Rupert Cadell: Well well well Kenneth Lawrence, how you've grown.
Kenneth: Hello ,uh, Mr...
Rupert Cadell: Come on, Ken. School's out, you can say it.
Kenneth: Rupert, you're the same as ever. It's awfully good to see you again.
Rupert Cadell: Why?

Rupert Cadell: You're quite a good chicken strangler as I recall.

Sam Burnett: Just one thing, ma'am. If you're dead set on making this trip to Texas, you're going the wrong way.
Martha Evans: Oh, thank you, Mr. Burnett. You are a very capable guide.
Sam Burnett: Well, I can tell north from south.

Shepherd 'Shep' Henderson: Hasn't this cat got anything better to do? Couldn't you give him something to read?

Theodore Honey: I expect for the tail to fall off.


--James Stewart (as ) in No Highway in the Sky

Theodore Honey: I think I know more about this than either you or the captain. I think I know what's going to happen, and if it does happen, at this altitude ther'ell be a little less than three minutes before we hit the water. Now there's one place in this airplane where a personmight stand a chance to survive that impact. Come with me. Now at the first sign of trouble, go in here and sit on the floor with your back against the partition. This partition is very rigid because the stove here is bolted to the floor. I tried to tell Miss Teasdale that because I felt I owed her something.


--James Stewart (as ) in No Highway in the Sky

Theodore Honey: It just folded up! It folded right up and sat down!


--James Stewart (as ) in No Highway in the Sky

Theodore Honey: It's about the condition of this airplane, I'm afraid we're in very serious danger. I'm rather afraid that the tail may drop off at any moment. Now when that happens...
Monica Teasdale: Is that so?
Theodore Honey: Yes. When that happens, there may be a little time to go to the men's room and sit on the floor. The partition there is very rigid because the galley stove is bolted to the floor on the other side. If you survive the first impact, try to get out of the escape hatch and get on a life raft. They may pick you up when they search for us in the morning.
