Airplane! (1980) Edit

A couple points of interest.

A hospital, what is it?

A little girl named Lisa Davis, en route to Minneapolis.

A little late tonight. We've been waiting for you.

A little respect, just a little bit

A long time ago.

A man who knows that plane inside and out

Accompanied by uncontrollable flatulence,

Aim for the numbers. You'll have to dip your left wing.

Aim the touch down a third of the way along.

Air Force, positions number four and five.

Air Israel, please clear the runway.

Airport vehicles take positions one and two.

Airsick?

All aboard!

All I have are memories.

All right, but just remember,

All right, Colosimo, you work the relay.

All right, give me Hamm on 5, hold the Mayo.

All right, he's on final now.

All right, I'll need three men up in the tower.

All right, I'm going to unlock the automatic pilot.

All right, I'm gonna level with you all.

All right, now I want you to disengage the automatic pilot.

All right, now just listen carefully.

All right, now, everybody, get in crash positions.

All right, Steve, let's face a few facts.

All right, Striker. You're doing just fine.

All right.

All right. It's obvious you remember me.

All right. Now we know what we're up against.

All right. Would you tell him to just relax,

Also, it's very important that she remain calm.

Also, Supperware products are ideal for storing leftovers

Altitude, 24,000 feet.

And a darling figure.

And a little ice.

And afterwards how we'd watch till the sun came up.

And besides, I'm 26 and I'm not married.

And communicate so successfully with the Molombos.

And every minute counts.

And finally, advanced competitive theory.

And he says that lots of times, you don't even run downcourt.

And he wants to know if you can help him.

And I can't live with a man I don't respect.

And I thought you'd might like some coffee.

And I want a priority approach and landing in Chicago.

And I wanted to know if life had a purpose

And I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine.

And it flows through me

And it flows through you

And keep an eye on that number three engine gauge, over there.

And leave you free for flying?

And Leon's getting larger!

And not one of them shows you can accept any real responsibility.

And Randy said there are five more cases,

And send me one, all right?

And stop calling me Shirley.

And that a continuous watch is kept on her IV.

And that won't make my job any easier tonight.

And that you don't really try except during the playoffs.

And that, as much as anything else, led to my drinking problem.

And the captain needs someone to help him with the radio.

And the copilot had fish.

And the gate locked. And get a note to the milkman.

And the rest of the passengers are worried.

And the wind's aloft, and IFR ceilings all the way.

And there is no stopping in the red zone.

And they all had fish, too.

And they had no athletic equipment.

And those shoes, and that coat. Jesus!

And we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight.

And we hope you enjoy the rest of your flight.

And we're running out of time.

And we've lost the copilot and navigator, too.

And what it all means in the end

And when I give the word, pull the cord on the right side flap.

And won't crack under pressure.

And, Ted, I just want you to know that when the going got rough...

Any word on that storm lifting over Salt Lake, Clarence?

Anyplace. Anyplace where there's a chance to land that plane!

Are probably too busy flying the plane for that.

Are you a doctor?

Are you a pilot yourself?

As the virus penetrates the red blood cells,

As you know, I flew with this man, Striker, during the war.

At first they didn't know what to think of us.

At least he'll avoid killing innocent people.

At this point, the entire digestive system collapses,

Auntie Em, Uncle Henry, Toto! It's a twister! It's a twister!

Automatic pilot. Automatic pilot.

Backed up all the way to Utah.

Bad news. The fog is getting thicker.

Be patient, Ted.

Because of my mistake, six men didn't return from that raid.

Being done right now.

Besides, I haven't touched any kind of plane in six years.

Better get onboard, son.

Bill!

Bill! Bill... With me all the time.

Bill...

Both pilots?

But as I say, they didn't have time to tell me very much.

But at least I have a husband.

But Dr. Sandler says you'll be out in a week.

But enough about me. I hope this hasn't been boring for you.

But I wanna tell you something

But I wanna tell you something

But if you do what I tell you, when I tell you to do it,

But it won't be.

But it'll be different.

But my dad says you don't work hard enough on defense.

But some of us here, particularly me,

But soon, we gained their trust.

But Steve McCroskey thought you'd wanna get down here right away.

But suddenly, there she was.

But that's not important right now.

But the other two pilots are just fine.

But there's one thing I do know.

But this plane has four engines.

But watch out you don't make any violent control movements

But we'll do everything we can. Now excuse me, yeah?

But who didn't have fish for dinner.

But you wouldn't even let me do that.

But your watch. You shouldn't. You're gonna need this.

But...

By the way, is there anyone onboard who knows how to fly a plane?

