Quotes 

• Jeff Tracy : Brains? Give me a reading.

  Brains : [viewing the radar]  There's an unidentified flying object approaching on high-altitude flight path 4-0-8, Mr. Tracy.

  Jeff Tracy : Okay then, Brains. Keep tabs on it.

  Brains : Okay, Mr. Tracy.

  Scott Tracy : 4-0-8? Well, that's not a commercial flight path.

  Jeff Tracy : No, it's quite unusual, I must say.

  Virgil Tracy : What are we going to do, Father?

  Jeff Tracy : What do you expect us to do, intercept? No, as long as our base remains undiscovered, it's unlikely that anyone will attack the island.

  Virgil Tracy : There is one thing we *should* do, though, Father.

  Scott Tracy : Yeah.

  Jeff Tracy : [knowingly]  And what's that?

  Scott Tracy , Virgil Tracy : Operation Cover-Up!

  Jeff Tracy : Right.

• Commander Norman : This is GB7, Aerial Test Control to UK International Tele-Relay. We have an urgent message for you.

  Stan : [to Jim]  Jim, that's us.

  Jim : Go ahead, GB7.

  Commander Norman : There is an unmanned aircraft in your vicinity.

  Jim : [alarmed]  An unmanned aircraft?

  Commander Norman : We advise you to evacuate Sky Control. Repeat - evacuate Sky Control. Over and out.

  Jim : [to Stan]  They're crazy! It's probably a million-to-one chance we'd get hit!

  Stan : Well, they wouldn't have told us to evacuate Sky Control unless we were in real danger! Now, for Pete's sake, get that elevator up here! Quick!
