• Karl Zielinski : Mary, a person with an engineer's mind should be an engineer. You can't be a computer the rest of your life.

  Mary Jackson : Mr. Zielinski, I'm a negro woman. I'm not gonna entertain the impossible.

  Karl Zielinski : And I'm a Polish Jew whose parents died in a Nazi prison camp, now I'm standing beneath a spaceship that's going to carry an astronaut to the stars. I think we can say we are living the impossible. Let me ask you, if you were a white male, would you wish to be an engineer?

  Mary Jackson : I wouldn't have to. I'd already be one.

• Karl Zielinski : [to Mary]  No shoe is worth your life!
