Airport (1970): Cleaning the Runway

The clip Cleaning the Runway from Airport (1970) with Burt Lancaster, Dean Martin

Mobile One, ground control.
Yes, Doug. This is Mel.
Cleveland just handed off flight two to Chicago Center.
The aircraft transmissions aren't exactly regulation.
The captain's blowing a fuse.
I'd like to monitor. What's the frequency?
117.1.
We need answers, not questions.
Are you guys sleeping down there?
Why aren't we getting any action?
We need help!
Global two, this is the Chicago Center watch supervisor.
Please understand we're doing everything we can.
We're holding other traffic and giving you priority.
What type of approach do you wish?
Chicago supervisor, listen carefully.
Any approach is no damned good if it ends on runway 22.
We need two-niner.
We've got an unserviceable stabilizer trim,
doubtful rudder control, and structural damage.
If we're brought in on 22,
there'll be a broken airplane and a lot of dead people,
so you call Lincoln and turn the screws.
You tell the Lincoln manager to get off his butt...
and clear that runway!
Snow desk, Mobile One.
This is snow desk. Go ahead, Mel.
Danny, listen carefully. Break the conga line.
Send the heavy plows across to runway two-niner.
They're to head for stuck airplane and await instruction.
Roger.
Conga leader, snow desk.
Yeah, that's it.
On this side, get close under the wheel.
