FLEMNER AIR FORCE BASE
20 years ago
-
Look out!
-
He singed my tail feathers.
-
All right, Buzz. That's enough of that.
-
What did I just say?
-
That is a good way to lose an eye, my friend.
-
Hold it. We've got company at two o'clock.
-
I got him, Mailman. Hang on.
-
Here we go.
-
- Buzz, what is goin' on up there?
- Just movin' a road hog.
-
- Knock it off! What kind of stunt was that?
- Just seein' what this baby can do.
-
This bag of bones isn't rated past Mach two.
-
- Mach one.
- The G-forces, Buzz! The G-forces!
-
Mach two. Gotta push the envelope.
-
Mach three!
-
Buzz! We're tearing apart!
-
I'm losin' control.
Eject, Mailman. Hit the silk!
-
- I can't get out!
- What are you doing?
-
Buzz! Get back here!
-
OK. I've been in tougher scrapes than this.
-
There's the ground. It looks hard. OK, trees.
-
No! Oh. Mahogany. Ow!
-
Squirrel's nest. Bird. Ow! Pine.
-
Ow! Oh, the ground.
-
I made it.
-
I made it! There is a God.
-
Hallelujah!
-
You're French, aren't you?
-
Yeah, just like that.
-
Hey, look! There's one!
-
Present Day
-
Topper Harley?
-
Once, perhaps.
-
Now I am called Tukachinchilla.
-
- What does it mean?
- Fluffy Bunny Feet.
-
It's very nice.
-
I'm Lieutenant Commander James Block.
-
I knew your father Buzz.
-
Until his incident, he was
the greatest pilot who ever lived.
-
We need to talk.
-
The Navy wants...
-
The Navy wants you back, Harley.
-
They threw me out. Why should I go back?
-
I came here to get away from the Navy.
Away from flying.
-
The Navy has a top-secret mission:
Sleepy Weasel.
-
I'm giving you a second chance,
which your father never had.
-
You're the best of the best, Topper.
-
Leave me to speak with the old one.
He is wise in the ways of such things.
-
The Navy really needs you.
-
Great helium.
-
Owatonna.
-
Owatonna!
-
What is it, Fluffy?
-
They want me to fly in a great battle.
What should I do?
-
We knew this day would come.
-
Dances With Bikers got this for you.
-
Cool.
-
While you're out,
pick up some AA batteries.

-
Wow!
-
Ten... hut!
-
Admiral. Good to see you again, sir.
-
- It's been too long.
- And so it has. Yes, yes.
-
- How are ya, sir?
- Hawaii?
-
- Goddamn it, Bill, I should be in California.
- No, sir, this is California.
-
- Well, gotta run. Good luck.
- But, sir, this is your command.
-
Sleepy Weasel has been planned for
ten months. The president handpicked you.
-
Damn right he did.
No stoppin' us now, huh, Ted?
-
- I'll show you your offices and brief you.
- You're a fine soldier, Scott. Lead the way.
-
Oh, good God. I gotta pee.
-
I had part of my bladder
blown off at Guadalcanal.
-
Watch your step.
There's a lot of obstructions here.
-
- I had a little dreidel!
- I made it out of clay!
-
- And when it's dry and ready...
- My dreidel I will play!
-
- Here's the story...
- Of a lovely lady!
-
- Who was bringing up...
- Three very lovely girls!
-
- All of them had hair of gold!
- Like their mother!
-
- The youngest one...
- In curls!
-
- Here's the story...
- Of a man named Brady!
-
Gentlemen, he's back.
-
How ya been?
-
- Yeah, it's the big guy.
- Good to see ya.
-
- Scooter! How you doin'?
- Topper. The main man.
-
- Rabbi! *Mazel tov. *
- You should live and be well!
-
Hey, buddy.
-
Are you OK?
-
You don't look so hot. You need some help?
-
I'm OK.
-
You're Topper Harley, aren't you?
-
I hear you've got chops we only dream of.
Throwin' you out was a bum rap.
-
I'm Jim Pfaffenbach.
Everybody calls me Wash Out.
-
- You're a pilot?
- Oh, yeah. I'm gonna be flyin' with ya.
-
Good.
-
Cute.
-
I like to stay in shape. Thanks.
-
- Are these all at home?
- Yeah.
-
The dogs, wife and kids.
-
You got pictures of your family,
I'd love to see 'em.
-
- I am my family photo.
- But everybody needs a family to love.
-
I could never find time for love. It's
too heavy. It's an anchor that drowns a man.
-
Besides, I got the sky,
the smell of jet exhaust, my bike.
-
- A loner?
- No. I own it.
-
I can see I'm gonna have to work on you.
-
Name's Pete Thompson. But...
-
everybody calls me Dead Meat.
-
- Topper Harley.
- Just a pleasure.
-
Attention on deck!
-
Good morning, sir!
-
I don't care
how many missions you've flown!
-
I don't care how good you think you are!
You're nobody!
-
And for the next ten days,
nobody takes a crap unless I say so!
-
- Got it?
- Yes, sir!
-
I said "Attention. "
-
Now, didn't I make myself clear?
Or don't you take orders?
-
- When I say "Attention", I mean "Attention"!
