Quotes 

• Co-Pilot : [John screamed when he saw the strange creature outside his window. He is now in his seat talking with the Co-Pilot, who doesn't know about the creature]  Mr. Valentine, what do you think's wrong with this aircraft?

  John Valentine : [tries to think of something else, since no one will believe him about the creature]  There's an engine out.

  Co-Pilot : Which one?

  John Valentine : The one on the outside. Outboard No. 1. It's out, isn't it?

  Co-Pilot : What makes you think that?

  John Valentine : Never mind about that. It's true, isn't it?

  Co-Pilot : Nine minutes ago, Outboard No. 1 was struck by lightning, there was a flame out, we lost it.

  John Valentine : Lightning?

  Co-Pilot : Lightning. Mr. Valentine, this aircraft has four engines. The possibility of us losing one, remaining three, is remote in the extremes.

  John Valentine : You sure it was just lightning?

  Co-Pilot : Absolutely. Listen, we're gonna be landing in about twenty minutes. There is the highest probability that we will survive this flight.

  John Valentine : [laughs in fear and disbelief]  Okay.

• Co-Pilot : [John Valentine's just been taken away in the ambulance after the plane has landed]  Weather hadn't broke we would've never gotten this baby down. We've had one hell of a night. We got the storm. We got the flame out. Then that freak show.

  Old Woman : Not to mention the gun. The gun was awful.

  Sky Marshal : He didn't have a gun.

  Old Man : He didn't have a gun?

  Sky Marshal : No, no. He didn't have a gun. It was my gun. I'm FAA. I'm authorized to have a gun.

  Jr. Stewardess : He was so crazy. He smashed the window. What was he trying to do, get out?

  Sky Marshal : It's claustrophobia! They'd rather fall to the ground, than stay aboard! I've seen it happen! I've seen it!

  Jr. Stewardess : He had to be completely wacko, right?

  Sr. Stewardess : I knew he was frightened, but I didn't think he was crazy.

  Jr. Stewardess : But Dion, he said he saw something on the end of the wing.
