- Col. Steve Austin: [answering a hotel phone in Austria] This is Dr. Wells.
- Oscar Goldman: Rudy?
- Dr. Rudy Wells: Yes.
- Oscar Goldman: Oscar.
- Dr. Rudy Wells: I just left you. Is there something wrong? Is Steve all right?
- Oscar Goldman: No, Steve's fine. He's right here. Listen, I'm gonna put this call on the speaker.
- Col. Steve Austin: Hey, Rudy, how's the Alps?
- Dr. Rudy Wells: Beautiful. But you didn't call just to ask me how the Alps are. What's going on?
- Col. Steve Austin: Well, Oscar's still a little uneasy about your trip.
- Oscar Goldman: I've still got that feeling, Rudy. Gut instinct.
- Dr. Rudy Wells: You're paranoid?
- Oscar Goldman: Paranoid? If something should happen to Steve, what are we going to do without you?
- Dr. Rudy Wells: After all these years, my alma mater decides to honor me with a doctorate and you try and turn it into a crisis.
- Col. Steve Austin: He's jealous. All he ever gets from his alma mater is a bill for union dues.
- Dr. Rudy Wells: Look, I'll be back in three days, so why don't you just relax, Oscar? Oh, and Steve?
- Col. Steve Austin: Yeah?
- Dr. Rudy Wells: A Dr. Lester's been briefed to replace the diode relay in the muscular flexors, unless you want to wait for me to get back.
- Col. Steve Austin: No, it's working better today, Rudy. I'll wait.
- Oscar Goldman: I'm still going to place a call to our office...
- Dr. Rudy Wells: Why don't you stop worrying? You're worse than my mother.
- Oscar Goldman: Okay. Okay!
- Dr. Rudy Wells: I'll be back in the lab in three days. I'll talk to you then.
- Oscar Goldman: Right.
- [hangs up the phone]
- Alfredo Tucelli: Now I don't understand anything about science or scientists, but you are a man, Dr. Wells. And I know how to get a man to cooperate with me.
- Col. Steve Austin: [to Austrian waitress] Excuse me, but how would you say 'Stop watching him and get outta here right away' in Austrian?
- Dr. Rudy Wells: Get me 10 cc's of Dexathol. After I've injected it into him, he'll follow your instructions to the letter.
- Alfredo Tucelli: You would do that to your creation... to your friend?
- Dr. Rudy Wells: To stop you from killing him, yes.
- Oscar Goldman: Rudy, I'm sorry you're not getting the acclaim you deserve but your work has to be classified top secret.
- Dr. Rudy Wells: Oh, I appreciate what you're saying, Oscar, and I'm not being humble, but... my reward is in seeing Steve function. Not his extraordinary powers, but just living day to day.
