• Joe Pedowski : You're gonna try to fly this thing back?

  Captain Cody Briggs : Joe, did you ever skip a flat rock across a lake and watch it skim and bounce along the surface? I wanna give reentry that kind of shot.

  Joe Pedowski : I have skipped a few rocks on a few lakes in my time and I never saw yet one that didn't sink. It's one chance in a million.

  Captain Cody Briggs : So was this accident.

  Joe Pedowski : I am scared out of my mind being up here inside this plane and you want me to go outside?

  [laughs nervously] 

  Joe Pedowski : oh no!

  [pause] 

  Joe Pedowski : I'll need a wire stripper and some wire nuts... and a dry pair of pants when I get back.

  Joe Pedowski : cannot unselect the speaker.

• Captain Cody Briggs : Every 45 minutes, turn the lights on... turn the lights off. That's about all the entertainment there is on this multi-million-dollar flying coffin...

  Erica Hansen : It is not a flying coffin... we we'll get back to Earth!
