Bueller... Bueller... Movie Quotes Anyone?

I am looking for movie quotes about trying to get someone's attention. Anyone...?
We have a friend who is often in his own world, not paying attention. We have a (lame) running joke using two different movie quotes to get his attention:
First the classic, "Bueller... Bueller... Anyone?"
Second, from First Blood, "Company Leader to Raven. Talk to me, Johnny..."

Lieutenant M.R. Ring: Morning, men! I thought I'd lead you through this exercise. Can't find Gunny Highway, though...
[Highway appears behind a makeshift building at the training site and sprays live bullet fire]
Lieutenant M.R. Ring: [dives for cover] Jesus Christ, what was that?
Lance Corporal Fragatti: Sir! That is the AK-47 Assault Rifle!
Profile: The preferred weapon of our enemy...
Collins: And it makes a distinctive sound when fired at us, Sir!
Lieutenant M.R. Ring: [still dazed] Yeah... I guess it does!

Miss Caswell (Marilyn Monroe): Oh, waiter!
Addison DeWitt (George Sanders): That is not a waiter, my dear, that is a butler.
Miss Caswell: Well, I can't yell "Oh butler!" can I? Maybe somebody's name is Butler...
Addison DeWitt: You have a point. An idiotic one, but a point.
