- First Officer Roger Pettit: This is it. This is a losing battle trying to de-ice these things. It gives you a false feeling of security, that's all it does.
- Captain Larry Wheaton: Yeah, but it satisfies the Feds.

- David Frank: The rising executive's all-purpose wardrobe. Ideal for staff meetings, impressing the clients...
- Marilyn Nichols: You're here before me? I don't believe it!
- Donna Adams: The first time and probably the last! I can't explain it. It was like any other morning. I figured to be late as usual. But I got a clean road right away, the car turned on immediately, and there was no back of traffic. It's an unusual day.
- [Marilyn has the glow of a pregnant woman]
- Donna Adams: So, are you?
- Marilyn Nichols: Am I what?

- Donna Olian: [answers the phone at work] Naval recruitment?
- Roger Olian: Welfare. Go home.
- Donna Olian: [smiles] Is that an order?
- Roger Olian: Yeah, because if you don't get moving out, the way it's coming down, you may get snowed in.
- Donna Olian: And saved by 200 able-bodied seamen?
- Roger Olian: Of course, if that appeals to you.
- Donna Olian: [chuckles] I'm on my way. What about you?
- Roger Olian: First, I've got to exercise.
- Donna Olian: [rolls her eyes] Goodbye, Roger.
- Marilyn Nichols: [referring to Priscilla's baby] How old is he?
- Priscilla Tirado: Nine weeks.
- Marilyn Nichols: He's beautiful! Give me a call if you need anything.
- Jose Tirado: Okay.
- Priscilla Tirado: Thanks.
- Jose Tirado: [after Marilyn leaves] Nice person.
- Priscilla Tirado: I bet she's pregnant. Or hope she is.
- Jose Tirado: And how do you know that?
- Priscilla Tirado: Just do. When you've been a mother as long as I have, you just know these things!

- Captain Larry Wheaton: Yeah it is.
- [referring to the airspeed indicator]
- Captain Larry Wheaton: There's 80.
- First Officer Roger Pettit: Nah, I don't think that's right.
- [pause]
- First Officer Roger Pettit: Maybe it is.
- Captain Larry Wheaton: 120!
- First Officer Roger Pettit: I don't know!
- Captain Larry Wheaton: V1! Easy! V2!
- [the stickshaker starts]
- Captain Larry Wheaton: [yelling] Forward! Forward! We only need 500! Come on! Come on! Just barely climb!
- First Officer Roger Pettit: [struggling with the controls] Come on, baby! Come on!
- [pause]
- First Officer Roger Pettit: Larry! We're going down!
- Captain Larry Wheaton: I know it.
- [crash]
