H 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.
BA Ben and Crosby
It just runs programs.
H Howard
It usually runs programs.
H 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.
Look, let us at least try to catch it first.
Yeah. We'll panic later. Okay?
H 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! [covers Ben's mouth]
H 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.
H Howard
Great. Great! So, instead of $11,000,000 on the loose, we're gonna have 22.
And plus, we are needing gas money.
H Howard
I got a phone call from that loony in the lunch wagon. She wants to see you. Only you.
Oh, her pants are blazing for you, Newton Crosby!
