Great Lines

Last week some organization listed the best lines of all time from movies. A writer in my local paper followed up with his and readers favorites. Nothing from TRS! And this movie had some GREAT lines: Everything from "Spam in a can" to "No bucks, no Buck Rogers!" to "Who's the greatest pilot you ever saw?" to "Please, Lord, don't let me F-up" to dozens of others. If you like great one liners, TRS has them; another reason this movie is so good and still talked about all these years later. Even message boards such as this continue to generate posts despite the age of the movie.

they didn't spend a penny to teach me how to be the wife of a fearless test pilot.

I did not save the boy, God did. I only CARRIED him.

"You're all set. I told her you were stable, well-adjusted, attentive, persevering. I lied."
"Attagirl!"

"You got your prime pilots who get all the hot planes, and you got your pudknockers who dream about getting the hot planes... now what are you two pudknockers gonna have?"
"Um... scotch."

"You ever been caught out in the desert alone?"
"I never have. I don't think I ever will. Never did meet the man who could catch me out there."
"I'm half jackrabbit"
"Forget it, flyboy. You'd never catch me."
"I believe I will."
"Can't be done."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Forget it, sweetie. She's his wife."

The restitution of life is no great feat. A variety of deaths may well enter into your punishment

Nurse Murch looming over Hot Dog while we see him reflected and looking tiny in her glasses. "Please return it to the lab." Yikes! But I always thought she was kinda hot in a chilling way.
