Kid Dabb
- Kid Dabb: The boat doesn't stop at Santa Maria this trip.
- Geoff Carter: Why not?
- Kid Dabb: They have no bananas.
- Geoff Carter: They have no bananas?
- Kid Dabb: Yes, they have no bananas.
- Bonnie Lee: Say, isn't that girl the one he used to be in love with?
- Kid Dabb: Bonnie, when it rains, every third drop falls on one of them.
- Bonnie Lee: They must love it. Flying, I mean.
- Sparks, radioman: Why do you think they come down to this kind of a place?
- Bonnie Lee: It's like being in love with a buzz saw.
- Sparks, radioman: Not much future in it.
- Bonnie Lee: What is there about it that gets them?
- Sparks, radioman: I'm not a flyer myself. Hey, you'd better ask the Kid. Miss Lee. Mr. Dabb.
- Bonnie Lee: How d'you do?
- Sparks, radioman: She wants to know why you like flying.
- Kid Dabb: I've been in it 22 years, Miss Lee. I couldn't give you an answer that would make any sense. What's so funny about that?
- Bonnie Lee: That's what my dad used to say.
- Kid Dabb: Flyer?
- Bonnie Lee: No, trapeze. High stuff. He wouldn't use a net.
- Sparks, radioman: Not much future in that, either.
- Bonnie Lee: Yes. We found that out.
- Bonnie Lee: You love him, don't you, Kid?
- Kid Dabb: Yes, I guess I do.
- Bonnie Lee: Why can't I love him the way you do? Why couldn't I sneer when he tries to kill himself, feel proud when he doesn't? Why couldn't I be there to meet him when he gets back? Why couldn't I... What do you do when he doesn't come back when you expect him to?
- Kid Dabb: I go nuts.
- Bonnie Lee: Gee whiz, you're a great help.
- Kid Dabb: [watching Geoff try to land a damaged plane] He's gonna try to land!
- Mike: He can't make it.
- Les Peters: Not with that tail all smashed up. Not in a million years.
- Kid Dabb: Get set for the crash, Mike!
- Bonnie Lee: Why doesn't he jump?
- Kid Dabb: Why? Why should he? He's made of rubber, he is. He wants to hit the ground to see how high he can bounce!
