Minority Report

Ok, thanks. the next portion:

1. “- He came to see you the other day right before he was tagged. What did you talk about?

– The Mets. John doesn’t think they have a deep enough pitching roster this year, and I’m inclined to.”

I understand he meant baseball team “New York Mets”, right?
But does “they have a deep enough pitching roster this year” means “they lack of pitching players” or “this pitching players aren’t good enough”?

2. “federal housing” – what’s this? Real estate in possession of government? or some kind of houses for “poor people”? Are there any other kind of housing like municipal?

in gay slang a ‘twink’ would be the equivalent of a dumb blonde. Derives from twinkie bar, some sort of cake with a cream filling. i.e. it looks good, tastes good, but don’t expect to have a meaningful conversation.

And could be that “Trauma Response Unit” provide psychological help?

If you like the movie, I’d recommend reading the original story by Philip K. D i c k. The man has written some good stuff, stuff which the movies Minority Report, Totall Recall, and Screamers were based on. And, of course, Blade Runner 😀

Re: SOC

Yes, good writer indeed, I like his dark vision of science and future, and the point actually he had some ethical problems in the plot, not that senseless fiction.

Now, gents, does anybody tell me what the hell means:

“It seems you’ve been left out of the loop, John.”

Seems that John has no way out?

‘Open house’ – means the door is open to any visitors.

Twink, I would guess, means ‘some guy’ or someone, from the Fed (presumably FBI).

Next portion:

1. Sarah: “I have an open house at the Ressler place.”.

Is she some kind of real estate dealer that have a vacant house at some “Ressler place “?

2. Anderton: “I don’t need some twink from the Fed poking around right now.”

What the hell is “twink”?
As far as I can see it’s some kind of slang:

/twink/ [UCSC] Equivalent to read-only user. Also reported
on the Usenet group soc.motss; may derive from gay slang for
a cute young thing with nothing upstairs (compare mainstream
“chick”).

Is that some kind of equivalent for “young person” or “unexperienced” or “eavesdropper, peeper”?

The Gettysburg address is the greatest ever made by an American political leader although at the time Lincoln believed it to be a failure.

I reckon it’s ‘ check their driving licence and vehicle registration’ in the way that the Police would do. Does this fit the context?

Absolutely.

The passage is from the Gettysburg Address. [/B]

Right you are – many thanks. I’ve got on the trail of the passage, but was doubtful.
