Hummm. One too many Tank Girl comics and one too few Star Wars novelizations I guess. :)

A fellow Real Genius fan and you think I'd have a problem with a good 'gettin' it together' montage? :) And that's why I quoted the one chorus, because it was the one that really struck home with the moment. A clip to fit the space.

Upon first listening it struck me as the perfect end credit music to a good 80's teen buddy movie. I'm interested to see where it works in.

It's not Duel music, no. :)

Well, I'm assuming that that's going to take care of itself in one way or another. And the answer in another post about Dorothy's non-violence pretty much answers the rest of my question. At some point or another there's going to be an instance of Dorothy not having a proper authority at hand to deal with something. The mechanics of what it takes a person like that to cross that line is always an emotion packed moment of revelation, and it's one of the things I enjoy seeing build up, as stressful as it might be for the character. That she's now defined enough where I can maybe see a glimmer of that moment forming on the horizon is a very cool thing, I think.
