The last thing he said to me, "Doc," he said, "Sometime when the crew is up against it, the breaks are beating the boys, tell them to get out there and give it all they got and win just one for the Zipper. I don't know where I'll be then, Doc," he said, "but I won't smell too good, that's for sure."

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you. (repeated several times, once even after the plane has landed)

I am serious. And don't call me Shirley.

Loneliness, that's the bottom line. I was never happy as a child... Christmas, Ted, what does that mean to you? It was living hell. Do you know what it's like falling in the mud and getting kicked, in the head? With an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does, that never happens. Sorry, Ted, it's a dumb question, skip that.

All right, Striker, you listen, and listen close. Flying a plane is no different from riding a bicycle; it's just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

Airport management, the FAA and the airlines. They're all cheats and liars. All right, lets get outta here.

Off to the tower? Rapunzel! Rapunzel!

Mayday? Why that's the Russian New Year. You know, we'll have a big parade, we'll serve hot hors d'oeuvre...

MCrosky : Johnny, what can you make outta this? [hands him a piece of paper]

Johnny  : This? Why I could make a hat, or a brooch, a pterodactyl. . .
Reporter : What kind of plane is it?

Johnny  : Oh, it's a big, pretty, white plane with red stripes, curtains in the window, and wheels, and it looks like a big Tylenol.
MCrosky : Bad news, the fog is getting thicker.

Johnny  : And Leon's getting laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrger.
Towergy : [holding up a newspaper] Captain, look at this!

MCrosky : Passengers certain to die!
Kramer  : Airline negligent.
Johnny  : There's a sale at Penny's!
MCrosky : Alright, I'll need 3 men up in the tower. You Newbower, you Maceias. . .

Johnny  : Me John! Big tree.
