One of the best quotes, ever.


Max Landsberger: I just go with the flow. I flipped out years ago. I only look sane, but I'm not. The secret is you have to be crazy to maintain your sanity up here. But you're sane, Jack. That's why you're going crazy.

Beginning of the movie, Eddie Albert flying over the city in the corporate helicopter with Judge Reinhold. Says, "And to think: when I first came to this town, I had less than $30 million dollars in my pocket..."

Great line and set the tone for the rest of the film.

I loved the Stradivarius scene where he accidentally crushed his violin and Eddie Albert whacked his violin on the table, destroying it, then calmly getting another one, and describing that they're knockoffs from a 3rd world country.
Oh how things never change.

That's it. Thank you. I don't have the movie on Netflix and haven't seen it in years but was looking for the Eddie Albert line.

It's a killer and reminds me so much of rich politicians who think since they're rich, they are therefore amazing. No, almost always your daddy and great daddy already had money.

Yes the whole story about how the African tribes use the jets is hilarious.

You just have to be resigned-
You're crashing by design

And it's exactly how it works, too.

"Two Super Bowls with all white teams, quite an achievement in this day and age...". That is one that always makes me laugh and something we would never hear in a movie today. PC has ruined comedies.
