Ted Striker: Mayday! Mayday! 
Steve McCroskey: What the heck is that? 
Johnny: Why, that's the Russian New Year. We can have a parade and serve hot hors d'oeuvres...

Johnny: The tower, the tower! Rapunzel, Rapunzel! 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious. 
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley. 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Steve McCroskey: Johnny, what can you make out of this? 
[Hands him the weather briefing] 
Johnny: This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...

[reading newspaper headlines] 
Rex Kramer: Passengers certain to die! 
Steve McCroskey: Airline negligent. 
Johnny: There's a sale at Penney's!

[an epidemic of food poisoning is sweeping the plane] 
Captain Oveur: What is it, Doctor? What's going on? 
Rumack: I'm not sure. I haven't seen anything like this since the Anita Bryant concert.

Rumack: The survival of everyone on board depends on just one thing: finding someone on board who can not only fly this plane, but who didn't have fish for dinner.