Calm down, now get back to your seat. I'll take care of this problem now.

Calm down! Get a hold of yourself.

Calm down. Get a hold of yourself!

Can I get you something?

Can you do something, please?

Can you tell me if Elaine Dickinson is on this flight?

Can't push him too hard. He might break.

Captain Clarence Oveur, white courtesy phone.

Captain Geline.

Captain Hinshaw, Captain Roberts.

Captain Hinshaw, this is Captain Gatz.

Captain Kramer, Captain Gatz.

Captain Oveur, white courtesy phone.

Captain Oveur, white courtesy phone. Captain Clarence Oveur.

Captain Oveur's passed out on the floor,

Captain, maybe we ought to turn on the searchlights now.

Captain, one of the woman passengers is very sick.

Causing severe muscle spasms, followed by the inevitable drooling.

Chicago, this is flight 209'er.

Chief, these reporters won't leave without a statement.

Chief, this weather bulletin just came off the wire.

Chief, we got fog, right down to the deck,

Christmas, Ted, what does that mean to you?

Chump don't want the help, chump don't get the help.

Civilian equipment, number three.

Climbing to cruise at 42,000.

Close the window!

Coming in too fast. Watch your speed.

Coming in too hot!

Compared to a fighter.

Complete confidence in your chances

Completely isolated from civilization.

Concentrate. Concentrate. Concentrate.

Concentrate. Concentrate. Concentrate.

Could I borrow your guitar? I thought maybe I could cheer her up.

Course, zero niner zero.

Cream?

Curtains in the window, and wheels, and it looks like a big Tylenol.

Cut me some slack, Jack.

Denver it is.

Different cities, different jobs.

Do you feel all right, sir?

Do you know anything about planes?

Do you know anything about planes?

Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked,

Do you mind if I talk to your daughter?

Do you see us now?

Do you understand?

Do you want me to check the weather, Clarence?

Doctor, I've checked everyone. Mr. Striker's the only one.

Doctor, there are two more sick people,

Doctor, you're wanted on the phone.

Don't be a fool, Striker.

Don't tell me which zone is for stopping and which zone is for loading.

Donations for Reverend Moon?

Dr. Rumack says the sick people are getting worse,

Dr. Rumack says the sick people are in critical condition,

Dr. Rumack, do you have any idea when we'll be landing?

Dr. Rumack, Mr. Hammen ate fish,

Dr. Rumack.

Ease off, Rex. He hasn't flown for years.

Ease up on the throttle!

Elaine had doubts about our relationship.

Elaine,

Elaine,

Elaine, he wants you to sit in the copilot's seat.

Elaine, I've gotta talk to you.

Elaine, just hear me out.

Elaine, right next to the throttle is the air speed gauge.

Elaine, you're a member of this crew.

Elaine?

Even if I could,

Every day.

Every passenger on this plane who had fish for dinner

Every piece of emergency equipment you can reach.

Every place east of the Rockies.

Everyone in this plane is in a desperate situation.

Everything's gonna be all right, please!

Excuse me, Doc.

Excuse me, sir, would you...

Excuse me, sir.

Excuse me, this is the operator, Captain Oveur.

Excuse me, we'd like you to have this flower

Excuse me, we'd like you to have this flower.

Extremely serious.

Find out what it means to me

Find out what the two sick people had for dinner.

Finding someone back there who can not only fly this plane,

Firm thighs.

First time?

Flight 209 now arriving, Gate 8.

Flight 209'er, clear for vector 324.

Flight 209'er, come in.

Flight 209'er, this is Denver flight control.

Flight 209'er, you're cleared for takeoff.

Flight 988 to Milwaukee

Flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle.

Fog has closed down everything this side of the mountains.

For everyone else, it's ancient history.

For the up and coming monsoon months.

For what happened on that raid.

Forklift?

Free to pursue a life of religious fulfillment.

From Bombay to Calcutta.

From one of the raids.

From Salt Lake to Lincoln.

From the Church of Religious Conscious...

From the Church of Religious Consciousness.

From the Religious Consciousness Church.

From there, the poison goes to work on the central nervous system,

Gate 9.

Gate 10.

Gate 13.

Gate 14.

Gate 15.

Gee, that'd be swell!

George Zipp said that?

Get back to you in a minute. Hold all takeoffs.

Get ready to flare it out!

Get that finger out of your ear.

Give me a big smile.

Go ahead with your call.

Gonna have the whole world on a plate

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is Captain Oveur speaking.

Good. Very good. Now check your altitude.

Goodbye, darling!

Goodbye, darling!

