ever made. I know most people point to Wrath of Khan, but that was a departure from the style of the series, and would fwork just as well without the franchise. Voyage Home felt more like a classic Star Trek adventure, and it's totally family friendly, and therefore a good introduction to the Star Trek universe
AverageO And if you watch it first you lose all of its meaning. You must see the other films first.
Nah this film was crap. Time travel episodes in the series almost always suck, and this movie followed that pattern. ST2 and 6 are a million times better then this garbage film.
@@TheStapleGunKid At least First Contact did it well enough. But yeah for the most part the time travel episodes were meh at best. The mirror universe episodes in Trek were always more interesting than the time travel episodes. Would have been cool to see them done in a movie.
@@Whatatwist2009 I didn't like the mirror universe episodes either. The first one from the original series was okay, but after that they just seemed like wastes of time done when writers couldn't think of anything to do that effected the real Star Trek world.
It's very good. But there is also a case to be made for The Undiscovered Country.
Rip James Doohan and Deforest Kelly . Both great actors who have given us many good times over the years
Doohan was also on Juno Beach on D-Day.
Doohan was shot 6 times in WW2. he lost the middle finger on his right hand. wounded on D Day. Royal Canadian Artillery.
The fact that transparent aluminum exists is what i’m amazed about this scene. Because as a kid, i thought that was laughable and then i find out it’s real. That’s when i found respect for the science of star trek.
In the movie McCoy asks Scotty if they are changing history by giving him the formula
It's stated in the novel that the director actually is the inventor of it
@@cliffcorson4000 In the movie Scotty is more cavalier about it: "How do we know he didn't invent the thing?" Funnier, but probably gets the Time Police on his tail...
@@gordoncameron8222 in the book and audio book he follows up saying that the person did invent it
@@cliffcorson4000 I know; for some reason I actually read that passage in the novelization decades ago. I prefer the humor of the movie version, though.

@@GamingDragonFlower I’m still laughing at that too, 37 years later 🤣🤣🤣 and the way she tip-toed out of the office 🤣🤣🤣
@@babs926 Aside from a "coffee break", WHY was Madeline there? If Nichols can so easily give a visiting Scottish professor of Engineering several thousand dollars worth of inventory, who knows what OTHER "hanky-panky" those two are up to!
This is my favorite scene of all the Star Trek movies ever made.
William Mann It's one of my favorites too. Its most like an original series episode. It gives each character their own chances to shine.
I love it too!!! Love love love love it
It's too bad they cut it there. It's the "right" place, but you miss the interruption, which we find hilarious.
Odd. I love it too
Me Too.
I remember howling with laughter at this scene, especially when Scotty picks up the mouse and talks into it like a microphone. Hilarious. Probably my favorite of all the TOS crew movies, even over Wrath of Khan (by a tiny bit).
yeah that was an epic scene to watch as a child🤣
Joke's on star trek. Transparent aluminum is now a thing.
Scroll down :-) It's awesome.

Didn't Leonard Nimoy write Star Trek IV? Since they got the idea from Nimoy they should pay him 10% of profits to his estate, then donate 2% of that to ME for mentioning it??? lol
KLUKNET, Leonard Nimoy is _dead_, sadly. They could pay his son, but frankly the very notion of paying royalties to an actor for saying lines is ludicrous; even paying royalties to the writer would be daft.
Nimoy directed and co-wrote this movie. However, this did not give him a patent on the technologies it inspired. After all, the communicators from the original show inspired cell phones. One could only imagine what the royalties for the Roddenberry family would be.

"Not NOW MADELINE!"
Maybe she wanted to say: "There is a Professor Scott, who wants to see you."
Madeline was wanting to summarize the "not great" board meeting results that just finished. Next week, the board will be most pleased.
@Brandon Taylor Agent Max Walker is on the case!
She wanted to give him a "quickie"!
In Scottys voice “Alexa, show me the formula for transparent aluminum”... 😂😂😂
I'm gonna try that with Google. 🤣
Well...
The Fiend is, 'sorta' like transparent aluminum...I suppose
(Can't help the WWE reference there, lol)
Since a MAC was there, I guess a 'Hey Siri' start would have been more appropriate. :) But your idea is very witty, I appreciate that.
