Joe Gaines Quotes:
-
Jay Wickham: Where are you from, Joe?
Joe Gaines: Scranton... uh, Pennsylvania.
Jay Wickham: I know. I'm from Beaver Falls, Idaho.
Joe Gaines: Right.
[they clink glasses]
Jay Wickham: You, uh, travelling or what?
Joe Gaines: Uh, just travelling.
Jay Wickham: I'm not bugging you? I mean, I don't want to be the kind of guy, you know, buys you a drink and then chews your ear off.
Joe Gaines: Don't worry about it.
Jay Wickham: I guess I, uh, tend to be a little overly friendly at times.
Joe Gaines: Where are you heading from here?
Jay Wickham: Up to Japan. Tokyo, I think.
Joe Gaines: Pretty girls in Japan.
Jay Wickham: You ever want to see the ugliest women in the world, go to Boise, Idaho.
Joe Gaines: Oh, is that right?
Jay Wickham: Yeah, no question about it. I dated the Queen of Idaho one time. She was a throwaway anywhere else. She ran an all-night disc jockey show from a tower in the middle of a drive-in movie. Want another drink?
Joe Gaines: Yeah, thanks.
Jay Wickham: [to the bartender] Two more, please.
[to Joe]
Jay Wickham: Yeah, I dated her, right up there in the tower.

Jay Wickham: Joe, you want to know something?
Joe Gaines: What?
Jay Wickham: You're probably not going to like it.
Joe Gaines: Well, then don't tell me.
Jay Wickham: I'm getting kind of a boot out of it.
Joe Gaines: What are you talking about?
Jay Wickham: Coming through the crash alive, it makes me feel like, uh, immortal, you know?
Joe Gaines: Are you out of your mind?
Jay Wickham: No, it's true, it's a tremendous feeling.
Joe Gaines: Look, I don't want to hear that crap. Now, we're going to be burying those people in there, let's see you feel immortal on that, buster.
Jay Wickham: Burying them?
Joe Gaines: Yeah, bury them.
Jay Wickham: I can't.
Joe Gaines: What do you mean, you can't?
Jay Wickham: I'm not fooling around with any dead bodies.
Joe Gaines: All right, OK... You dig and we'll bring them out.

Jay Wickham: [about the injured old Japanese man] This guy'll never make it.
Joe Gaines: What's that mean?
Jay Wickham: Nothing, why?
Joe Gaines: You think we should dump him?
Jay Wickham: I didn't say anything about that.
Joe Gaines: Yeah, well, don't.
Jay Wickham: What's the matter with you?
Joe Gaines: Nothing. Nothing at all.
Jay Wickham: I didn't say anything about dumping the old Jap. First place, the young guy'd never go for it. Notice how he never takes his eyes off him?
Joe Gaines: No, I never noticed.
Jay Wickham: Like he wants to see when he dies.
Joe Gaines: Get away from me, will you?
Jay Wickham: What?
Joe Gaines: You depress me, Jay. Just keep away from me.

Joe Gaines: [while imprisoned with Jay, Lorgren and Destiny] There are a lot of people I'd rather be in jail with.
-- Joe Gaines -
Jay Wickham: How are we going to get out? That's the point.
Joe Gaines: What are you asking me for?
Jay Wickham: [looking at Lorgren sitting on the floor with his broken leg] Well, I'll tell you one thing, they're not going to let us limp out.
Lorgren: Your single-minded desire for self-preservation is a truly admirable thing, Mr. Wickham. You must have much to live for.
Jay Wickham: I didn't break your leg.
-- Joe Gaines -
Joe Gaines: I don't feel much like relying on this guy's hospitality, but it's one hell of lot better than getting my brains blown out escorting a hospital train out of here.
Jay Wickham: Well, I'm not waiting around til this monkey decides to blow my head off. I'm taking the first chance I get and cutting, that's all there is to it.
Destiny Cooper: I haven't done much running lately.
Lorgren: You haven't been jailed lately. It is apparent we cannot sneak out from under their eyes. It seems to me that, even considering my broken leg and Destiny's feminine gait, a well-timed flight is our best chance.
