A scene from Spaceballs 1987
Colonel Sandurz

I don't know. They must have hyperjets on that thing!

Dark Helmet

And what have we got on this thing, a Cuisinart?!

Colonel Sandurz

No, sir!

Dark Helmet

Well find them, catch them!

Colonel Sandurz

Yes sir! Prepare ship for light speed!

Dark Helmet

No-no-no, light speed is too slow!

Colonel Sandurz

Light speed too slow?

Dark Helmet

Yes, we'll have to go right to...ludicrous speed!

Colonel Sandurz

[The entire crew gasps.]

Ludicrous speed?! Sir, we've never gone that fast before. I don't know if this ship can take it!

Dark Helmet

What's the matter Colonel Sandurz... chicken?

Colonel Sandurz

[stuttering]

Prepare ship--prepare ship for ludicrous speed! Fasten all seat belts, seal all entrances and exits, close all shops in the mall! Cancel the three ring circus! Secure all animals in the zoo...

Dark Helmet

Give me that, you petty excuse for an officer! Now hear this! Ludicrous speed!

Colonel Sandurz

Sir, hadn't you better buckle up?

Dark Helmet

Aw, buckle this! Ludicrous speed! Go!!
