• Dr. Andrews : Billions of dollars have been spent to make these nuclear plants safe. Fail-safe! The odds against anything going wrong are astronomical, Doctor!

  Dr. Hubbard : I appreciate that, Doctor. But let me ask you. In all your fail-safe techniques, is there a provision for an attack by killer bees?

• Dr. Hubbard : [Dismayed]  They're brighter than we thought.

  Dr. Krim : [Defeated]  They always are.

  General Thalius Slater : [Brash]  Maybe you shoulda tried bourbon and branch water and got 'em drunk!

• General Thalius Slater : Well, you dropped your poison pellets and the Africans spit at it. Now they're moving towards Houston faster than expected.

  Dr. Hubbard : General, you should know that the enemy's always expected to do the unexpected.

• General Thalius Slater : I can tell you right now, we're going to have trouble with that nuclear power plant. No way they'll shut down voluntarily. Millions of people in the area need the energy.

  Dr. Hubbard : If we don't shut 'em down, the bees will.
