Quote of the Day: Rain Man


Charlie: Ray, all airlines have crashed at one time or another, that doesn’t mean
that they are not safe.
Raymond: QANTAS. QANTAS never crashed.
Charlie: QANTAS?
Raymond: Never crashed.
Charlie: Oh that’s gonna do me a lot of good because QANTAS doesn’t fly to Los Angeles out of Cincinnati, you have to get to Melbourne! Melbourne, Australia in order to get the plane that flies to Los Angeles!

Raymond: Of course I don’t have my underwear. I’m definitely not wearing my underwear.

Charlie: I gave you a fresh pair of mine to wear. Where are they?

Raymond: They’re in the pocket of my jacket. Here.

Charlie: I don’t want them back.

Raymond: These are not boxer shorts. Mine are boxer shorts. These are Hanes 32.

Charlie: Underwear is underwear, Ray.

Raymond: My boxer shorts have my name and it says Raymond.

Charlie: All right, when we pass the store, we’ll pick you up a pair of boxer shorts.

Raymond: I get my boxer shorts at K-Mart in Cincinnati.

Charlie: We’re not going back to Cincinnati, Ray, so don’t even start with that.
