Quotes 

• Caproni : Inspiration unlocks the future.

• Caproni : Airplanes are beautiful, cursed dreams, waiting for the sky to swallow them up.

• Caproni : Which would you choose: a world with pyramids or a world without?

• Caproni : She was beautiful, just like the wind.

• Caproni : Airplanes are beautiful dreams, engineers turn dreams into reality.

• Caproni : Tell me Japanese Boy. Is the wind still rising?

• Caproni : Be careful, this may be a dream but you can still lose your head!

• Caproni : Bravo! A beautiful dream.

• Young Jirô : Mr. Caproni, may I ask you a question? I know I can't be a pilot because of my eyesight. If I'm not a pilot, can I still design airplanes?

  Caproni : [smiles]  Japanese boy, I've been around planes all my life, do you know how many I've flown? None! Not a one!

  [laughs] 

  Caproni : Many can fly airplanes, but I design them - I CREATE airplanes, and so can you! An aeronautical engineer!

  Young Jirô : Yes!

  Caproni : But remember this, Japanese boy - airplanes are not tools for war, they are not for making money. Airplanes are beautiful dreams. Engineers turn dreams into reality.

• Caproni : [in Italian]  Hey! Who are you?

  Young Jirô : I'm a Japanese boy!

  Caproni : [Italian]  A Japanese boy? Why are you here?

  Young Jirô : I'm dreaming! I think this is my dream.

  Caproni : [Italian]  A dream? Wait right there!

  [jumps from his plane to talk to Jiro on the ground] 

  Caproni : This is MY dream, you know.

  Young Jirô : I think it's mine too.

  Caproni : Your dream? Listen, Japanese boy - So you think we are sharing this dream?

  Young Jirô : I think so - you are Count Caproni, aren't you? I've been reading all about you.

  Caproni : [chuckles]  Interesting. Yes, this is a dream. This world's a dream. Welcome to my kingdom.