- Yes, sir!
-
Now!
-
- You eyeballin' me, mister?
- No, sir!
-
The next time I see that ugly face of yours,
I want it clean-shaven! Suck in that chest!
-
Pfaffenbach!
-
- What you lookin' at, boy?
- Nothin', sir!
-
Oh, I'm some lowlife that's
not good enough for you to talk to?
-
Well, that attitude is short on collateral!
I'm God as far as you're concerned!
-
Hey, hey. Lighten up.
-
Cut the kid some slack.
-
Who the hell are you talkin' to, son?
-
Your ego's writin' checks
your body can't cash.
-
Now you got five minutes to stow your gear.
-
Get movin'!
-
Yeah, I'm sure deep down he means well.
-
I hope you were paying attention.
-
- I don't think we've met.
- Kent Gregory.
-
Excuse me if I don't shake your hand.
-
Your father killed someone very special
to me: Dominic "Mailman" Farnham.
-
- You mean...
- Yes.
-
Dominic Farnham was my father.
I was his love child.
-
- It was a hunting accident.
- Accident, my deep-blue eyes.
-
It was reckless, irresponsible flying,
and you know it.
-
Are you OK?
-
This is an incredible coincidence,
-
but the hunter who mistakenly
killed your father...
-
was Henry Pfaffenbach, my father.
-
I feel terrible.
-
Isn't this Henry Alva Pfaffenbach?
-
My mother was a Pfaffenbach.
-
Not... Doreen Pfaffenbach?
-
- From Minnesota?
- Yeah.
-
Then we're cousins. We used to
spend our summers in Eagle River.
-
Eagle River?
-
I hope you can forgive me for this.
-
If it helps, I didn't have seconds.
-
That's all right. It's not your fault.
Anyone could have made that mistake.
-
But him, he's the type that could
end up killing every man in this outfit.
-
Wait a minute. Why are you mad at me?
He's the one who ate your father.
-
Like father, like son.
You've already been tossed out once.
-
Hold it, hold it.
-
We can't fight among ourselves.
We're all on the same team here.
-
I want the two of you to shake hands.
-
There, now. Isn't that better?
-
- Yeah.
- Sure.
-
There. We're friends again.
-
Here. Have some of my lucky gum.
-
Look, Dead Meat. We fly together,
we sleep next to each other, but that's all.
-
Don't get too close.
Let me handle my own affairs.
-
He's so complex.
-
Every aerial photo and recon report
indicate a defensive arsenal
-
in the D, and perhaps -C, categories.
-
There's also some antiaircraft squadrons.
-
They can send up an ack-ack umbrella
high enough to make any attack ineffective.
-
I don't have a clue
what you're talkin' about, Phil.
-
I have a shell the size of a fist in my head.
Pork Chop Hill.
-
The only way I can make this toup stay on
-
is by magnetizing the upper left
quadrant of my skull.
-
You just go ahead and do what you do.
Do you have any soup?
-
Of course, sir. I'll have the mess
bring something right up.
-
I love soup. I mean, I think I love soup.
-
Son-of-a-bitchin' shell. It's either
soup or duck. Which one do you shoot?
-
Duck, sir.
-
- Are you all right, sir?
- Of course I'm all right.
-
Why? What have you heard?
-
Nothing, sir.
-
Send some soup up for the admiral,
on the double.
-
Let's go over this Slippery Weevil
one more time.
-
I wanna familiarize myself with it as much
as I possibly can. So, give it to me, Ben.
-
Every word. Every detail.
-
Dot every comma.
-
Those are some long legs.
-
I just had them lengthened.
Now they go all the way up.
-
Wow.
-
It's nice to see you again. I was really
impressed, the way you handled that stallion.
-
When I saw you dig your heels into his sides,
tighten the reins and break his spirit,
-
I never wanted to be a horse
so much in my life.
-
After I finish off this shrink,
we can take a quick canter in the meadow.
-
Lieutenant, I am the shrink.
-
- You're the psychiatrist?
- That's what the diploma says.
-
I've never been to a psychiatrist before.
You will be gentle?
-
I've been ordered to review your records.
-
You were discharged from the service
18 months ago for willful insubordination.
-
You disobeyed a direct order
and lost a $13m fighter in the process.
-
Yes, I did. But I'm payin' it off
at ten bucks a week.
-
I should have gotten
that extra collision coverage.
-
Wasn't your father involved
in a similar incident?
-
- What do you mean?
- Leland "Buzz" Harley.
-
Three Purple Hearts,
presidential commendation.
-
Then this incident -
the Dominic Farnham death.
-
1971, his Visa card was canceled.
-
1975, a broken man, suffocated while working
the night shift in a Fotomat booth.
-
Tell me how these events affected you.
-
Well, I don't think about it much.
-
That was a long time ago. Now if you'll
excuse me, I have some guns to grease.
-
Lieutenant,
-
have you thought about
seeing a psychiatrist on a regular basis?
-
I thought you'd never ask.
-
I mean professionally.
-
Thanks, Doctor.
-
Thanks for the advice.
-
- Be careful out there.
- I can take care of myself.
-
- No. You're going to get hurt.
