I simply adore Newt's mostly. My niece uses the same phrase frequently, even before she watched Aliens. We all watched it together (my sister, niece and I) and when Newt came on the scene sis and I simultaneously turned to my niece and said "she sounds just like you) which of course prompted a "does not" "does too" exchange wherein I ended with a "does too, mostly."

Even my niece had to laugh.

It irks my sister because my niece has always used her mostly as a loophole of sorts.

Sis, "have you cleaned out that junk?"
Niece, "mostly."
Sis "what is mostly, did you or didn't you?"
Niece "I mostly did mom."

Funny those two.

Thanks for these funny one-liners. Perfect before work today. Have to go in for a few hours. Important, and very heavy, piece of lab equipment arriving. Another week or so and lab complete!

Interesting bit of unknown background about Newt...

At the time the movie was being made, I was in the USAF stationed at RAF Lakenheath in England. The movie casting folks were searching the various Department of Defense schools around the country for american students to play Newt.

Turns out, they asked my crew chief's daughter if she wanted to do it. Apparently, she did a short audition at the school, and from what I was told, she ended up being the one they wanted. In the end, she decided she didn't want to do it, and so they went with the girl (and her brother) they ended up with.

Bond. James Bond.

Did you meet your crew chief's daughter?
If so do you think she could have been a better Newt?

Yeah, my then-wife and I were pretty good friends with him and his wife. His three kids were a few years older than my daughter (who was not quite 1 year old yet).

As for being a better Newt..? I can't really say. She was always a bit shy, so she might not have been up for it. But, after the audition, which she volunteered to do, despite her shyness, she was the one they originally wanted, so there must have been something there that they liked.

Anyone who has encountered it before knows that whatever situation they are in, it's gonna get worse.
It also has a short film based on it.
