I just heard on NPR that its the 25th anniversary of Airplane! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4735876 They should have the interview with the Zucker Brothers and Abrams the writers, producers and directors of Airplane!, Top Secret and the Naked Gun movies.
Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land? Captain Oveur: I can't tell. Rumack: You can tell me. I'm a doctor. Captain Oveur: No. I mean I'm just not sure. Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess? Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours. Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours? Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before? Joey: No sir, I've never been up in a plane before. Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?
Joey: Wait a minute. I know you. You're Kareem Abdul-Jabar. You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers. Roger Murdock: I'm sorry son, but you must have me confused with someone else. My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co-pilot. Joey: You are Kareem. I've seen you play. My dad's got season tickets. Roger Murdock: I think you should go back to your seat now Joey. Right Clarence? Captain Oveur: Nahhhhhh, he's not bothering anyone, let him stay here. Roger Murdock: But just remember, my name is ROGER MURDOCK. I'm an airline pilot. Joey: I think you're the greatest, but my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense. And he says that lots of times, you don't even run down court. And that you don't really try... except during the playoffs. Roger Murdock: The hell I don't. LISTEN KID. I've been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I'm out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes
Joey..... do you like movies about gladiators? Joey.....have you ever been inside a gymnasium? Joey .....do you like it when scraps rubs up and down on your leg?
Cold got to be! You know? Sh*********t. And could someone please get the quote right? "I am serious. And don't call me Shirley."
Dr. Rumack: We've got to get this man to a hospital. Striker: A hospital? What is it? Dr. Rumack: It's a big building with patients. Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence. Captain Over: Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor? Barbara Billingsly: Just hang loose, blood. She gonna come up on the rebound on the medicide. Black Man: What it is, big momma! My momma done laid no dummy! I dug her rap! Barbara Billingsly: Cut me some slack, jack! Chump want help, chump get de help. You ain't got no brains anyhow!
Followed up later by.. Striker: Surely, there must be SOMETHING you can do!?! Rumack: I'm doing everything I can. And stop calling me Shirley.
Striker: I'd like one one-way ticket to Chicago. No baggage. Counter lady: Smoking or non-smoking? Striker: Smoking, please Counter lade: Have a nice flight.
why pretend, we both know perfectly well what it is you're talking about. You want me to have an abortion.
It's really the only sensible thing to do, if done safely. I think that's my favorite scene. Something about arguing voice announcements gets me everytime. And also - "We had a choice between steak and fish." "Yes, I remember. I had the lasagna."
and Beaver's Mom said "Jive ass dude don got no brains anyhow!" I could quote Airplane for hours....for evidence, see the last two threads we have had about movie quotes. I love this part. Elaine : Ladies and gentleman, this is your stewardess speaking We regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused this is due to periodic airpockets we encountered. There's no reason to be alarmed and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane? PEOPLE GO NUTS!
my favorite: Rumack : Randy, are you alright? Randy : Oh, Dr. Rumack, I'm scared. I've never been so scared. And besides, I'm 26 and I'm not married. Rumack : We're going to make it, you've got to believe that. Woman3 : Dr. Rumack, do you have any idea when we'll be landing? Rumack : Pretty soon, how are you bearing up? Woman3 : Well, to be honest, I've never been so scared. But, at least I have a husband. ( Randy sobs harder )
