Rose Quote #943

Quote from Rose in The Bloom Is Off the Rose

Instructor: Seconds after you jump, your chute will open automatically, and you'll lurch upwards. Unfortunately, not high enough to get back in the plane. Now, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the view. The only thing to remember is, when you hit the ground, tuck and roll. Tuck and roll. Say it.
All: Tuck and roll.
Instructor: Someone didn't say "tuck."
Miles: I'm sorry. I'm a little nervous.
Instructor: Well, that's good. It'll keep you on your toes. Too bad there won't be anything underneath 'em.

Quote from Rose

Rose: Two hours of learning about thimbles from foreign lands. I couldn't wait to give the headset back.
Dorothy: Look, Rose, have you talked to Miles?

Dorothy: He would say that often?
Rose: Almost as often as he'd say, "Don't shoot. It's me, Charlie Nylund."
