The French said C'est la guerre, Dave's mother said It's war, Mary said I saw the war to Jack; the most abused in the film is not the death of a close friend and a dying kiss, but Jack chasing Dave no matter how Dave goes around. Somersault tried to remind him that he was not an enemy plane. He ignored it. There were also the phrase "All set?" that Dave would ask every time before taking off and the last phrase "All set?" with a gesture before his death.
