• Doug Roberts : [on security phone with Wes]  Doug... I'm up on 83 with Will. Listen, we got a little wiring problem. If we've got an overload it could be trouble. Shut down as many of the Zone One systems as you can.

  Wes : [into the phone]  I'm afraid I can't do that, Mr. Roberts. We've got all the lights on for the dedication ceremony.

  Doug Roberts : [in disbelief]  All... you mean the whole building?

  Wes : Well, we're taking the overload just fine.

  Doug Roberts : [sharply]  Well shut it down, right away!

  Wes : But I can't do that without a direct okay from Mr. Duncan himself.

  Doug Roberts : I'll accept the responsibility for that. Just turn off the goddamned lights!

  Wes : What about the lights in the tower for the party?

  Doug Roberts : I didn't say kill all the power, just the overload!

  Wes : Yes sir, Mr. Roberts.
