Capt. Joe Patroni : Gee, I remember this Eurasian gal. She had these great big blue eyes. They called her the tarantula. You ever run into her?
Capt. Paul Metrand : No, I don't think so.
Capt. Joe Patroni : You'd remember if you did. She was a real ball breaker!

Isabelle : You pilots are such... men.

Capt. Joe Patroni : She's his fourth wife. He always was a horny bastard. There's this story that back in the 20's when he was barnstorming he made a bet that he could put it to this good lookin' wing walker. He boffed her right out on the wing a thousand miles above El Paso. His ass got so sunburned he couldn't sit down a week!

Capt. Joe Patroni : I've flown just about every type of aircraft through three wars and forty pounds. Only thing I'm afraid of is heights. Are you afraid of anything, Metrand?
Capt. Paul Metrand : American pilots.

Capt. Joe Patroni : Goddamnn! He fired one! Missiles at five o'clock! Those missiles have a narrow seeking angle, no more than thirty degrees. If we make enough violent maneuvers we may be able to cause a fly-by. Son of a bitch!

Isabelle : [to Metrand; angry tone] Je te remercie! On peut avoir confiance en toi!
[subtitle translation: Thanks a lot! You can have confidence in you!]
Capt. Joe Patroni : What did she say?
Capt. Paul Metrand : Probably the same as you say in English.
