John: It matters how people see us, guys! It matters what we do! The example we set, and not just for the country, by the way. Your own children are looking at you. You're husbands and fathers, all of you. Just show some self control!
Alan: For God sakes! We wouldn't be the pilots that we are today if we didn't have control! But do we have appetites? Yeah. I'm a human being, and I'm going to die one day. We all are. We are test pilots, and we get that fact; we stare it in the face for a living!
John: You're damned right you're gonna die. What I want to know is how you're gonna be remembered.
Alan: I don't care!
John: Look, all I'm trying to do, guys, all I am ever trying to do is help this group.
Alan: You're lookin' out for John Glenn. That's all you ever do.
