Booker Prize winner quotes "Airplane" in acceptance speech.

"A reformed drug addict and con man who says he amassed $200,000 in debts, Mr. Pierre, 42, began his acceptance speech by flashing an engaging smile and declaring, 'As Lloyd Bridges said, "I think I picked the wrong week to give up sniffing glue."'

Fantastic.
