Gregory got me thinking this morning about how many lines from the movie 'Airplane' have made it into everyday speech. (At least my everyday speech!)
What are your favorite lines?
Answers to this question:Bruce, can you give us come examples to get us started? Actually, and I'm sorry, I didn't like "Airplane." I've never seen the whole thing. Just snippets here and there on TV before I can get Bernd to change the channel. :) But I'd love to know what sort of lines have made it into mainstream conversation.
Well, my favorites are:
"We need to get these people to a hospital."
"What is it, Doctor?"
"It's a large building with lots of sick people, but that's unimportant right now."
---
"Surely you can't be serious."
"I am serious, and don't call me Shirley."
---
"There is no parking in the red zone." (Starting an argument with other announcer.)
---
"... and that's when my drinking problem began." (Pours cup of water into eye.)
Okay! I HAVE heard some of those. They're pretty funny.
Ted Striker: My orders came through. My squadron ships out tomorrow. We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours. We're coming in from the north, below their radar.
Elaine Dickinson: When will you be back?
Ted Striker: I can't tell you that. It's classified.
Reporter: What kind of plane is it?
Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.
Rex Kramer: Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Elaine Dickinson: There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
Elaine Dickinson: Would you like something to read?
Hanging Lady: Do you have anything light?
Elaine Dickinson: How about this leaflet, "Famous Jewish Sports Legends?"
Johnny: The tower, the tower! Rapunzel, Rapunzel!
I am enjoying this airport's security checkpoint;mmmmmm, can't you please pat me down just one more time?
