Marjorie Corder:
If you believe something is right, you have to do something if you want to live with yourself. If you don't, you'll have to pay for it sooner or later.

Marjorie Corder:
Just what was it that you think you did wrong? You did think there'd be a crash didn't you?
Theodore Honey: Yes but what I should have done is offer my hypothesis to the captain in an orderly manner and let him make his own decision but I didn't do that. No, when they wouldn't listen to me I kept thinking about you lying dead in Labrador like that other stewardess and Miss Teasdale, and all the rest of them and I wasn't orderly at all. not at all and the lever was right th ere so I *keh* pulled it. Marjorie Corder: Amd that seemed wrong to you. Theodore Honey: Of course it seemed wrong. How is anybody going to take my work seriously if I go around doing things like that? you know they're saying that I'm crazy now? And I don't blame them. Marjorie Corder: You don't mean that if you had it all to do again, you'd just let it go ahead and crash. Theodore Honey: That's just the point, I'd probably do it all again.

Marjorie Corder:
Miss Tesdale, would you like your coffee in your own seat?
Monica Teasdale: No, put it over here. Oh as a matter of fact, let's go back there where we won't wake anybody no matter how much we talk. That way i can say my prayers if I feel like it.

Marjorie Corder:
The altitutde, Miss Teasdale, sometimes causes a highly nervous state in certain passengers. I'm sure it had that effect on Mister Honey for a while but he's quiet now.
Monica Teasdale: That's more than I am. There's about to be another passenger on this plane in a highly nervous state.

Marjorie Corder:
What happeend?
Theodore Honey: Nothing, nothing happened at all, my figures clearly said that the tail should fall off and the tail didn't fall off. It's 7% above my figure, it didn't fall off. Marjorie Corder: Oh I'm sorry, what happens now? Theodore Honey: I've been thinking about that on the way home, I'll go to the inquery and stand up and I'll explain my figures to a group of very angry men and they'll reject the whole thing. I'll sit down, I'll sit down and listen to them say that I'm insane because of what I did in Gander, and perhaps I am, I'm not sure you know. A wualified psychiatrist will testify to that, I talked to 3 of them this afternoon, no that was yesterday, wasn't it? They showed me a page of ink blots and asked me if it reminded me of elephants and tigers, I said no it didn't remind me of elephants and ti - they were just ink blots.

Monica Teasdale:
All the people who'll come to my funeral, that'll be quite an occasion.
Theodore Honey: Do you have a family, Miss Teasdale? Monica Teasdale: No, not even a husband at the moment, but there's my agent. oh he'll be so sad, he had five more years at 10%. Then there's Lorene Calvart, oh she'll cry the most. She'll give a beautiful performance, and then she'll try to get the part in the picture I was going to make. I suppose that's why I don't feel the way I thought I would.

All those people there, makes you wonder which one you would pick out to save if you were God, which one would matter much?

Monica Teasdale:
He told me to sit on the floor in the men's room. If that's not an odd idea I'd like to meet one.
Marjorie Corder: I think he was just telling you the best place to be if there was an accident. Monica Teasdale: At this altitude? Marjorie Corder: I think he's right about it being the safest place. Monica Teasdale: If he's right about that, he may be right about the tail falling off.