- I don't need your help, or anybody's.
-
I'll be just fine.
-
Are you OK?
-
Yeah. I'm fine.
-
Attention on deck.
-
At ease, men.
-
Be seated.
-
Many of you are wondering about my pants.
Well, they ran short of material at the knees.
-
So don't give me any shit.
-
Now, I look out there
at all of you guys and I say to myself:
-
What I wouldn't give
to be 20 years younger,
-
and a woman.
-
You know, I've flown over 194 missions,
and I was shot down on every one.
-
Come to think of it, I've never
landed a plane in my life. Now,
-
*you men'll be piloting the backbone*
*of our proud American arsenal:*
-
*The Oscar EW5894 Phallus*
*tactical fighter bomber. *
-
*Its lightweight sweptwing design*
*makes it extremely maneuverable and agile. *
-
*Beneath its 21st-century skin is a highly*
*advanced avionics and weapons package. *
-
*Designed for speed and combat acrobatics,*
-
*it features the latest Mrs. Halver*
*series 3800 radar-jamming Framus. *
-
- Admiral.
- Nurse.
-
*Sleepy Weasel's success depends on our*
*ability to maneuver below enemy radar. *
-
I wanna see a major display of low-level
flying. Topper, Kent, you're up first.
-
- Show me what you can do.
- Copy that, Purple Fluffer Nutter.
-
Roger that, Milli Vanilli Chilly Willy.
-
Bring 'em down, boys. I want your bellies to
scrape the sagebrush. Let's see who's best.
-
I'm heading for the canyon floor.
-
- For your information, I'm at 150 feet.
- I'm at 3rd and Main.
-
Very pretty, but enough hotdogging, Harley.
-
Just checkin' the traffic.
-
- How'd I do, big fella?
- Don't get me started, Harley.
-
Cut the chatter. Topper,
that was vintage Buzz Harley.
-
You and your dad are two of a kind.
-
*Your ego's writin' checks*
*your body can't cash. *
-
Topper! Get back in formation.
-
*Topper, you weren't clear to detach. *
-
- What was that all about?
- I... thought I saw Elvis.
-
Let it go, Topper.
The King is gone. Let's head for home.
-
Not again.
-
I need a landing clearance
for runway 30... 30 something.
-
*30 thirty somethings been canceled. *
*Go to runway 2-niner. *
-
*Wash Out, what the hell*
*are you doin'? Pull it up. *
-
*Wash Out, where the hell are you?*
*What is your location? You're off of radar. *
-
- *Repeat: What is your location?*
- # *It's not unusual to be loved by anyone*
-
- Goin' up?
- Yes.
-
Can I press your button?
-
No, you've been slavin' over hot psychotics
all day. Let me get that.
-
- Interesting perfume.
- It's Vicks. I have a cold.
-
Lieutenant, you're staring.
-
No, not really. I'm lost in your eyes.
-
That is the whitest white part of the eye
I've ever seen. Do you floss?
-
You're very confident, aren't you?
-
When you have 10,000 pounds of thrust
at your command, you have to be.
-
Lieutenant, please.
I'm talking to you as a psychiatrist.
-
I'm recommending that you be grounded.
-
- You've got to be joking.
- If I were joking, I'd have said
-
"What do you do with an elephant
with three balls?"
-
"You walk him and pitch to the rhino. "
-
- You are serious.
- It's the best thing for you, and the mission.
-
The best would be
if you'd stop tryin' to run my life.
-
I'm a pilot, and nobody's gonna
keep me out of the sky.
-
Ladies and gentlemen!
Twelve rounds of boxing

please welcome His Holiness,

Pope John Paul II!
-
Second!
-
Lieutenant Commander Block.
We meet at last.
-
- Isn't this place a little public?
- No, a crowd offers remarkable anonymity.
-
How are we doing at Dudley?
-
Oh, we're right on schedule.
-
Can't quite get a reading on Admiral Benson,
but Topper Harley's playing into our hands.
-
Here's his evaluation. A clear-cut case
of Paternal Conflict Syndrome.
-
Ah, yes. PCS.
-
I saw an *Afterschool Special* on that.
They're years away from a vaccine.
-
Every time I mention Buzz's name,
Topper goes off.
-
There's no way the unit will function,
and I'll abort the mission.
-
The Navy's planes will seem inferior and
the president will beg for my superfighter.
-
And, best of all, nobody gets hurt.
-
Well done, Lieutenant Commander.
-
America can't afford to fall behind,
Mr. Wilson. We need your plane.
-
This should be a good match.
Both men work for Don King.
-
Well, fans, that's it.
Good night. I'm outta here!
-
The Strafing Run proudly presents

Ramada?

- Kent!
- Ramada!
-
*Qu'est-ce que je suis contente de te revoir!*
-
My eyes!
-
Darling, I thought you were still in Brussels.
-
Oh, Kent. We were only hurting each other.
-
I thought that's the way you wanted it.
-
Something's changed. It's not another
woman, is it? I couldn't compete with that.
-
No, of course you couldn't.
-
Well, what matters is that you're here.
We've a lot of catching up to do.
-
Wonderful. Just let me
take care of something.
