Admiral James Greer: So, how's Caroline? Last time I saw her was at your granddad's place in Maine, wasn't it?
Jack Ryan: She's fine. Sends you her best.
Admiral James Greer: And Sally?
Jack Ryan: She's fine.
Admiral James Greer: What is she now, 3?
Jack Ryan:

Uh, no, she's a very precocious five. Uh, she announced to Caroline and I the other day that her life would be considerably less lonely if we were to buy her a baby brother.
Admiral James Greer: Buy one?
Jack Ryan: Buy one. But, um, she decided it would be enough if were to buy one for Stanley.
Admiral James Greer: Who's

Jack Ryan: Uh... Stanley's a bear.
Admiral James Greer: All right. What's important enough to get you on a plane in the middle of the night?

Ricky Bobby: I get emotional. You guys are workin' so hard, and I'm just so proud of you. You remind me of me, precocious and full of wonderment.
Cal Naughton, Jr.: I tell you what, Ricky, you are truly blessed. These two are two in a million, just like Carley's ta-tas. You won't find another rack like that, I guarantee it.
Carley

Bobby: Thank you, Cal.
Walker: That's real sweet of you, Cal.
Ricky Bobby: Cal, that's a real nice sentiment. That's about one of the nicest things you ever said.
Cal Naughton, Jr.: Well, I mean it.
Carley Bobby: Stop it, gonna make me cry.
Cal Naughton, Jr.: Comes from

the heart.
