• [Bulb on the fuel guage is flashing] 

  Kowalski : Skipper, look.

  Skipper : Analysis

  Kowalski : It looks like a small incandescent bulb, designed to indicate something out of the ordinary, like a malfunction.

  Skipper : I find it pretty and somewhat hypnotic.

  Kowalski : That too, sir.

  Skipper : Right. Rico, maunal!

  [Catches the manual and smashes the bulb with it] 

  Skipper : Problemo solved.

  Kowalski : Sir, we may be out of fuel.

  Skipper : What makes you think that?

  Kowalski : We've lost engine one, and engine two is no longer on fire.

  Skipper : Buckle up, boys. Don't look, doll, this might get hairy.

  [on the microphone] 

  Skipper : This is your captain speaking. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that we will be landing immediately.

  [everyone claps] 

  Skipper : The bad news is, we're crash landing.

  [Plane goes on a dive] 

  Skipper : When it comes to air travel, we know that you have no choice whatsoever, but thanks again for choosing Air Penguin.

• Kowalski : Only two passengers unaccounted for, Skipper.

  Skipper : That's a number I can live with! Good landing, boys! Who says a penguin can't fly?

• Skipper : Operation tourist trap is a go.

  Private : Oh, I like that one, that's a good one.

  Kowalski : It works on many levels, sir.

  Skipper : You guys are a bunch of suck-ups.

  Kowalski : That too, sir.

  Private : Oh, absolutely, sir.

• Kowalski : We've lost engine one... and engine two is no longer on fire

• [Kowalski is showing Skipper the plans to rebuild the plane] 

  Skipper : Looks impressive, Kowalski, but will it fly?

  Kowalski : Yes.

  [He begins folding the plans into an origami plane] 

  Kowalski : If we fold it here, here and here.

  [He hurls the paper plane out onto the plains] 

  Skipper : Nice.

• Kowalski : Skipper, we've all the parts we need but we're slightly behind schedule.

  Skipper : How slightly?

  Kowalski : Six to nine years.

  Skipper : Sixty-nine years?

  Kowalski : No, six *to* nine years.
