Mike Vogel: Dean Lowrey
Quotes
-
Colette Valois : Are we in for some bad weather?
Dean Lowrey : It's October - 'tis the season.
Colette Valois : If you need any help in the cockpit, I do have experience.
Dean Lowrey : So one lesson and now you're the expert?
Colette Valois : Well, experts are only appreciated as much as amateurs - it loses its thrill.
-
Maggie Ryan : [walks along the runway with a flashlight in her right hand, behind Dean, who's pacing] You're counting. Why are you counting?
[Dean doesn't answer, but holds up his left index finger]
Maggie Ryan : The runway - it's too short?
Dean Lowrey : That stays out here.
Maggie Ryan : How could it be too short? Pan Am used to land here all the time!
Dean Lowrey : [lifts her arm by the flashlight and points it toward a large sinkhole] The hurricane left some scars.
Maggie Ryan : How much is gone?
Dean Lowrey : Too much for a loaded 707.
Maggie Ryan : So we can't take off?
[Dean doesn't answer, but walks back toward the plane while Maggie approaches the sinkhole for a better look]
-
Charles Moore : Maybe the cavalry's on their way?
Dean Lowrey : Well, if they're the cavalry, we're the indians.
-
Colette Valois : She doesn't weigh much.
Dean Lowrey : Oh damn it, Colette, I don't have the time, the space or the luxury to take on strays right now.
Colette Valois : Strays? That's how you see orphans?
Dean Lowrey : Oh don't do that. Don't make this about you. How is she, what is she, she's seventeen?
Colette Valois : I didn't realize there was an expiration date.
-
Colette Valois : Quite an evening.
Dean Lowrey : Really? Miss something?
Colette Valois : Some bad weather.
[looks at Dean for a moment, then kisses him]
-
Charles Moore : [flips switches from the left seat] The wind has increased on our tail and the temperature has dropped. We can't take off.
[moves back to his seat]
Ted Vanderway : Cut the pep talk, Chuck.
Dean Lowrey : [bursts into the cockpit and takes the left seat] How's our fuel?
Charles Moore : We've lost 6,000 pounds. Add that to our garage sale and we're down to about 200,000 pounds.
Ted Vanderway : [straps himself in] Still not enough to fit into our prom dress.
Charles Moore : We need to burn more fuel - a lot more.
Dean Lowrey : No, there's no time. Setting brakes.
[sets the brakes]
Dean Lowrey : Setting takeoff thrust.
[sets thrust to maximum]
Ted Vanderway : Takeoff thrust set.
Charles Moore : Captain, it is my duty to tell you that based on FAA rules and regulations, it is too dangerous to take off!
Dean Lowrey : Yeah, noted.
Ted Vanderway : We've taken off from aircraft carriers shorter than this!
Charles Moore : In a fighter jet. A 707 isn't designed to take off like this!
Dean Lowrey : Fighter jets don't have four engines.
Charles Moore : If we don't blow an engine first!
Ted Vanderway : You need to change your diaper, Chuck. I mean, you're embarrassing the navy here.
Charles Moore : Ted, I'm just trying to...
Ted Vanderway : It's not Ted - it's First Officer Vanderway and sitting next to me is Captain Lowrey. He makes the decisions on this aircraft without ANY interference from you! Am I understood?
Charles Moore : Yes, sir!
[Ted and Dean exchange looks]
