Flight to Fury (1964)

Dewey Martin: Joe Gaines

Quotes 

• Jay Wickham : [about the injured old Japanese man]  This guy'll never make it.

  Joe Gaines : What's that mean?

  Jay Wickham : Nothing, why?

  Joe Gaines : You think we should dump him?

  Jay Wickham : I didn't say anything about that.

  Joe Gaines : Yeah, well, don't.

  Jay Wickham : What's the matter with you?

  Joe Gaines : Nothing. Nothing at all.

  Jay Wickham : I didn't say anything about dumping the old Jap. First place, the young guy'd never go for it. Notice how he never takes his eyes off him?

  Joe Gaines : No, I never noticed.

  Jay Wickham : Like he wants to see when he dies.

  Joe Gaines : Get away from me, will you?

  Jay Wickham : What?

  Joe Gaines : You depress me, Jay. Just keep away from me.

• Joe Gaines : [while imprisoned with Jay, Lorgren and Destiny]  There are a lot of people I'd rather be in jail with.

• Jay Wickham : How are we going to get out? That's the point.

  Joe Gaines : What are you asking me for?

  Jay Wickham : [looking at Lorgren sitting on the floor with his broken leg]  Well, I'll tell you one thing, they're not going to let us limp out.

  Lorgren : Your single-minded desire for self-preservation is a truly admirable thing, Mr. Wickham. You must have much to live for.

  Jay Wickham : I didn't break your leg.

• Joe Gaines : I don't feel much like relying on this guy's hospitality, but it's one hell of lot better than getting my brains blown out escorting a hospital train out of here.

  Jay Wickham : Well, I'm not waiting around til this monkey decides to blow my head off. I'm taking the first chance I get and cutting, that's all there is to it.

  Destiny Cooper : I haven't done much running lately.

  Lorgren : You haven't been jailed lately. It is apparent we cannot sneak out from under their eyes. It seems to me that, even considering my broken leg and Destiny's feminine gait, a well-timed flight is our best chance.

• Jay Wickham : Where are you from, Joe?

  Joe Gaines : Scranton... uh, Pennsylvania.

  Jay Wickham : I know. I'm from Beaver Falls, Idaho.

  Joe Gaines : Right.

  [they clink glasses] 

  Jay Wickham : You, uh, travelling or what?

  Joe Gaines : Uh, just travelling.

  Jay Wickham : I'm not bugging you? I mean, I don't want to be the kind of guy, you know, buys you a drink and then chews your ear off.

  Joe Gaines : Don't worry about it.

  Jay Wickham : I guess I, uh, tend to be a little overly friendly at times.

  Joe Gaines : Where are you heading from here?

  Jay Wickham : Up to Japan. Tokyo, I think.

  Joe Gaines : Pretty girls in Japan.

  Jay Wickham : You ever want to see the ugliest women in the world, go to Boise, Idaho.

  Joe Gaines : Oh, is that right?

  Jay Wickham : Yeah, no question about it. I dated the Queen of Idaho one time. She was a throwaway anywhere else. She ran an all-night disc jockey show from a tower in the middle of a drive-in movie. Want another drink?

  Joe Gaines : Yeah, thanks.

  Jay Wickham : [to the bartender]  Two more, please.

  [to Joe] 

  Jay Wickham : Yeah, I dated her, right up there in the tower.

• Jay Wickham : Joe, you want to know something?

  Joe Gaines : What?

  Jay Wickham : You're probably not going to like it.

  Joe Gaines : Well, then don't tell me.

  Jay Wickham : I'm getting kind of a boot out of it.

  Joe Gaines : What are you talking about?

  Jay Wickham : Coming through the crash alive, it makes me feel like, uh, immortal, you know?

  Joe Gaines : Are you out of your mind?

  Jay Wickham : No, it's true, it's a tremendous feeling.

  Joe Gaines : Look, I don't want to hear that crap. Now, we're going to be burying those people in there, let's see you feel immortal on that, buster.

  Jay Wickham : Burying them?

  Joe Gaines : Yeah, bury them.

  Jay Wickham : I can't.

  Joe Gaines : What do you mean, you can't?

  Jay Wickham : I'm not fooling around with any dead bodies.

  Joe Gaines : All right, OK... You dig and we'll bring them out.
