Buzz Lloyd : [after being asked by Stone what he saw when a psychologist held up a blank sheet of paper during his astronaut acceptance boards] I saw a field covered with snow. And underneath was new oats. Then the snow melted and the field turned to green. But the psychologist said I was all wrong, it was just a blank sheet of paper.
Clayton Stone : He took you anyway?
Buzz Lloyd : Yeah, I guess they made a mistake.
Clayton Stone : No, no, they don't make mistakes.
Buzz Lloyd : That's right, I forgot. They don't make mistakes do they?
[the entire crew begins to laugh at the irony]

Jim Pruett : What are you gonna do when you finish that? Drop it out the window in a bottle?
Clayton Stone : No, I'm the scientist. I rely on the pilot to get me places.
Jim Pruett : If we had more pilots up here we'd be out there doin' somethin'; instead of laying around here like a bunch of cripples.

Clayton Stone : Tell me Jim, what did you see when the psychologist held up that blank sheet of paper?

Clayton Stone : Hey Buzz, you remember that psychologist at Brooks? The one with the blank sheet of paper?
Buzz Lloyd : I don't remember.
Clayton Stone : Sure, sure you remember. He held up a blank sheet of paper and said, "What do you see?"
Buzz Lloyd : I don't remember.
Jim Pruett : What'd you see?
Clayton Stone : Who me? I saw a blank sheet of paper.
Jim Pruett : No imagination.
Clayton Stone : No, no! Devotion to truth.
Jim Pruett : Why don't you take that PhD and shove it.
