Airport (1970): Machanic and Pilot Argue

The clip Machanic and Pilot Argue from Airport (1970) with George Kennedy, Robert Patten

Full throttle!
All the way!
You chickened out on me.
I said I wanted all the power you got.
At full throttle, this plane would be standing on its nose.
You might fly these things, but I take them apart...
and put them back together again.
If you had any guts, we'd be on the runway by now.
You felt it vibrating.
Another 10 seconds, we'd have had structural damage.
You're not talking to some kid that fixes bicycles.
I know every inch of the 707.
Take the wings off this, and you could use it as a tank.
This plane is built to withstand anything...
except a bad pilot.
All right, hold it.
This kind of talk will get us nowhere.
You might tell your mechanic...
I've got over three million miles in the air.
And 21/2 feet in the ground.
Let's stop wasting time! What do we do now?
Now we got to dig a lot deeper, put lumber under the wheels,
but the next time we try,
since he's afraid, I'll drive it out.
I'm not turning this ship over to anybody...
without authorization from our chief pilot.
I phoned Kettering, but there's no answer.
We'll just sit here and wait till you get him.
No, we don't. We haven't got time.
You're not in the air, Captain.
You're on the ground- my ground-
and you're blocking my primary runway.
I'm not using full power. It's too risky.
Then I'll make the decision.
I'll take the responsibility for the aircraft.
Mr. Patroni is licensed to taxi. He'll take over.
