Quotes 

• Marilyn Lovell : Naturally, it's 13. Why 13?

  Jim Lovell : It comes after 12, hon.

• Henry Hurt : I, uh, I have a request from the news people.

  Marilyn Lovell : Uh-huh?

  Henry Hurt : They're out front here. They want to put a transmitter up on the lawn.

  Marilyn Lovell : Transmitter?

  Henry Hurt : Kind of a tower, for live broadcast.

  Marilyn Lovell : I thought they didn't care about this mission. They didn't even run Jim's show.

  Henry Hurt : Well, it's more dramatic now. Suddenly people are...

  Marilyn Lovell : Landing on the moon wasn't dramatic enough for them - why should NOT landing on it be?

  Henry Hurt : Look, I, um, I realize how hard this is, Marilyn, but the whole world is caught up in this, it's historic-...

  Marilyn Lovell : No, Henry! Those people don't put one piece of equipment on my lawn. If they have a problem with that, they can take it up with my husband. He'll be HOME... on FRIDAY!

• Marilyn Lovell : Blanche, Blanche, these nice young men are going to watch the television with you. This is Neil Armstrong, and this is Buzz... Aldrin.

  Neil Armstrong : Hi.

  Blanche Lovell : Are you boys in the space program too?

• [Jim's daughter wants to go trick-or-treating as a hippie] 

  Barbara Lovell : Dad, can I please wear this?

  Jim Lovell : Sure.

  Marilyn Lovell : Jim!

  Jim Lovell : No! No, absolutely not.

• Marilyn Lovell : [none of the TV networks are showing Apollo 13's TV broadcast]  Do they know they're not on the air?

  Henry Hurt : We'll tell them when they get back.

• Marilyn Lovell : Jeffrey?

  Jeffrey Lovell : Why are so many people here?

  Marilyn Lovell : Well, you know, your dad's flying his mission.

  Jeffrey Lovell : He said he was going to get me a moon rock.

  Marilyn Lovell : Right. Well, something broke on your daddy's spaceship. And he's going to have to turn around before he even gets to the moon.

  Jeffrey Lovell : Was it the door?

• Marilyn Lovell : I can't deal with cleaning up. Let's sell the house.

• Marilyn Lovell : [Barbara has locked herself in her room]  Barbara!

  [Knocks on the door] 

  Marilyn Lovell : Barbara, we're going to hear your father's broadcast!

  Barbara Lovell : No! I'm never coming out! I hate Paul! None of us are ever going to play another one of their records again!

  Susan Lovell : She's still going on about the stupid Beatles breaking up?

  Barbara Lovell : They're not stupid, *you're* stupid!

• Marilyn Lovell : [Jim is standing outside, looking up at the moon, covering and uncovering it with his thumb. Marilyn comes out with a garbage bag]  You're drunk, Lovell.

  Jim Lovell : Yeah, I'm not used to the champagne.

  Marilyn Lovell : Me neither...

  [She picks at a few glasses on a table, then drops the bag in exasperation] 

  Marilyn Lovell : I can't deal with cleaning up, let's sell the house.

  Jim Lovell : All right, we'll sell the house.

  [Still looking up at the moon] 

  Jim Lovell : They're back inside now. Looking up at us. Isn't that something?

  Marilyn Lovell : [Settles into a lawn chair]  I'll bet Jenny Armstrong doesn't get a wink of sleep tonight. When you were on the far side on 8, I didn't sleep at all. I just vacuumed over and over again.

• Henry Hurt : Hey Marylin.

  Marilyn Lovell : Where's their broadcast?

  Henry Hurt : All the networks dumped us. One of them said we made going to the moon as exciting as taking a trip to Pittsburgh.