Alexa, show me the girls with the big dirty butts, achhh aye that's very nice
Alexa: I'm sorry, I do not understand, could you repeat that?
Scotty: *talks into back of mouse* "Hello, Computer!"
Oh, Scotty...
🗣 Alexa!
🗣 Siri!
🗣 wtf.. hello???
I know they're fish out of water, but Scotty and the computer, I still laugh at this scene.
I was studying Mechanical Drafting and Design at Rowan Cabarrus Community College in Salisbury North Carolina back in 1986 when this movie came out. As an Engineering student at the time this was (and still is) my favorite scene in the whole movie.
I remember reading the novelization of the movie, and Scotty points out that he hadn't messed with the timeline because he hadn't told him how to make it. He still had to figure that out on his own.
McCoy pulled Scotty aside, and asked him if this might effect history( prime directive) Scotty replied " How do we know he's not the one who made the thing?". In their time it's unknown who the creator of transparent aluminum even was. So to Scotty it doesn't matter to him. As long as they complete their mission.
I remember slightly differently. In the book I read, Scotty says quite definitively that the guy was the inventor of transparent aluminum and at that point even if they didn't go through with the deal he was going to piece together what he'd seen on that screen and invent it.
@@HariSeldon913 In the novelization Scotty already knew this was the guy “who invented the bloody thing”.
@@johnturrentine9610 I believe that is exactly what I said, just a bit more wordy.
This would be a bootstrap paradox. Where did the very concept come from to begin with?
Seeing Scotty in front of an Apple Macintosh is like seeing Wozniak in front of a sundial.
I once did an impression of Scotty talking on the mouse when he said,”Computer?”at a workshop..The presenter chuckled & others looked at me strangely..lol🖖LL & P, Scotty!
“I’ve travelled millions of miles”
“Thousands ...”
“I’ve traveled thousands of miles”
All the way from Vulcan!

Ah, yes Aberdeen, but why.
Would have been even funnier if he’d said light years instead of miles.
That bit always bothered me as Trek uses the metric system.
Don't bury yourself in the part
@@qdllc during the original series both are clearly still in common usage
Steve Jobs must have loved this scene. 😄
I remember expecting him to slip this into one of his keynotes when Apple went to aluminium and glass construction.
Daniel Kron Believe it or not, the guy who played the punk on the bus & who was associate producer, was the one who suggested to Leonard Nimoy that they use a Mac for this scene.
@@coolcat6303 Apple paid then for the advertisement... M&M turned down to be used as ET's candy
They were originally going to be using Commodore Amigas which were only used for work like that, but commodore turned Gene Roddenberry and Leonard Nimoy down, so they went to Apple instead and Apple agreed ONLY IF they could use a star trek actor to sell the macintosh computers via a commercial (which I believe was either Nimoy himself or Shatner) and the deal was done.
@@GenGamesUniverse Commodore management made a series of stupid decisions and ruined a great computing platform!
Scotty: "Computer..."
Computer : "The name's Siri, sir "
I loved how Scotty initially dealt with the computer and keep in mind this was before the internet as we know it existed.
Thr kick i get is how can scotty know how to operate the operating system of a computer from the 90's to be able to input all the commands to achieve what he did. And James Doohan was totsly improving the keyboard in that scene! Classic
As a new trekkie the first time I saw this scene I was impressed with how quick Scottie took to typing one finger taping then full on automation brilliant
He types with one finger at first to get the program he wants up and running first. Computer needs time to respond and load. Watch the screen.
He lost the middle finger on his righthand on D Day, he was Royal Canadian Artillery.
One of my favourite star trek storylines. Really enjoyed this film 😁😂🤣😋🤗🤗🤗
The scene in the movie with 'bones' and the cancer patient was awesome also.
The whole film had a brilliantly funny script.
I remember being at the flicks with my friend back in 1986.
It was very full and the whole audience was laughing during the film and having a great time.
On par with Galaxy Quest for a fun time
The hilarious thing is that there are UA-cam videos of people trying to get their old Mac Classics to run again and it takes them like a half hour to even figure out how to use the interface lol. Unless they teach Ancient Software Suites in Starfleet Academy.
