Comforting thoughts as I look to fly to Italy next week...
[Tony is riding in a plane at night in a storm]
Tony Giardino: Hey listen. How long is it gonna take us to get there?
Pilot: Shouldn't take very long. [pause]
Pilot: Actually I have no concept of time.
Tony Giardino: Geez, is this dangerous?
Pilot: No. Well, you know there's chance in everything.
Tony Giardino: Look I don't wanna get too personal or anything but you've done this before, right?
Pilot: Oh yeah, yeah. I do this all the time. [pause]
Pilot: I've never done it at night.
Tony Giardino: How the hell do you even know if you're going in the right direction?
Pilot: Instruments, instruments!
Tony Giardino: Oh yeah? Yeah? What's that? [points to an instrument]
Pilot: That's the artificial horizon, which is better than the actual horizon.
Tony Giardino: [the pilot is asleep] What are you doing? Wake up!
Pilot: Ooooh man! I was having an amazing dream!
Tony Giardino: I don't care about your dream! Land the plane!
Pilot: I was just born, and... I was eight-and-a-half months premature. The doctors were freakin' out.
Tony Giardino: Oh please, shut up!
Pilot: Did I already tell you this dream?
Any guesses (without cheating) on the name of the film(muy facil), and the name of the comedian who played the pilot(un poquito dificil)? Me thinks that while we're quoting movie lines about aeroplanes, we might as well throw in some Airplane! quotes too...
[as the plane prepares to take off]
Hanging Lady: Nervous?
Ted Striker: Yes.
Hanging Lady: First time?
Ted Striker: No, I've been nervous lots of times.
Elaine Dickinson: There's no reason to become alarmed, and we hope you'll enjoy the rest of your flight. By the way, is there anyone on board who knows how to fly a plane?
Rex Kramer: Striker, listen, and you listen close: flying a plane is no different than riding a bicycle, just a lot harder to put baseball cards in the spokes.
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.
So that happened...

Hehe...so appropriate that you write your first blog in movie-ese!! While you're learning Italian, I'm gonna have to brush up on my movie-ese vocab...maybe do some flash cards. Sweet, I love flash cards.
Wish I had a guess for the quote...welp, sure don't.
Welcome to the blogging world, anywho:)