-
- Don't be long, *mon amour. *
- *Absolument. *
-
# Some day he'll come along
-
# The man I love

# And he'll be big and strong
-
# The man I love
-
# And when he comes my way
-
# I'll do my best
-
# To make... him... stay
-
# He'll look at me and smile
-
# I'll understand
-
# And in a little while
-
# He'll take my hand
-
# And though it seems absurd
-
# I know we both... won't say... a... word
-
Wow!
-
Anybody here from out of town?
-
Welcome. Nice to see you.
-
# Maybe I shall meet him someday
-
# Maybe Monday
-
# Maybe not
-
# Still I'm sure to meet him one day
-
# Maybe Tuesday
-
# Will be my good-news day
-
# We'll build a little home

# Just meant for two
-
# From which I'll never roam

# Who would? Would you?

# He'll be big and strong

# I'll do my best to make him stay

# And so all else above

# I'm dreamin' of
-
# The man I love
-
- Ramada...
- Oh, no.
-
Well, if it isn't God's gift to the cockpit.
-
- Kent, your nostrils are flaring.
- That flying stunt today was pure madness.
-
If a lady wasn't present,
I'd tear you apart like a Christmas goose.
-
Yeah? Keep it up, you'll be carrying
your face home in a doggy bag.
-
What is this macho thing?
-
- He started it.
- Did not.
-
- Did too.
- Did not.
-
- You're behaving like children.
- He's a jerk.
-
- Am not.
- Are too.
-
- Am not.
- Are too too too...
-
- Not not not...
- too too too...
-
Are too times ten.
-
- That's it.
- Stop it.
-
- Rumble!
- Don't push me.
-
Stop it! Can't you act
like civilized human beings?
-
- Hey, I'm sorry.
- I love you, pal.
-
Listen. Kent and I have to talk, so please...
-
Be my guest.
-
Let's celebrate, honey.
-
Hey, everybody. Drinks are on me.
-
- Free beer!
- I want a gin sling!
-
You haven't forgotten my offer, have you?
-
Little house in the country,
white picket fence, StairMaster.
-
Kent, you're everything
a woman could possibly want.
-
But I'm just not ready for marriage. Not yet.
-
Well, I have to get back to the base.
Tomorrow's an important flight.
-
You know how puffy my eyes get
when I don't get enough rest.
-
Good night.
-
May I?
-
- Shouldn't you be getting back to the base?
- I suppose,
-
if I played life by the rules,
but you know I don't.
-
All right. You can walk me to my apartment.
-
I shouldn't have gotten mad
in the elevator today.
-
But when I want something that bad,
I get all fired up.
-
Maybe that's why I worry so.
Maybe more than I should.
-
Something terrible could happen. You must...
-
- But I...
- Don't worry.
-
Everything will be fine. I promise.
-
Boy, I hope so.
-
Well, this is it.
-
- It's a nice place.
- It's OK.
-
The only problem is I have a nosy landlady.
-
Well, I guess this is good night.
-
I don't wanna go back.
-
You don't have to.
-
I don't want to be alone.
-
And, by the way,
I can go all night like a lumberjack.
-
What about your landlady?
-
You can do her, too.
-
So, I take it you've been with a man before.
-
I'm a virgin.
-
I'm just not very good at it.
-
Yes. Oh, yes!
-
Topper!
-
Wash Out!
-
Get into your flight suit.
We're ready to go up.
-
I got kicked out. My flight status
has been withdrawn. I'm through, Dead Meat.
-
- What happened?
- It's my eyes. I've got walleye vision.
-
- Can't something be done?
- A delicate corneal inversion procedure.
-
A multioptipupiloptomy.
-
But, to keep from damaging the eye sockets,
they've gotta go in through the rectum.
-
Ain't no man gonna take that route with me.
-
Is Topper around? I'd like to say goodbye.
-
He didn't come back last night. He's AWOL.
As soon as Block finds out, he's history.
-
But flying's his life. He's the best pilot in the
world. We need him as much as he needs us.
-
I can't find my lucky gum. Do you have...
-
Wash Out?
-
Oh, my God. I missed my flight.
-
You're amazing.
-
Dead Meat!
-
Mary!
-
- Come to watch me fly?
- No. There was a meltdown at the plant.
-
- They gave me afternoon off.
- Terrific!
-
Oh! Good news. We just closed escrow
on our little dream house.
-
- Wonderful! When do we move in?
- Tuesday.
-
The kids are stripping
the asbestos off the pipes now.
-
That's great! Things couldn't be better for us.
-
I'm so blessed.
-
Oh! Your life insurance forms
came for you to sign.
-
Oh, my mirror!
-
- I'll get another pen.
- No need. I'll sign it when I get back.
-
Well, you know best.
-
Honey, you know that global-warming
problem? I know how we can reverse it.
-
- Tell me.
- No, not now, lovey-bumpers.
-
There'll be plenty of time for that later.
-
And my investigation
into JFK's assassination?
-
You found the evidence you wanted?
-
Yes. It's right here in my pocket. It's big,
honey. It goes all the way to the White House.
-
- Do you want me to hold it for you?
- Nah. It'll be safe right here.
-
I'm in a jet. What could go wrong?
