- Jack Willis: I've written a book.
- Ruby Vale: What kind of book?
- Jack Willis: A novel. Anyway, it's got your name on it.
- Ruby Vale: What? A book with me in it?
- Jack Willis: No, a book with your name on it, like on the cover.
- Ruby Vale: Like I wrote it?
- Jack Willis: Yeah.
- Ruby Vale: Why didn't you put your own name on it?
- Jack Willis: It's a... it's a... a romance novel.
- Ziggy Keane: I am just trying to work out whether you're a truck driver who writes books or a writer who drives trucks.
- Ruby Vale: What do I know about writing? You know, I read flying manuals.
- Jack Willis: Rube, this is a trashy romance novel.
- Ruby Vale: You said it was romantic.
- Jack Willis: Whatever. Anyway, blokes aren't meant to write them.
- Ziggy Keane: I need a lift back to town. I've got a flight at 4:00.
- Mad Pete: Yeah. I'll take you, miss.
- Ziggy Keane: Okay, I'll just get my things.
- Mad Pete: Yeah. First thing tomorrow.
- Jack Willis: And you have to watch your mouth. No bloodys, buggers, Jesus...
- Ruby Vale: Fuck. If I can't say bugger or Jesus, what can I say?
- Clive Rooney: [interview on tv] You've had a huge success with this romance novel of yours. What'd you do? Pulling over at truck stops, jotting it down on paper napkins?
- Jack Willis: Yeah, pretty much, I was, actually.
