I'm watching it right now. Oh, man, this movie is an absolute total classic. One of the most hilarious things I've ever seen on screen...second only to The Big Lebowski of course.
"That's Lieutenant Hurwitz. Severe shell shock...thinks he's Ethel Merman."
"Headquarters? What is it?"
"It's a big building where generals meet. But that's not important right now."
"What a pisser!"
(captain is talking to the Mayo Clinic on phone)
"Excuse me, this is the operator, Captain Oveur. I have an emergency call for you on line 5, from a Mr. Ham."
"All right, give me Ham on 5, hold the Mayo."
"We have clearance, Clarence."
"Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?"
"Joey, do you like movies about gladiators?"
Also, the bit where they play "Stayin' Alive" is cool, 'cos the song is speeded up a bit, sounds a lot better that way!
Airplane II was pretty good too. If only for scenes like this:
"Unger, didn't you serve under Oveur in the Air Force?"
"Not directly. Technically, Dunn was under Oveur and I was under Dunn."
"So Dunn, you were under Oveur and over Unger?'
"That's right, Dunn was over Unger and I was over...Dunn."
"So you see, both Dunn and I were under Oveur, even though I was under Dunn."
"Dunn was over Unger...and I was over Dunn."
"That's exactly what they'll be expecting us to do!"
"That's Lieutenant Hurwitz. Severe shell shock...thinks he's Ethel Merman."