-
Oh, Dead Meat. We just couldn't be
any more perfectly happy.
-
Where the hell is Topper?
-
Thanks for joinin' the party!
-
Hey, Topper! You seen any of my lucky gum?
-
No.
-
Freedom Squadron, start your engines.
-
God, that's loud. My ear canals
are very sensitive. Stainless steel.
-
Took a bullet in Corregidor.
Passed straight through. Look at this.
-
We have these to hold down the sound, sir.
-
Oh, good. Thanks.
-
Let's hope they do the trick.
Give me the mike, boy.
-
For the love of God, man, be careful.
-
Ever since Normandy, this is Corning Ware.
-
*Those of you who excel*
*during these aerial combat exercises*
-
*will go on to make up*
*the greatest fighting unit ever assembled. *
-
- Topper, keep that nose up!
- He's never done that before.
-
Red team leader, break off.
Prepare to engage.
-
Roger that.
-
- *Blue leader, prepare for action. *
- Roger that.
-
I'm minus six. Movin' in.
-
I've got tone. Got him!
-
Dead Meat, confirm kill.
-
- Mrs. Thompson?
- Yes.
-
- I'm Topper Harley.
- Oh! Dead Meat's talked about you!
-
Oh, he thinks the world of you.
-
But shouldn't you be up there
flying with the squad?
-
I've got a lock. I'm closing in.
-
He's spotted me. He's a slippery devil.
-
Topper! Watch your right side! Damn!
-
I'm bailin' out!
-
Wash Out? What are you doin' here?
-
There's no time to go into it.
-
Do me a favor - don't land.
-
- Get outta here! We're gonna crash!
- I can't! I'm stuck!
-
Then I must help you, my friend!
Think well of me!
-
Thank you!
-
- Don't. Don't look.
- Oh, no!
-
Whoa!
-
Oh, man!
-
Wendy, I can fly!
-
- Hey, Topper.
- Easy, buddy.
-
- The darnedest thing just happened.
- Hang on, buddy.
-
Topper?
-
Swing him around this way.
-
Let's go. One, two.
-
Let's move it. Come on.
-
- Come on.
- Enough!
-
Hello!
-
Relax, buddy. We'll have you
in the hospital in no time.
-
Good morning! Excuse me!
-
Wait, guys! Wait!
-
Let's go, let's go.
-
Easy. Easy, easy, easy.
-
- Let's move.
- What a ride!
-
- Wash Out. You made it.
- Why, thank you, André.
-
I'll have the veal piccata.
-
- Oh. Get the cardio readout.
- Where is it?
-
- It's...
- Hey, fellas.
-
- Inside there on the left.
- I can't find it!
-
- Doctor!
- What happened?
-
Plane crash.
-
- We gotta work fast. I got a lunch.
- You're missing the big picture, Doc.
-
Nurse, check his penis isn't longer than mine.
-
- No, Doctor.
- Good. Now this is gonna hurt.
-
Nurse, give me 15cc of morphine, quickly.
-
- Can you save him?
- Can't be sure. I'm not a good doctor.
-
Thank you, Nurse. Wait here.
-
- You gonna be all right, buddy?
- I'm in a hospital. What could go wrong?
-
Mrs. Thompson, I know you must hate me
but there's something I want you to have.
-
I've been puttin' a little away
for the past ten years.
-
It's not much. 2500. I wish I could do more.
-
Why, Topper.
-
That's so sweet.
-
Why, with the three million
I won on this Lucky Lotto ticket,
-
I can take this 2500
and just blow it all on hats.
-
Right, and halt!
-
Pete "Dead Meat" Thompson is dead.
-
So is Mo Green,
-
Tataglia, Barzini,
-
the heads of all the five families.
-
It is at moments like these,
my dear friends, that we must ask ourselves:
-
"How can this not be part
of some larger plan?"
-
Do good men like Dead Meat Thompson
just blink out one day like a bad bulb?
-
One minute you're in bed
with a knockout gal, or guy,
-
and the next, you're a compost heap.
-
Doesn't that bother you?
Because it scares the living piss outta me!
-
I never thought this could happen.
Don't we have what we need now, Mr. Wilson?
-
This should be enough to prove
that our planes need replacing.
-
No. They have to fail in combat for the world
to take notice. This is a minor incident.
-
Minor? I just lost one of my best men.
-
Are you backing out on us, Block?
-
I'm doing this for my country,
-
not for you.
-
We'll need the backup plan.
-
Ready? Fire!
-
Jumpin' Jesus, they're back!
-
Take cover! Hit the deck!
-
Cover me!
-
Battle stations! Battle stations!
-
Have they no respect for the dead?
-
God, I love a good funeral.
-
Topper, where are you going?
-
I'm handin' in my resignation. You were right.
You said I was dangerous, and I am.
-
Topper, wait.
-
Please, let's talk.
-
They're right. I'm no better than my father.
-
It seems, no matter what I do,
I end up hurting someone.
-
You've got to stop comparing yourself
with your father. You're two different people.
-
- We both killed a man.
- That's just a coincidence.
-
He loved jets. So do I.
-
He was a loner, just like me.
