- Cobra Commander: Less than 12 hours and it's all gone wrong. I mean, you know I missed some of them with the cannon shot... YOU KNOW IT! There is only one thing to do. Ramp up the reactor output! I want to start striking cities randomly, until they give me what I WANT!
- Cobra Commander: [to Duke from his safe room] You can't stop it from firing. Washington is going to boil away to nothing and it's going to be your fault! What have you got to say about that?
- [Duke opens fire, only for the bullets to have no effect]
- Cobra Commander: Bulletproof and bombproof. This pod even has its own life support and power source. You should have just let me win.
