Ben

"Unable. Malfunction".

Howard

How can it refuse to turn itself off?

Skroeder

Maybe it's pissed off.

It's a machine, Skroeder. It doesn't get pissed off. It doesn't get happy, it doesn't get sad, it doesn't laugh at your jokes.

Ben and Crosby

It just runs programs.

Howard

It usually runs programs.

Howard
[after Number 5 refuses to return to base]

Oh, my God. It's not coming back. We've gotta destroy it.

No. Howard, you're overreacting. You can't.

Ben

Look, let us at least try to catch it first.

Yeah. We'll panic later. Okay?

Howard

What if you don't catch it? What if it goes out and melts down a busload of nuns?! How would you like to write the headline on that one?!

Ben

"Nun Soup"?

BEN! [covers Ben's mouth]

Howard

Hey! Who told you you could take Number 1?!

Howard, logically, if we need protection from Number 5, this is the best weapon we could have.

Howard

Great. Great! So, instead of $11,000,000 on the loose, we're gonna have 22.

Ben

And plus, we are needing gas money.

Howard

I got a phone call from that loony in the lunch wagon. She wants to see you. Only you.

She does?

Ben

Oh, her pants are blazing for you, Newton Crosby!

Will you grow up?!
