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..."

Miss Caswell (Marilyn Monroe): Oh, waiter!
Addison DeWitt (George Sanders): That is not a waiter, my dear, that is a butler.

Not from a film, but "Calling occupants of interplanetary craft.." doesn't get a lot of use these days and is probably eligible for reclamation under the right circumstances.
