"Ladies and gentlemen, we are about to begin our descent into Los Angeles. The sound you just heard is the landing gear locking into place. Los Angeles weather is clear; temperature is 72. We expect to make our 4 hour and 18 minute flight on schedule. We have enjoyed having you on board, and look forward to seeing you again in the near future."

No. It's not scifi, it's from 1967, and it's a classic.

"'Help him! Help him!'

'Help who?'

'Help the bombardier!'

'I'm the bombardier, I'm all right.'

'Then help HIM, help HIM!'"
"'Is Orr crazy?'

'Of course he is. He has to be crazy to keep flying after all the close calls he's had.'

'Why can't you ground him?'

'I can, but first he has to ask me.'

'That's all he's gotta do to be grounded?'

'That's all.'

'Then you can ground him?'

'No. Then I cannot ground him.'

'Aah!'

'There's a catch.'

'A catch?'

'Sure, a catch... Anyone who wants to get out of combat isn't really crazy, so I can't ground him.'

'Ok, let me see if I've got this straight. In order to be grounded, I've got to be crazy. And I must be crazy to keep flying. But if I ask to be grounded, that means I'm not crazy anymore, and I have to keep flying.'

'You got it.'

'Whoo... That's some catch...'"

Hint...

General Dreedle: All right, at ease... there'll be no more moaning in this outfit... the next man who moans is going to be very sorry...

Danby: Ohhhhhhh...

General Dreedle: Who is this man?

Colonel Cathcart: Major Danby, Sir.

Lt. Col. Korn, XO: Danby... D-A-N-B-Y...

General Dreedle: Take him out and shoot him.

Colonel Cathcart: Sir?

General Dreedle: I said take him out and shoot him... can't you hear?

Colonel Cathcart: Take Major Danby out and shoot him...

I have not seen this movie, but because of the word catch so prominent, I am guessing Catch 22
