Quotes 

• Charlie Anderson : Remember, if they ask you anything about your drinking, it's totally acceptable to say "I don't recall".

  Whip : Hey, don't tell me how to lie about my drinking, okay? I know how to lie about my drinking. I've been lying about my drinking my whole life.

• Harling Mays : All right gentlemen, I need that table cleared and placed in front of Whip with a chair behind it. Now, please! I need a glass of water, I need a credit card, I need a hundred dollar bill.

  Charlie Anderson : I've, I've got a twenty.

  Harling Mays : She'll do.

• Hugh Lang : An initial report shows alcohol in your bloodstream at a level of .24. In the U.S. -- one of the most lenient drunk driving countries in the world -- you go to jail for driving with a number over .08. And by driving, I mean a car.

  Whip : What does that mean? I had a beer the night before I flew. And what... that made the tail of the plane explode?

  Charlie Anderson : Separate issues, Whip.

  Whip : I need a lawyer.

  Charlie Anderson : Hugh is your lawyer.

  Whip : I need a bigger lawyer. A lawyer who understands that I flew a broken plane and without me at that stick there'd be 102 funerals, not 6.

  Hugh Lang : We're talking about prison, not funerals. Somebody has...

  Whip : To write checks. Well, it's not me, I promise you that. And as long as they're writing checks, write me one because someone put me in a broken plane. I'd love a check.

  Charlie Anderson : Easy, Whip.

  Hugh Lang : This tox report states that you were drunk and high on cocaine, felonies punishable by 24 years in jail. And if your intoxication is proven to have caused the death of the 4 passengers you'll get 4 counts of manslaughter. That could be life in prison. Can I now do my job on your behalf and kill this tox report?

  Charlie Anderson : He'll get it done, Whip. It's what his entire life is about. Trust me, trust him. Don't worry, Whip. You're gonna walk away the hero you deserve to be.

  Whip : I'm not worried, Charlie. I promise you that. No one could have landed that plane like I did. No one.

• Avington Carr : I never wanted that fucking airline. Neither did my brother. My father wanted it. I like baseball.

  Hugh Lang : Hey, I like baseball.

  Charlie Anderson : The whole country likes baseball.

  Avington Carr : Cut the crap!

• Charlie Anderson : I the press gets this it could kill the airline.

  Avington Carr : Fuck the airline, I just don't want them sniffing into my other pockets.
