- [each member of the team makes a request in return for the decryption chip]
- Whistler: I want peace on earth and goodwill toward man.
- Bernard Abbott: Oh, this is ridiculous.
- Martin Bishop: He's serious.
- Whistler: I want peace on earth and goodwill toward men.
- Bernard Abbott: We are the United States Government! We don't do that sort of thing.
- Martin Bishop: You're just gonna have to try.
- Bernard Abbott: All right, I'll see what I can do.
- Whistler: Thank you very much. That's all I ask.
- Martin Bishop: If I come in with what I know, can you guarantee my safety?
- Bernard Abbott: Do you have the item?
- Martin Bishop: No.
- Whistler: Fifteen seconds.
- Martin Bishop: Can you guarantee my safety?
- Bernard Abbott: Where is the item?
- Martin Bishop: [more emphatic] Can you guarantee my safety?
- Martin Bishop: How's the audio?
- Whistler: Good, Mother's pretty close.
- Donald Crease: He's just wearing four safety belts this time.
- Martin Bishop: What, no parachute?
- Martin Bishop: The probable level of security is very low. But if you guys don't want to take that chance just to keep me out of jail, fine, I understand, I'll do it.
- Whistler: Well, Bish, I can't speak for the other guys, but I'm in it for the money, I don't care if you go to jail.
- Carl: Me neither. I'm in.
- Carl: One thing I don't quite get though, is that you and Cosmo were taking all these chances, all these big chances. I mean, what for?
- Martin Bishop: We were young, and there was a war on. It was a good way to meet girls.
- Liz: I'll bet.
- Mother: How come you didn't get caught?
- Martin Bishop: I went out for pizza... then I went to Canada. I was lucky, he wasn't.
- Whistler: Did he ever forgive you?
- Martin Bishop: I hope so. He died in prison.
