Don’t call him Surely…

Hey, that medication really does some strange things to you.

Don ’t call him Shirley! (Those were great lines)

Sounds like the sort of thing I’d tell my husband, actually.

Oh brother! They should’ve called the family while taking Adam to the hospital!

…or, “Have you ever seen a grown man naked?”

It’s worse than you think Laura. He’s stoned. Sorta.

“We had the choice of chicken or fish. I had lasagna”.

Actually those lines were not the best lines in the film. A lot of the gags in the film were a lot funnier, but you had to have sat through the annual Airport 197x made-for-TV movies to get them.

“There’s a sale at Penney’s!”

“I sure picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!”

“Excuse me, stewardess – I speak jive!”

“Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?”

Operator: Excuse me, Captain Oveur, but I have an emergency call on line 5 from a Mr. Hamm.Captain Oveur: Alright, give me a Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo.

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?

Randy: There’s been a little problem in the cockpit.Ted: The cockpit? What is it?Randy: It’s a little room in the front of the plane, where the pilots sit, but that’s not important right now.

He wasn’t joking Laura! This is serious! Nice ponytail by the way.

Not to be a downer but there have been funny last words said in a joking way as the person is dying so having a sense of humor doesn’t mean it’s not serious. But, at least she knows he isn’t comatose.

I saw that on the UT campus about 6 months after the Tylenol poisoning scare, and his line about “Oh, it’s a big pretty white plane with a red stripe, white curtains, and wheels, and looks like a big Tylenol” probably got the biggest laugh in the theater.

But yes, tons of great lines and sight-gags in that movie. Love it!

“…Roger, Roger….”

Johnny, what can you make out of this?

This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl…

When the doctor walked into the cockpit while she was inflating the automatic pilot doll just about killed me…

I see that Laura has her ‘Winry Rockbell’ look today. (Fans of Fullmetal Alchemist will know what I’m talking about.)

Airplane! references can never get old.