Also I just noticed the guy's "I QUIT SMOKING" badge bahahahaha how absolutely random LOL.
They do - it's in the same course with Windows ME and Fortran.
some car company's like mc-larren
and company's like boeing still employ experts on these old tech.
and if you know how to operate those devices, you can earn a very hefty sum of over 2M dollar per year.
mc-larren even gives 1 million dollar for a certain old pc with a unique port. so yeah old tech is big money
Remember, Scotty has spent much of his life traveling to alien worlds and learning to use, or at least interface with strange technology.
It would be some sort or 'Archaeocomputing' for them, like dead languages or ancient music instruments research... XD
@@darknessblades that's a good point, I believe there is an entire team at NASA headed up by a few old folks who were in their prime back in the '70s, just so they can maintain a knowledge base of the software used on the Voyager probes...I think it's probably FORTRAN unless they developed their own for the mission.
I was fortunate enough to see Scotty in the flesh when I was a kid. He stopped in at a sandwich shop in a gas station to have lunch. My brother and I just stared in awe while we ate our bagels with Cream Cheese.
Do not get me started on how great this and every minute of this film is.
"Hello, Computer!" Hahaha! I wonder how many times I laughed at that part!
Hi Siri, Hi Google...
Every Star Trek script dealing with time travel after 1986: "We cannot change the timeline"
Scotty: "Hold my whisky laddie!"
Or Romulan Ale, or Saurian Brandy.
@@starguy2718 Even better if it's GREEN...
The engineer in me also just noticed that when Scotty asked about the required thickness he mentions a volume of water not a pressure or head. Lol
He gave the wall's dimensions to Dr. Nichols, who wasn't told the water tank would be aboard a spacecraft, so he's likely assumed that normal Earth gravity was in effect. He's probably also assuming 60' long and 10' TALL, and the estimated volume of water it's holding back, as the cargo compartment of the Klingon Bird-of-Prey is obviously irregular in shape. An experienced engineer wouldn't even have to run through any calculations; he knew that the six-inch-thick panels of Plexiglass his factory kept in stock (given that the panels choppered to the hidden BoP by Sulu aren't 60' long, Nichols' probably gave them three or four ten-foot high, 6" thick panels, and probably some WF aluminum channel to join them, along with a couple of 5-gallon buckets of sealant. I'll surmise that Madeline probably doctored the inventory database so that any audit wouldn't reveal the loss of several thousand dollars of inventory; she's obvious good for more than merely putting the occasional smile on Nichol's face.
I would have put a hilarious reference of some Starfleet engineer's background to include being the descendant of some child of Dr Nichols and Madeline who was known for developing further uses for transparent aluminum; but where (s)he got the information to fabricate it, no one knows...
@@selfdo lol. Nicely super geeky. Hats off.
Chekov asking for the "Nucleer Wessels" was still the Zombie Kill of the Week line from that flick!
Believe it or not, before they started shooting the scenes where Chekov would ask for "Nuclear Wessels", Nimoy would discreetly approach people like the cop that is in the scene and say just react normally as if you saw a russian in the US."
My favorite was Dr. McCoy's unmitigated irritation during the hospitals scenes:
Two upstart interns think they all that. "You have a different opinion, Doctor?" "Sounds like the damn Spanish Inquisition."
Then his out and out upset at the surgeon in the operating room with Checkhov.
They left the punch line from Scotty - "How do we know he didn't invent it?"
lol That look and smile that McCoy gives him handing Scott the mouse to talk into it.
I'm 25, but whenever I watch something from start trek I feel a little nostalgic... I feel like home. Star trek has a deep meaning for me, especially the laws that regulate United Federation on the original series. It's like humanity had become something more than just evil and vain like we are today.
I’m glad you feel this way 😊 I started watching Star Trek when I was 9. I’m 62 now. And I would be lying if I said I wasn’t influenced by it in a positive way. The thought of humans evolving past the greed and violence of today still gives me hope.
