Some good quotes from one of my all time favorite movies
(What a great opening for a movie)
There was a demon that lived in the air. They said whoever challenged him would die. Their controls would freeze up, their planes would buffet wildly, and they would disintegrate. The demon lived at Mach 1 on the meter, seven hundred and fifty miles an hour, where the air could no longer move out of the way. He lived behind a barrier through which they said no man could ever pass. They called it the sound barrier.
(This one cracks me up)
Grand Designer : We could launch a pod.
Lyndon Johnson : A pot?
Grand Designer : A POD - a, uh, capsule. Now, we would be in full control of zis pod. It vill go up like a cannonball, and come down like, uh, a cannonball, splashing down into ze water, the ocean, vith a parachute to spare the life of the specimen inside.
Lyndon Johnson : Spaceman?
Grand Designer : SPE-CI-MEN.
Lyndon Johnson : Well, what kind of spe-ci-men?
Grand Designer : A tough one. Responsive to orders. I had in mind a jimp.
Lyndon Johnson : JIMP? Well what the HELL is a jimp?
Grand Designer : A jimp. A-a-a jimpanzee, Senator. An ape.
Still one of the best space movies ever IMO.
