  • MR FAULKNER: Give the facts a good look in the face, John.
  • DAUGHTER: Life doesn't dovetail so nicely . . .
  • TWENTY-YEAR-OLD: I gotta girl, she's always asking me to marry her. So I look at that face, and I say to myself: "Could I stand looking at that face for the resta my life?"
  • Marty was a comment on the social values of our times.
  • Nearby is the boss, a man in his thirties. He is bent over a machine, working on it with a screw driver. The boss is really a pleasant man; he works under the illusion, however, that gruffness is a requisite quality of an executive.
