Airplane Quotes: Remembering Leslie Nielsen’s Funniest Airplane Moments
Airplane quotes are all around some of the funniest lines ever spoken on film, but this roundup is a fond way to remember Leslie Nielsen, who died yesterday following complications from pneumonia. Nielsen was a beloved father to two girls. Leslie Nielsen played many roles throughout his career, but fans may best remember and love his role as Dr. Rumack in Airplane. Here are Leslie Nielsen Airplane quotes (video below), starting with the classic “surely/Shirley” line: Dr. Rumack: Can you fly this plane, and land it? Rumack: You’d better tell the Captain we’ve got to land as soon as we can. This woman has to be gotten to a hospital. Rumack: Captain, how soon can you land? Rumack: What was it we had for dinner tonight? [after the food poisoning epidemic strikes] Rumack: I won’t deceive you, Mr. Striker. We’re running out of time. Jack: What’s going on? We have a right to know the truth!
Ted Striker: Surely you can’t be serious.
Rumack: I am serious… and don’t call me Shirley.
Elaine Dickinson: A hospital? What is it?
Rumack: It’s a big building with patients, but that’s not important right now.
Captain Oveur: I can’t tell.
Rumack: You can tell me. I’m a doctor.
Captain Oveur: No. I mean I’m just not sure.
Rumack: Well, can’t you take a guess?
Captain Oveur: Well, not for another two hours.
Rumack: You can’t take a guess for another two hours?
Elaine Dickinson: Well, we had a choice of steak or fish.
Rumack: Yes, yes, I remember, I had lasagna.
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.
Ted Striker: Surely there must be something you can do.
Rumack: I’m doing everything I can… and stop calling me Shirley!
Rumack: [to the passengers] All right, I’m going to level with you all. But what’s most important now is that you remain calm. There is no reason to panic.
[Rumack's nose grows]
Rumack: Now, it is true that one of the crew members is ill… slightly ill.
[Rumack's nose grows again, like Pinocchio]
Rumack: But the other two pilots… they’re just fine. They’re at the controls flying the plane… free to pursue a life of religious fulfillment.
