In the movie "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai", at one point he and
an alien steal a small ship to chase after the bad guys. Buckaroo tells
the alien to drive while he shoots at the bad guys.

Buckaroo: Here, take the controls. It drives like a truck.
Alien: (heavy Jamaican accent) Good. What is a truck?
