I've flown with you twice and you've crashed half the time.
Dialogue
Angelica: Quinny, look what I got.
Quinn: What's that, baby?
Angelica: It's a bathing suit, silly.
Frank: I thought it was an eye patch.
Quinn: There's no deal. We're friends, we have a few laughs... keep it simple.
Robin: Well, has it always been simple or has there ever been anyone complicated?
[Quinn gives Robin a nasty look]
Robin: That's a yes. How complicated? On a scale from one to ten.
Quinn: Twelve.
Quinn: You deserve someone... fresher.
Robin: Isn't that up to me to decide?
Quinn: Let's be reasonable about this. You're not going to come down here and be my co-pilot and I'm not going to go to New York and be your receptionist. Let's not complicate things.
Robin: Oh, I forgot. You like things simple.
Quinn: Yeah.
Quinn: They come here looking for the magic, hoping to find romance, when they can't find it anywhere else.
Robin: Maybe they will.
Quinn: It's an island, babe. If you didn't bring it here, you won't find it here.
Robin: [after using their only flare and hitting a palm tree with it] Oh, no! Oh, uh-oh! Oh, nuts!
Quinn: [walking up still partly drunk] What the...? What the hell did you do? You wasted our only god damn flare to shoot a god damn palm tree?
Robin: I wouldn't have shot the god damn tree if you hadn't rolled into me. I was trying to signal the god damn plane.
Quinn: What god damn plane?
Robin: [points to a commercial airliner in the sky] That god damn plane.
Quinn: That god damn plane? That's a commercial airliner! It's 5 miles high going 600 miles an hour. They wouldn't see a nuclear explosion if they were looking for it, much less a flare!
Robin: How the hell was I supposed know that? If you hadn't drunken yourself into a coma, maybe you could have told me that.
Quinn: You know what you've done? You know what you've done? You've taken our one good chance of being found and pissed it away!
Robin: Don't you dare blame this on me. If you were half a pilot, we WOULDN'T BE ON THIS ISLAND!
Quinn: I am the best god damn pilot you'll ever meet!
Robin: Hah! I've flown with you twice, you've crashed half the time.
Robin: [walks away, leaving Quinn confused at her logic, does a double take] And there is nothing wrong with my tits!