I’m a vegan. I have banned abuse, torture, and death from my plate. Maybe I as a single person don’t make a difference. But I’m not alone. Every day more people decide to make the change for a more peaceful world 🥰
I loved it when Scotty talks into the mouse LOL
“Hello computer “ gets me every time
"Would that be worth something to ya?"
I tried that joke on a lot of people.. computer, computer,. Almost like a barometer of their sense of humor
Great idea! I will try with my colleagues!
James Doohan i.e. Scotty was an inspiring and fun actor to behold, thanks to the miraculous nature of the Universe no one truly perishes.
Chakotay: "I see you never learned to type."
Janeway: "Turn of the millennium technology wasn't a required course at the academy. It's like stone knives and bear skins."
Surprised Chakotay didn't take that as an anti Indian insult
Spock, in "The City On The Edge Of Forever"
I'm almost surprised that the Federation hasn't developed a direct neural interface. Of course, why would DATA need to type or keystroke ANYTHING? Why not just Bluetooth that magical positronic matrix brain of his directly into the Enterprise-D's LCARS?
Never mind the SEVERAL times Data hijacks the Enterprise-D. If Picard's anything resembling the O-6's I've known, that android is being shut down and disabled, IMMEDIATELY, after the first time, and sent back to the Cybernetics Research Department, in secure transport, with a platoon of Starfleet Marines guarding him, to figure out what the hell happened!
Very much miss these guys. This was when sci fi was fun!
Everything today is cr@p!!
And, in this case, well written (unlike the absolute, insufferable garbage that tries to pass for Stark Trek since Kurtzman took over).
Yeah, later on there are the bad Borg, bad Romulans, bad Klingons, more bad Borg... But this light funny is not there anymore in the Star Trek movies. Of course they make jokes, but there is no more THAT fun in it.
Kudos to the writers of Star Trek, and the Scientists that followed their lead.
Because of this scene, we now have transparent aluminum!
I'm pretty sure transparent aluminum was made before the movie. The first patent was in 1980. We didn't have internet so no one knew. It was a simpler time.
Fun fact: If you notice when James Doohan picks up the mouse you’ll notice his middle finger is missing. That’s the finger he had shot of in the invasion of Normandy when he was on Juno Beach. He shot two snipers and led his men to higher ground and a nervous Canadian sentry accidentally hit him with 6 rounds from a Bren Gun. One shot that hit his chest was blocked by a silver cigarette case he had on him.
Good to know
They covered it a long time in TOS and the movies.
The mouse scene has always been my absolute favourite scene of ALL of the ST films 🥰 “how quaint“ 🤣🤣🤣
1:24-1:31
I LOVE Doohan's acting here. The look he gives Kelly is priceless.
Kelly?
Oh, DeForest Kelley.
Everyone laughed at this scene when the movie came out now AI is on every computer.
AI has nothing to do with this scene.
@ Except for Mr. Scott being familiar with the Enterprise computer AI interface. So actually this scene does have something to do with that!
Every time I turn on a computer, I think of Scotty and this clip. Gosh, I loved those guys ❤
I was about 15 when I saw this at the movies. Of course, when you are 15, you don't really know what you want to study in college or even if you will go.
But all along, this scene was in the back of my mind as I switched majors and schools. Scotty along with Geordi La Forge and Data made an impression that engineers (and maybe scientists, as Data seemed to be) were cool.
It was one thing to see fighter pilots or soldiers in a space ship, but to see engineers, doing engineering and how important they were for the whole crew/ship was an eye opener.
One was used to the idea of seeing engineers fix the ship or jury rig a weapon to save the day. But to see an engineer time travel to the past to talk to another engineer (who had a PhD and was working as an engineer, not as an executive) and see them both click and share knowledge was something totally inspiring, for me.
The Scotty character was somewhat an influence in my decision to major in Mechanical Engineering.
Keep your eyes on Bones when Scotty mentions about the 1 inch thick material. Like McCoy's reluctant to go this route cause he's worried about maybe changing the future, but he knows they need to barter for the materials. It's so damn subtle, I love it.
And it's like Scotty says "How do we know he invented the bloody thing!" afterwards, because he knew that guy actually did create it.
That must be space-typing too. Very impressive, indeed.

