  • Bill Maxwell: [meeting Tony for the first time] If you're looking for trouble, you've just come across the West Coast distributor.
  • Bill Maxwell: If I'm not supposed to run this show, then why did our friends from the twilight zone put me aboard?
  • Pam Davidson: Comic relief?
  • Bill Maxwell: Well, what I got here, what you don't got, Mr. Hinkley, is a dead partner. If you will recall, somebody shot him full o' holes, which is a definite no-no in my book. That's the same one I mentioned a moment ago, the one I go by.
  • John Mackie: Mr. Hinkley, it's up to you and Bill now. You've gotta do this. You've gotta take this on. You can change things. Save this planet from destruction.
  • Bill Maxwell: Who shot ya? Who did that to you, John? Are you all right?
  • John Mackie: I'm dead. Ain't that a laugh? Been dead for six hours. The ship picked me up out there afterwards. I'm leaving with them. It's a new life for me. Nice working with you, Bill.
  • Pam Davidson: I don't know about you two, but I am started to get very frightened. Now, why don't we just call one of your superiors and get some help.
  • Bill Maxwell: Oh good, that's terrific, counselor. What are you gonna tell 'em? That we saw a spaceship, that it talked to us, Ralph has some long underwear and cape that makes him fly around in the sky? That's a straight shot to the rubber room, honey. You already seen that once.
  • Bill Maxwell: [to Pam] You cannot step off a roller coaster, honey, just because it's going too fast.
  • Ralph Hinkley: He's right. We're in this, we have to do something.
  • Bill Maxwell: Whoa. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this not our very first point of agreement, on anything?
  • Ralph Hinkley: I believe it is, Bill.
  • Bill Maxwell: Well, a ray of sunshine. Shall we dance?
  • Pam Davidson: Are you saying this insanity has something to do with getting Taft in the Oval Office?
  • Bill Maxwell: Well, we're just running it past the scanner, sweetheart, trying to find a little radio activity.
  • Ralph Hinkley: Listen, Bill, I hate to be a crick at this late date, but don't you think that plan is a little bit sketchy?
  • Bill Maxwell: It's sketchy, it stinks. You got a better one, let's hear it.
  • Pam Davidson: Somebody ought to keep the President from landing.
  • Ralph Hinkley: She's got a good point there, Bill.
  • Bill Maxwell: Well, it's got to be up to you. Buzz or something, anything.
  • Ralph Hinkley: Buzz him? You mean, fly up at that helicopter?
  • Bill Maxwell: Yeah.
  • Ralph Hinkley: Listen, man, I am Captain Crash. I navigate like I was hit with a can of Raid. This suit belongs in the Smithsonian. How am I gonna buzz that chopper?
