Great lines from the film

(After asking Tank to join the space mission)
Tank: I'm gonna need to pray about this.
Frank: Well, could it be a quick prayer?
Jerry: What did you have for breakfast, Frank?
Frank: Let's see, I had vegetarian huevos rancheros, egg whites only, of course, and some sort of a filtered decaf cappuccino that tasted like it was filtered through a jockstrap.
(After Jerry puts on a pair of glasses)
Frank: You don't need those, do ya?

(Aboard the Space Shuttle, just before take-off)

Tank: Thank you, God!
(Jerry's dentures won't stay in his mouth correctly)
Jerry: Damn teeth won't stay in.
Frank:(disgusted) Damn, Jerry.
*I'll roll you up like a Philly blunt and smoke your bitch ass! *
I liked the whole exchange with the line:
"Asymmetrical sagging ass"
"Bring your guitar...and the thing that makes it go 'wah...wah wah wah wah wah.'"
I like the entire exchange.

Frank: "Damn, Jerry"

Hawk:
"Houston, Horizon"

"Go ahead, Horizon...."
Hawk:
"Request secondary landing"
pause
"HOUSTON, Horizon; request on board computer FAILURE on second landing.

It occurs to me that all these guys on this board complaining about how "unrealistic" it is a younger woman could be interested in these "old geezers" are the same guys who desperately need to take some lessons from men like this in good old fashioned charm.
....you said it!! these guys are tough, but they have manners and know how to treat a lady properly, even Jerry with his one track mind! (BTW, i LOVE Hawk! he is the most fun of the foursome!^_^)

(Upon approaching Ikon)
Hawk: Yeah, I can get us in there. I'm just worried about the mass.
Frank:I'm just worried about this thing getting pissed again.
