- Ernest Pratt: Nobody wants to read a melodrama about an aristocratic Southern woman who barely survives the burning of Atlanta!
- Ernest Pratt: I have to get into that bunk house.
- Abigail Steele: Oh, Mr. Legend, they have an awful lot of guns.
- Ernest Pratt: Okay, I don't have to get into the bunk house.
- Ernest Pratt: What the heck is that?
- Janos Bartok: Ball lightening.

- Janos Bartok: Thought of by many renounced men of science to be an optical illusion.
- Ernest Pratt: Darn good one, if you ask me.
- Janos Bartok: Yeah, I thought it was an optical illusion myself until I saw one appear accidentally by the tower. I determined that it was a resonance of the electromagnetic field. And what you are seeing, for the very first time in the history of man, is ball lightening created artificially.
- Ernest Pratt: What can you do with it?
- Janos Bartok: I have no idea. It could change the course of human events. Possibly not. Right now it's delightfully useless; and we shall follows this useless research where ever it shall take us!
