Here's what Jim Cramer had to say about some of the stocks that callers offered up during the "Mad Money Lightning Round" Friday evening:

Boeing BA: "Oh come on, if that one ever goes back to $75, I want you in it. I don't think Airbus is doing any better than they are."

Veolia Environnement VE: "It's an interesting French company, but that's not the one I want you to own. You can't make money on water. I'm bearish on everything water."

Aircastle AYR: "Oh man. I think they're going to bottom soon, but I have no conviction here. Fortress Investments FIG owns a lot of that and their CEO is on my Wall of Shame."

Jefferies Group JEF: "I like the CEO, but I don't want to own any brokerage stocks. I like JPMorgan Chase JPM and Goldman Sachs GS, but Jefferies missed the quarter and that should've been an easy one for them."

Motorola MOT: "Oh man, that industry has just gotten too hard. I'm not recommending any tech stocks right here. I don't want any tech stocks other than Apple AAPL."

Cheniere Energy LNG: "Oh come on, I recommend all of these great natural gas stocks and you give me that one. You call your broker right now and sell that one!"

Pfizer PFE: "Listen and listen good. Pfizer has no growth, it's losing too many drugs going off patent. Merck MRK is the one you want, Merck must be bought right here, right now."

Micron Technology MU: "No, I've been out of that company since 1994. It's scary. I don't care that its only at $6, stocks can still go lower. You don't touch that."

Schlumberger SLB: "I think you're fine with this one. The CEO said this was a transition year, but I don't know how he could go wrong in this environment."

Visa V: "No, no, no. Take the money and run. I want to hear registers ringing. I want you in Mastercard MA."

Manitowoc MTW: "I liked that quarter, but the Street has turned on that stock and it's still going lower. They need to sell that ice machine business, then I'd be all over it like a cheap suit."

*For all you home-gamers, a 'mon-back opportunity means Cramer would back up the figurative truck and load up on a stock.
