Quotes
-
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!

Elliott Pritchard : Would you leave her alone, Bernice. We've done enough as it is.
Mrs. Elliott (Bernice) Pritchard : You know why she was talking to that bus driver, don't you?
Elliott Pritchard : Because she spilled his coffee.
Mrs. Elliott (Bernice) Pritchard : She was doing it to test us to see if we care about her. She's still a child looking for her father.
Elliott Pritchard : Then she better put on her bifocals because I'm right here.

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.
