Cramden
- [Flint shatters a billiard ball with a hand-held sonic device]
- Cramden: It's extraordinary!
- Flint: [scoffing] Ah, it's a toy. However, we *are* making such scientific strides that...
- Flint: [grabbing a book from shelf and handing it to Cramden] ... this last year's book is already out of date.
- Cramden: [incredulously] How *do* you find time to read?
- Flint: No, no, I wrote that. Already obsolete.
- [everyone thinks Flint has just been killed in saving the world]
- President Trent: He'll not be forgotten, Lloyd. There'll be a national, no an international day of mourning for him. I'll issue a proclamation.
- Flint: [over the radio after it buzzes] Mission control. Control center. Control center. Awaiting instructions.
- Cramden: It's Flint. He's alive!
- [the crowd cheers]
- Cramden: He must be on the platform.
- President Trent: That's impossible!
- Cramden: Of course it is. That's why he's Flint!
- Cramden: [laughing, then talking into the radio mic] Congratulates Flint. Hah! Ah, you made it. We'll get you back safely. We've got a recovery team in the area of the Canary Islands.
- Flint: Oh, sorry sir, but the Canary Islands seems a bit far out to me, uh, we would appreciate it, splashdown instructions for, say, Central Park.
- Cramden: [Camden laughs again, surprised] Central Park! Get the coordinates for Central Park.
