Notable Quotables: “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”

Medium:

The movie “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles”

The Line(s):

Neal (played by Steve Martin): What’s the flight situation?

Del (played by John Candy): Simple. There’s no way on earth we’re going to get out of here tonight. We’d have more luck playing pickup sticks with our butt-cheeks than we will getting a flight out of here before daybreak.

Neal: I guess we’ll find out soon enough.

Del: Yeah, but by the time the airline cancels this flight, which they will sooner or later, you’d have more of a chance to find a three-legged ballerina than you would a hotel room.

Neal: Are you saying I could be stuck in Wichita?

Del: I’m saying you are stuck in Wichita.


Scott’s take: If only we could all be so lucky to have a Dell Griffith with us the next time our flight is delayed!

A New Use for an Old Cliché
When you hear that it is time to fish or cut bait, it is time to make a decision.  Of this, I am certain.  What I am not certain of is exactly what is being decided.  I think the choice is whether to act or take more time before you act.

The main difference between a mortgage pre-qualification and a mortgage pre-approval is the fact that a Loan Officer will verify information for a pre-approval. 
A New Use for an Old Cliché
Taken in that context, this is good advice.  If all you do is talk about yourself and your accomplishments, you will eventually have to get used to the sound of your own voice because no one else will want to spend time with you.
