[reciting Life Magazine's Motto]
Walter Mitty: To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life.
Walter Mitty: When are you going to take it?
Sean O'Connell: Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it.
Walter Mitty: Stay in it?
Sean O'Connell: Yeah. Right there. Right here.

Cheryl: Life is about courage and going into the unknown.
Sean O'Connell: They call the snow leopard the ghost cat. Never lets itself be seen.
Walter Mitty: Ghost cat.
Sean O'Connell: Beautiful things don't ask for attention.
Walter Mitty: I was saying you know who looks good in a beard? Dumbledore. Not you.
Walter Mitty: What was the picture?
Sean O'Connell: Let's just call it a ghost cat, Walter Mitty.
Cheryl: I wanted to tell you, that song "Major Tom" and that beard guy... he doesn't know what he's talking about. That song is about courage and going into the unknown. It's a cool song.
Trawler Captain: You have at least a minute before you freeze.
Walter Mitty: What?
Trawler Captain: You are safe.
Sean O'Connell: Number 25 is my best ever, the quintessence of life, I think. I trust you'll get it where it needs to go, you always do.
Walter Mitty: So you're just going to finish your beer and then fly a machine?
Helicopter Pilot: Yeah, I'm kind of nervous about the storm.
Todd Maher: I pictured you as this little gray piece of paper, but now I see you and it's like Indiana Jones decided to become the lead singer of The Strokes or something.
Helicopter Pilot: Don't cheat on your lady, man, when you live in a country that only has eight people in it.
Walter Mitty: [taking on cell phone while climbing a mountain] Hey Todd, I'm gonna keep this short. I have to make oxygen choices.
Sean O'Connell: I thought it would be cute.
Cheryl: God, you're noteworthy!
Walter Mitty: I just live by the ABCs: Adventurous, Brave, Creative.
Sean O'Connell: Sorry about the neg roll. I spilled some blood on it while self stitching a gun wound to my abdomen.
Ted Hendricks: Oh, hey, welcome... wait, sorry, not welcome. Not an employee.
Walter Mitty: Sorry. This is the picture Sean wanted, 25. You have two days to print for cover. Here's your quintessence.

Walter Mitty: [in shark-infested waters] There's a fin here!
Todd Maher: How was the... daydreaming going?
Walter Mitty: Lately less.
Todd Maher: Good. Less is good!
