Capricorn One

You're fired! Oh, I love how that sounds. I love that so much I'm going to say it again. You're fired. You're through. Oh, I love it!

Vice President Price: Hollis, there are a number of people who feel that we have problems right here on Earth that merit our attention before we spend billions on outer space. Congressman Hollis Peaker: There are a number of people who feel that there are no more pressing problems than our declining position in world leadership.

Walter Loughlin: Listen to me and listen good. I don't like you, Caulfield. You're ambitious. You think the way to get ahead is to come up with the scoop of the century. Woodward and Bernstein were good reporters, that's how they did it. Not by telling me they've located Patty Hearst three times like you did or that brilliant piece of investigative journalism you pulled off by finding an eye witness to the second gunman in the Kennedy assassination. The small fact that the man had been in a mental institution at the time never deterred you, not 'Scoop' Caulfield. Now most reporters are like me. They are plodders. They spend a lot of their time checking little things... like facts. They cover mundane stories like wars and trials and hearings. You never seem to have enough time in your busy schedule to stoop so low as to cover a story. You occupy your time with tips from people who never existed. Driving your car into water and claiming it wasn't your fault. Getting shot at by unseen gun

Robert Caulfield: Look, when a reporter tells his assignment editor that he thinks he may be on to something that could be really big, the assignment editor is supposed to say: "You've got 48 hours, kids, and you better come up with something good or it's going to be your neck!" That's what he's supposed to say, I saw it in a movie. Walter Loughlin: You're not crazy, I'm crazy. I'm crazy for listening and I'm crazy for saying what I'm about to say. I'll give you 24 hours to come up with something. Not 48. I saw the movie too, it was 24.

Judy Drinkwater: I'll fix you some coffee, then you can jump me. Robert Caulfield: There's no other one besides White Bluff? Judy Drinkwater: No, except one abandoned base they used for training during World War II. Jackson. There's nothing there now. Don't you want to jump me? Robert Caulfield: Of course I do. Where's Jackson? Judy Drinkwater: About 300 miles directly west. I think I'm going to get angry with you. Robert Caulfield: Do you have any money on you? Judy Drinkwater: You want me to pay you? Robert Caulfield: How much? Judy Drinkwater: About a hundred. Why don't I just leave it on the dresser in the morning? Robert Caulfield: Give it to me now. Judy Drinkwater: In advance? That's the height of conceit. Robert Caulfield: Please, and your car keys.

Robert Caulfield: You in charge here? Albain: See that sign there? Robert Caulfield: Yes. Albain: Well, read it. Robert Caulfield: I did. Albain: Out loud. Robert Caulfield: A&A Crop Dusting Service. Albain: You wanna know who I am? Robert Caulfield: I bet you're one of the A's. Albain: But which one? I bet you can't answer that question, smart-ass. Robert Caulfield: The first one. Albain: Wrong. Robert Caulfield: Can I have one more guess? Albain: You got it. Robert Caulfield: The second one. Albain: Wrong. I'm both of them. My name is AlBaine. Now, I got a son. You know, the other A was for him but he don't like to fly. He became a lawyer. I think he's a pervert so I took the A away from him. You want to speak to someone in charge, you're speaking to the both of them. Robert Caulfield: My name is Caulfield. Albain: Hey, I can't help that.
