- Stella Black: You love it, don't you? I mean, you love taking risks and teasing him because you think he's trying to catch you.
- Rex Black: Shhhhh, please quiet.
- Stella Black: You think you're far too clever for him and anyone else in the world, don't you? And you like that. Much more interesting than just us being together.
- Jenkins: You must understand - this is an insurance company.
- Rex Black: Yes. We guessed that.
- Jenkins: And we must have certain rules. One of them is: if the cover isn't paid, the insurance lapses.
- Rex Black: What do you mean?
- Jenkins: You crashed on the third of October. Your cover expired on the first.
- Stephen Maddux: They'll have to put up the insurance premiums on anyone who wants to make love to you. You're an occupational risk, that's what you are.
- Solicitor: You see, in law, the insurance company were perfectly entitled to refuse payment. I can't advise you to sue, you'd only be throwing good money away.
- Rex Black: That's what the law says?
- Solicitor: I've told you, Mr Black - not once but several times.
- Rex Black: And is this your idea of justice?
- Solicitor: If that's the attitude you wish to take, I'm hardly the person to come to, am I? I'm sorry - you might find another firm to take your case - there are such lawyers.
- Rex Black: Yes, I know. I've tried them.
- Solicitor: They'd only do it for the costs they could get out of you.
- Rex Black: That's the law, is it?
- Solicitor: Until you can get it changed.
- Jim Jerome: [drunkenly showing Rex a photo] You know what these are?
- Rex Black: Sheep.
- Jim Jerome: Yeah. Like I told you - I've got half a million of 'em in South Australia. You know why I'm going back to them? Because they respect me. Oh - that lousy Sheila...
- Parson: Flying was Rex's religion. I saw him often from my study window, driving to the airport in his little open car, too fast occasionally, and I thought - that young man has everything - youth, enthusiasm, the work he loves and the devotion and comfort of a Christian marriage.
