It’s down.
“My salad’s getting cold.”
You know, for all the times I’ve watched this, that’s the first time I realized how lame of an excuse that was.
“I think I got a chunk of ‘purple mountain’s majesty’ up my ass.” Ouch.
“That chopper’s for us.”
“Hablo el espanol muy bien… dickhead.”
“Mom, the presidents are squishing me.”
The bit with the family is as close to preachy they get in the whole movie.
Phone call
“Did we get collision coverage?”
“Why?”
“Oh, nothing.”
“Is that President Kramer holding a gun on a naked guy in a blindfold?”
Now there’s no way the guard wouldn’t have looked. Hell, back then, it would have been a stretch.
“Remind him that these people are from the Netherlands, not the Nether Regions.”
“It’s a room, it’s green. Any questions?”
“How did a twisted psycho like Tanner end up in the NSA?”
“I know, why isn’t he in the Post Office where he belongs?”
“Who am I, f**king MacGyver? I’m making this up as I go along”
Douglas version of Hail to the Chief is what really put this over the top.
“Hail to the chief, if you don’t I’ll have to kill you.
I am the chief, so you better watch your step you bastards.”
The unfortunate thing is that it probably would take something as screwed up as what happened in this movie to have a 3rd party candidate for president that stood half a chance of winning.
well, goodnight everyone
