Quotes
-
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Well, Hadji, how does it feel to be back in your native land?
Hadji : It feels fine, except they don't have hamburgers, sir.
-
Dr. Benton C. Quest : If ever I said I didn't want that dog on the trip, I most humbly apologize.
-
Corbin : How 'bout that! The gold is disintegrating.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Not gold - zanium.
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Zanium? Never heard of it.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Well, little is known about the metal. To my knowledge, hardly a thimbleful has ever been obtained.
Corbin : Zanium, eh? Well, that figures. Anything the Maharaja of Jahilipur is mixed up in...
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Jahilipur? Hey, that name rings a bell.
Corbin : And it should. He's been mixed up in gun-running, smuggling, the works.
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : And anything for a fast rupee, huh?
Corbin : Yeah. And speaking of fast rupees, guess who else is in the act. Abdul Kaseem.
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Kaseem? Boy, with a cast of characters like that, no wonder you were suspicious.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Only one man besides myself knew the transmutation process - Professor Gunderson.
Corbin : Gunderson, eh? Can we talk with him?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : I'm afraid not. Six months ago, Gunderson met an untimely death in an airplane accident in India.
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Wouldn't have been at Jahilipur, would it?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Why, yes, Race. That's exactly where it was.
Roger T. 'Race' Bannon : Well, put two and one together - two crooks and one professor - and it adds up to something Intelligence One should look into.

Corbin : [presenting Dr. Quest a bar of recent gold from Jahilipur] Look, Dr. Quest, how come a mine that we know was tapped out fifty years ago suddenly starts producing more gold than ever before?
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Perhaps they've discovered a new vain.
Corbin : Or a new racket.
Dr. Benton C. Quest : Yes... All right, Corbin, let's take this back to Palm Key for further tests.
