  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Hey, where'd Major Kong go?
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Hey, what about Major Kong?
  • Major T. J. "King" Kong: Wahoo! Waawaahaa! Wawahoo!
  • Major T. J. "King" Kong: [on the final bomb run] All set. Check bomb door circuits one through four.
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: [as he flips each switch] Uh... bomb door circuits negative function. The lights are all red.
  • Major T. J. "King" Kong: Switch into backup circuits.
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Backup circuits are switched on. Still negative function.
  • Major T. J. "King" Kong: Engage emergency power.
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Emergency power is on. Still negative, sir.
  • Major T. J. "King" Kong: Operate manual override.
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Roger.
  • [there is a pause as Zogg begins turning a small wheel device on the panel, but the 'closed' bomb door lights continue to flash]
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Manuel override negative function. I think the cable link to the override must be sheared away.
  • Major T. J. "King" Kong: [getting frustrated] Fire the explosive bolts!
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Roger...
  • [Zogg flips the switch many times, lifts the cover of a switch protector and flips its switch many times for the explosive bolts to blow the bomb doors open, but the 'closed' light continues to blink]
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Negative, sir. The operating circuits are dead, sir.
  • Lieutenant Lothar Zogg: Major Kong, is it possible this is some kind of loyalty test, you know, give the go-code and, then, recall, to see who would actually go?
  • Major T. J. "King" Kong: Ain't nobody ever got the go-code yet. And ol' Ripper wouldn't given us Plan R unless them Russkies had already clobbered Washington and a lot of other towns with a sneak attack.
