My favorite line in the show where the guy in charge of air traffic control goes and says: "Impossible, they're on instruments."
The scene immediately switches to the cockpit of the plane where they show Leslie Nielsen and the other members of the "crew" playing a short melody on different' musical instruments.
Sometimes I call my brother, and when he answers I say "Over Macho Grande?" And he says "I'll never be over Macho Grande!" Then we hang up. I love my brother.
