Mickey Wright
- Mickey Wright: There we are, me and Miss Ohio, about a mile high, looking down on all these incredible lights, full moon above us, a crowd of people below.
- Sanchez: Yeah, keep goin'...
- Mickey Wright: She looks into my eyes and there's this really heavy vibe going on. Next thing I know the sash comes off, she's unzipping her dress, and her hands are all over me - I mean like *all* over.
- Burns: That's my boy!
- Franklin: I've been on the Ferris wheel back home a thousand times. How come nothing like that ever happened to me?
- Mickey Wright: Oh, sure it did. It was your *own* hands all over you.
- Mickey Wright: [stopped at a light] How's it going, sweetheart?
- Coed: [just raises her middle finger]
- Mickey Wright: I take it, dinner is out.
- Dalton Joiner: Forest should be this next right.
- Coed: Go fuck yourself, baby killer.
- Mickey Wright: Excuse me?
- Dalton Joiner: Let it go.
- Mickey Wright: [driving off] What happened to "Thank you for your service"?
- Dalton Joiner: Do you ever stop to think before you just let your bullshit fly?
- Mickey Wright: No, not really.
- Mickey Wright: You ever had a C-rat?
- Candace: Um, no. I don't, I don't usually eat rats.
- Mickey Wright: So you don't drink, you don't get high, and you don't eat rats. You're not very much fun, are you?
- Mickey Wright: [about war protestors] Don't these people have jobs?
- Candace: Well, let's see, go to work, or protest a war? It's not a tough decision.
- Mickey Wright: Sure, as long as daddy's paying the bills.
- Dalton Joiner: [to party gawkers after a fight] All you freaks can go straight to hell! Move!
- Mickey Wright: Don't worry. I'll put him back together.
- Mickey Wright: [after making love] Someone once told me I'd never forget where I was when they landed on the moon.
- Candace: Well? And he was right.
- Mickey Wright: I couldn't agree more.
- Mickey Wright: First morning I woke up in Vietnam, I saw these amazing red butterflies everywhere. Just for a moment, I forgot where I was. Sometimes I think we're like them. Moving from place to place, no real plan. At least none that you can see.
- Dalton Joiner: You know what would be cool? If Neil and Buzz just decided not to come back. That'd be something.
- Mickey Wright: Yeah. "Neil and Buzz go AWOL. More at 11:00."
- Dalton Joiner: Or better yet, "Neil and Buzz desert."
- Mickey Wright: Excuse me?
- Dalton Joiner: Well, they're right where they've been trying to get all this time. Why go back now?
- Mickey Wright: Well, they can't just stay on the moon, Joiner.
- Dalton Joiner: No, they can't. But we can.
- Candace: I'll go to Canada with you, Mickey.
- Mickey Wright: No, no. I'm not gonna do that to you. You stay here. You end this war. That's what you signed on for.
- [last lines]
- Mickey Wright: [in his letter] Dear Candace, Here I am, back with the guys. But I'm no longer walking in circles. Now, with every step I take, I'm one step closer to you. On this day, July 24th, 1969, our astronauts are home, having completed man's rendezvous with destiny, being the first to dance on the moon. We stand in awe and can only wonder what lies ahead. Good night and pleasant dreams.
