Who could forget Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as Captain Roger Murdock? Not this Laker fan. His short appearance had one of the greatest dialogues a Laker fan could enjoy and it was nice to see Kareem finally having some fun with himself.
- Joey: I think you’re the greatest, but my dad says you don’t work hard enough on defense.
[Kareem's getting mad]
Joey: And he says that lots of times, you don’t even run down court. And that you don’t really try… except during the playoffs.
Roger Murdock: The hell I don’t. LISTEN KID. I’ve been hearing that crap ever since I was at UCLA. I’m out there busting my buns every night. Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes - Joey, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?
- Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue!
- Ted Striker: Surely there must be something you can do.
Rumack: I’m doing everything I can… and stop calling me Shirley. - Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence
Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What’s our vector, Victor?
Tower voice: Tower’s radio clearance, over!
Captain Oveur: That’s Clarence Oveur. Over - Ted Striker: concentrate… concentrate… I’ve got to concentrate… concentrate… concentrate… Hello?… hello… hello… Echo… echo… echo… Pinch hitting for Pedro Borbon… Manny Mota… Mota… Mota… (Did you know Manny Mota used to hold the pinch hitting record? Yes, I am a wealth of knowledge)
- Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before?
Joey: No sir, I’ve never been up in a plane before.
Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked?
