Die den Hals riskieren

Mike Rettig: [softly] Tomorrow, when we leave here, I want you to come with me.
Elizabeth Brandon: [clearly surprised at the request] Come with you?
Mike Rettig: Yes.
Elizabeth Brandon: [she makes some low sounds, and he moves toward her] Do you always offer so much more than you're asked for?
Mike Rettig: Only to those who ask so much less than they want.

V. John Brandon: What I don't understand is, why you do this thing at all.
Joe Browdy: To me, it's a business.
V. John Brandon: And you, Mr. Rettig? What's it to you? If you don't mind my asking.
Mike Rettig: I had a friend in the Army, a sergeant, a parachutist for about twenty years. He used to say that jumping was not only a way to live, but also a way to die. Damn few things are.

Joe Browdy: We'll be jumping from a Howard DGA-15. "DGA": that stands for "Damn Good Airplane", which if course it is. Very tricky to land though. Heh heh. You're much better off jumping out if it than you are taking a chance on landing in it. This one's in good shape.
Malcolm Webson: To Browdy, a airplane is in good shape if it has wings and a prop.

Joe Browdy: Look, kid, this is a business. They don't pay to watch us walk across the street. Now, when are yuh gonna get that through your head? If you're so concerned with Rettig doing the jump, I mean, you can learn it yourself. Then you wouldn't have to worry about him.
Malcolm Webson: I have a better idea. Why don't you do it?
Joe Browdy: Because I recognize my limitations. It's the secret to my success in life.

Joe Browdy: Hey Kid... Next time you get in an airplane, make sure it's got a door on it!

Malcolm Webson: Remember what you always said when I first started with you? "Be careful." That's what you always said. "That's what's important in this business kid. BE careful."
Mike Rettig: Is that what I always said?
Malcolm Webson: Why are you taking so many chances now? What are you trying to prove?

Elizabeth Brandon: I imagine you're the sort of man who always manages to find the best and rightest reasons for everything you do. Do you think that's possible for everyone?
Mike Rettig: I'm always hopeful.

V. John Brandon: We have a college. We have a college and a missile base - typical little American town.

Malcolm Webson: [to Browdy] Sometimes I think you have a cash register for a head.

Malcolm Webson: [Browdy has dropped Malcolm off at the train station] What are you going to do, Browdy?
Joe Browdy: Well, I thought I might head west. I've been thinking about that a lot lately... I think I might just head west. But you never can tell what might turn up. Right?
Malcolm Webson: You don't mind my not staying, do you? For tomorrow? I...
Joe Browdy: Get lost, will ya'?
[Malcolm turns and heads into the station]
Joe Browdy: Hey, kid? Next time you get in an airplane, make sure it's got a door on it.
[Browdy grins and drives off]

Elizabeth Brandon: [talking about the upcoming parachute performance] It really does sound very exciting.
Mike Rettig: You said it was terrifying.
Elizabeth Brandon: Yes... Well, I suppose in a way that's what makes it exciting, isn't it?
Elizabeth Brandon: [Rettig remains silent as she continues] Most ordinary people can't help but respond to the idea of some excitement in their lives, you know?
Mike Rettig: Even if it terrifies them?
Elizabeth Brandon: Yes. Exactly.

Elizabeth Brandon: You're very direct, aren't you?
Mike Rettig: Not very subtle, you mean.
Elizabeth Brandon: No, I didn't say that. I think you are subtle, but in a direct sort of way.

Malcolm Webson: [having listened to her practicing the piano] You play very well.
Annie Burke: Thank you. But, you're either very kind, or you know nothing at all about playing the piano.
Malcolm Webson: No, I don't know very much about it. But I do know when it sounds good.

Malcolm Webson: You came *too* damned close before you opened your chute!
Mike Rettig: [gestures to the lively crowd in the bleachers] They came for a show. Listen to 'em, kid!
Malcolm Webson: They'll settle for a lot less than you're giving them.
Mike Rettig: You never can tell *what* they'll settle for - until you've tried it!

Joe Browdy: You just describe what you see and add a little color. Use your imagination.
Dick Donford: [from the local radio station] All right. I've done a lot of sports events, you know, basketball games - that sort of stuff.
Joe Browdy: That's right, just call it like a basketball game.

Joe Browdy: [over the public address system about his costume which fell off during a skydive] Oh, uh, incidentally, there's a reward for that, uh, jump suit. Anybody finding that jump suit gets a free parachute jump.
[there are groans and chuckles from the crowd]

V. John Brandon: Pays well, then, this sort of thing?
Joe Browdy: If we make it interesting enough.
Elizabeth Brandon: Oh? How do you do that?
Joe Browdy: Make it interesting?
Elizabeth Brandon: Yes, I mean, I shouldn't think you'd have to do anything in particular to make it more interesting than it is to begin with.
Mike Rettig: What Browdy means is the closer we come to the ground - the more interesting it is for the customers. And for us too, of course.
Elizabeth Brandon: [pause] How terrifying.

Joe Browdy: I'll tell you one thing, though: She's one good-looking woman. Class.

Joe Browdy: [observing a stripper at "The Paradise"] That doesn't look like small-town stuff to me.

Joe Browdy: What is your name?
Waitress: Mary.
Joe Browdy: You're kidding?
Waitress: No. And if you say anything about my being contrary or how my garden grows, I scream.
Joe Browdy: I love her, I really do. Will you marry me?

Malcolm Webson: Maybe you'll forget the cape stunt tomorrow, huh?
Mike Rettig: Might not be a bad day for it, if the air is damp, heavier. A slower descent.
Malcolm Webson: By how much? A couple of seconds? What does that matter? You can only stay up so long. Then you have to come down, right?
Mike Rettig: That's right.
Malcolm Webson: Sometimes I think you hate to come back to the ground at all.

Elizabeth Brandon: The merciful stranger come to save me from the terrible boredom and lovelessness of my life. Is that what you think you are?
Mike Rettig: I'm only offering you a way out.
Elizabeth Brandon: I don't want a way out!
Mike Rettig: Well, then, that's the difference. You have to want it.