-
For God's sakes,
I've even got my father's eyes.
-
- Topper, please.
- Ah, they're just for luck.
-
You've got to make your own luck.
-
Get back in the sky and prove yourself.
-
Besides, there's something else.
-
After our first meeting in my office,
I sent my evaluation to Commander Block.
-
I recommended you be grounded.
I was afraid someone might get hurt.
-
What are you saying?
-
I think someone wants Sleepy Weasel to fail.
-
- That's heavy.
- Totally.
-
That's the other reason why you need to fly.
-
This could be your only opportunity
to save the mission
-
and solve your personal problems,
all in one fell swoop.
-
Now read it back to me, Francine.
-
"And if you ever put your goddamn hands
on my wife again... "
-
- You wanted to see me, sir?
- Oh, Blank. Come in.
-
I've been expecting someone.
-
- That'll be all, Francine.
- Yes, sir.
-
- Pudding?
- No, thank you, sir.
-
I'll put this to you straight.
Thompson's death shocked us all.
-
And that hot shot Harley is responsible.
I want that smirking little wise-ass outta here.
-
Morale on this base is shot to hell.
Just look out there.
-
Quiet. Now, hardly a man moving.
-
Roy? Roy!
-
Huh? I even went to school with that man.
It's just not the same.
-
Been ignoring me all day.
Remind me to send him a note.
-
Sir, may I say something?
-
I know Harley acted irresponsibly.
-
But his kind lives on the edge.
Always willing to take a chance.
-
Now, we need Topper for this mission
for just that reason.
-
I like your thinking, Colonel.
-
Besides, Thompson wasn't that good a pilot.
-
He only had a small family. The kids are
a pain in the ass. The wife's on the sauce.
-
Poor bastard's better off dead.
-
What size shoes do you wear?
-
- A nine, sir.
- Good.
-
It's settled. We'll send Harley to the front.
-
By the way. Thank you for having us
over to dinner the other night.
-
Cheryl and I loved the stroganoff.
-
- Sir, we didn't have dinner the other night.
- Really?
-
Well, where the hell was I?
And who's this Cheryl?
-
Doesn't matter. Run along, Sid.
-
Cheryl?
-
Kent?
-
I came to get my chafing dish. Our orders
just came. We're shipping out in one hour.
-
Are you comin' along this time?
-
- The chafing dish is not yours.
- It is.
-
- It isn't.
- OK, I don't want it.
-
- I'll take it.
- You stay out of it.
-
This is not the time or place.
-
I've got a big score
to settle with you, my friend.
-
Excuse me.
-
I've hurt him.
-
Topper.
-
Topper, you better go. I have to think.
-
Well, I don't.
-
- I've fallen for you like a blind roofer.
- I'm sorry?
-
My heart is fallin' down around my ankles
like a wet pair of pants.
-
My whole life, all I've wanted to do is fly.
-
Bomb stuff. Shoot people down.
-
But we've been through so much together.
Ramada, I need you.
-
I want you.
-
# Only you
-
# Can make this world seem bright
-
# Only you
-
# *Can make the darkness bright*
-
Wow!
-
# *Only you, and you alone*
-
# *Can thrill me like you do*
-
# *And fill my heart with love for only you*
-
Ramada!
-
Topper!
-
Ramada!
-
I love you!
-
I love *you. *
-
# *You are my destiny*
-
It's not that easy, Ramada.
-
This is one night you're not turning me out.
-
# *The magic that you do*
-
# *You're my dream come true*
-
# *My one and only you*
-
# *Oh-oh, only you*
-
# *Can make this change in me*
-
# *For it's true*
-
# *You are my destiny*
-
# *When you hold my hand*
-
# *I understand*
-
# *The magic that you do*
-
# *You're my dream come true*
-
# *My one*
-
# And only
-
# You
-
Topper, I'm so confused. I need time alone.
-
Somewhere in the Mediterranean
-
Admiral Benson!
-
Really? That's my name, too.
-
Yankee Doodle Floppy Disk, this is Foxtrot
Zulu Milkshake. Request permission to land.
-
Roger that. You are cleared to land.
Welcome to the Mediterranean.
-
Wash Out, is that you?
-
You bet! They put me in charge of radar.
I'm your eyes on the ground.
-
*All crews report to the flight deck. *
*All crews report to the flight deck. *
-
Have you no decency?
-
The open sea.
-
Oh, God. I wish I could smell.
I had my nostrils fried in Panmunjom.
-
Admiral Benson!
-
Meet Mr. Wilson and Mr. Rosener of Rockman
Aviation. They'll be observing the operation.
-
Yes, of course.
-
It's OK. I'm all right. No problem.
-
I slipped on the crab.
Who put that crab there?
-
- Crab? I didn't see any crab.
- There were two crabs. They work in pairs.
-
I went to Annapolis, for Christ's sake.
-
- From the Pentagon, sir. We just decoded it.
- Help me with this. My eyes are ceramic.
-
A bazooka round at Little Bighorn. Or was it
Okinawa? The one without the Indians.
-
It's final orders. We strike tomorrow at 0600.
-
Excellent. Wake me up at, oh... 5:30.
-
- Get outta your flight suit. You're not going.
