- Nicole Simmons: Your arm's bionic!
- Col. Steve Austin: Two years ago I was part of an experiment Oscar and Rudy... tried. So far it's worked.

- David Tate: His chances... his chances are not good.
- Col. Steve Austin: I know you, Oscar, you're not just a glorified public servant. You're a man who has to keep trying to find ways to improve things. In a way, you're a pioneer too. Where would I be if you weren't?