Everyone in the 23rd century will be taught how to operate 20th century computer systems... just like everyone now knowing how to operate command line and punch cards. It's basic curriculum xD

Actually hilariously enough, thats exactly what Computer Science class forces you to learn. Old school first, then finally hopefully and with out begging a teacher here or there will instruct on newer technology. Its not until your first job in the industry where you are thrown face first into bleeding edge technology. Even though you at your home can access bleeding edge consumer electronics, business's seem to operate an order of magnitude in either direction. The future AND the past.
Another commentator remarked that one of Starfleet's objectives is to seek out new civilizations. Not all civilizations would be at the same tech level, so presumably, engineers on starships would have to be familiar with varying levels of technology in order to help understand & socialize with those new civilizations.
Scotty just messed up the space-time continuum - creating a paradox. Nice going, Scotty.
Just to nitpick. Even if they revealed the secret of its composure what makes them certain there's the technology available in 1986 to manufacture it? If you showed a 2015 microprocessor to computer scientists in 1955 they'd understand how it works and how it's designed. But manufacturing one in 1955?
Unless of course transparent aluminum was merely 5-10 years away from being discovered in the Star Trek timeline and the crew of the Enterprise just gave them a little help discovering it sooner. In this scenario it would have been well within their capability to manufacture the material.
Your comment is too smart for UA-cam. Remember, Brawndo has what plants crave...it has electrolytes..
ajeoae But what are electrolytes anyway? The stuff they use to make Brawndo with? I'm pretty sure you put water on plants to make them grow.
Wez Marauder multiverse, you lose
Wez Marauder While it is true what you said about manufacturing process, the issue isn't manufacturing means but the process in which to achieve it. For example, staying within the realm of Big Screen movie, Terminator. Although SkyNet of the past did not have a mean to manufacture a T-101 or its computer component, it made them realize what was possible and what wasn't. The existence of such tech allow them steer their development in another direction.For example, I wonder what kind of processor would Intel have develop if someone was to give them a 5th Gen Core i7 chip back when the 8086 was top of the line? They might not have been able to manufacture it but I am willing to bet that we would be seeing processor of the likes only seen in Science Fictions shows today.Remember, in tech, its not the manufacturing process that is important. Its the idea behind them. Ideas and design comes first. Then you develop the means to manufacture it.
Don't ever use Terminator-logic to explain Star Trek. Nobody even invented the advanced chip if you look at it chronologically. I also recall it took over a decade of relentless research and study before they could manufacture something similar. Bad example using a fantasy movie which takes serious liberties and in which it's merely a plot element one shouldn't try to look at as plausible.
"Remember, in tech, its not the manufacturing process that is important. Its the idea behind them. "
Wrong. The mere notion that the manufacturing process doesn't matter or can just be leapfrogged in an instant is false. Fact is the problem of how to manufacture something is probably the biggest obstacle when building something revolutionary. That *needs* to be solved before you have anything. You may have a thousand ideas but without the technology, tools and material with which to manufacture this you're stuck with a theoretical idea. Therefore the invention of new manufacturing technology has always gone hand in hand - and often even made the later inventions possible at all - with the development of new inventions.
Rather than using Terminator I'll use examples from *real* history. The first railways were made from wrought iron. That iron rusted, was fairly brittle and had to be constantly replaced all over the lines. The locomotives couldn't be too heavy or carry too heavy loads. Steel *did* exist at this time but it was a difficult and expensive process only suited for swordmaking or tools. Then suddenly the Bessemer process was invented in the 1850's and suddenly they could manufacture lots of good steel for an affordable price. This made all the steel magnates rich because not only did the railroads switch to steel rails (which last ten times longer than iron rails and can safely carry much heavier trains) but long bridges, buildings, ships and eventually skyscrapers (the first steel skeleton building in 1885). Without the Bessemere process of how to *manufacture* large quantities of pure steel all those ideas would have been impossible. You can forget all about skyscrapers appearing in the late 1800's if the Bessemere process wouldn't have made that possible in the first place.
The invention of transistors suddenly made more compact computers possible. So you can't manufacture compact computers 20 years in advance if you can't manufacture transistors.
