Jim Pruett : Okay Buzz you're right. To hell with waiting for a bunch of slide-rule jockeys. We used to fix the airplanes we flew with paperclips. Lets get into our hard suits and fix this bird.
Buzz Lloyd : [smiling] Okay Jimmy.

Clayton Stone : Jesus, fifty-five minutes... We'll be pretty cold by then.
Buzz Lloyd : Well, one of us's gonna have to go. I mean uh... that's what we're talkin' about, isnt it? One of us goes and the... other two stay. What... what are we gonna do?

Buzz Lloyd : [after being asked by Stone what he saw when a psychologist held up a blank sheet of paper during his astronaut acceptance boards] I saw a field covered with snow. And underneath was new oats. Then the snow melted and the field turned to green. But the psychologist said I was all wrong, it was just a blank sheet of paper.
Clayton Stone : He took you anyway?
Buzz Lloyd : Yeah, I guess they made a mistake.
Clayton Stone : No, no, they don't make mistakes.
Buzz Lloyd : That's right, I forgot. They don't make mistakes do they?
[the entire crew begins to laugh at the irony]

Clayton Stone : Hey Buzz, you remember that psychologist at Brooks? The one with the blank sheet of paper?
Buzz Lloyd : I don't remember.
Clayton Stone : Sure, sure you remember. He held up a blank sheet of paper and said, "What do you see?"
Buzz Lloyd : I don't remember.
Jim Pruett : What'd you see?
Clayton Stone : Who me? I saw a blank sheet of paper.
Jim Pruett : No imagination.
Clayton Stone : No, no! Devotion to truth.
Jim Pruett : Why don't you take that PhD and shove it.
