Elliott Pritchard : Driver, are we on schedule?
Van Brunt : [Sarcastically] Schedule? Hmph.
Johnny Chicoy : Mister, this ain't the champagne flight to Chicago.
Van Brunt : You know where that wind's coming from? Southwest. You know those clouds are coming from? Southwest. You know where all our rain comes from mostly.
Ernest Horton : Northeast?
Van Brunt : Yes. No! Southwest.
Johnny Chicoy : Hey, why don't you take your own advice and shut up for a while, huh?.
Van Brunt : I wasn't talkin' to you, Chicoy. I was addressin' my fellow passengers. I got the right. I paid my fare!

Ernest Horton : Thinking about the weather, how about me buying you a nice wet drink when we get to the end of the line?
Camille Oakes : [Avoiding his come-on line] You know, it was real nice of you giving the kid that compact.
Ernest Horton : Well, I am nice.
Camille Oakes : And smart too, I suppose.
Ernest Horton : I don't know. If I was smart I'd be settling down and married instead of peddlin' stuff around like this. Hey, how about that? Marryin', you and me, huh.
Camille Oakes : [laughs] It's original. No question about it.
Ernest Horton : SImple as A-B-C.
Camille Oakes : [Abruptly] S-E-X, you mean. Look, you're a salesman. So am I. We both know what the score is. It's even. So why don't we call it that and quit, OK?.
Ernest Horton : I didn't know you were a salesman.
Camille Oakes : Well, I am. And a good one.
Ernest Horton : How about that drink?
Camille Oakes : I don't drink.
Ernest Horton : Alright, then I'll have two drinks. I'll drink for the both of us..
Camille Oakes : Fine, you do that. Now why don't you let me alone so I can catch up on what's happening in the rest of the world.

Johnny Chicoy : [after the bus avoids a crash and comes to a stand still] Sorry folks.
Van Brunt : Sorry? By the purist luck we didn't turn turtle!
Ernest Horton : He coulda killed all of us.
Van Brunt : I had you figured for a better man.
Ernest Horton : A better driver anyway. Awful.
Ed 'Pimples' Carson : He did real good, mister. I'd like to see you drive that good with water in the brake drum.
Van Brunt : Why didn't he get 'em fixed?
Mrs. Elliott (Bernice) Pritchard : Bringing us on this road was criminal negligence.
Elliott Pritchard : It certainly was.
Van Brunt : It isn't this road. It's the equipment. This should have been condemned long ago.
Elliott Pritchard : What should have been condemned was that fool bus driver.