Take the space program of the 1960's for instance. When Kennedy started to race for the moon the reality was that they neither had most of the material they needed to build a viable space craft nor any idea how to manufacture it. All this had to be *learned* at great cost while they were trying to build it.
As for you example with microprocessors. The newer generation ones have indeed appeared because new manufacturing processes have been developed which makes it possible to make them so small. Showing the latest generation to technicians from 20 years ago still can't make them leapfrog 20 years of development in manufacturing. Unless they can learn that too they simply can't manufacture a present day microprocessor. So to hell with the Terminator example. That's a movie, I'm talking about reality. Star Trek does pride itself in trying to stay close to real science as much as it can.
The idea is a small problem compared to serious challenge to manufacture something you haven't before and don't know if you actually will be able to with the current technology.
" Ideas and design comes first. Then you develop the means to manufacture it." Exactly. Small problem though. *Therein* lies the *real* challenge. Especially for revolutionary new technology nobody has built before.
So with that in mind I can say with a reasonable level of certainty that advanced 21st century (?) transparent aluminum is impossible to manufacture in 1986 unless they were given the revolutionary manufacturing tools, material and processes with which this would be possible. Again, not something people in 1986 can just adapt over a day or two.
Like I said, the only way this works is if the invention is merely a few more years into the future of 1986 and the crew of the Enterprise just gave them the idea a little sooner.
We can't manufacture transparent aluminum in 2015 can we?
11 dislikes....how quaint.
I watched this in my late teens. When it was over I didn't really like it that much. Now that I'm older I appreciated this movie more. This was the best scene for me. I remember the whole movie theatre erupted in laughter.
I also thought Sulu discussing his flying experience with the helicopter pilot was kind of funny.
Movies you appreciate more when your older are Hooper Last Action Hero, and Robocop!!!!
One of the best if not the best of the Star Trek movies.....with a message to boot!!!!
Saw this in the theater and everyone loved this Star Trek movie and thought it was a light hearted breath of fresh air in the Star Trek series from the earlier movies.
Stood in line for 3 hours to see it on opening day. Did the same for "Wrath Of Kahn". The audience response makes it worth the wait.
Hello, computer!
+Gabriele Riva "Hello, your search for PLANS PARENTAL ROOMS returned 0 results." - The Voyage Home in 2016
Yes, well, thank God they didn't have autocorrect back in 1986. That engineer could have ended up with the formula for a three-legged mule.
RPG Moods, that is one underappreciated comment.
Brian Bowers we dont have that already? damn it, its 2017
Reminds me of Ed Norton, "Hello, ball!". Cracks his knuckles like Norton before playing the piano, too...
Talk about altering the timeline, Kirk and his buddies did it left and right lol.
Well.... How do we know he didn't invent the stuff?
well the time travel investigators on DS9 says Kirk is notorious for that

Actually in the novel, it's actually confirmed that Scotty knew who he was giving the formula away to - the guy who actually did make the transparent aluminum. Bones just says "How do we know we're altering the future if we give him this formula?" and Scotty replies with "How do we know he made the bloody thing?!"
@@GenGamesUniverse but it's some kind of bootstrap paradox-transparent aluminum was discovered because Scotty came back and gave it to them. Yeah they know he discovered it, but he didnt really discover it he just used what scotty gave him and called it his own.
This is one of my favorite Star Trek movies..
My Father when he was alive, worked at Hughes Aircraft at the time as a source inspector and said he had visited this very facility, kind of brought it close to home for me.
It always bugged me that it was necessary the tank be transparent. They were hauling whales, not building an aquarium. Steel plate would have been fine.
@GoodSeens GS Stainless?
if it was steel they would not have anything in 1984 to barter for it as they had no money. They had to give away a billion-dollar concept for something in return.
Bones is the only one who really tried to blend in.
Gen Beta: "A touchscreen? How quaint."
I just LOVE this scene. In fact, I just came back, ugh, just came to this site to view it again.
" How do we know he didn't invent the thing ? ", as Scotty said. The novelization said that this Nichols guy was credited with inventing transparent aluminum.
Scotty’s middle finger is missing on his right hand. Doohan lost it in D-Day.
