Mike Steen: Steele

Quotes 

• Steele : [adjusting his thermal suit]  Tomorrow I'm taking this suit back to the tailor!

• [Rampion and Steele are lowering a concrete-encased atomic bomb through a twisted volcanic chimney, stopped at the last ledge above a chamber of molten lava] 

  Dr. Ted Rampion : OK Steele, let's push it.

  [bomb doesn't move] 

  Steele : It's hung up. I'll go down and free it.

  [to crane] 

  Steele : Lower me five feet.

  [Steele gets under bomb and works to free it. As it starts to dislodge, his support cable becomes wedged between the ledge and the bomb casing] 

  Dr. Ted Rampion : [noticing Steele's cable]  Don't cross over, Steele! Stay on your own si-

  [cable fails] 

  Dr. Ted Rampion : STEELE!

  [Steele screams as he falls headlong into the molten lava, disappearing in a flash of flame] 

  Dr. Ted Rampion : [softly]  Oh my god.

  Simpson : His cable snapped!

  Dr. Ted Rampion : Steele's gone.
