Flood: Of course, you're not actually listening to any of this; you're simply heading at full speed toward the bright green dot on your display.

Classic.

Also, there was point where Flood said, "I could care less about those cheap booze-ups you underlings are always wasting your time on."  I believe he meant to say, "couldn't care less."

That's one of those phrases that means the same no matter how you write it. Writing it "I could care less" is usually more negative or insulting.

Mmmm... and if there's one thing that Flood is, it's negative and insulting...

EDIT TO ADD: Make that "two things".

Could care less is often used in a sarcastic tone, meaning also that he doesn't care anyway. Since the tone is more negative than simply implying the negative comment, it adds to the level of scorn.

But boy is this phrase gettin' controversial.

"No. If one wants to be sarcastic, they would say "That's the most interesting thing ever!" or something else that would put their caring near the top of the continuum. Merely pulling their "level of caring" off of the absolute bottom doesn't give a sarcastic effect."
