Bill Murray in some of the memorable moments from The Life Aquatic. >>>>>

"But are we not men?"

You realize that Bill Murray is quoting H.G. Wells, don't you?

Also:

"Are We Not Men? We Are DEVO!"

DEVO is also quoting Wells.

No sh*t, Sherlock.

Since you offered this in response to my question ("You realize that Bill Murray is quoting H.G. Wells, don't you?"), it's contextual placement means that you are claiming that Bill Murray was quoting DEVO.

I have recently watched "The Life Aquatic," and can assure you that he was quoting Wells.

Mark Mothersbough of DEVO created the soundtrack for "A Life Aquatic," here's one of the better scenes using his music, "Escape From Ping Island";

Ping: Harry Lime, the reference becomes clear when you know that Mark Mothersbough of DEVO created the soundtrack for the film:

Ok. A self-referential/meta nod would be in keeping with the style of the film.

Yes, it's a bit of a Wes Anderson trademark.
