- Tod Waggner: We say that the hour of death cannot be forecast. But when we say this, we imagine that the hour is placed in an obscure and distant future. It never occurs to us that it has any connection with the day already begun, or that death could arrive this same afternoon - this afternoon which is so certain, and which has every hour filled in advance.
- Terry: I'm moving on, Carter. And if you want to waste your life beating the shit out of Alex every time you see him then you can just drop fucking dead!
- Bludworth: [to Alex] You've already done that by walking off the plane. Your friend's departure shows that death has a new design for all of you. Now you have to figure out how and when it's coming back at you. Play your hunch, Alex. If you think you can get away with it. But remember the risk of cheating the plan, of disrespecting the design... could initiate a fury that would terrorize even the Grim Reaper. And you don't even want to fuck with that MacDaddy.
- Tod Waggner: Alex. Let's go take a shit.
- Alex Browning: Take a shit by yourself.
- Tod Waggner: No, dude. Listen okay. Listen. Take some knowledge. We're about to board a seven hour flight. The toilets in coach are barely ventilated closets. Alright, if that. Now lets say half way through the flight, right, your body wants that airplane food out. You got to go torque a wicked cable. Then directly after you, walks in Christa or Blake.
- [Alex and Tod look at Christa and Blake, who are sitting down reading magazines]
- Tod Waggner: You want them to associate you with that watery sting in their eye? That reflexive gag at the back of their throat?
- Bludworth: What you have to realize is that we're just a mouse that a cat has by the tail, every single move we make from the mundane to the monumental, the red light that we stop at or run, the people we have sex with or won't with us, the airplanes that we ride or walk out of, it's all part of Death's sadistic design. Leading to the grave.
- [in Carter's car]
- Billy Hitchcock: Stay below the speed limit. And, oh: don't pass on the right.
- Carter: Wait a minute. I'm havin' a vision here.
- [to Billy]
- Carter: You're the next one man.
- Billy Hitchcock: Hey, man. Why'd you say something like that?
- Carter: Because if you don't shut up, *I'm* gonna fuckin' kill you!
- Alex Browning: [describing his premonition] I saw it. Like, I don't know I just saw it. I saw it on the runway, I saw it take off. I saw out my window. I saw the ground. And the cabin starts to shake, right? And the left side blows up and the whole plane just explodes! And it was so real, just how everything happens, you know?
- Tod Waggner: You've been on a lot of planes that blew up?
- Val Lewton: You must have fallen asleep.
- Carter: As far as I know, this shit can circle around and get us all again. But for right now, I'm the safest fucker in the world, because you're still NEXT.
- Clear Rivers: This gives me a rush!
- Alex Browning: What? This place?
- Clear Rivers: Doing something I'm not supposed to.
- Carter: [mocking Alex] The plane, it's gonna blow up. It's gonna blow up!
- Tod Waggner: Hey, fuck you, Horton, okay? Fuck you!
- Val Lewton: Tod!
- Alex Browning: The only trip you're taking is to the fucking *hospital*!
- [He attacks Carter and they start to fight]
- Alex Browning: [looking at Tod in the funeral home] Is that him?
- Clear Rivers: I think so. Why did they make him look like Michael Jackson?
- Alex Browning: Ms. Lewton, I...
- Val Lewton: [interrupts] Don't talk to me, you scare the Hell outta me.
- Billy Hitchcock: That's right! You're next, Carter! I'm staying the fuck away from you!
- Carter: Shut up, Billy!
- Clear Rivers: Billy, we don't need this shit right now!
- Billy Hitchcock: I don't need it ever! Get away from him! He's next!
- Carter: Fuck you, Billy! I'm not dead!
- Billy Hitchcock: Oh, you will be. You're dead... you're dead and you ain't taking me with you!
- Tod Waggner: I never thought anything could look worse than my yearbook photo...
- George: How do you think I feel having to look at you all the time?
- Hare Krishna: Death is not the end.
- Val Lewton: It will be for you if you keep harassing my students.
- Alex Browning: [in the Carter's car with him, Clear, and Billy] You think it's gonna make it easier to know, Carter?
- [Everyone looks at him]
- Alex Browning: It's not. It's gonna make it fuckin' harder.
- Clear Rivers: When I was a kid, like six or seven, I used to worry so much about my parents dying. Lying awake at night, just worrying.
- Alex Browning: Most kids do, I guess.
- Clear Rivers: Most kids never have it happen.
- Carter: [Alex and Carter are fighting in the airport boarding area] You're paying for my trip, Browning.
- Alex Browning: I wish you were on that plane!
- Billy Hitchcock: [In the distance, the plane has exploded and the shock wave shatters the glass in the boarding area] OH SHIT!
- Clear Rivers: [gesturing toward artwork] Do you know what this is?
- Alex Browning: This is... this is springy head guy.
- Clear Rivers: It's you Alex, and how you make me feel.
- Alex Browning: I'm sorry.
- [Having just been jolted out of his premonition, Alex is wild-eyed and hyperventilating as he verifies that the tray table latch is broken, which means his vision was real]
- Flight Attendant: Is there a a problem, sir?
- Carter: What's your fuckin' problem?
- Mr. Larry Murnau: [Speaking in French] What is it?
- Alex Browning: [screaming] This fuckin' plane's gonna explode!
- Clear Rivers: Almost autumn.
- Alex Browning: It's only the end of June.
- Clear Rivers: Yeah, but everything's always in transition. If you focus, even now, just one week into summer, you can almost feel autumn coming.
- Clear Rivers: [turns toward Alex]
- Clear Rivers: Kinda like being able to see the future.
- Alex Browning: [yelling at Death] You tried to capitalize but I caught you, you fuck! Yeah, I can beat you. Not forever, but I've got this cabin rigged to beat you now!
- Carter: Well, we made it.
- Clear Rivers: Paris, I can't believe it.
- Alex Browning: I just can't believe we got on a plane again, you know what I'm saying?
- Bludworth: By walking off the plane you cheated Death. You have to figure out when it's coming back at you.
- [after Alex panics onboard]
- Val Lewton: The airline's not taking this very well. They'll let one of us back on; the rest of us can take an 11:10 flight. It gets in three hours later, it's all right...
- Mr. Larry Murnau: I'll stay.
- Val Lewton: No - no, you know the whole French thing. Get on the plane, it's fine. It's fine.
- Flight Attendant: We will remove you from this aircraft!
- Alex Browning: Fuck you! I'll remove myself!
- Reporter: All two hundred and eighty seven passengers are feared dead.
