What's Your Favourite Quotes/Bits of the film?


Well Lets here them.......

My favourite is when Topper and Kent first go up and are competing to see who can go the lowest and Kent on the radio and says "for your info im at 150feet" and then topper over radio "i'm at 3rd and main" and he's about 6feet off the ground

reply

Topper to Kent: "Keep it up, you'll be carrying your face home in a doggy bag."

That really cracks me up.

reply

Definitely the bit where the pilots are told to "stand easy" (or something similar - been a while since I saw it) and they suddenly have basketballs and billowed-out scarfs etc.

Admiral Benson: Pete 'Dead Meat' Thompson is dead. So is Mo Green, Tataglia, Barzini, the heads of all the five families. It is at moments like these, my dear friends, that we must ask ourselves: "How can this not be part of some larger plan?" Do good men like Dead Meat Thompson just blink out one day like a bad bulb? I mean, one minute you're in bed with a knockout gal... or guy, and the next, you're a compost heap. Doesn't that bother any of you? Because it scares the living piss outta me!

Kent Gregory: Hey everybody. Drinks are on me.
Man: FREE BEER!

Topper Harley: Mrs. Thompson, I know you must hate me right now but there's something I want you to have. I've been putting a little away for the past ten years. It's not much. 2500. I wish I could do more.
Mrs. Mary 'Dead Meat' Thompson: Why, Topper. That's so sweet. Why, with the three million that I won on this Lucky Lotto ticket, I can take this 2500 and just blow it all on hats.

Kent Gregory: [to the crowd assembled on the flight deck] Uh we're landing, do you wanna get out of the way?
[People running away screaming]

Here were my favorite parts:

1. The scene with the parachute and the ambulance had me laughing so hard.

2. "Anyone from out of town?" You can see some Amish guy and an Eskimo.

3. The scene where the guy gets punched downstairs and into a dentist's chair.

reply

Yes, the "Is it safe?" reference to "Marathon Man" was hilarious.

Another good one was when Ramada tells Topper she has to give their relationship some thought and Topper says "Well I don't. I've fallen for you like a blind roofer."

On the final attack when Washout is watching the radar screen and he suddenly sneezes on it: "Oh my God three more of them. And there's a blimp, a big, shiny blimp and it's slowly heading SOUTH!!!"

Anything Lloyd Bridges does is just gold in this movie. The whole "Pudding" scene just cracks me up. It's just the way he says it and the way it splatters over the guy's face!

The "Roy" bit is terrific as well.

A few more - when his hat blows off and at the end when he rolls down the steps:

"Damn Crabs!"
"What crabs, Sir?"
"Don't tell me you didn't see them! They always work in pairs!"

The funeral as well. The way he acts out senility is just brill!

Anything with Admiral Benson:

-What size shoe do you wear? (A nine, sir.) Good. It's settled, then. We'll send Harley to the front.
-I look out there at all you wonderful guys and I say to myself, "what I wouldn't give to be twenty years younger... and a woman.
-I love soup!... I think I love soup. Son of a b*tchin' shell, it's either soup or duck! Which one do you shoot? (Duck, sir...are you alright, sir?) Of course I'm alright, why? What've you heard?
-Many of you are wondering what's wrong with my pants: they started running short of material right before they got to the knees, so, don't give me any s**t.
-In exactly five hours, seventeen minutes, we hit the enemy toast. (I think it's the enemy coast, sir.) Coast? That'll take a little more planning, but it doesn't matter.

...and of course the scene with the doctor

-Nurse! Check his penis. Is it bigger than mine? (Uh, no.) Good! Now this is gonna hurt. *bites Dead Meat's nose*

reply

I thought the funeral was the funniest scene in the movie.

Rocky VI must happen! Sean Penn said so!

Sargent: Are you eyeballing me, Mister?
Kowalski: NO SIR!
Sarg: Well, the next time I see that ugly face of yours I want it clean- shaven; suck in that chest!

reply

"I thought I saw Elvis."
"Face it Topper, the King is gone."

and when they're in the office, and the soldiers are dancing around in a circle randomly outside the window, with high-kick thing. Its so random.

"You"

HHAAA!

My favorite quotes are these:

*Washout checks radar and looks to Cheif*
"Sir, we've got 10 boggies on our tail at 10 o'clock!"

*Cheif looks at watch*
" 10 o'clock? Well that gives us 20 minutes! I think I'll step out for a burger.."



"Hello Cheif, How are you sir?"

"Hawaii? God d*****, I'm supposed to be in California.."



*Dead Meat gets hit by ambulance*
"Wendy, I can fly!"

The crab sequence is the best thing in the history of film, when he falls down the stairs and the followin takes place....

Admiral Benson: I slipped on a crab. Who put that crab there?
Lt. Commander Block: I don't see any crab.
Admiral Benson: Don't tell me. There were two crabs they work in pairs.

Just absoloutly hilarious, I laugh so hard everytime I see it, Lloyd Bridges was an absoloute legend! RIP sir

reply

RIP sir, indeed!

Love any scene with Lloyd Bridges! How many different names did he call Block?
