- Barbara Bruce: [resignedly] You're staying.
- Cal Bruce: I guess old Smokestack's right this time. We've handled these diploma boys before, you know. He'll learn soon enough to stay out of our way.
- Barbara Bruce: Well... alright. But you've got to promise me one thing. If this man turns out to be impossible, we're leaving. I'm not go to let anyone push you around.
- Cal Bruce: Have you ever seen anyone push me around... except you and your mother?
- Cal Bruce: Someday, I'm going to take a ten pound sledge to that pipe... and I hope it's in your mouth when I do.
- Smokestack: I've been waiting for you to try that for twenty-two years, you miserable Irish polecat.
- Cal Bruce: You're fired!
- Smokestack: Ha!
- Smokestack, Barbara Bruce: You can't fire me, I quit two hours ago!
- Smokestack: It looks like we're already in the war everybody keeps talking about.
- Capt. John Nelson: No, this is worse than war. In a war, at least you know who you're fighting.
- Barbara Bruce: What's the sense in worrying about something that might not happen?
- Cal Bruce: Well, if we worry enough maybe it won't happen.
