Great lines from the film


Frank: Damn good cup of coffee, Bob.

reply

(After offering a solution)

Frank: Clock's ticking, Bob. And I'm only getting older.

reply

(After asking Tank to join the space mission)

Tank: I'm gonna need to pray about this.

Frank: Well, could it be a quick prayer?

reply

Jerry: What did you have for breakfast, Frank?

Frank: Let's see, I had vegetarian huevos rancheros, egg whites only, of course, and some sort of a filtered decaf cappuccino that tasted like it was filtered through a jockstrap.

reply

(After Jerry puts on a pair of glasses)

Frank: You don't need those, do ya?

Jerry: What? No. Just to read, drive, go to the movies. Walk, you know.

reply

(Jerry meets Sara and instantly falls in love.)

Jerry: Would you like a banana, honey?

reply

(Frank gets into an arguement in a bar. The guy Frank's arguing with threatens to hospitalize him)

Frank: Well, I've got Medicare. Shoot your best shot.

reply

(Ethan is insulted by Frank's attack on his intelligence.)

Ethan: Excuse me, I hold two Master's degrees from M.I.T, Dr. Corvin.

Frank: Well, maybe you ought to get your money back.

reply

(Ethan tells Frank that he's on a "need-to-know" basis)

Frank: You don't need to know dick.

reply

(After Hawk is diagnosed with cancer, he and Frank discuss if the mission should be done without him)

Frank: Well, what would you do?

Hawk: I'd leave your ass on the ground in a heartbeat.

Frank: I'll bet you would

Hawk: To go into space? Hell yes. You bet your ass. (pauses) In a heartbeat.

reply

(Aboard the Space Shuttle, just before take-off)

Frank: Reverend Tank, do you think a prayer's in order?

Tank: I was just reciting the Shepherd's Prayer...Alan Shepherd's prayer.
O Lord, please don't let us screw up.

reply

(Upon being blasted into space after a 40 year wait)

Tank: Thank you, God!

reply

(Jerry's dentures won't stay in his mouth correctly)

Jerry: Damn teeth won't stay in.

Frank:(disgusted) Damn, Jerry.






*I'll roll you up like a Philly blunt and smoke your bitch ass! *

reply

I liked the whole exchange with the line:

"Asymmetrical sagging ass"

"Bring your guitar...and the thing that makes it go 'wah...wah wah wah wah wah.'"

reply

I like the entire exchange.

Hawk: (looking at Jerry)
"What are you doing?"
Jerry: "Huh?"
Hawk: "What....are you doing?"
Jerry: "My damned...teeff won't...ftay in...."
Frank: "Damn, Jerry"

"When I found out that I'd been cloned; I was just beside myself."

reply

(at the steak bar,after the talk with Hawk)

"You still drive slower than a lil old woman going to the church house!"

reply

Hawk:
"Houston, Horizon"
Controller:
"Go ahead, Horizon...."
Hawk:
"Request secondary landing"
pause
"HOUSTON, Horizon; request on board computer FAILURE on second landing.

Later

Hawk:
"Smooth as a baby's ass"
Roger:
"That was impossible"
Hawk:
"Well for a computer, it might be"
pause
"Flyin' brick.......I like that"

"When I found out that I'd been cloned; I was just beside myself."

reply

Hawk: Y'all notice how everyone seems to be dead lately?

reply

(after Tank & Hawk show off lifing weights in the gym)

Hawk: I'm going back to my room now and cry.

reply

Frank Corvin: This is Jerry O'Neill.
Sara Holland: No nickname for you?
Jerry O'Neill: You can call me
[kisses her hand]
Jerry O'Neill: anytime.

It occurs to me that all these guys on this board complaining about how "unrealistic" it is a younger woman could be interested in these "old geezers" are the same guys who desperately need to take some lessons from men like this in good old fashioned charm.

reply

....you said it!! these guys are tough, but they have manners and know how to treat a lady properly, even Jerry with his one track mind! (BTW, i LOVE Hawk! he is the most fun of the foursome!^_^)

(Upon approaching Ikon)
Hawk: Yeah, I can get us in there. I'm just worried about the mass.

Frank:I'm just worried about this thing getting pissed again.

reply

'I may be blind Frank, but my memory is perfect. P L E P T...'

I thought Sutherland absolutely nailed that scene!
