If somebody here who speaks Jive could post the entire conversation, I’d be eternally grateful. You know, the one that ends (approximately/phonetically) with “…lay ‘em down an’ smack em yack em.” “Gots ta be”.
(The best man at my wedding suggested that I answer the question “do you take this woman…” with “Gots ta be!”. Uh…no.)
Airplane
Rex Kramer (which would be my SDMB user name if I had it to do over again) dramatically removing his sunglasses, revealing another pair underneath.
Any establishing shot of the exterior of the jet plane had an accompanying prop plane sound effect.
“My mama didn’t raise no dummies, I dug her rap!”
And am I the only one who thinks of Airplane first before Saturday Night Fever when Stayin’ Alive plays on the radio somewhere?
Hot Shots:
“We should arrive at 0500.”
“Great, wake me up at about…ohhhh…four thirty.”
Top Secret
[on the phone]“Yes? Yes? I see. Inform me if there is any change in his condition.” [hangs up] “He’s dead.”
And the greatest scene, the Swedish bookstore with Grand Moff Tarkin himself (shown the way it was actually filmed on the DVD)
I loved the way they would freeze-frame at the end of each episode of Police Squad… except they weren’t actually freeze-framing, the actors were all just freezing in place. In one episode, they froze while leading a prisoner off to jail. So, while they were all frozen, he escaped. Classic.
Elf6c – extremely cool. Wheredja get your dialog? Looks “official”. However, I’d like to see the first conversation between the two Jive Dudes – the one that was “translated” as “early to bed early to rise…”
(And of course we all recognize “White Haired Grandmother” as Beaver’s Mom, Barbara Billingsley.)
Joey…do you like movies about gladiators? Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
Michelle Rodham Huddleson: Now we have to go in to get the men who went in to get the men who went in to get the men.
Michelle Rodham Huddleston: Oh, Ramada, how could you have been so blind? You were too wrapped up in being Miss Perfect College to notice me. Why concern yourself with the feelings of one insignificant roommate? One fabulous day, one incredible experience. Ramada Rodham Hayman: I had no idea it meant so much to you. Michelle Rodham Huddleston: I remember that day as if it were yesterday. The exhilaration of experimenting sharing something so new, so dangerous, so intimate. And I’ll never forget the look on your face. The way the sweat glistened on your hard body. Then you tied my ankles. Tighter. Tighter. But it just wasn’t right. It wasn’t natural. Bungee-jumping is just too dangerous a sport.
**Nigel: **The pirates took advantage of me in unspeakable ways. Hillary: That must have been awful! Nigel smiles wistfully
Little Boy: Would you care for some coffee? Little Girl: Yes, please. Little Boy: How do you take it? Little Girl: Black. . . like my men.
“I’ve got to concentrate…concentrate…centrate…”
“Hello? … ello…llo? Echo…echo…cho”
“Now batting for Pedro Borbon…Manny Mota”
By the way: if you ever get a chance to see Zero Hour (it was on TCM recently) do so. It’s a mind-blower. I knew that Airplane was inspired by Zero Hour, but it’s more than that: Airplane is virtually a shot-for-shot, line-for-line(without the funny lines) remake. Even the sames sets & costumes.
