Quotes 

• Trudy Cooper : [Trudy has just finished talking to Nurse Murch about Gordo]  You're all set. I told her you were stable, well-adjusted, attentive, persevering... I lied.

  Gordon Cooper : That a girl! What'd she say?

  Trudy Cooper : She laughed! She knows you too well, Gordo.

  Gordon Cooper : Yeah, well some women just have a problem with men, you know?

  Trudy Cooper : [Shakes her head ruefully as Gordo walks off]  Yeah, I know.

• Gordon Cooper : Hey honey, want a hot dog?

  Trudy Cooper : I'm leaving you, Gordo.

• Trudy Cooper : [about being the wife of a test pilot]  I went back east to a reunion and all my friends could talk about their husband's work. How "dog-eat-dog" and cutthroat it was on Madison Ave. Places like that.

  [under her breath] 

  Trudy Cooper : Cutthroat.

  [to everyone] 

  Trudy Cooper : I wondered how they would've felt if every time their husband went in to make a deal, there was a one in four chance he wouldn't come out of that meeting.

  [begins sobbing]
