Quotes 

• Dr. Rudy Wells : I want to show you something, Steve. This is your arm.

  Steve Austin : That's it, huh?

  Dr. Rudy Wells : Um-hmn. We're rather proud of it. There's a manual that goes with it that has eight hundred and forty pages. I'll give you a copy.

• Oliver Spencer : Doctor Welles. Is it possible to keep him asleep indefinately?

  Dr. Rudy Wells : Now, what are you going to do? Keep him under between assignments and wake him up only when you need him? Over my dead body.

  Oliver Spencer : It was just an idea. Not a bad one at that, eh?

• Dr. Rudy Wells : Steve, you got a positive genius for antagonizing the wrong people.

  Steve Austin : I know, it's story of my life.

• Dr. Rudy Wells : We've given you an eye for an eye, haven't we? An arm for an arm?

  Steve Austin : My arm didn't come packed in a wooden box!

• Mrs. McKay : [watching Steve Austin run on a monitor]  He's not even breathing hard!

  Dr. Rudy Wells : Well, you see, his lungs are used to handling oxygen for the blood supply for two arms and two legs. Now they only have to take care of one.

• Oliver Spencer : [27:14]  I can understand your feelings, doctor.

  Dr. Rudy Wells : Do you?

  Oliver Spencer : Yes, you're a very close friend. I understand. You have a remarkable opportunity, doctor.

  Dr. Rudy Wells : What do you mean?

  Oliver Spencer : We've been watching your work very closely for some time, now. You claim that you and your research team can take a man in Steve Austin's condition, replace the arm, both legs and possibly even the eye and make him come out even better, possibly, than he was before. Is that correct?

  Dr. Rudy Wells : Theoretically, it could work, yes.

  Oliver Spencer : Theoretically. I am prepared to give you all the money you require to make that happen.

  Dr. Rudy Wells : Are you serious? That could cost millions.

  Oliver Spencer : Whatever it takes, we want you to do it. What's the problem, doctor?

  Dr. Rudy Wells : The problem is, it's all on paper. It should work. But if it doesn't, what do I tell him?
