Jack Morrison: Linda, what is wrong?
Linda Morrison: I saw you on the news, Jack, dangling from a rope! How could you tell me that it's not dangerous?
Jack Morrison: I never said it wasn't dangerous.
Linda Morrison: When we talked about it, I asked you and you said it wasn't dangerous.
Jack Morrison: I said it wasn't any more dangerous than being on the engine! I never said it wasn't dangerous!
Linda Morrison: Do... do... do you see me right now? Do you? 'Cos this isn't just about us. Have you thought about that?
[Jack approaches Linda]
Linda Morrison: Don't. Don't.
Jack Morrison: [whispers] I'm sorry.
Linda Morrison: I'm scared. I can't sleep. I keep having that dream about the red car turning up in front of the house when you don't come home.
[Jack gets closer to Linda]
Linda Morrison: Don't.
Jack Morrison: [as he walks away] I saved that man today.

Lenny Richter: [during the traditional false-confession initiation] How about sex? Are you a virgin?
Keith Perez: No, sir.
Lenny Richter: You think it's funny to fornicate with loose women?

Jack Morrison: There's something I wanted to talk to you about, Cap. I was thinking of transferring to the truck.
Chief Kennedy: Oh, geez. What the hell do you want to do that for? You're an engine man. Truck's a whole different thing. No water between you and the fire, no hose to lead you out if you get lost in the smoke. Not a good idea.
Jack Morrison: I know that, Cap. And I love being on the pipe, but... I want this, Mike.
Chief Kennedy: Ok. We'll give it a try. But you gotta tell me something. If this isn't for you, you tell me right away. Promise?
Jack Morrison: Yes, sir.

Linda Morrison: It's okay, I'm not drinking, I'll just have a diet coke.
Dennis Gauquin: What, are you pregnant?
[long silence from Linda]
Jack Morrison: [Jack looks incredulously at Linda who nods] What? You're kidding!
Linda Morrison: Baby, I was gonna wait and tell you tonight. I wanted to surprise you!
