- Edgar Hill: Now, look here! We'll have to detain her.

- Bruce Templeton: Didn't recognize you with your clothes on.
- Jennifer Nelson: Aaah! Aaah! Who are you? Who is he?

- Bruce Templeton: This vault of 10-inch steel plate will open only to the frequency of my own voice repeating this equation: G for gamma, B for beta, A for alpha, Omega for open sesame.

- Jennifer Nelson: Hey! What in heaven's name do you think you're doing?
- Bruce Templeton: You talkin' to me?
- Jennifer Nelson: Yes, I'm talking to you! That's my suit on your line!
- Bruce Templeton: Oh I'm sorry... that's a funny-looking suit.

- Bruce Templeton: Well, it's kind of difficult. it's all tangled. Why don't you come aboard, and I'll untangle it for you

- Bruce Templeton: I wasn't exactly fishing.
- Jennifer Nelson: Then what were you doing?
- Bruce Templeton: Maybe I was hunting for mermaids.
- Jennifer Nelson: I'm going to have you arrested.
- Bruce Templeton: They're going to have you arrested, for going around without your bottom.
- Jennifer Nelson: This is called The Clean Room. It's completely sterilized so that no dust or dirt will contaminate the critical parts. Workers entering the clean room must first stand on this grate, which shakes off dust from shoes and clothing. Like this... Oh dear, I guess we better go now. We'll go that way.
- [Her shoe is stuck in the grate]
- Bruce Templeton: We never did get to introduce ourselves, did we?
- Jennifer Nelson: Well, let's leave it that way, shall we?
