Annotated 5-11
“Changed the locale for this scene to the marketplace. Erica and I decided we need to establish that their gear is getting repaired at SOME point. -Phil Kahn 4/13/10 12:43 PM”
Script had Syr’Nj getting more frustrated with Frigg, which would have better set up later scenes in this chapter but perhaps been unrealistic, given how good she was feeling after getting Peacemaker status.
If you’re going to be strict about this sort of thing, the lyrics of “Colors of the Wind” must be coming from the same sort of pop-cultural unconscious that informs some of Frigg’s more anachronistic insults, which only the tube-linked characters can access.
I had “beer just tastes like char,” because that’s pretty much been my beer experience. It’s an acquired taste, I know, but not one I really care to acquire after trying the stuff in my parents’ fridge.
In my experience, most beer makes me gag.
But does it taste like mud or like char?
Martin: Here you go, little man.
Percy: Are you sure? Is this beer?
Martin: No, of course not, I would never hand you beer. That’s *cerveza*.
Percy: I’m 10, I can’t have beer.
Martin: You’re not 10! You’re kitchen staff, kitchen staff doesn’t have an age.
Percy: Dad?
Carl: You can have a sip.
[Percy takes a sip from the bottle and makes a disgusted face]
Carl: Huh? Like piss, right?
Percy: Worse!
Carl: You remember that when your friends offer you a beer.
– quoted from Chef
“It’s made from honey!”
“I can taste neither the fermentation of wheat, nor of grape”
*hands over drinking horn*
“Honey!”
Vastly underrated movie.

Frigg definitely likes where this is going.
Beer is a taste I’ve tried to acquire many times. While some beers had flavors I liked, they also always had a flavor that seemed to be telling me: “Hey, don’t you think that now would be a pretty good time to vomit?”
Eventually, I realized that the offending flavor was hops, and since all beer by definition must contain hops, I gave up on ever finding a beer that I can enjoy.
The hops is a preservative. Without it the beer does not keep very long at all. You can get beer-like beverages with little to no hops, but they’re somewhat difficult to find due to the spoilage issues.
I’ve had a few that I manage to drink down without making too many faces, but all beers still taste to me the way a bottle-return room stinks.
I like beer, and I worked to really enjoy beer on a snobby level, and I never understood the reasoning of “but I just don’t care to acquire that taste.”
Until I tried wine.
Wine is *also* an acquired taste.
Yeah, I haven’t tried many beers but didn’t like the few I swilled. Not into wine or distilled spirits either. I will quaff a good hard cider.
Yes, we drank beer. My friends and I, the boys and girls. Yes, we drank beer. I liked beer. Still like beer. We drank beer.
Probably the only supreme court justice hearing that ever referenced “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”
I couldn’t resist…
