Patroni - "I can't hear anything, WE'RE GOING FOR BROKE!"
I love George Kennedy
No no, it's " I can't hear a thing, there's too much noise. Hold on, we're goin' for broke! " :)
That's a favorite line of mine as well!
"Cristal,Beluga,Wolfgang Puck...It's a f*#% house."

I found the clip
"The 707 can take anything. Except a bad pilot!"
shareMy favorite line?
"You boys go to school around here?"
my favorite line, and the one you least want to hear...
"he was a demolitions expert".
You can't rattle Burt Lancaster!
You always hear that in 60's and 70's movies: like it was a job title. I always expected to see someone like Robert Deniro sitting at a desk with a placard that reads: "Travis Bickle-Demolitions Expert".
share"I'm sorry I think that's my coat." "I'm sorry too"
shareThe line of malarkey that Martin gives to the know-it-all kid. To "explain" the plane turning around.
shareFavorite line?
This is a no brainer.
The whole movie Jean Seberg looks like she wants to jump on Burt Lancaster.
Finally at the end in the very last scene, he suggests they go to her apartment
to sample some of her scrambled eggs she's been bragging about.
Oh yeah? Who wouldn't?
Is that what they're calling it now? LOL
Who says they couldn't get away with anything forty years ago?
Absolutely!
shareYes! My fav was when they were about to land and the one guy yells, "we're gonna crash, we're all gonna die!" and the priest across from him makes the sign of the cross and when he is on the word "spirit", he smacks the guy across the face to shut him up! Very funny!
shareI said in a previous post today that I got such a surprise laugh out of that moment, the cat jumped off the couch in shock. I rewound it, too, for the fun of watching it again.
As to favorite lines, mine always was (paraphrasing): "My husband was a teacher of geometry, and he always said to examine every angle."
Yeah, that was great! And also when the pilot spoke gibberish to the brainy kid about turning the plane around....and the kids acted as he knew what he meant! So good!!!! There were lots of very funny parts in this type of movie. I like that.
shareMy favorite for some reason has always been "You're gonna have a broken airplane and a lot of dead people."
Obviously not a laugh line, but a great "let's cut the crap" line.
I saw this when it first came out in 1970. The interior of the theater had been decorated to look like an airport terminal and women dressed as stewardesses rolled beverage carts through the aisles before the show, just like on an airplane.
The big laugh line then, as I recall, was:
Right seat pilot: "The instruction book said that was impossible."
Joe Patroni: "That's one nice thing about the 707. It can do everything but read."
