Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery
He grew up in one of Dr. Evil's lairs while Dr. Evil was still frozen. Once Dr. Evil returned and learned that he had a son, he tried to bond with Scott, but Scott was resentful that his father was absent for so long. While Dr. Evil is an over-the-top villain with gratuitously elaborate schemes for world domination, Scott is a reasonably intelligent young man with common sense. Scott is shown as a Nirvana fan, and he wears a Kurt Cobain T-Shirt. When learning of his father's evil schemes, Scott suggests ideas that are more straightforward and that would guarantee success (e.g. rather than slowly lowering Austin Powers into a pool filled with ill-tempered, mutated sea bass while behind a closed door, Scott pleads with his father to just shoot him immediately with a gun). Dr. Evil then dismisses Scott's ideas because, in his mind, Scott isn't evil enough to be taken seriously; in Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, Dr. Evil calls Scott "the Diet Coke of evil. Just one calorie, not evil enough." In one scene from The Spy Who Shagged Me, Scotty is clearly perturbed and frustrated with Doctor Evil, exclaiming "God! You do this every time!" At one point in the movie, Dr. Evil attempted to kill Scott by the same means that he killed Mustafa, one of his henchmen who screwed up the freezing process, before he was able to send him to his doom, Frau is able to stop him.

Famous quotes containing the word man:
“No man ever stood lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes; yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
