- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: [Jim and Anna, flying their jets together] The temperature's starting to rise in my tailpipe!
- Col. Jim Shannon: You probably have two burners going. Open your throttle another crack.
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: They're all burning now. Should I try full power?
- Col. Jim Shannon: Go ahead!
- [She does]
- Col. Jim Shannon: You're all right! Pour on the coal and head for home!
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: Is this a collision course I'm flying?
- Col. Jim Shannon: Drop your dive brakes. You're right on top of it.
- Col. Jim Shannon: [At the Vienna restaurant, Anna leans in to kiss Jum] Wipe your chin!
- [She does, and they kiss, as the scene fades to mark the end of the film]
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: [Jim and Anna flying jets together, following a complicated maneuver...] That turn of yours... I wish you'd shown me how to do it!
- Col. Jim Shannon: You can show me a few things, too!
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: I don't think so. You were the best I ever saw.
- Col. Jim Shannon: Then how come you got underneath me?
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: Just a trick.
- Col. Jim Shannon: How'd you do it?
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: I'll tell you if you show me how to do that tight turn!
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: Have you had many of them?
- Col. Jim Shannon: Many what?
- Lt. Anna Marladovna Shannon: Women.
