I guess grief is the price we pay for love, huh?

—Henry on Pan Am “Unscheduled Departure”

Pan Am (Truth or Dare)

  • L: Oh. My. God. You're in love
  • K: I'm in over my head is what I am
  • K: My boyfriend's a Yugoslavian communist
  • L: He's a communist?
  • K: Now who sounds like mother?
  • L: You're right. Who cares?
  • K: The free world
  • L: But you're in love. Nothing else matters
  • L: Hey, don't let that go
  • K: it's complicated
  • L: It's simple. It's a dime, a phone booth, and a handful or words. Call him, as soon we touch down.
  • L: And tell him that love trumps everything.
