- Terrence Clarence 'Terry' Parker: [talking about the plane crash that killed his parents and sister] I suffered 3 scratches and a headache. But dad, mother, Cynthia... fini. I really shouldn't have lived. The 3 dearest people in the world were dead. I had no right to take advantage of a miracle. So, you see, Gibraltar, I... I really died with them, that moment. Every minute since then, every minute from now on is pure velvet.
- Amy Prentiss: Terry, listen...
- Terrence Clarence 'Terry' Parker: Yes dear?
- Amy Prentiss: [reading from a telegram that just arrived] "Livewright offers twenty a share for Overland Express. Congratulations, Walter."
- Terrence Clarence 'Terry' Parker: Fancy that, now.
- Amy Prentiss: How many shares we got?
- Terrence Clarence 'Terry' Parker: I don't know.
- Amy Prentiss: Didn't you say 400?
- Terrence Clarence 'Terry' Parker: That's right.
- Amy Prentiss: Terry! We're plutocrats! We're worth 8,000 dollars! Oh, my darling!
- Terrence Clarence 'Terry' Parker: Amy, there's something I've been saving to tell you, at this moment.
- Amy Prentiss: Yes, Terry?
- Terrence Clarence 'Terry' Parker: You've been a grand nurse, and certainly a grand companion. But... the job's over. You're free, Amy.
- Amy Prentiss: But I don't want to be free. Freedom's overrated.
