• Corporal Simon : There are 105 iron cannonballs in these three pyramids. Each ball weighs forty-two pounds. And there's only one minor little problem.

  James T. West : Someone stacked them in the wrong place.

  Corporal Simon : You got brains, too. On the other side of the parade ground. Start stacking.

  James T. West : You realize, of course, this may ruin our friendship.

  Corporal Simon : I'll take that chance. Start stacking.

• Dr. Sara Gibson : I've examined you thoroughly. There are no broken bones but you are a mass of contusions and bruises.

  James T. West : Well, cannonballs usually do have that effect on me.

• James T. West : Rockets!

  Din Chang : Why should you be so surprised? It's what we Chinese are so good at - rockets. Long before the rest of the world graduated from their spears and bows and arrows, we Chinese had developed rockets to a remarkable degree.

• Din Chang : Now, young man, let's see what a strategist you are. What could be the purpose of these rocket launchers set up here in the cliff, overlooking the bay?

  James T. West : Well, if you could fire the rockets without blowing up yourselves, then you could control the bay. You could bottle up shipping. Zero in on the mainland, depending of course on your range. Now, if you could do that, then you can name your own price for San Francisco.

  Din Chang : Very good. Very good indeed.

• Corporal Simon : Take a good look around, Cort. You won't be seeing sunshine again.

  James T. West : One thing I can always count on from you is a few cheerful words.
