"Randy Britton: Are you crying? What's the matter? Tonie Carter: It's just my special reaction to beauty and alcohol."

"Paul Turner: Besides, fliers aren't good for women -- ever. Tonie Carter: Oh, I know. Every flier's married to his plane. Paul Turner: Not quite that bad. But they never know what's going on inside of other people. How can they? They live 10,000 feet up in a world entirely their own. Any girl's safer to leave them there. Tonie Carter: Dad always used to say, when you're safe... you're dead."
