Quotes 

• Paul Bryan : Remember, right here at this lake, I told you we both had a secret? Well, I went to a doctor two weeks ago for a routine checkup. And I learned that I have a year, or at the most two, to live. I'm not sick or in pain, so I've been traveling a lot, and Berlin was just one of my stops. Nobody brought me here.

• Paul Bryan : C'mon, let's get a bottle of wine. I know a great restaurant, all the old-world traditions! Candlelight, violins, microphones in the Wienerschnitzel.

• Michael Allen : From your Air Force 201 file, I gathered you had a more than average love of country.

  Paul Bryan : I love my country because it guarantees me the right to say no at a time like this.

• Paul Bryan : You see, lately, I've been taking a long view of history. In a couple of hundred years, it'll all even out.

  Michael Allen : Maybe you can afford to take the "long view of history," Mr. Bryan; the rest of us can't.

  Paul Bryan : What do you mean by that?

  Michael Allen : That I understand. If I were in your position, I would probably rise above all this too. But that wouldn't make it right. I'm sorry.

  Paul Bryan : You mean, the report you got on me included...

  Michael Allen : The medical information? Yes.

  Paul Bryan : [chuckling]  It's become the Day of the Dossier, hasn't it?

• Michael Allen : You were born in Almeria, California of Ida M. and Harold M. Bryan, now deceased. No brothers or sisters. You flew jets in Korea, eight months, ten days. You were a good fighter pilot. Air Medal, Purple Heart, DFC...

  Paul Bryan : [holding up his hand]  Okay!

• Eileen Henderson : You don't think much of me now, do you?

  Paul Bryan : I don't judge people, Eileen. You see, a permanent encounter with death isn't all bad. It gives you a big capacity to love the world just the way you find it.
