McCroskey

I want the best available man on this, a man who knows that plane inside and out and won't crack under pressure.

How 'bout Mr. Rogers?

(trying to keep the crashing plane under control)

Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!

Mayday? What the hell is that for?

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

This? Why I could make a hat, or a brooch, a pterodactyl... (McCroskey yanks the paper out of Johnny's hands, and Johnny resumes typing on the typewriter.)
