Cary Elwes credited as playing...
Michael Collins
- [Reading telegrams to the Apollo 8 crew during their mission]
- Michael Collins: And we've got a telegram here from a Mrs. Valerie Pringle. I'm sure it's not a name that any of you recognize, it's just something that one of the Public Affairs people picked up 'cause he liked it. Mrs. Pringle writes, very simply, "You saved 1968."
- [discussing what Neil Armstrong will say when he steps onto the surface of the moon]
- Frank Borman: What are you guys gonna say?
- Michael Collins: If you had any balls, you'd say "Oh, my God, what is that thing?" then scream and cut your mike.
- [to the Apollo 8 astronauts as they prepare to leave orbit]
- Michael Collins: You are 'go' for T.L.I., gentlemen. You are 'go' for the Moon.
- Frank Borman: Roger, Houston, Apollo 8 is 'go.'
- Capcom: and "Pravda" is calling Neil Armstrong the "czar" of the ship.
- Michael Collins: Well, right now the "czar" is brushing his teeth.
