Spoiler alert.  This will tell you everything about the movie.
Well, everything a grog needs to know.  (I wonder if Bawb had a hand in the final write of the script?)
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"When all other trusts fail, turn to Flashman." — Abraham Lincoln.

"I have enjoyed very warm relations with my two husbands."
"With your eyes closed?"
"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

Nope.

It was very touching though. I cried at the end.
'We few, we happy few, we band of brothers'

'Clip those corners'

My father's Superman was George Reeves 1 million years ago. My Superman was Christopher Reeve. My Grandpa's Superman was Herbert Hoover, 2 million years ago.

My wife saw the movie.  She says this is largely how the plot went - just not as funny.
