Steve Martin had no reason to panic...until John Candy came along.
Pack in the Laughter!
What he really wanted was to spend Thanksgiving with his family. What he got was three days with the turkey.

Quotes:

Neal: Well, let me just close this conversation, saying you are a unique individual.::Del: What is unique, uh...? Latin for "asshole?"

Neal: Eh, look, I don't want to be rude, but I'm not much of a conversationalist, and I really want to finish this article, a friend of mine wrote it, so...::Del: Don't let me stand in your way, please don't let me stand in your way. The last thing I want to be remembered as is an annoying blabbermouth... You know, nothing grinds my gears worse than some chowderhead that doesn't know when to keep his big trap shut... If you catch me running off with my mouth, just give me a poke on the chubbs...

[waking up after sharing the same bed on the motel]::Neal: Del... Why did you kiss my ear?::Del: Why are you holding my hand?::Neal: [frowns] Where's your other hand?::Del: Between two pillows...::Neal: Those aren't pillows!

Del: Was that seat hot or what? I feel like a Whopper. Turn me over, I'm done on this side. I'm afraid to look at my ass. There'll be griddle marks.

Car Rental Agent: [cheerfully] Welcome to Marathon, may I help you?::Neal: Yes.::Car Rental Agent: How may I help you?::Neal: You can start by wiping that fucking dumb-ass smile off your rosey, fucking, cheeks! And you can give me a fucking automobile: a fucking Datsun, a fucking Toyota, a fucking Mustang, a fucking Buick! Four fucking wheels and a seat!::Car Rental Agent: I really don't care for the way you're speaking to me.::Neal: And I really don't care for the way your company left me in the middle of fucking nowhere with fucking keys to a fucking car that isn't fucking there. And I really didn't care to fucking walk, down a fucking highway, and across a fucking runway to get back here to have you smile in my fucking face. I want a fucking car RIGHT FUCKING NOW!::Car Rental Agent: May I see your rental agreement?::Neal: I threw it away.::Car Rental Agent: Oh boy.::Neal: Oh boy, what?::Car Rental Agent: You're fucked!

Susan Page: You shared a motel room with a complete stranger? Are you crazy?::Neal: Not yet. But I'm getting there.

Neal: What's the flight situation?::Del: Simple. There's no way on earth we're going to get out of here tonight. We'd have more luck playing pickup sticks with our butt-cheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak.::Neal: I guess we'll find out soon enough.::Del: Yeah, but by the time the airline cancels this flight, which they will sooner or later, you'd have more of a chance to find a three-legged ballerina than you would a hotel room.::Neal: Are you saying I could be *stuck* in Wichita?::Del: I'm saying you *are* stuck in Wichita.

[another driver is trying to alert them that they're driving on the wrong side of the highway]::Neal: He says we're going the wrong way...::Del: Oh, he's drunk. How would he know where we're going?

State Trooper: What the hell are you driving here?::Del: We had a small fire last night, but we caught it in the nick of time.::State Trooper: Do you have any idea how fast you were going?::Del: Funny enough, I was just talking to my friend about that. Our speedometer has melted and as a result it's very hard to see with any degree of accuracy exactly how fast we were going.

Del: If they told you wolverines would make good house pets, would you believe them?

Famous quotes by Susan Page:

"The prisoner-abuse story reinforces the perception by some people that the administration doesn't have the situation in Iraq under control. That means this particular incident gets more coverage than it would otherwise, and it means it has more impact, too."

"It was a horrible session."

"The prime speakers each night are on from 10 to 11 p.m. Eastern time, which is designed to get the maximum TV audience. But that's late for newspapers. It means a lot of newspapers miss their early editions with the big speeches."

"Sometimes key interviews would rather be seen on TV than in a newspaper the next day."

"This is an event where the planners are really determined to get on TV -- not in the old-style newspaper that gets published 12 hours later."
