    Obligatory quotations:

    Excuse me sir, there's been a little problem in the cockpit...
    The cockpit...what is it?
    It's the little room in the front of the plane where the pilots sit, but that's not important right now.

    You ever been in a cockpit before?
    I've never been up in a plane before.
    You ever seen a grown man naked?
