I was doing this routine with my youngin' in the car the other day. He never saw Airplane 2 of course but he caught right on. (Buddy caught right on?) He said, "And he wasn't there," and I interrupted "Wait, Andy wasn't there?" Then he said, with my prompting, "No, Andy was there, but he had to leave early." Then I'd say, "Buddy had to leave early?" We laughed.
Here it is, one of my favorite movie scenes, the Courtroom Scene from Airplane 2.
Pilot: Striker was the squadron leader. He brought us in real low. But he couldn't handle it.
Prosecutor: Buddy couldn't handle it? Was Buddy one of you crew?
Pilot: Right, Buddy was the bombardier. But it was Striker who couldn't handle it, and he went to pieces.
Prosecutor: Andy went to pieces?
Pilot: No. Andy was the navigator. He was all right. Buddy went to pieces. It was awful how he came unglued.
Prosecutor: Howie came unglued?
Pilot: Oh no. Howie was a rock, the best tailgunner in the outfit. Buddy came unglued.
Prosecutor: And he bailed out?
Pilot: No. Andy hung tough. Buddy bailed out. How he survived, it was a miracle.
Prosecutor: Then Howie survived?
Pilot: No, 'fraid not. We lost Howie the next day.
Prosecutor: Over Macho Grande?
Pilot: No. I don't think I'll ever be over Macho Grande.

fb here... I forgot all about that scene, in fact most of the second movie. I'll have to go back and watch it.
