Beam me up, Scotty

Get me out of here! Take me away! This phrase comes from the TV show Star Trek, in which it was used (with slightly different wording) as a command to be brought back onto the starship Enterprise via a form of teleportation, often when faced with a dangerous situation. As screaming preschoolers ran all around me, all I could think was, "Beam me up, Scotty!" If the deadline for this project gets moved up to tomorrow, then beam me up, Scotty, because we have no hope of finishing in time. A: "Did you hear about the blizzard that's forecast for the weekend?" B: "Ugh, beam me up, Scotty!"
