Quotes 

• Tony Villicana : Shakespeare? What are you, crazy? Those guys running around in tights? I ain't puttin' on no long johns.

  Ralph Hinkley : I know how you feel about that, Tony.

• Bill Maxwell : Freeze, Davidson. You're in this. I've been giving you a lot of thought.

  Pam Davidson : "Freeze, Davidson"?

  Bill Maxwell : From time to time we're gonna need a utility man. You know, third-string backup. When that happens, we call you. Maybe you'll start out bringing us coffee and burgers, but uh, you'll work your way up. Later on I'll let you handle some easy field work, how's that?

  Pam Davidson : A utility what? That goes and gets what?

  Ralph Hinkley : It's not as much fun when he spills over onto you, is he?

  Pam Davidson : I am not going to run your errands for you, Bill.

  Bill Maxwell : Counselor, we can't go blabbing this thing all over everybody. So far, you're the only person knows Ralph's got the suit. It's gotta stay that way.

  Pam Davidson : I hate this.

  Ralph Hinkley : There is a certain moronic logic to that.

• [Ralph sneezes] 

  Bill Maxwell : Ralph, you all right?

  Ralph Hinkley : Oh yeah, I'm fine. The ocean is ice cold, that's all. Let me tell you something, Bill, I'm through flying. I'm handing in my little aviator's badge. I'll stick with speed running, the holographic vision stuff that doesn't make me crazy.

  Bill Maxwell : Boy, I really hate a quitter. You fly great, it's just your landings, need a little work. So, we'll get out on Saturday. We'll take a lunch maybe do a few touch and goes, work out the kinks. I'll help ya.

  Ralph Hinkley : Oh yeah, what're you gonna do? Run around underneath me stringing nets, so I don't get hurt?

  Bill Maxwell : No, I'm not gonna string nets. I'm gonna try and find out why you can't fly straight. Ralph, if you don't fly, we're outta business.

• Ralph Hinkley : You gotta remember this is not like in the comic books. I mean, I have responsibilities. I have people who depend on me. I can't just be expected to duck into a phone booth and wham, bam, pass the jam!
