Quotes 

• Dr. Benton C. Quest : Could we run that video tape again, Professor?

  Professor : Of course, Dr. Quest. Now notice, Doctor, this is the point at which our missile began to veer. At the same time, the destruction mechanism failed to activate. We lost sight of it completely. No mater how many times I run the tape, I still don't understand it.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Neither do I, but I'll take a guess: It's got to be either a malfunction, tampering, or an outside force taking over the controls of our missile. Well, let's hope we learn the answers after I reach the crash point.

  Professor : Dr. Quest, there could be others trying to reach our missile before you.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Well, that possibility has already occurred to me, Professor.

• Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Now, if there WAS tampering...

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Well, Race, it would explain the failure of the destruction mechanism.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Which could only mean one thing.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Whoever they are, they want that missile intact.

• Dr. Benton C. Quest : Take a look. The destruction activator has been cut through.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : So that's how they downed the missile intact, then they could pick up your newest directional system.

  Submarine Commander : Precisely why we are here.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Ohh... The villain.

  Submarine Commander : Hardly villains. Merely interested neutral observers.

  Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Who do a little equipment-snatching on the side.

• Jonny Quest : Hey, Haj, look over there. Someone goofed. They brought the airplane but they forgot the wings.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : [chuckling]  It's not an airplane, Jonny. It's a snow skimmer. We'll use it for fast trips back to the ship. It'll do over a hundred miles an hour.

  Jonny Quest : That means... we don't get to use a dogsled?

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Not this trip, son.

  Jonny Quest : Aw, too bad, Bandit. We were gonna put you to work. Come on, boy. Mush! Mush, Bandit, mush! Looks like I used the right word with him. He ACTS just like a bowl of mush.
