My favourite Kevin monologue…

Hi. I'm Kevin Hamilton McDonald, and I'm about to stun you with a remarkable set of fact. Years ago, people discovered the astonishing similarities between John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln. Well, I, too, have made another eerie discovery--the astonishing similarities between my family, the McDonalds and...The Airport movie series, starring such wonderful actors as Dean Martin, Burt Lancaster, and Charlton Heston.

Fact one: In the movie "Airport" the lead character is a salesman who decides to blow up the plane he is on so his wife can collect the insurance money. In the McDonald family, my father was a salesman. [SALESMAN on screen] Coincidence!?

Fact two: "Airport '75." In 1975, a sequel to the movie "Airport" is released starring Karen Black. In 1975, my mother dyes her hair...black! [BLACK on screen] Coincidence!?

Fact three: "Airport '77," a movie in which a large jumbo jet is trapped underwater. In 1977, I failed my superfish swimming test, because I can't hold my breath ten seconds underwater. I am also fat and therefore cruelly nicknamed "Jumbo." [JUMBO UNDERWATER on screen.] Coincidence!?

Fact four! "Airport '79"! A story of a bitter millionaire who sends a nuclear missile into space! ... Hey! What's? ... [brick wall collapses onto Kevin and knocks him onto the floor] I'm trapped! I'm trapped!

[Control room]

Man: Oh, sweet Jesus! The scene has crashed! I repeat, the scene has crashed! We need to get some help down there.

[Scott enters through hole in wall.]

Scott: Hang on Mr. McDonald. We're comin' for ya. Uh! Ah. Come on; get up. Don't give up.

[Kevin gets up.]

Kevin: Hey! Chuck Heston! Coincidence?

Scott: No, it's a madhouse!! A! Mad! House!!
