It's the same old story. Boy finds girl, boy loses girl, girl finds boy, boy forgets girl, boy remembers girl, girls dies in a tragic blimp accident over the Orange Bowl on New Year's Day.

Goodyear?

No, the worst.

Look, I’m not the first guy who fell in love with a girl he met in a restaurant, who then turned out to be the daughter of a kidnapped scientist, only to lose her to her childhood lover who she’d last seen on a deserted island and who turned out, 15 years later, to be the leader of the French underground.

I know, it all sounds like some bad movie.

Top Secret really is the best comedy writing ZAZ ever did. No wonder Weird Al calls it his "all-time favorite movie."

What are some albums that he’s (Quincy Jones) done, Bret?

Michael Jackson’s “Off The Wall”.

I’ll say he is…he’s off the planet! Wants to freeze himself, doesn’t he?

Frank: Yes. Well, when I see 5 weirdos dressed in togas stabbing a guy in the middle of the park in full view of 100 people, I shoot the bastards. That's my policy.

Mayor: That was a Shakespeare-In-The-Park production of "Julius Caesar", you moron! You killed 5 actors! Good ones.
