    'Airplane!' 30th Anniversary: Pick Your Favorite Quote!

    It's the 30th anniversary of the comedy classic "Airplane!". So why not spend the holiday weekend celebrating the quotable lines that influenced generations of comedies and filmmakers. We admit it -- there are plenty of great lines that didn't make the cut. But the overabundance of amazing lines actually overloaded my brain and knocked me out. Hell, when I came to, I thought I was Ethel Merman

    Looks Like I picked the wrong week to quit amphetamines!
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Reporter: What kind of plane is it?
    Johnny: Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

    "No, thank you, I take it black, like my men."
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    "By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?"

    Its hard to pick just one. What an awesome movie... But if one just stands out it has to be Johnny's Tylenol quote.

    Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains in the windows and wheels and it looks like a big Tylenol.

    My favorite is not exactly a quote. Whenever they had the exterior shot of the "cheesy" 707 model, it sounded an awful lot like a DC-6.

    "The cockpit? What is it?"

    "It's the little room up front where the pilots sit. But that's not important right now."

    I use the "a xxxx, what is it?" answer when ever it makes it self available.
