Quotes 

• Miss Young : Well, hello there, young man.

  José : [flustered]  I don't know what to say.

  [chuckles] 

  Miss Young : [suggests]  "Nice to see you, Miss Young." I have been waiting for this moment for more than 30 years. And I have proof.

  [unfolds and shows Jose, through the pre-launch quarantine glass partition, Jose's elementary school crayon drawing of himself standing in front of a launch pad spacecraft, from 30 years ago.] 

  José : [sighs]  Ah. Thank you.

  [sniffles] 

  José : You changed my life.

• Beto : Yeah, what's the deal with space?

  José : I don't know. Maybe I just want to keep my hands off the ground.

  Beto : Tell me something. Who better than a migrant? Somebody that knows what it's like to dive into the unknown. Who better than that... to dare leave this planet, man? Be grateful.
