• Sgt. McClusky : You know I'm beginning to like you.

  Hap Smith : You are? Is that good?

  Sgt. McClusky : Yeah! And I'm gonna let you in on a little secret.

  Hap Smith : What?

  Sgt. McClusky : I'm not half as tough as I sound.

  Hap Smith : You're not?

  Sgt. McClusky : Nah! It's just something that comes over me. Sometimes I think I'm my own worst enemy.

  Hap Smith : No, you're not, Sarge. Not as long as I'm alive.

• Chick Allen : There's nothing to it. You get on a plane, you go up 20,000 feet, jump out, and your chute opens automatically.

  Hap Smith : Yeah? What if it doesn't open?

  Chick Allen : Then you pull your reserve parachute.

  Hap Smith : What if that doesn't open?

  Chick Allen : Well, we haven't had a complaint yet... from a guy whose shoot didn't open.
