Louis Gossett Jr.: Walt Shepherd

Quotes 

• Pam Elliott : They sure leave fast, don't they?

  Walt Shepherd : [chuckles]  No creature on earth moves faster than an exiting high school student.

• Matthew Star : What's up?

  Walt Shepherd : What's up is that ring I saw around Pam's neck. She told me a... carnival fortune teller gave it to her.

  Matthew Star : Yeah, it was just a piece of junk jewelry.

  Walt Shepherd : What did she look like?

  Matthew Star : Eh... an old gypsy lady around 65 or so.

  Walt Shepherd : Did she have brown hair?

  Matthew Star : No, grey. Shep, why all the questions?

  Walt Shepherd : Because, Matthew... that ring that she gave you, belonged to your mother.

• Matthew Star : They may be holograms, but they sure look a lot like Pam's home movies.

  Walt Shepherd : [small chuckle]  Well, I have a feeling that home movies look pretty much the same on every planet.