Right before getting friendly fired by a Canadian.
Oh wow. I never noticed that.
I thought it was his left hand that Doohan was missing a finger
@@karlsmith2570 Nope. “Your other left.” 😂👏
Gotta love this scene. I how he is just pushing buttons on the keyboard randomly. Back when mac plus was the computer in 1980's computers were that much of a mystery that no one would of caught it, just a oh thats how computers work when you know what you're doing haha.
this is one of my favorite star trek film, just love their team work and the adventures
Probably the closest Star Trek gets to each actor having an important role in the story. Most of the other films are mostly about Kirk/Spock/McCoy, with the others really just along for the ride.
As usual, Movieclips cuts out the best parts in their clips. The next 10 seconds were quite amusing.
It may surprise you to learn that movie clips exists to entice you to pay to watch the movie. They don't exist to provide you with free complete clips for your enjoyment.
Scotty in the canon has always had an interest in old Earth technology. While on board the 1990s-era Botany Bay to revive Khan (TOS episode "Space Seed"), he looks at the 20th century computer console and remarks "I'd love to tear this baby apart."
"..., solid stat bulky components, I think they were called transistor..."
I've worked in IT for 25+ yrs and even to this day in 2023 I still say "Hello computer" in the same manner. Love it :)
The part that got clipped off, but was the clincher, was: "Is it worth something to you, Laddie? Or should i just punch up 'clear'"?
IIRC. Dr. McCoy. "Are you sure this is a good idea" giving him the formula for transparent aluminum.
Scotty. "Who's to say he didn't invent it?"
I love that see through aluminum is now an actual thing.
There is a see-through aluminum-based CERAMIC, which was already in the works in 1986-the year this movie was made.
But alas, Paramount misplaced the Mac computer Scotty typed in the formula, so we do not yet have transparent aluminum metal.
+Bobbydog66 ...and even closer to being true clear aluminum...

Ain't science neat?
It was an actual thing 41 years ago. 6 years before the movie was made.
That was a real company making the largest acrylic castings in the world.
Love the fact that McCoy has it all figured out when he hands him the mouse to speak into.
Bottle of Michelob in the mini-fridge. Product placement by Shatner no doubt seeing as he was doing commercials for them at the time.
They did a pretty great job of hiding James Doohan's missing finger during the typing scenes!
Me with hand tools. "Hammer. Hello Hammer. Oh shit, where's CTRL-Z?"
I laugh at my wife when she tries to talk to everything electronic…. I think of this clip every time.
Scotty may have remembered, off the top of his head, the chemical and molecular formula for transparent aluminum, but Dr. Mills and his team at Plexicorp were actually able to MAKE the stuff.
"It'll take years to figure out the dynamics of this matrix"
"Yes, but you'll be rich beyond the dreams of avarice"
so apparently we have transparent aluminium now?
+Jason schmidt Actually yes. If you google for "transparent aluminum" you will find that scientists have already managed to create it. It's called *Aluminium oxynitride* and used as bulletproof glass in military hardware.
+ReptorULTRA7 but aluminum isn't bulletproof. That's why STEEL was used for armored belts at the waterlines of battleships.
+teenagerinsac It isn't aluminum, it's TRANSPARENT aluminum. Like a ghost. And as we all know, ghosts are bullet proof. #science
Don't be absurd, OK? Transparent Aluminum.
+Jason schmidt
Yes and here it is
makezine.com/2012/01/17/transparent-aluminum/
A classic movie . I think I will watch this tonight .
He does all that with a few taps of the keys, that’s the magic of cinema
Awww this cuts off before the best part when McCoy takes Scotty aside and warns him about giving away future technologies. Scotty says “How do you know he didn’t think of it himself?” McCoy just gives a little smile and just says “Oh, yeahhh...” Probably the funniest part of the whole film
Who knows? Scotty, in reviewing his beloved technical journals, might have already KNOWN that a "Dr Nichols" was involved in the "invention" of transparent aluminum. However, given the complexities involved in development of a remarkable new material, I'd say the "Dr Nichols" that Scotty had in mind was the CHILD of Dr. Nichols, probably with Madeline!