- What do you mean?
-
This mission is too important
to let you screw it up. You're not flying.
-
- Am too.
- Are not.
-
Am too.
-
- All right, mister. Let's go at it.
- Let's do it.
-
Come on, come on.
-
- My face!
- My hand!
-
Attention on deck!
-
Be seated.
-
Gentlemen, we've waited
a long time to hear this.
-
In exactly five hours and 17 minutes,
we hit the enemy toast.
-
- I think that's the enemy coast, sir.
- Huh? Coast?
-
That'll take a little more planning.
-
We have to knock out the nuclear-weapons
plant at Falafel Heights.
-
The plant goes on line in 12 hours
and is heavily defended.
-
If you have trouble hitting your objective,
your secondary targets are here and here:
-
An accordion factory and a mime school.
-
Good luck, gentlemen. Blink, take over.
-
Oh, one more thing.
-
I'll get that. It's probably for me.
-
Our sortie will proceed as planned.
-
And I want Topper Harley
leading our squadron into battle.
-
Lieutenant Commander, sir.
-
It's nothing personal.
I know I speak for every man here.
-
We've lost all respect for Harley.
-
He's poison for the morale of the unit,
and a disaster to the success of this mission.
-
You're outta line, Gregory.
You'll obey orders and like it.
-
Now get to your planes.
-
- Sir?
- What is it, Mr. Harley?
-
- I hope I'm wrong about this.
- What would that be?
-
Nobody likes playing
for a coach who throws the big game.
-
What's that supposed to mean?
-
My uncle told me that not playin' to win
is like sleepin' with your sister.
-
Sure, she's a great piece of tail
with a blouseful of goodies, but it's illegal.
-
- Jesus, Topper. Come on.
- Then you get into that whole inbred thing.
-
Kids with no teeth who play the banjo,
-
eat apple sauce through a straw,
pork farm animals.
-
Topper, that's enough.
-
I think you get my point, sir.
-
I just hope you're playin' straight with us.
-
Alpha Velveeta Knuckle Underwear,
you are cleared for takeoff.
-
*When you hit that nuclear-weapons plant,*
*drop a bomb for me. *
-
Sphincter Mucous Niner Ringworm, roger.
-
Holy cow! My cap blew off.
Swing her round. We'll pick it up.
-
But, sir, we're on the mission.
-
Good thinking.
We'll pick it up on the way back.
-
We gotta mark the spot, though.
Put Rabinowitz in a life raft.
-
- Have him row in circles until we return.
- It could be days.
-
Then put some food in the life raft, man.
Do I have to think of everything?
-
We'll tape his favorite shows.
-
- Sir, there's no time.
- OK, OK!
-
How can I be an admiral without my cap?
-
It's out there all alone
and I'm powerless to do anything about it.
-
We're entering enemy airspace.
-
Sir, it appears we have
unidentified radar contacts.
-
- Looks like enemy aircraft at 12 o'clock.
- Really? That gives us about... 25 minutes.
-
Think I'll step out for a burger.
-
Sir, there are six of them!
Bearing 2-1-5, range 150 mi...
-
Oh my God - a dozen more of them.
-
And a blimp! A big, shiny blimp,
and it's slowly moving south!
-
- Block, have you got a tally on the bandits?
- *Roger that. I got 'em. *
-
All right. Resume combat spread.
Attack formation Delta-niner.
-
*Topper in the lead. *
*Just like your old man, son. *
-
*Old Buzz Harley'd be proud of you, Topper. *
-
*He's the type that could end up*
*killing every man in this outfit. *
-
*Read... my... lips. *
-
*No... new... taxes. *
-
- Topper, what are you doing?
- He's frozen! Topper's no good to us!
-
Abort the mission! Abort the mission!
-
*Return to mother!*
-
We can't! They're all over us!
-
- Damn it! All right, engage!
- I've got a bogie at 12 o'clock!
-
I got two on my tail! Kowalski, get 'em off me!
-
Locked up! Fox two!
-
- *My missile didn't track!*
- *My engine's cut out. I'm losing power!*
-
My cannons won't fire! What's going on?
-
I've got two bandits on my six!
-
This is insane. Wilson and Rosener.
-
*It was them, wasn't it?*
*They said nobody was gonna get hurt. *
-
Block, call your men back.
-
Like hell I will! I got
the best pilot in the world up here.
-
*Topper! Topper, do you read me?*
-
*I was there 20 years ago. I was there*
*with your father and Mailman Farnham. *
-
*I was an eyewitness. *
*You gotta listen to me, Topper. *
-
*What they said about your dad is wrong. *
-
Eject, Mailman. Eject!
-
I can't! My seat's jammed!
-
- Nothing works!
- Stay calm!
-
- My harness is malfunctioning!
- I'll get it!
-
Buzz! The nose! The nose!
-
Whoa! Sit tight!
-
Come on! Hurry!
-
Get the lead out!
-
It's gonna be OK!
-
Wow! That was sure close!
-
Buzz! Get back here!
-
I'm OK!
-
Buzz! The wing! The wing!
-
Hurry!
-
What, are you on a break?
-
- Hurry!
- I'm here!
-
Hey, whose gum is this?
