Frank Towns:
"The little men with the slide rules and computers are going to inherit the earth".
Goofs
After the injured Gabriele cuts his wrists, Towns uses a stick to dip in the tanks. In close-up, he removes the stick to examine it. In the next wide shot as Dorfmann says "come along, it is quite essential to maintain our schedule", Towns has the stick back inside the tank and is taking it out again.
