- Jimmy: [repeated line to the American flyers] Good morning, American bum!

- Tom Hitchcock: This is a day to write home about.
- Duke Sinclaire: Dear Mother: Today we flew at a dizzy height. 25 feet off the ground. Our estimated speed: a reckless 40 miles an hour. Dear Mother: We have grown used to the smell of burnt castor oil. And the confusion of instruments: an altimeter, a compass, and a revolutions counter.
- Tom Hitchcock: Dear Mother: All he's gotta do now is land.
- Arthur Blumenthal: [from the pitcher's mound] Come on, let's go, Yale! Come on, step up and take your medicine, boy.
