Quotes 

• C.J. Jackson : [Halston carries in an unconscious Bonnie]  Now this is what I call room service. Did you bring one for C.J.?

  Dr. David Halston : Don't get any ideas.

• Dr. David Halston : [after linking Michael up to some cables]  All finished - how do you feel?

  Michael Knight : Like a guinea pig!

  Dr. David Halston : That's exactly what you are! I'm doing a computerised project on pain - from inception to threshold.

  [Noticing Michael looking concerned] 

  Dr. David Halston : Don't worry.

  [Pointing to a button on the floor] 

  Dr. David Halston : You can abort anytime you choose by stepping on that button in front of your chair. If that's not enough, I'm wired in just like you are, I'll feel everything that you feel, and believe me - I'm not a masochist! Are you ready?

  Michael Knight : Wait a minute - what am I supposed to do?

  Dr. David Halston : Feel the pain!

  Michael Knight : Until?

  Dr. David Halston : Until one of us aborts.

  Michael Knight : Why do I feel like this is some sort of contest?

  Dr. David Halston : Perhaps it's just your competitive nature! Ready?

  [Michael nods. David turns a small dial and Michael shows signs of being in discomfort, whereas David appears unperturbed. David turns the dial further, and Michael is visibly shaking and in pain, but David shows no ill effects. He keeps turning the dial higher and Michael is quivering in intense pain until he slams his foot on the abort button and a buzzer is heard. The pain machine is deactivated and Michael is sweating and panting] 

  Dr. David Halston : Stay right there, I'll unstrap you.

  Michael Knight : How come you're not sweating?

  Dr. David Halston : I never do - I didn't feel any pain.

  Michael Knight : [Michael notices a loose cable on the ground]  Maybe it's because you forgot to hook up your wires!

  Dr. David Halston : [Appearing surprised]  Imagine that! Still, you make an excellent subject!

  Michael Knight : [In a stern voice]  Dr Halston - you try something like that again, it'd be a BIG mistake!

• Bubba : Let me get this straight. All you wanna do is to use the basement to explore some old Chinese tunnels, is that right?

  Dr. David Halston : That's right. What could be simpler? Or more profitable for you? Fifty grand Bubba - that's enough to put those foxes there through medical school.

  C.J. Jackson : But not half enough to pay your medical bill if you start jerking us around.

• C.J. Jackson : [CJ and Peter are digging through a tunnel]  I can't work with all this dirt piling up.

  Peter Wong : I'm shovelling as fast as I can.

  C.J. Jackson : The way you shovel I don't know how you people got these tunnels dug in the first place!

  Peter Wong : No more racial slurs! One more racial slur, and you can shovel your own dirt yourself!

  Dr. David Halston : [CJ grabs Peter violently by the collar just as David walks in]  Whoa! Break time! Break time!

  C.J. Jackson : [Releases Peter and calms down]  Look who dropped in, Dr Feel Good!

• Bonnie Barstow : You're insane!

  Dr. David Halston : Perhaps I am. That's all the more reason for you to behave!

• Dr. David Halston : [Holding Bonnie hostage with a gun pointed at Michael]  Stay where you are! You try to follow us, she's dead, remember that!

  Michael Knight : You hurt her, and there's not a place on this Earth that I won't find you! You remember THAT!

• Margo Sheridan : We just want to make use of your extraordinary talents.

  Peter Wong : My talents?

  Dr. David Halston : As one of the best wiremen in the business!

  Peter Wong : [laughing nervously]  That was in my past, I'm trying to go clean now. I'm a chef.

  Margo Sheridan : Peter, as a chef, you couldn't heat up a frozen egg roll!
