Galaxy Quest

Aging, out of work actors from the cult TV show "Galaxy Quest" now are reduced to attending conventions and opening supermarkets for a living. However, aliens have seen the transmissions and mistake them for historical documents. They create a ship identical to the tv show version, and get the actors to command it. They run afoul of evil aliens, but defeat them. The actors revive their roles in a new TV series.

Trivia: In interesting contrast to Guy's frequent ranting about how he, as the only unnamed character, will be the first to die, in the sequence where Sarris enters the command deck and shoots everyone, Guy is the only crewmember who is NOT shown getting shot.

Question: In the beginning of the movie, Dane attempts to flee from the convention but is stopped by Nesmith, who says "the show must go on". Dane looks furiously at Nesmith for a second and then makes his appearance on stage after all. Can anybody explain to me why Nesmith's line makes Dane change his mind?

Answer: Dane is a classically trained stage actor from England. On the stage they have the saying "The show must go on". i.e. hundreds of people have payed for tickets to see the play, so the thespians go on stage to do the best job they can. Nesmith is reminding Dane of this as Dane considers it a stage tradition that he doesn't want to break.
