Gloria Walsh Quotes in Flight to Fury (1964)

Jay Wickham: You know anything about death?

Gloria Walsh: Death?

Jay Wickham: Yeah, you know, death.

Gloria Walsh: Are you interested in death?

Jay Wickham: It's something that we all go through, at least once.

Gloria Walsh: Can't deny that.

Jay Wickham: People do.

Gloria Walsh: I don't think so.

Jay Wickham: Man spends millions, maybe billions of dollars a year on booze, drugs, women, religion, psychiartrists, you name it, just to obscure the fact of his ultimate demise.

Gloria Walsh: Well, what should you do, think about it day and night?

Jay Wickham: No, not at all, just give it it's due, that's all. Suppose a man's life is a drag, he makes a pledge, see, I'll stick around 'til I'm 50, then if I don't like it...

[mimes shooting himself in the head]

Jay Wickham: Colors the time leading to 50, right? He's only got to go so far, makes it easier, gives him control.

Gloria Walsh: So?

Jay Wickham: It gives his life form. That's all death is, punctuation.

Gloria Walsh: You're focusing on the punctuation and forgetting the sentence.

Jay Wickham: Interesting choice of words, sentence.
