- Joe Browdy: We'll be jumping from a Howard DGA-15. "DGA": that stands for "Damn Good Airplane", which if course it is. Very tricky to land though. Heh heh. You're much better off jumping out if it than you are taking a chance on landing in it. This one's in good shape.
- Malcolm Webson: To Browdy, a airplane is in good shape if it has wings and a prop.
- Joe Browdy: Look, kid, this is a business. They don't pay to watch us walk across the street. Now, when are yuh gonna get that through your head? If you're so concerned with Rettig doing the jump, I mean, you can learn it yourself. Then you wouldn't have to worry about him.
- Malcolm Webson: I have a better idea. Why don't you do it?
- Joe Browdy: Because I recognize my limitations. It's the secret to my success in life.
- Malcolm Webson: Remember what you always said when I first started with you? "Be careful." That's what you always said. "That's what's important in this business kid. BE careful."
- Mike Rettig: Is that what I always said?
- Malcolm Webson: Why are you taking so many chances now? What are you trying to prove?
- Malcolm Webson: [Browdy has dropped Malcolm off at the train station] What are you going to do, Browdy?
- Joe Browdy: Well, I thought I might head west. I've been thinking about that a lot lately... I think I might just head west. But you never can tell what might turn up. Right?
- Malcolm Webson: You don't mind my not staying, do you? For tomorrow? I...
- Joe Browdy: Get lost, will ya'?
- [Malcolm turns and heads into the station]
- Joe Browdy: Hey, kid? Next time you get in an airplane, make sure it's got a door on it.
- [Browdy grins and drives off]
- Malcolm Webson: [having listened to her practicing the piano] You play very well.
- Annie Burke: Thank you. But, you're either very kind, or you know nothing at all about playing the piano.
- Malcolm Webson: No, I don't know very much about it. But I do know when it sounds good.
- Malcolm Webson: You came *too* damned close before you opened your chute!
- Mike Rettig: [gestures to the lively crowd in the bleachers] They came for a show. Listen to 'em, kid!
- Malcolm Webson: They'll settle for a lot less than you're giving them.
- Mike Rettig: You never can tell *what* they'll settle for - until you've tried it!
- Malcolm Webson: Maybe you'll forget the cape stunt tomorrow, huh?
- Mike Rettig: Might not be a bad day for it, if the air is damp, heavier. A slower descent.
- Malcolm Webson: By how much? A couple of seconds? What does that matter? You can only stay up so long. Then you have to come down, right?
- Mike Rettig: That's right.
- Malcolm Webson: Sometimes I think you hate to come back to the ground at all.
