• Curtis : [to Donna]  I made a big mistake when I gave up flying. Maybe I'm one of those people who has to back away from things to see them clearly. Because once I'm up in that plane, all by myself, I can look down and see things as they really are - in their true proportions. The big and important things look big. And the little, dirty things look like... just that.

• Gobby : I want you to invest in something terrific.

  Curtis : Invest in what?

  Gobby : In me, of course. I want to have a one-man show late this summer. August, maybe. It'll cost about 500 dollars. But what's money?

  Curtis : Mine or yours?

  Gobby : Yours, of course. I have none.

  Curtis : [smiling]  Well, don't be so smug about it.
