The old Jackie Gleason vehicle The Honeymooners is famous for doublespeak. It's nice to see a TV classic meet a cinema classic!
"You're a riot, Alice! You're a riot!"

: It's the action-packed "doublespeak" scenes, where everybody says their lines at least twice:

: "Turn it! Turn it!"
: "It's stuck!"
: "Never mind! Get back! Get back!"
: [BLAM! BLAM!]
: [BOOM!]
: "Stay with the Ark! Stay with the Ark!"
: [whistles]
: "Holy smoke, my friends, I'm -- I'm so pleased you're not dead!
: Indy, Indy, we have no time. If you still want the ark, it is being loaded onto a truck for Cairo."
: "Truck? What truck?"

: Thank you.
