Quotes 

• Phineas Bogg : We gotta stop those marriages.

  Jeffrey Jones : No, just one of them. Alexandra is supposed to marry Tsar Nicholas.

  Phineas Bogg : Well then it's Princess Victoria and her Duke who won't be hearing wedding bells.

• Phineas Bogg : [about the Russian Duke]  Well one thing's for sure, the Princess doesn't want to marry him.

  Jeffrey Jones : She may not have to. The Aide said the betrothal might not come off unless the Duke wins the match.

  Phineas Bogg : That's not much to hang our hats on.

  Jeffrey Jones : Right. Buffalo Bill did ask Annie to throw it.

  Phineas Bogg : Yeah?

  Jeffrey Jones : Yeah. Something about the Duke being humiliated in front of the Queen if Annie wins.

  Phineas Bogg : What's so humiliating about losing to Annie? Everybody knows what a good shot she is.

  Jeffrey Jones : In 1887, women weren't supposed to beat men at anything.

  Phineas Bogg : So Annie beats the Duke and the Queen gives back the Princess's hand.

• Jeffrey Jones : These landings start to get to you after a while.

  Phineas Bogg : Hard landings are an occupational hazard. We had a saying in Voyager School. "It's not where you land, but how you land that counts."

• Dr. Albert Schweitzer : I do miss Germany. But Africa has become my heart's home. For it is here I have learned the true meaning of "Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben".

  Jeffrey Jones : What does that mean?

  Dr. Albert Schweitzer : Reverence for life.

  Jeffrey Jones : [later, as Bogg and Jeffrey are leaving the village]  Well, you saved the Chief and Dr Schweitzer.

  Phineas Bogg : Yeah, he's quite a guy.

  Jeffrey Jones : Yeah. He told me about this idea of his: Reverence for life.

  Phineas Bogg : Oh yeah? "Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben"?

  Jeffrey Jones : Yeah.
