How \"Quaint\"

I have a friend thats arguing w/ me... I've told him that Scotty used the line in Star Trek IV...... Now I know that Q says the same thing to Picard *Patrick Stewart* in a Star Trek the next generation episode. Does anyone know what episode he states this? or have the actuall script?

Thanks
Mark

In Star Trek IV (yes, the one with the whales)
In the scene where Scotty and McCoy visit the plexiglass manufacturing in the 20th centrury, and Scotty is about to input the chemical structure for transparent aluminium. He begins by talking to the computer (which is a Mac Classic, Fat Mac, or Slim Mac, one of those), then McCoy hands him the mouse. Scotty attempts to talk into that. The manager, being flustered, says "Just use the keyboard". Scotty replies "Keyboard, how quaint..."

That was just on a couple of days ago. "Hello computer" was one thing Scotty spoke into the mouse as he held it like a microphone.

Scotty: "Hello Computer"
Company Man: "Just use the keyboard."
Scotty: "Oh, We'll have to do it the old fashioned way"
then proceedes to just about melt down the keyboard as he generates the molecular matrix for transparent alluminum.

Neat movie.

And Checkoff: Asking around to find the "Nuclear Wessels"

And Kirk: "OK, everone remember where we parked."

Sorry, I know every word of the 79 episodes of the original series. TNG, I'm not as strong on.

The Star Trek TNG episode where Q says the phrase "How quaint" is called "True Q".

6th season, episode #132.

Q does say that in that episode, but I thought it was to the adolescent Q girl and not to Picard.......
