It was a rough place - the seediest dive on the wharf. Populated with every reject and cutthroat from Bombay to Calcutta. It's worse than Detroit.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your stewardess speaking. We regret any inconvenience the sudden cabin movement might have caused. This is due to periodic air pockets we encountered. There's no reason to become alarmed and we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?

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.

Randy: Excuse me sir, there's been a little problem in the cockpit…
Striker: The cockpit…what is it?
Randy: It's the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important right now.

[Elaine and Rumack investigate the fish poisoning]
Elaine: Doctor, Mr. Hammen ate fish, and Randy said there are five more cases, and they all had fish, too.
Rumack: And the co-pilot had fish. What did the navigator have?
Elaine: He had fish.
Rumack: All right, now we know what we're up against. Every passenger on this plane had fish for dinner will become violently ill in the next half hour.
Elaine: Just how serious is it?
Rumack: Extremely serious. It starts with a slight fever and dryness of the throat.
[Oveur starts suffering from these]
Rumack: When the virus penetrates the red blood cells, the victim becomes dizzy, begins to experience an itchy rash...
[Oveur suffers from those as well]
Rumack: ...then the poison goes to work on the central nervous system, severe muscle spasms followed by the inevitable drooling.
[Oveur also suffers from these]
Rumack: At this point, the entire digestive system collapses accompanied by uncontrollable flatulence.
[Oveur does]
Rumack: Until finally, the poor bastard is reduced to a quivering wasted piece of jelly.
[Oveur collapses completely at the controls and the plane plummets, people swaying back and forth, and warning sign comes on saying "No Smoking - Rows 11-51, No Sexual Intercourse - Rows 13-51"] Partager la citation sur facebook
Dr. Rumack: Captain, these passengers don't have much time. How soon can we land?
Oveur: I can't tell.
Dr. Rumack: You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
Oveur: What I mean is, I don't know.
Dr. Rumack: Well can't you take a guess?
Oveur: ...Not for another two hours.
Dr. Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?
Oveur: No what I'm saying is we can't land for another two hours.

Steve: He'll never bring it down in this soup. Never! Not one chance in a million.
Rex: I know. I know. But it's his ship now, his command; he's in charge, he's the boss, the head man, the top dog, the big cheese, the head honcho, number one...
