2. What movie is this quote from?
I'm just getting started. You're gonna stay right here
and get a bellyful of flying. You're gonna make every mission. You're not air
exec anymore. You're just an airplane commander. And I want you to paint this
name on the nose of your ship: Leper Colony. Because in it you're gonna get
every deadbeat in the outfit. Every man with a penchant for head colds. If there's
a bombardier who can't hit his plate with his fork, you get him. If there's a
navigator who can't find the men's room, you get him. Because you rate him.

I agree with TC
ReplyDeleteJust discovered this blog, so I'm working my way backwards, so this is a very tardy replay. Anyway, the only time I ever saw Casablanca was a retro showing in a theater. However, it was projected to fit the width of the modern screen, so the top and bottom of the old narrow image were cut off. In the scene pictured, I had to infer she'd pulled a gun on Bogie by his reaction.
