  Jack Larkin : Then I wouldn't want you to take advantage. Tomorrow night.

• Jack Larkin : Did I miss something?

  Ayn Krywarik : No, I don't think you missed a thing. Listen, I only have a couple of rules in my life, but I try to live by them very strictly. I do not get up from my seat until the aircraft has come to a complete stop. I do not mix business with any other form of entertainment. Some people can do it, and I'm not one of them.

  Jack Larkin : Fair enough. But when the deal's over, I may want to renegotiate.

• Jack Larkin : That's my motto: when all else fails, try to get lucky.

• Ayn Krywarik : This aircraft has not come to a complete stop.

  Jack Larkin : Boy, this better be a good deal.
