Nick Falzone: [Finds Connie crying in the living room] What is it? Connie Falzone: Sit down, Nick. I've been explaining to the kids what it means that daddy... won't be around anymore. Nick Falzone: [drops bouquet] Hey... hey, hey Connie. Wait a minute, Connie... Connie, do you even want to hear my side of this? Connie Falzone: What's your side of my father dying...?

Ed Clabes: Dammit! I left a *note*, to use alternate climbouts today. Who's on departure? Tina Leary: Uh, I dunno it's probably Harrison? Ed Clabes: Harrison, that asshole! I'll make sure every seven forty-seven leaving New York tomorrow night blows shingles off his roof! Tina Leary: Well, at least it drowns out Falzone.

Mr. Feeney: Controlling air traffic's much like conducting an orchestra. Nick Falzone: Mr. Feeney used a metaphor. Can you say "metaphor"? Know-It-All Schoolboy: That wasn't a metaphor. That was a simile. "Laying pipe" is a metaphor. Did you know that an air traffic controller is responsible for more lives in a shift than a surgeon is in his life? It looks like a computer game. Nick Falzone: This is no game. You make a mistake here, there's no reset button. Schoolboy's mother: Don't touch me. Know-It-All Schoolboy: I hear controllers have the highest rates of depression, nervous breakdowns, heart attacks and alcoholism. Nick Falzone: Don't forget suicide, kid. Schoolboy's mother: He always researches our field trips. He's been online since he was 4.
