    George Kellerman: Yes, what seems to be the problem now? Airline Stewardess: Well, I imagine that we've run into some bad weather. George Kellerman: You don't have to imagine just look out the window!

    albeit having some funny moments the film was just moan moan moan moan and frankly i get enough of that shit from the older folks where i work. last thing i wanna do is sit down for 2 hours and hear some couple complain constantly. jack lemmon couldn't save this.. and he only knows why he decided it would be a good idea to act in this film with this script that can only have been written with the sole idea of pissing people off

    Sort of like After Hours, but less spooky.
