June:
Received your message. We can hear you. Are you wounded? Repeat. Are you wounded? Are you bailing out?
Peter: What's your name? June: June. Peter: Yes June, I'm bailing out. I'm bailing out but there's a catch, I've got no parachute.

Child, where were you born?

You claim you love her.
Peter: I do love her! Abraham Farlan: Can you prove it? Peter: Well give me time, sir. Fifty years will do. Abraham Farlan: But can you prove it? Peter: Well, can a starving man prove he's hungry except by eating? Abraham Farlan: Would you die for her? Peter: I would, but, er, I'd rather live.

Peter:
"Give me my scallop-shell of quiet, My staff of faith to walk upon, My scrip of joy, immortal diet, My bottle of salvation, My gown of glory, hope's true gage; And thus I'll take my pilgrimage." Sir Walter Raleigh wrote that. I'd rather have written that than flown through Hitler's legs!

Peter:
Don't be upset about the parachute, I'll have my wings soon anyway, big white ones. I hope it hasn't gone all modern, I'd hate to have a prop instead of wings!

Peter:
Look at her.
Bob: Holy smoke! She looks like a nice girl. Doctor Frank Reeves: She is a nice girl. Bob: Hardly your type, Skip. Peter: I've fallen in love with her. Her accent is foreign, but it sounds sweet to me. We were born thousands of miles apart, but we were made for each other.