Goodbye, darling!

Got a cigarette, Nels?

Gotta remember who you're dealing with.

Gunderson, check the radar range. Anything yet?

Gunderson, let me know when you get anything.

Half an hour, maybe 45 minutes.

Have a nice day.

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Have you ever flown a multi engine plane before?

Have your picture taken the minute you get there

He could barely talk.

He gets so excited when new people are here.

He had fish.

He knows! He knows!

He looked up at me and, "Doc," he said,

He said that he's in great pain,

He thinks he's a pilot, still fighting the war.

He thinks he's Ethel Merman.

He was one of those men who...

He went all to pieces one particular mission.

He'll never make it in this soup. Never, not one chance in a million.

He's a menace to himself and everything else in the air.

He's all over the place.

He's below 700 now, still going down.

He's coming right at us!

He's gonna have enough on his mind without worrying about those times

He's right.

Headquarters! What is it?

Hello, I'm Paul Carey from the airline. I'm here to pick up Captain Kramer.

Hello?

Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?

Hello.

Hello. We'd like you to have this flower

Hello. We'd like you to have this flower

Help Jerry's kids?

Hey, Larry, where's the forklift?

Hey, Striker. How about a break? I'm getting tired.

Hey, what about that southern route around Tulsa?

Hi, I'm Randy.

Hi, we'll be taking off real soon, so I better fasten you in tight.

Hinshaw, take over.

Hold up, harder! Put down more flap!

Honey, everything's coming up

How about Buddhism?

How about Mr. Rogers?

How about this leaflet, "Famous ******* Sports Legends"?

How are the passengers doing?

How I used to sit on your face and wriggle,

How many times I've warned those people about food inspection.

How much longer can those passengers hold out?

How soon do we land?

Hurry, hurry.

I always get so carried away.

I can't even be sure of saving their lives.

I can't stand it anymore.

I can't stand it.

I can't take much more of this.

I can't take the pressure.

I didn't go there that night to fall in love. I just dropped in for a couple of drinks.

I don't have time to say this gently, so I'll be very direct.

I don't have what it takes.

I don't understand it. Should have been in range 10 minutes ago.

I don't want another plane in the air. When the 508 reports,

I guess the foot's on the other hand now, isn't it, Kramer?

I guess you meant for me to read it later.

I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me

I happened to be passing,

I have an emergency call for you on line 5 from a Mr. Hamm.

I have been patient, and I've tried to help,

I haven't felt this awful since we saw that Ronald Reagan film.

I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.

I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.

I just wanna tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you.

I just wanna tell you both, good luck. We're all counting on you.

I just wanted to get as far away from things as possible,

I know that right now things must look pretty rough up there,

I know things haven't been right for a long time,

I know what you're gonna say, so save your breath.

I know, but remember, you must get some rest.

I know, but this guy doing the flying has no airline experience at all.

I know, I know. But it's his ship now. His command. He's in charge.

I know! I know!

I looked in the eyes of the cold and the hungry

I lose all track of time.

I love you, darling!

I love you, Elaine.

I love you.

I may bend your precious airplane, but I'll get it down.

I never wanted it to end. Hell, I guess I still don't.

I promise I can change.

I remember everything.

I remember how you used to hold me.

I remember when we first met.

I reviewed the area report for 1600 hours through 2400.

I say let them crash.

I shouldn't have had that second cup of coffee.

I started them on simple calisthenics,

I take it black. Like my men.

I think I will have another cup of coffee.

I think so, but I've never seen it so acute.

I think you ought to know what our chances are.

I think you should go back to your seat now, Joey. Right, Clarence?

I think you're the greatest,

I thought maybe you'd like to hear a song.

I traveled the banks of the River of Jordan

I tried a number of jobs.

I used to hang out at the Magumba Bar.

I want every light you can get poured onto that field.

I want the best available man on this.

I want the kids in bed by 9:00. I want the dog fed, the yard watered,

I want the one that'll block a wall.

I want the weather on every landing field this side of the Rockies

I wanted you to know, now,

I was afraid to approach her. But that night, fate was on my side.

I was captivated, entranced. It hit me like a thunderbolt.

I was crazy to think I could land this plane.

I was in the Air Force,

I was in the war myself, Medical Corps.

I was just looking for someone with flying experience.

I was never happy as a child.

I was patient with them, and they were eager to learn.

I will, but Jim won't.

I wish I could say the same for George Zipp.

I won't be back. I've requested the Atlanta run.

I won't deceive you, Mr. Striker.

I wouldn't know anything about it.

I'd like one ticket to Chicago.

I'd love to.

I'll be back in a minute.

I'll bet you have exciting things happen all the time down there.

I'll go back to the passengers.

I'll see if I can find some Dramamine.

I'll take care of the passengers.

I'll take it, Elaine.

I'll take it, Elaine.

I'll talk to the captain and see what I can arrange.

I'll tell you what, Joey.

I'll turn on some air.

I'm an airline pilot.

I'm doing everything I can.

I'm gonna need all the luck there is.

I'm Lisa.

I'm ordering you to stay up there!

I'm out there busting my buns every night.

I'm putting the landing gear down now.

I'm scared. I've never been so scared.

I'm sorry to bother you.

I'm sorry, son, but you must have me confused with someone else.

I'm sorry, Ted. That's a dumb question. Skip that.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

I'm very proud.

I've found a wonderful apartment for us.

I've found the tunnel, Johnson! It's this way!

I've got a plane to land.

I've got to concentrate.

I've got to concentrate.

I've gotta get out of here. I've got to get out of here!

I've gotta get out.

I've gotta give him all the confidence I can.

I've kept to myself through these years.

I've kept to myself through these years.

If Striker can get that plane down in time.

If that doesn't stop you, cut the four ignition switches

If that doesn't stop you...

If you'll just be patient, I can work things out.

In a moment, we'll ask you to assume crash positions.

In the silence I listened to voices inside me

Introducing them to our Western culture.

Is it?

Is now in the final boarding process at Gate 34.

Is reduced to a quivering, wasted piece of jelly.

Is somebody there who can work the radio

Isn't that wonderful?

It could get plenty soupy.

It happened to Barbara Stanwyck.

It has a brick fireplace and a cute little bedroom

It looks like the original flight plan over Denver is the best bet.

It takes so many things to make love last.

It was at that moment that I first realized

It was during the war.

It was probably due to the advanced American teaching techniques

It was really a challenge during the year,

It'll help you better prepare storing foods

It's a big building with patients. But that's not important right now.

It's a damn good thing he doesn't know how much I hate his guts.

It's a damn good thing you don't know how much he hates your guts.

It's a shame you two don't get along.

It's about two more minutes, Chief.

It's an entirely different kind of flying.

It's been a little bumpy up here, but we'll be past it in a few minutes.

It's classified.

It's gonna be a long night.

It's just that whenever I start to talk about Elaine,

It's not his fault. Could happen to any pilot.

It's nothing to be alarmed about.

It's over there by the baggage loader.

It's really the only sensible thing to do, if it's done properly.

It's sluggish, like a wet sponge.

It's the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit.

It's the truth.

It's time for us to go back home to the plans we made before the war.

It's unbelievable!

It's your mofo butter laying me to the bone,

It's your wife.

Jacking me up.

**** for Jesus?

Jim never has a second cup of coffee at home.

Jim never vomits at home.

Jive ass dude don't got no brains, anyhow.

Joey, do you ever hang around a gymnasium?

Joey, have you ever been in a...

Joey, I think the pilots

Joey, we have something here for our special visitors.

Joey, we have something here for our special visitors.

Joey?

Johnny, what do you make out of this?

Just a little bit

Just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.

Just forget about everything except what we have to do now?

Just hope that doesn't happen tonight.

Just how serious is it, Doctor?

Just kidding.

Just kidding.

Just like Gerald Ford.

Just remember, the controls will feel very heavy

Keep them at 24,000.

L.A. Departure frequency, 123.9'er.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your stewardess speaking.

Land too fast, use your emergency brakes.

Later, we'll run down the landing procedure.

Latest weather report shows everything socked in

Let me see your tongue.

Let's see.

Let's see.

Level flight.

Like a wet sponge.

Like each new day was created only for us.

Like George Zipp.

Like it was in the beginning, remember?

Like it was in the beginning.

Like you did in the fighter plane.

Listen to me, Kramer.

Listen, Betty, don't start up with your white zone shit again.

Listen, kid.

Loneliness, that's the bottom line.

Look out!

Look, Rex, I want you to get on the horn and talk that guy down.

Look. You'll be back in town tomorrow night.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

Macias, get me Captain Oveur's wife on the phone.

Maybe you know the kind.

Mayday! Mayday!

Mayday? Why, that's the Russian New Year.

Me, John, big tree.

Meanwhile, relax and enjoy your flight, okay?

More nuclear power?

Most of all, it takes respect.

Mostly, I remember the nights when we were together.

Mr. Striker is the only hope we've got.

Mr. Striker, the passengers are ready.

Municipal bonds, Ted. I'm talking double A rating.

My mama didn't raise no dummies. I dug her rap.

My name is Roger Murdock.

My name is Roger Murdock. I'm the co pilot.

My orders came through.

My squadron ships out tomorrow.

Nervous?

Nick, Pete, Jared. There's a fire in the barn!

No baggage.

No frills passengers now arriving.

No matter what the size.

No more cheese!

No wonder you're upset.

No, feet.

No, he's not bothering anyone. Let him stay here.

No, I'm in a training program.

No, I've been nervous lots of times.

No, it's dropping. It's dropping fast.

No, Joey can stay here for a while if he'd like.

No, no one I know of.

No, no, no. I mean, we can't land for another two hours.

No, not likely, Victor.

No, sir, I've never been up in a plane before.

No, thank you.

No, thanks. We gave at the office.

No, that's what I said. You heard me.

No, the white zone is for loading and unloading,

No.

No. I don't have a thing to say.

No. Never.

No. No, thank you.

Nobody expects you to get over this immediately.

Not as long as you insist on living in the past.

Not just yet. We'll have you in radar range any second now.

Now that is the manual inflation nozzle. Pull it out and blow on it.

Now, is there anyone onboard who can land this plane?

Now, it is true that one of the crew members is ill.

Now, one more thing,

Now, there's a chance that we can save them

Now, we don't know how serious it is yet.

Now, we're going to make it. You've got to believe that.

Now, you can work them direct from here, Captain.

Now, you're gonna have to let him get the feel of that airplane on the way.

Of course you don't. No one does. That never happens.

Oh, gee whiz.

Oh, hi, Roger. Glad to have you aboard.

Oh, it won't be long now. Try not to worry.

Oh, it's a big, pretty white plane with red stripes,

Oh, my God! The automatic pilot, it's deflating!

Oh, rats!

Oh, really, Vernon? Why pretend?

Oh, stewardess?

Oh, Ted, I never knew I could be so happy.

Oh, Ted, please be careful. I worry about you so much.

Oh, that's very nice of you. Thank you.

Oh, well. Airport management, the FAA and the airlines,

Oh, yes. She is on board.

Oh, you have a guitar.

Okay, all right. Have a nice day.

Okay, boys. Let's get some pictures.

Okay, folks. There you go.

Okay, okay, he's a terrible risk. But what other choice have we got?

Okay, Robert, slip them down. This won't hurt much.

Okay.

Okay. Have a nice day.

Okay. Here, hurry.

On behalf of the Church of Religious Consciousness.

On flights out of Los Angeles.

On the belt line of the automatic pilot, there is a hollow tube.

One moment for your call from the Mayo Clinic.

One name

One of the passengers is gonna land that plane.

One of the passengers, but he's an experienced Air Force pilot

One thing, do you know what he had for dinner?

Our arrival time in Chicago will be 10:45 p.m. Central time.

Our one hope is to build this man up.

Out of here! I've gotta get out of here!

Over the copilot's head.

Pain. Pain.

Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon, Manny Mota.

Place the jacket over your head,

Please have your baggage claim checks ready

Populated with every reject and cutthroat

Pretty soon. How you bearing up?

Primary target covered by fog.

Promise you'll write?

Pull on a lever. Push a button!

Put down 30 degrees of flap!

Put out a general bulletin to suspend all meal service

R E S P E C T

R E S P E C T

Rain.

Randy, are you all right?

Rapunzel! Rapunzel!

Read about Jehovah's Witness.

Red handle's right in front of you.

Red Leader! Red Leader! I'm going down.

Remember your brakes and switches!

Roger, Denver.

Roger, Elaine, roger. I read you.

Roger, I was telling Victor,

Roger, Roger. What's our vector, Victor?

Roger, take over!

Route him into Lake Michigan.

Say he can't hang, say seven up.

Severe shellshock.

Shana, they bought their tickets.

She gonna catch up on the rebound on the medi side.

She wanted a career.

She's lovely.

She's scheduled for a heart transplant,

Shep, come!

Shep, no!

Shep, sit. Sit.

Shit. This is a goddamn waste of time!

Since just the day before, only one that we had broke down.

Sir? Excuse me, sir. I'm sorry I have to wake you.

Slightly ill.

Sluggish,

So Elaine and I joined the Peace Corps.

So help me, you'll have to talk him right down to the ground!

So we had to take a special jeep up to the main road.

So, I understand you have a real emergency down there.

So, what do you say you and I

Sock it to me, sock it to me

Sock it to me, sock it to me Sock it to me, sock it to me

Soon as the fog lifts, we'll bring you in.

Sorry, Clarence.

Speed, 520 knots.

Stan, go upstairs to the tower and get a runway diagram.

Stand by, Striker.

Stand by, Striker. We're going to the tower. Good luck.

Startin' here, startin' now

Stationed in Drambuie off the Barbary Coast.

Stay in formation. Targets just ahead.

Steve?

Stewardess, please, let me handle this.

Stewardess?

Stewardess?

Stricken airliner approaching Chicago.

Striker, before we start, I'd like to say something.

Striker, now listen to me.

Striker, that plane can't land itself!

Striker, this is Captain Rex Kramer speaking.

Striker, this is Red Leader 4.

Striker, what kind of weather you in up there?

Striker, you listen, and you listen close.

Striker, you're coming in too fast!

Striker?

Striker?

Striker?

Supple, pouting breasts.

Surely there must be something you can do.

Surely you can't be serious?

Take care of yourself. Goodbye!

Take out T C P

Target should be clear if you go in low enough.

Target should be clear if you go in low enough.

Taxi!

Ted Striker was a crack flight leader up to a point.

Ted, I don't wanna stay here.

Ted, that was probably the lousiest landing

Ted! What are you doing here? You can't fly this plane.

Ted?

Tell them I'm in the dispatch office, and I want it here fast.

Tell them the gear is down, and we're ready to land.

Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier

Terry, check down the field for emergency equipment.

Thank you for flying Trans American.

Thank you, thank you. You look so happy today.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks, Randy.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That pilot's name was George Zipp.

That we were able to bridge the generations of isolation

That's Clarence Oveur, over.

That's good advice.

That's impossible. They're on instruments.

That's just what they'll be expecting us to do.

That's Lieutenant Hurwitz.

That's right.

That's the way I've always wanted it to be, Elaine.

That's the whole story there, Rex. Everything we know.

That's what I've been trying to tell these people.

The best investment in America.

The brake! Pull the red handle!

The brake! Pull the red handle!

The cockpit! What is it?

The decision is yours.

The decision to proceed is yours.

The gear is down, and we're ready to land.

The hell I don't!

The last thing he said to me, "Doc," he said.

The life of everyone onboard depends upon just one thing.

The Molombos.

The mood in the place was downright ugly.

The most important thing now is that you remain calm.

The radio's all yours now.

The red zone has always been for loading and unloading.

The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

The stewardess said that...

The sudden cabin movement might have caused.

The temperature there is currently 62 degrees,

The tower! The tower!

The victim becomes dizzy, begins to experience an itching, a rash.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only.

Then gradually worked them up to rudimentary game skills.

Then why didn't you take the job that Louie Netz offered you at Boeing?

Then you'll have to talk him onto the approach.

There he is!

There is never stopping in a white zone.

There is no reason to panic.

There is no stopping in the red zone.

There is no stopping in the red zone.

There is no stopping in the red zone.

There is no stopping in the white zone.

There is only one people

There is only one river

There it is!

There you go. Thank you.

There. Have a nice trip.

There's a little girl onboard, up front,

There's a sale at Penney's!

There's a slight crosswind from the right, so be ready for it.

There's an occluded front stalled over the Dakotas,

There's been a little problem in the cockpit...

There's juice in the refrigerator.

There's just no stopping in a white zone.

There's no possible place they can land.

There's no reason to become alarmed,

There's no reason why you shouldn't have

There's no way he can land this plane!

There's nothing to worry about.

There's some trouble on your husband's flight.

These past few months have been just wonderful.

They knew what they were getting into.

They seemed to enjoy themselves.

They wouldn't hire me because of my war record.

They wouldn't hire me because of my war record.

They'd be better off with someone who'd never flown before.

They'd never seen Americans before.

They'll have to come through to Chicago.

They're all cheats and liars!

They've cleared you of any blame

Things used to be different.

This 2 quart Seals M Rite container keeps hot dog buns fresh for days.

This bulletin just handed to me.

This is Captain McCroskey. This is Captain Roberts.

This is Captain Oveur.

This is due to periodic air pockets we encounter.

This is Ed Macias calling from the airport.

This is Elaine Dickinson. I'm the stewardess.

This is gonna be a real sweat.

This is Joey Hammen.

This is one of my favorites.

This is Steve McCroskey at Chicago Air Control.

This is the thrust.

This must turn on the landing lights.

This?

Those are the flaps.

Tightening me.

To come out of this thing alive and in one piece.

To find where it flows to the sea

To help stretch your food dollar.

To make sure I wasn't dreaming.

To me, it was a living hell.

To that little seafood place, and...

Tomorrow, why don't we drive up the coast

Tower to all emergency vehicles. Runway is niner.

Trim, mixture.

Turn on automatic pilot.

Two more minutes? They could be miles off course.

Up and down the court for 48 minutes.

Very well.

Victor, this is Roger Murdock. Victor Basta.

Victor, we're running into some heavy weather, can you...

Wait a minute. I know you.

War is hell.

Wash, soap, rinse, spin.

Watch for that crosswind. Level it out.

Watch that oil temperature. What the hell's he doing up there?

Watch your altitude, Striker. You're too erratic.

We are one

We are the father

We better let her know what's going on.

We both know perfectly well what it is you're talking about.

We danced.

We did come back to the States.

We have a visitor.

We have clearance, Clarence.

We have some passengers that are very sick.

We have the heart here ready for surgery.

We laughed. We talked.

We must have the recipient on the operating table within six hours.

We regret any inconvenience

We were assigned to an isolated tribe.

We'd better get back now, Joey.

We'll be back to you very quickly.

We'll have a big parade. We'll serve hot hors d'oeuvres.

We'll need a pre landing flight check.

We'll pass just to the south of the Grand Canyon.

We're all ready, sir.

We're bombing the storage depots at Daiquiri at 1800 hours.

We're coming in from the north, below their radar.

We're going to the tower.

We're in trouble.

We're now at 2, 000 feet, beginning our descent.

We're now flying over Hoover Dam, and a little later on,

We're running out of time.

We've got to get through to Chicago.

We've got to have all traffic below us cleared,

We've got to land now.

Well, I could go on for hours, but I'd probably start to bore you.

Well, I double checked the terminal forecast,

Well, I flew in the war, but that was years ago.

Well, I flew single engine fighters in the Air Force,

Well, I'll give him another 20 minutes.

Well, it's a big building where generals meet,

Well, let's just say, felt too much inside.

Well, right now, things aren't so good.

Well, the airline business does have its moments,

Well, the doctor will be with you in just a moment.

Well, the whole flight crew has boarded.

Well, there's some light scattered cover at 20,000, icing around 18.

Well, there's some light scattered cover at 20,000, icing around 18.

Well, to be honest, I've never been so scared.

Well, we had a choice. Steak or fish.

Well, would you go up? Please?

Well, you see...

Well...

What a pisser.

What an asshole.

What flying experience have you had?

What happened, Ted? What went wrong?

What is it?

What it is, big mama?

What kind of plane is it?

What speed does it indicate?

What the hell's going on up there?

What the hell's going on up there?

What was it we had for dinner tonight?

What's going on up there?

What's going on? We have a right to know the truth.

What's his problem?

What's hurt you the most is your record since the war.

What's the matter?

When can I see the cockpit, Dad?

When do we start down?

When I get back to Chicago, I'm going to start my life all over again.

When Kramer hears about this, the shit's gonna hit the fan.

When they brought in a badly wounded pilot

When they built those roads, they had no thought of drainage in mind.

When things weren't so good.

When we re enlist, I'll teach them baseball.

When will you be back?

Where did you get that dress? It's awful!

Where do they top out?

Where the hell is Kramer?

Who flew during the war, so there's no cause for alarm.

Who's flying the plane?

Why is it doing that?

Why, I could make a hat or a brooch. Or a pterodactyl, could eat your...

Why, I think that'd be nice.

Will become violently ill in the next half hour.

Will report again over Lincoln. Over and out.

With a floatation device.

With mirrors on the ceiling, and...

Won't you sit down?

Would either of you like another cup of coffee?

Would like to buy you a drink and shake your hand.

Would you care...

Would you gentlemen care to order your dinners?

Would you like some coffee before we serve dinner?

Would you like to make a donation?

Would you like to order dinner now?

Would you put all your metal objects into this dish, please?

Wow.

WZAZ in Chicago, where disco lives forever.

Yeah, after the war,

Yeah, all right. Take five.

Yeah, something like that.

Yeah, that's right. That's right.

Yeah, well, if she decides to push over to the Great Lakes,

Yes, birds too.

Yes, I know.

Yes, of course. We both had fish. Why?

Yes?

Yes.

Yes. Come in, Paul. Rex'll be right out.

Yes. Thank you.

Yes. The stewardess is here with me.

You better leave, sweetheart. You might get hurt up here.

You can just follow all the way back.

You can't come straight in.

You can't expect to win them all.

You can't expect to win them all.

You can't take a guess for another two hours?

You could count on a fight breaking out almost every night.

You don't know where that finger's been.

You expect me to believe that?

You got a telegram from headquarters today.

You know I haven't been able to get near a plane since the war.

You know I've never flown a bucket like this!

You know what a landing like this means.

You know, I really couldn't blame Elaine.

You more than anybody.

You must understand, these people had been

You play basketball for the Los Angeles Lakers.

You really have. The best you could.

You relax, and I'll be back right after we take off.

You see, the first officer is ill,

You should be able to see the field, now.

You should be able to see the runway at 300 feet.

You shouldn't have come. I don't have time now.

You want me to have an abortion.

You wouldn't walk in there unless you knew how to use your fists.

You, Neubauer. You, Macias.

You'd better tell the captain, we've got to land as soon as we can.

You'd think after all these years, someone would listen to you.

You'll be great

You'll be swell

You'll have to decide.

You're approaching some rough weather.

You're drifting. Keep your eyes on the far end of the runway.

You're Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

You're the only chance they've got!

You're the only chance we've got.

You're the only one keeping that alive.

You're the only one on this plane who can possibly fly it.

You're too low, damn it!

You're too low, Ted. You're too low.

You've done the best you could.

You've got enough fuel left for two hours of flying.

Your husband and the others are alive, but unconscious.

Your life jackets are located under your seat.

Your war record?

8 miles. Turn right to heading 044.

24.

25.

35,000 feet.

209'er to ground control. We're loaded and ready to taxi.

209'er, taxi to runway 19'er.

520 miles per hour.

675, 650, 625. He's holding.

900 feet up to 1300 feet.

at 36,000 feet this evening. Stewardess?

But, Ted, you're the only... I don't care.

Can you face some unpleasant facts? No.

Captain, how soon can you land? I can't tell.

Could I? Okay. If you don't get in the way.

Could you come take a look at them? Yes. Yes, of course.

Elaine, if you just give me one more... It's too late, Ted.

Elaine! Ted!

Excuse me, Sister. Yes?

From here to the Rockies. Chief?

God, Bill, I'm gonna miss you so much. I'm gonna miss you too.

Good evening. Hi.

Got a cigarette, Nelson? Now, Linda.

He looks so happy today, doesn't he? Okay, I'll be back.

Hello. Hi.

Here you go. We'll be cruising

Hi. Hi.

How about some coffee, Johnny? No, thanks.

How do you do, Roger? Nice to meet you.

How you doing, honey? Jack, I'm so hot, I'm burning up.

Huh? Who?

I speak jive. Oh, good.

I swear to you! So long, darling.

I've got it! Thank you.

Isn't that cute? Your seat cushions are also equipped

Johnny, how about some more coffee. No, thanks.

Mayday! Mayday? What the hell is that for?

Mrs. Oveur? Yes, this is Mrs. Oveur.

No, the white phone. Oh.

Oh, of course. Thank you. Thank you.

Oh, stewardess? Excuse me.

Okay. How's the weather?

Put Striker on the speaker. Okay, use my radio over there.

Request vector. Over. What?

Roger. Huh?

Roger. Huh?

Roger. Over. What?

Sister, please. I'll handle this. Just try and get a hold of yourself.

Smoking or nonsmoking? Smoking, please.

Striker, you all right? Yeah.

Sure is quiet out there. Yeah, too quiet.

Ted! What are you doing here? Elaine, I've got to talk to you.

Tell the captain I must speak to him. Certainly.

Thank you. Hi, how are you tonight?

the head honcho, number... Captain, look at this!

Well, can't you take a guess? Well, not for another two hours.

Well, hi, Joey. Come on up here. You can see better.

What did the navigator have? He had fish.

What is it, Doctor? What's going on? I'm not sure.

Who is it? Name's Ted Striker.

Who wants to be first? Go ahead, Clarence. I got it.

who's ill and, well... Oh, yes, I saw. Poor child.

Would you care to make a donation? No, but thank you, anyway.

Would you like a little whiskey, ma'am? Certainly not.

Would you like something to read? Do you have anything light?

Yes? Oh, it's my stomach.

Yes? Stewardess. My husband's very sick.

You can tell me, I'm a doctor. No, I mean, I'm just not sure.

You do? Asshole!

...around here somewhere.

"Airline negligent."

"And I won't smell too good, that's for sure."

"and the breaks are beating the boys,

"And win just one for the Zipper.

"Captain made the right decision."

"I don't know where I'll be then, Doc," he said.

"I'm glad.

"Passengers certain to die."

"Sometime,

"The odds were against us up there, but we went in anyway.

"when the crew is up against it,

$25 for a cigarette is too much!
