Splat! and then someone's dachshund is nippin' at your pancreas


That is an Oscar-worthy line.

For those who haven't seen the movie, a redneck Vegas waitress is commenting to Eastwood on the risks of airline flying: "you're doomed to crash, and then..."Splat"... someone's dachshund is nippin' at your pancreas!"

...Ya can't top the loose and un-PC 70's dialogue of the Gauntlet. It has aged well. Eastwood was displaying his directorial genius long ago.

One of my all-time favorite movie lines. I think of it every time I'm in an airport about to board a plane!

She's the best part of the whole film for me!
