Quotes4

  • Dr. Andrews: Billions of dollars have been spent to make these nuclear plants safe. Fail-safe! The odds against anything going wrong are astronomical, Doctor!
  • Dr. Hubbard: I appreciate that, Doctor. But let me ask you. In all your fail-safe techniques, is there a provision for an attack by killer bees?
  • Dr. Hubbard: [Dismayed] They're brighter than we thought.
  • Dr. Krim: [Defeated] They always are.
  • General Thalius Slater: [Brash] Maybe you shoulda tried bourbon and branch water and got 'em drunk!
  • General Thalius Slater: Well, you dropped your poison pellets and the Africans spit at it. Now they're moving towards Houston faster than expected.
  • Dr. Hubbard: General, you should know that the enemy's always expected to do the unexpected.
  • General Thalius Slater: I can tell you right now, we're going to have trouble with that nuclear power plant. No way they'll shut down voluntarily. Millions of people in the area need the energy.
  • Dr. Hubbard: If we don't shut 'em down, the bees will.
