Quotes
-
Topper Harley : I could never find time for love. It's too heavy. It's an anchor that drowns a man. Besides, I got the sky, the smell of jet exhaust, my bike.
Pete 'Dead Meat' Thompson : A loner?
Topper Harley : No. I own it.

Pete 'Dead Meat' Thompson : [Dead Meat and Mary kiss hello] Mary, have you come to watch me fly?
Mary Thompson : There was a meltdown at the plant, so they gave me the afternoon off.
'Dead Meat' : Aw, terrific!
[a black cat crosses their path]
Mary : Oh, good news: we just closed escrow on our little dream house.
'Dead Meat' : Wonderful! When do we move in?
Mary : Tuesday. I've got the kids stripping asbestos off the pipes right now.
'Dead Meat' : Aw, that's great.
[Dead Meat walks under a ladder]
'Dead Meat' : Things just couldn't be better for us! I'm so blessed.
Mary : Oh, your life insurance forms came for you to sign.
[Mary opens her purse, and a mirror falls out and breaks]
Mary : My mirror!
'Dead Meat' : [Deadmeat shakes pen because it won't write] Huh.
Mary : I'll get another pen.
'Dead Meat' : No need. I'll sign it when I get back.
Mary : Well you know best.
'Dead Meat' : Honey, you know that global warming problem? Well I've discovered how we can reverse it.
Mary : Tell me!
'Dead Meat' : No, not now, Lovey Bumpers. There'll be plenty of time for that later. And my investigation into the assassination of JFK...
Mary : You found the evidence you were looking for?
'Dead Meat' : Yes, I have proof. It's right here in my pocket.
[Dead Meat climbs into the cockpit]
'Dead Meat' : It's big, honey. Really big. It goes all the way to the White House.
Mary : Do you want me to hold it for you?
'Dead Meat' : No, it'll be safe right here. I'm in a jet. What could go wrong?
Mary : Oh, Dead Meat. We just couldn't be any more perfectly happy.
[Dead Meat and Mary blow kisses at each other, catch the air kisses, and put them in their pockets]

Jim 'Wash Out' Pfaffenbach : I just got kicked out of the unit. My flight status has been withdrawn. I'm through, Dead Meat!
Pete 'Dead Meat' Thompson : What happened?
Jim 'Wash Out' Pfaffenbach : It's my eyes. I've got walleye-vision.
Pete 'Dead Meat' Thompson : Isn't there something that can be done?
Jim 'Wash Out' Pfaffenbach : Well, there's a delicate corneal inversion procedure... a multi-opti-pupil-optomy. But, in order to keep from damaging the eye sockets, they've got to go in through the rectum. Ain't no man going to take that route with me!
