• Bud Kruger : [as he and the commissioner get out of their car and enter the terminal building]  Commissioner, now we both know that shuttle needs another month of pre-launch testing.

  The Commissioner : Forget it.

  Bud Kruger : Commissioner.

  The Commissioner : I said forget about it. The Mayflower is the first Lunar Shuttle to fly from a commercial terminal, and the boys on the board want that flight to go on schedule.

  Bud Kruger : Well the boys on the board know about safety...

  The Commissioner : Bud, get wise to the political reality. The boys on the board are under a heavy pressure from the boys downtown.

  [the elevator arrives, and the doors open. Several people exit, all of them covering their ears because the elevator music is very, *very* loud. Everyone files into the elevator and puts their hands over their ears to protect them from the music, except for Bud and the Commissioner. The doors close, silencing the music] 

  The Commissioner : [At the fourth floor, everyone files out, and the loud elevator music is playing a rendition of "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head."] 

  The Commissioner : [the first part of what he says is drowned out by the loud music]  The boys on the board are under pressure from the boys downtown.

  Bud Kruger : And I'll be the one to crucify if that shuttle screws up.

• Hallick : Passenger's name is Joe Saluki. He was supposed to fly to Des Moines for an operation, something to do with sexual impotence...

  Steve McCroskey : The Des Moines Institute?

  Hallick : You know it?

  Steve McCroskey , Bud Kruger , The Commissioner : We're familiar with it.
