Quotes 

• Doctor : The good news is the radiation seems to have completely eradicated the virus.

  Derek Powers : What's the bad news?

  Doctor : As you know, the mutational properties of the virus can by corrupted by its environment.

  [Powers grabs him] 

  Doctor : Unh!

  Derek Powers : Bottom-line it, Doctor.

  Doctor : Kill the radiation, please.

  [as the radiation is turned off, Powers starts laughing maniacally as he sees himself with a radioactive glow] 

• Derek Powers : Hello, Terry. Ever had a ride in a limo?

  Terry McGinnis : My dad always told me to never take rides from strangers.

  Derek Powers : Who's a stranger? Besides, your dad's not around anymore. Be smart, Terry. Get in.

  Terry McGinnis : I'll pass.

  [Mr. Fixx grabs him and frisks him] 

  Terry McGinnis : Let go of me! What are you doing? You some kind of sicko? Help! Help!

  Derek Powers : That won't do you any good, Terry. Why don't you make it easy on yourself and give me back my disc?

  Terry McGinnis : What disc?

  Derek Powers : You know what I'm talking about.

  Terry McGinnis : All right. If he lets go.

  [Fixx lets go, and he takes it out of his shoe] 

  Terry McGinnis : Happy?

  [he throws it away, knees Fixx in the stomach, and flees, dodging gunfire from Powers' bodyguard] 

  Derek Powers : Enough. Well, at least I've got the evidence.

• Derek Powers : Mr. Fixx, any word on the kid?

  Mr. Fixx : Not yet, but they're looking.

  Derek Powers : I don't have to tell you how important this deal is to Wayne-Powers. It's going to open up the entire Eastern Bloc for us, so I don't need it spoiled by a snot-nosed punk.

  Mr. Fixx : I took care of his old man, didn't I?

• Derek Powers : It's the ultimate in germ warfare. A viral mutagen so quick-acting and completely invasive, no living cell can resist it. It all began with experiments on plants.

  Vilmos Egans : [watching a demonstration]  Impressive. But we are looking to do more than wipe out our enemies' crops, Mr. Powers.

  Derek Powers : Keep watching. This was our first experiment with livestock. I trust the film puts to rest any lingering doubts, Mr. Egans. As you can see, the results are the same, even with animals.

  Vilmos Egans : And humans? You've tested it on them, too?

  Derek Powers : The laws here aren't as liberal about that sort of thing as they are in your country, but we did have a little accident; one of my workers. Terrible thing. There was a gas leak in his lab.

  [showing him pictures of Harry Tully] 

  Derek Powers : This is what he looked like the next day. Two hours later. An hour after that.

  Vilmos Egans : There is no cure?

  Derek Powers : Extreme heat or radiation, but at this stage, it's obviously not an option.

  [showing him another picture] 

  Derek Powers : Dust to dust. Consider what a real dose of this gas could do to those six armored divisions your neighbors keep on your border. Gone... in a matter of hours.

  Vilmos Egans : Delivery, it's in progress?

  Derek Powers : My men are loading the canisters as we speak. They leave tonight on hover transport. My assistant, Mr. Fixx, will personally supervise the shipment.

  Vilmos Egans : Excellent. Goodbye, Mr. Powers. I will see you again soon. I hope.
