John Goodman as Harling in FLIGHT

    by Capucine · old hollywood: John Goodman

    John Goodman has very little screen time in FLIGHT (2012), but his entrance as Harling remains one of the movie's most memorable moments. The scene opens with a character telling Rob, Don't touch the merch, motherfucker, before asking CeeLo to guard the door. A table is cleared and placed in front of Whip with a chair behind it. The speaker requests a glass of water, a credit card, and a $100 bill, then asks for a cocoa puff. Tobacco is removed from the top of a cigarette. The phrase the boats are comin' is used twice, followed by two small whiffs taken on each side.
