Christopher Thornton: Shammy

Quotes 

• Theodore 'TC' Calvin : Is it the compression rotor?

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : No.

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : The turbine?

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : It ain't the turbine. The entire engine's shot. We are grounded, bro.

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : No, no, no. No! I need this bird in the air today.

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : You got a better chance of getting my wheelchair airborne today. Why don't you ask the, uh, shrimp truck guy to borrow his chopper?

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : Look, I did. Kamekona's is already booked. Damn, Shammy, how come you didn't catch this in your maintenance report?

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : Because magically predicting random breakdowns isn't part of my job.

• Orville 'Rick' Wright : Shammy, how's our boy holding up?

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : He's nervous as hell. What's the occasion?

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : I mean, pops doesn't get out here much is all.

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : All good between you two?

  [seeing them share a look] 

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : Oh, what, is this more inner-circle friends type stuff?

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : Shammy. MC Sham! You are in the inner circle, my brother. It's just complicated.

• Orville 'Rick' Wright : Look, TC's dad was the man, all right? He really stepped up when his mom bounced. Problem is, he couldn't stick around for long 'cause he made a little mistake.

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : What kind of mistake?

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : Armed robbery.

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : Which he committed with love in his heart.

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : Did he, now?

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : It was misguided attempt to make ends meet, okay?

• Theodore 'TC' Calvin : He got out of prison right before I went into the military. Then he got a legit job on the mainland. But I'm living out here now. It's been a while since I've seen him.

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : You just want everything to be perfect.

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : Yeah. I wanted to take him on a tour. Just show off a little. But what's a helicopter business without a helicopter?

  Kenny 'Shammy' Shamberg : TC, I know you want to show him how well you're doing, but I have a feeling he already knows. I'm sure he just wants to see you.

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : Yeah, and that being said, is this really what you were gonna wear?

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : What? This t-shirt is sharp.

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : "Sharp t-shirt" is an oxymoron.

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : You're an oxymoron. It's not like I'm a businessman.

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : All right, you know what, you're not a businessman; you're a business, man. You got to dress to impress, like me.

  Theodore 'TC' Calvin : All right, I'll change. But not like you. I ain't wearing no silk shirt unbuttoned to my navel.

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : [Shammy laughs]  It's not that low.

  [TC and Shammy start to leave] 

  Orville 'Rick' Wright : [following them]  It's not that low. I-I'm usually a sternum guy. That's where I cut it off. Sternum. TC, I never go lower than the sternum.
