Dr. Stone Quotes in Airplane II: The Sequel (1982)

Prosecutor: Dr. Stone, would you give the court your impression of Mr. Striker?

Dr. Stone: I'm sorry, I don't do impressions... my training is in psychiatry.

Businessman: So the company's actually doing very well. We're just raising the figures of the last quarter, they show a 40% increase over the past year.

Dr. Stone: [looking at the patient's chart] Visiting hours are over.

Man in White: Doctor, do you think my brother will be able to come home to the farm soon?

Dr. Stone: It's hard to say, it's a difficult case. He still thinks he's an accountant.

Man in White: Okay.

[Nurses, meanwhile, are trying to restrain the patient who thinks he's an accountant]

Businessman: You must believe me! Invest in money markets!

Dr. Stone: Thought you might like a paper.

Striker: Thanks...

[opens paper, reads headline]

Striker: My God!

Dr. Stone: What's wrong?

Striker: They're launching the XR-2300! Do you know what that is, Doctor?

Dr. Stone: The muffler bracket for a '79 Pinto?

Striker: No, that's the XR-2200. The 2300's the Lunar Shuttle.

Striker: My god!

Dr. Stone: What's wrong?

Striker: They're launching the XR-2300. Do you know what that is, doctor?

Dr. Stone: The muffler bracket for a '79 Pinto?

Striker: No, that's the XR-2200, the 2300's the lunar shuttle. It's got to be stopped!

Kaffee: Commander, you testified that it takes lactic acidosis twenty to thirty minutes before it becomes lethal.

Dr. Stone: Yes.

Kaffee: Let me ask you, is it possible for a person to have an affliction, some sort of condition which might, in the case of this person, actually speed up the process dramatically?

[awkward pause]

Kaffee: Commander, is it possible?

Dr. Stone: Certainly.

Kaffee: What might some of those conditions be?

Dr. Stone: If a person had a coronary disorder or a cerebral disorder, the process would be more rapid.

Kaffee: Commander, if I had a coronary condition and a perfectly clean rag was placed in my mouth, and the rag was accidentally pushed too far down, is it possible that my cells would continue burning sugar after the rag was taken out?

Dr. Stone: It would have to be a very serious condition.

Kaffee: Is it possible to have a serious coronary condition, where the initial warning signals were so mild as to escape a physician during a routine medical exam?

Dr. Stone: Possibly. There would still be symptoms, though.

Kaffee: What kind of symptoms?

Dr. Stone: There are hundreds of symptoms of a...

Kaffee: Chest pains?

Dr. Stone: Yes.

Kaffee: Shortness of breath?

Dr. Stone: Yes.

Kaffee: Fatigue?

Dr. Stone: Of course.

Dr. Stone: Yes.

Kaffee: This is an order for Private Santiago to be put on restricted duty. Would you read your handwritten remarks at the bottom of the page, please, sir?

Dr. Stone: "Initial testing negative. Patient complains of chest pains, shortness of breath, and fatigue. Restricted from running distances over five miles for one week."

Kaffee: Commander, isn't it possible that Santiago had a serious coronary condition, and it was that condition, and not some mysterious poison, that caused the accelerated chemical reaction?
