Quotes
-
[Kyrano and Parker are "discussing" who should serve drinks]
Kyrano : It is *my* duty to serve the drinks, Mr. Parker.
Parker : Yes. But I thought you'd like to see how it's *really* done.
Kyrano : I have had no complains on my service from Mr. Tracy so far.
Parker : I'm quite sure he appreciates that you're doing it to the best of your ability, Kyrano.
Kyrano : [pulling the tray back] I *always* have the honour to serve this household.
Parker : [pulling the tray back] Ah, but you don't *always* have a butler from one of England's stately homes.
Kyrano : [pulling the tray harder] Forgive me, but I *insist*!
Parker : [pulling the tray harder still] Take your *hands* off my tray!
[the tray overbalances and all drinks fall off]
Jeff Tracy : [hearing the drink glasses breaking] From the sound of it, we're going to stay thirsty.

Lady Penelope : Alan, what's wrong?
Alan Tracy : It's an emergency! An emergency!
Lady Penelope : You mean... you mean a rescue?
Alan Tracy : That's just what it is! A rescue!
Lady Penelope : Oh, you've got to let me in on it, Alan!
Alan Tracy : Sure!
Lady Penelope : What's happened?
Alan Tracy : It's Scott. And I don't know whether we can save him.
Lady Penelope : Well, what are we waiting for? Alert Thunderbird 1! Um, Thunderbird 2! Where's Jeff? Why isn't he here? Parker! The Rolls! Oh, Alan, what's the procedure, I don't know it?
[Virgil and Gordon then come into the room laughing and Lady Penelope realises that they were playing a joke on her]
Lady Penelope : Why, you young rascals! You really had me believe it.
Gordon Tracy : Uh, sorry, Lady Penelope. We just couldn't resist it.
Virgil Tracy : Yeah, guess we're as bored as you.
Lady Penelope : Well, at least Scott isn't in any trouble.
Gordon Tracy : That's just where you're wrong. In fact, it gave us the idea.
Virgil Tracy : Grandma caught him sampling a special cake she baked for tonight.
Alan Tracy : [jokingly] Yes, ma'am. Scott really does need rescuing.
[Alan, Virgil and Gordon laugh]

[Wade and Collins finish the routine check of their atomic plant in the Sahara Desert]
Reactor Controller Collins : Finished the routine check?
Reactor Controller Wade : Yep. All completed.
Reactor Controller Collins : [looks outside the window at the results] Oh, it's fantastic, isn't it? Not so long ago, this whole area was a desert. And now look at it.
Reactor Controller Wade : Well, that's the idea of the scheme: Process the sea and oceans with atomic energy and fresh water, and then pump it out into the earth's deserts.
Reactor Controller Collins : And this whole section handled by just the two of us.
Reactor Controller Wade : Yep, just the two of us. And one fully automated atomic station.
