A Favorite Movie Scene

[3WE]

Mel Bakersfeld: Joe, this is Mel. There's no more time. Stop all engines and get out. Repeat. Stop all engines.

Cockpit qualified young man: Mr. Patroni, she won't take much more.

Joe Patroni: Well anyway, she's gonna get it.

Mel Bakersfeld: Joe, the plows are moving. Shut down and hold on! Joe Patroni! Do you read me? Acknowledge!

Mel Bakersfeld: Joe! Shut down!

Cockpit qualified young man: Mr. Patroni? Don't you hear him? Shut down.

Joe Patroni: I can't hear a thing. There's too much noise. Hold on. We're GOIN FOR BROKE!

Cockpit qualified young man: [after the plane gets out of the ditch] The instruction book said that was impossible.

Joe Patroni:
That's one nice thing about the 707. It can do everything BUT read.
[throws his chewed and soggy cigar over his shoulder]

And this one!

Joe Patroni:
You chickened out on me! I told you I wanted all the power you got!
Capt. Benson: Full throttle and this plane would be standing on its nose.

Joe Patroni: You might fly these things but I take them apart and put them back together again. If you had any guts we'd be on the runway by now.

Capt. Benson: You felt it vibrating? Another 10 seconds and we'd have had structural damage.

Joe Patroni: Who do ya think you're talking to, some kid that fixes bicycles? I know every inch of the 707! Take the wings off this and you could use it as a TANK! This plane is built to withstand anything... except a bad pilot.

Capt. Benson: You might tell your mechanic that I've got three million miles in the air.

Joe Patroni: And two and a half feet into the ground

Why do I see someone with their nose in the QRH and another cowboy saving the day?
