Billy: Jules, y’know, honey… this isn’t real. You know what it is? It’s St. Elmo’s Fire. Electric flashes of light that appear in dark skies out of nowhere. Sailors would guide entire journeys by it, but the joke was on them… there was no fire. There wasn’t even a St. Elmo. They made it up. They made it up because they thought they needed it to keep them going when times got tough, just like you’re making up all of this. We’re all going through this. It’s our time at the edge.

Dale: I don’t really know you that well, but you seem like a fine person. And I want you to know that I’m all flattered by this.

Dale: And deep down, I’m sure for a long time I’ll wonder if maybe somehow this isn’t my loss.

Question: What show featured a courtroom bailiff named Rusty and a court reporter named Doug Llewelyn?

 

Last Question: In St. Elmo’s Fire, what university were the main characters alumni of?
 

Answer: Georgetown

I loved this movie about a group of friends that have just graduated from Georgetown University, and their adjustment to real life. But, I could really do without the “Boogada-Boogada-Boogada, Ah-Oh-Oh”. It makes me want to put an ice pick through my ears, rip out my hear, and poke out my newly repaired eyes!

Here is the trailer for the movie:
