Famous Quotes
Dr. Rumack -- Airplane
- Rumack: You'd better thell the Captain we've go to land as soon as we can. This patient has to be gotten to hospital.
- Elaine: A hospital? What is it?
- Rumack: It's a big building with paitients, but that's not important right now.
- Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
- Rumack: I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.
- Rumack: (talking about George Zip) Yes, he looked at me and said, "Doc," he said. "Some time, when the crew is up against it,
and the breaks are beating the boys, tell 'em to get out there and give it all they've got. And win just one for the Zipper. I don't know where I'll be then
Doc, he said...but I won't smell too good, that's for sure"
- Rumack: Cpt...how soon can you land?
- >Oveur: I can't tell.
- >Rumack: You can tell me, I'm a doctor.
- Oveur: No. I mean, I'm just not sure.
- Rumack: Well, can't you take a guess.
- Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
- Rumack: You can't take a guess for another two hours?
- Rumack: What was it we had for dinner tonight?
- Elaine Dickinson: Well, we had a choice: steak or fish.
- Rumack: Yes. Yes, I remember. I had lasagna.
As Lt. Frank Drebin
- Frank Drebin: It's true what they say: Cops and women don't mix. It's like eating a
spoonful of Drano, sure it'll clean you out, but it'll leave you hollow inside.
- Jane Spencer: I've heard police work is dangerous.
- Frank Drebin: It is. That's why I carry a big gun.
- Jane Spencer: Aren't you afraid it might go off accidentally?
- Frank Drebin: I used to have that problem.
- Jane Spencer: What did you do about it?
- Frank Drebin: I just think about baseball.
- Drebin: Just think, next time I shoot someone, I could be arrested.
- Ed: Frank, when Nordberg said, "I love you", he was talking about the boat
- Frank: I realize that, ..........now.
- Frank Drebin: When I see five weirdos stabbing a guy in broad daylight, I shoot the
bastards. That's my policy.
- Mayor: That was a Shakespeare In The Park production, you moron! You killed five actors!
Good ones!
- Ed: A hunch won't stand up in court, Frank. Going into Ludwig's office without a warrant,
you're taking a big chance.
- Frank: I know. You take a chance getting up in the morning, crossing the street or sticking
your face in a fan.
- Frank Drebin: Jane, since I've met you I've noticed things that I never knew were there
before; birds singing, dew glistening on a newly formed leaf, stoplights.
- Frank Drebin: Wilma, I promise you; whatever scum did this, not one man on this force will
rest one minute before until he's behind bars. Now, let's grab a bite to eat.
- Frank Drebin: Interesting... Almost as interesting as the photographs I saw today.
- Jane Spencer: I was young. I needed the work.
- [Jane climbs a ladder.]
- Frank Drebin: Saayyy, nice beaver.
- >Jane Spencer, producing a stuffed beaver: Thanks. I just had it stuffed.
- Jane Spencer: I wanted you to know, now, I've loved you since the first day I met you, and
I'll never stop. I'm a very lucky woman.
- Frank Drebin: So am I...
- [Frank meets Jane after a long time.]
- Lt. Frank Drebin: How are the children?
- Jane Spencer: We didn't have any children.
- Lt. Frank Drebin: Yes, of course.
- Lt. Frank Drebin: Now, Jane, what can you tell us about the man you saw last night?
- Jane Spencer: He's Caucasian.
- >Ed Hocken: Caucasian?
- Jane Spencer: Yeah, you know, a white guy. A mustache. About five-foot-ten.
- Lt. Frank Drebin: That's an awfully big mustache.
- [Lt. Frank Drebin making a speech at the White House]
- Lt. Frank Drebin: ...blowing away a fleeing suspect with my 44 magnum used to mean
everything to me, I enjoyed it, well who wouldn't?
- Busty Female Shop Assistant: Is this some kind of bust?
- Frank Drebin: It's very impressive, yes.
- [Frank Drebin and Ed Hocken try to analyze a case]
- Frank Drebin: Why would anyone do this?
- Ed Hocken: Sex, Frank?
- Frank Drebin: No, thanks, not now...
- [Frank Drebin is stopped at the entrance of the Award Ceremony place]
- Frank Drebin: Sergeant Frank Drebin, Detective Lieutenant, Police Squad.
- Guard: Yeah, and I'm Robert De Niro.
- Frank Drebin: Mr. De Niro, we got to get inside.
- Frank Drebin: Like a midget at a urinal, I was going to have to stay on my toes.
- Frank Drebin: Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through.
- Tanya: You're all man. I like that in my men.
- Frank Drebin: You're coming on to me big time, sister. You're preying on me like a kitten
with a fresh mouse. And we got a problem.
- Tanya: You're Jewish?
- Frank Drebin: No. You're Rocko's girl, and in my book that chapter's called "look but don't
touch."
- Tanya: I could have two lovers.
- Frank Drebin: Kinky. But I like my sex the way I play basketball, one on one with as little
dribbling as possible.
Leslie Nielsen is the first ever person elected to the Cohort Hall of Fame. In high school, the Cohorts
passed around a petition to the whole high school to send to NBC to get Nielsen on Saturday NIght Live...little
did the Cohorts know, Nielsen hosted the show in 1978. However, Nielsen has made some really bad movies, (i.e. Repossessed, the new Love Boat
Movie coming out, and even a few episodes of "Father Dowling Mysteries"), but his Naked Gun movies and show-stealing performance in
Airplane will always make him a Cohort favorite.