-
Oh, for God's sake! Not now!
-
Got it! Hold on! We'll bring this baby down!
-
Stop squirming!
-
Hang on!
-
Those are my socks!
-
Buzz! Get back here!
-
*Your father did everything humanly possible*
*to save Mailman's life. *
-
*You should be proud, son. *
*Buzz Harley is a true American hero. *
-
- I'm hit! I'm hit!
- Block, are you all right?
-
Yes! Yes!
-
Give 'em hell!
-
Got it! This is for you, Dad.
-
- They're on my tail.
- I'm with you, buddy.
-
Hang in there.
-
My guns are jammed.
-
They got tone on me!
-
I'm gonna have to do it the hard way.
-
Anybody home?
-
They fell for that one.
-
- Topper! Three bandits, 12 o'clock!
- I'm on 'em!
-
Here we go, loop de loop.
-
Couscous!
-
Learned this one from Paula Abdul.
-
Oldest trick in the book.
-
Catch me if you can, guys.
Here's an old Buzz Harley move.
-
Oh, boys...
-
I'm on their tails. I've got 'em now.
-
Hey, buddy.
-
It looks like they're buggin' out.
-
Yikes!
-
Saved by the clouds. Come on in, boys.
-
A little hide-and-seek.
-
See ya later, guys.
-
This could be the end
of a beautiful friendship.
-
Topper, look out!
-
I got two heatseeking missiles on my tail.
-
Block, Kent, Kowalski, get the hell outta here!
-
Get back to the ship!
I got me a nuclear-weapons plant to wax.
-
- You're committing suicide!
- Do as he says!
-
We are getting close.
-
Missiles? Still with me. Come on.
-
If I can't lose 'em, I'll use 'em.
-
The mother of all targets.
-
Sayonara, Saddam.
-
*Come in! Are you all right?*
*Topper, acknowledge!*
-
- Topper, do you read?
- *Topper, are you all right?*
-
There they are!
-
We're landing. Do you wanna
get out of the way?
-
Run for your lives!
-
- Where's Topper?
- Lost contact.
-
- There he is!
- *Pyrex Pickle Blowfish. *
-
*Permission to land. *
-
- *You'll have to talk me down. I've got damage. *
- Hold it, hold it!
-
OK, Topper. Ease her in.
-
- *Landing gear's frozen. *
- Lookin' good.
-
- *Lost my radar. *
- A little more power now.
-
- *I'm out of fuel. *
- Right for lineup.
-
- *Lost a wing. *
- Doin' fine.
-
- *There goes the other one. *
- OK, Topper. Call the ball.
-
*Touchin' down. *
-
Well done, Jim!
-
- You're quite a guy.
- So are you.
-
Hey! Wash Out!
-
Oh, Topper.
-
You.
-
You.
-
- I got one question for you.
- Shoot.
-
What is a chafing dish for?
-
Why, it's a traditional serving piece
used at brunches to keep food warm.
-
- I thought that was a Crockpot.
- No, no, no.
-
That's for cooking all day. A chafing dish...
-
Hey, Topper! Now that you've
made the world safe for democracy,
-
what will you do to cash in
on your newfound fame?
-
I'm goin' to Disneyland!
-
You're very fortunate, Commander Block.
This man has your blood type.
-
Don't worry, sir. After this transfusion,
you're gonna be just fine.
-
I've only seen heroism like that
one other time.
-
Maybe you know the pilot:
Leland "Buzz" Harley.
-
I've been carrying this secret around
for 20 years.
-
I never spoke up.
-
I wanted him to fail.
-
I wanted to be number one.
-
And I was in love with your mother.
-
It's not important now, sir. Please,
save your strength for your court martial.
-
Topper, you had me pegged right.
-
I was throwin' the big game.
-
I really thought
we needed that other airplane.
-
But now I realize that
American planes'll always be superior
-
as long as there are
wonderful men like you in the cockpit
-
and German parts.
-
I know you think it was me, but it was
Wilson and Rosener who sabotaged the jets.
-
They played me like a two-bit piccolo.
-
I can see my house from here!
-
Oh no, you don't.
-
- Admiral!
- You call yourself an American?
-
That gets my panties in a bunch.
It's scum like you that taint our military.
-
- You don't know what you're talking about.
- You risked the lives of some fine pilots.
-
Well, that's myjob.
-
Is it safe?
-
I think I'm wearing your pants.
-
- Ramada!
- Kent!
-
- You're OK.
- Ramada.
-
You must put me out of your mind.
-
There's a certain flyboy aboard that ship
that needs you far more than I.
-
- You must forget me.
- No problem. I will.
-
Please, not a tear.
-
Don't look back. That's my brave girl.
-
Don't worry, little one!
As long as I have me, I'll survive!
-
Topper!
-
Go, Bill, go!
-
Topper!
-
Wait!
-
Whoa!
-
Topper!
-
Owatonna.
-
I got your batteries.
-
It's about fucking time.
-
So, who won?
-
We did.
-
I fell in love with a woman,
but she threw me a curve.
-
Ramada.
-
Once, perhaps. Now I'm called Wawatukeena.
-
- What does it mean?
- Little Sizzling Belly.
