Sherman Howard: Derek Powers

Rebirth: Part 2

Derek Powers

Doctor: The good news is the radiation seems to have completely eradicated the virus.
Derek Powers: What's the bad news?
Doctor: As you know, the mutational properties of the virus can by corrupted by its environment.
[Powers grabs him]
Doctor: Unh!
Derek Powers: Bottom-line it, Doctor.
Doctor: Kill the radiation, please.
[as the radiation is turned off, Powers starts laughing maniacally as he sees himself with a radioactive glow]

Derek Powers: Hello, Terry. Ever had a ride in a limo?
Terry McGinnis: My dad always told me to never take rides from strangers.
Derek Powers: Who's a stranger? Besides, your dad's not around anymore. Be smart, Terry. Get in.
Terry McGinnis: I'll pass.
[Mr. Fixx grabs him and frisks him]
Terry McGinnis: Let go of me! What are you doing? You some kind of sicko? Help! Help!
Derek Powers: That won't do you any good, Terry. Why don't you make it easy on yourself and give me back my disc?
Terry McGinnis: What disc?
Derek Powers: You know what I'm talking about.
Terry McGinnis: All right. If he lets go.
[Fixx lets go, and he takes it out of his shoe]
Terry McGinnis: Happy?
[he throws it away, knees Fixx in the stomach, and flees, dodging gunfire from Powers' bodyguard]
Derek Powers: Enough. Well, at least I've got the evidence.

Derek Powers: Mr. Fixx, any word on the kid?
Mr. Fixx: Not yet, but they're looking.
Derek Powers: I don't have to tell you how important this deal is to Wayne-Powers. It's going to open up the entire Eastern Bloc for us, so I don't need it spoiled by a snot-nosed punk.
Mr. Fixx: I took care of his old man, didn't I?

Derek Powers: It's the ultimate in germ warfare. A viral mutagen so quick-acting and completely invasive, no living cell can resist it. It all began with experiments on plants.
Vilmos Egans: [watching a demonstration] Impressive. But we are looking to do more than wipe out our enemies' crops, Mr. Powers.
Derek Powers: Keep watching. This was our first experiment with livestock. I trust the film puts to rest any lingering doubts, Mr. Egans. As you can see, the results are the same, even with animals.
Vilmos Egans: And humans? You've tested it on them, too?
Derek Powers: The laws here aren't as liberal about that sort of thing as they are in your country, but we did have a little accident; one of my workers. Terrible thing. There was a gas leak in his lab.
[showing him pictures of Harry Tully]
Derek Powers: This is what he looked like the next day. Two hours later. An hour after that.
Vilmos Egans: There is no cure?
Derek Powers: Extreme heat or radiation, but at this stage, it's obviously not an option.
[showing him another picture]
Derek Powers: Dust to dust. Consider what a real dose of this gas could do to those six armored divisions your neighbors keep on your border. Gone... in a matter of hours.
Vilmos Egans: Delivery, it's in progress?
Derek Powers: My men are loading the canisters as we speak. They leave tonight on hover transport. My assistant, Mr. Fixx, will personally supervise the shipment.
Vilmos Egans: Excellent. Goodbye, Mr. Powers. I will see you again soon. I hope.
