Quotes from
[observing an outbreak of food poisoning sweeping the plane]
Stewardess Janet Turner: What is it, doctor? What's going on?
Dr. Baird: I'm not sure. Unless... what was it we had for dinner tonight?
Stewardess Janet Turner: Well, we had a choice. Steak or fish.
Dr. Baird: Yes... I remember. I had steak. What did he have? The co-pilot?
Stewardess Janet Turner: He had fish.
Dr. Baird: All right. Now we know what we're up against. Every passenger who ate fish for dinner on this plane will become ill within a half-hour after consumption.
Stewardess Janet Turner: Why?
Dr. Baird: I'm very certain now that it has to do with the fish. There seems to have been contaminated seafood brought on the plane.
Stewardess Janet Turner: How could the fish be contaminated? The airline checks all foods prior to departure.
Dr. Baird: Possibly because of an undetected bacteria strain or untreated cleaning processes of the seafood... but that's not important right now! Tell the captain we need to land this plane as soon as we can. We can't wait before we land in Vancouver.
Lt. Ted Stryker: [enters the cockpit] Oh doctor, the stewardess said...
[Stryker sees the pilot and co-pilot seats empty and the plane on automatic pilot]
Lt. Ted Stryker: BOTH pilots?
Dr. Baird: Can you fly this airplane and land it?
Lt. Ted Stryker: Not a chance!
