"Washington will hold you personally responsible" (from six foot six or so down to about five foot five) "I'm sorry I can't tell you why. We'll send you a cable and tell you when he's well enough to send home"

It's a good thing Arness wasn't killed, or who'd have sent the cable to send Dan'l Boone back to the woods?

Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time
that's not funny!

I didn't know Fess was Dan'l Boone. Only that he was Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier earlier on; so that Crockett couldn't of sent a wire off to D.C.

That booze quote totally had me rolling. This film was highly quotable. I can see why it started so many similar films to follow.

If I can still lift an arm when this is all over, I'm gonna show you how saturated I can get

"Now say over"
"I just said it"
"Say it again"
"Over?"

And at the end of that scene where Whitmore takes the mic and says 'over and out'. Gwen says, 'now your happy!'.

“We’ve just had a close look at the beginning of what may be the end of us.”

“They were sent west to check on a rather large sugar theft. 40 tons to be exact.”

“What’ve you been up to lately?”
“Oh, same as always; nothing.”

Captain: Fingerprints on the trailer check out real good. Mr. Elinson was an FBI agent on an extended two months' vacation with his wife and two children. Call the local FBI office. They've got a stake in this case now. Tell them Mr. Elinson's vacation looks like it's been extended indefinitely.


Dr. Medford: Quite a breeze.
Peterson: The goggles, doctor.
Dr. Medford: What about them?
Peterson: You're supposed to wear them over your eyes.
Dr. Medford: Oh, thank you. Thanks. Ha. Ha. Yes. Yes, that is better.


When Patricia asked Grotty, the pilot, about the "flying" things.

Grotty: I've already told those headshrinking doctors four dozen times. I'm sick of telling it. I tell it and I get laughed at or clucked over or clucked over or laughed at.


The "get the antennae" instructions from Dr. Medford also cracked me up. As an academic, he'd say the plural properly. And then when one antenna was down, he yelled "Get the other antenna!"

I'm thinking wouldn't it be better to say "Get both antenna" (without distinguishing between plural/singular). But there's no fun and suspense in that. LOL!

Actually,the line is-"make me a sergeant and charge the booze",not IN CHARGE OF the booze.

reply

On the DVD I have the English subtitle definitely says "make me a sergeant in charge of the booze."

Hi, Bob.

Exactly. He might have been so knowledgeable as to be able to tell the difference. Who's to say that one has to have been a female because most are?
