Emile Charles: Young Lister
Quotes
-
Dave Lister : I've come to try and change your future.
Young Lister : Change it? Aren't you happy being a rock star? Is the constant demand of them groupies getting you down?
Dave Lister : You don't make it as a rock star.
Young Lister : That's impossible! It cannot be.
Dave Lister : How can I say this without giving offence? You don't make it 'cos... you're crap.
-
Young Lister : [singing tunelessly] Ommm... Ommm... Ommm... Ommm... Ommm...
Dave Lister : This is one of the first songs I ever wrote. It was called "Om".
Rimmer : Nothing like a good old-fashioned love song, eh?
-
Dave Lister : Guys, guys. I'd like you to meet me, aged 17.
Young Lister : Shay-dee! This is totally shady! It's beyond shady, it's surreal! These your mates, then?
Dave Lister : Yeah. That's Cat, Kryten, and... Rimmer.
Young Lister : [pointing at the H on Rimmer's forehead] Brilliant tattoo, man! What's it stand for, "Heavy metal"?
Rimmer : Yes, indeed.
Young Lister : [pointing at Kryten] And him? What's happened to him? His face, it's grotesque, isn't it? Has he had an accident? He looks like he spent three weeks with his head jammed in a lift! It's totally shady!

Rimmer : [after Lister tries to persuade his younger self to give up trying to become a rock star and invent the successful tension sheet instead] You haven't got a copy of the Om Song I could take back with me, have you?
Young Lister : They're all in the car.
Rimmer : Oh, what a pity. I just can't get it out of my head, it's so catchy! "Om!" Keep writing those hits, kid.
[Rimmer gets up and leaves, saying "Om!" to himself]
Young Lister : What a nice guy.
