- Harlow Gault: Look at them: hypocritical bunch of fools. Each of them is secretly overjoyed at Harlow Gault's death. But I am not dead, am I, my pet? The essence of my genius: my spectacular brain, lives on. I am invincible!
- [maniacal laugh]
- Steve Trevor: [looking at a newspaper picture of athlete Morton Danzig] I can't understand why I don't remember his picture.
- Diana Prince: Well, I think he has a few attributes that women might find more memorable than men.
- Dr. Crippin: Catching up on your reading, Mr. Gault?
- Harlow Gault: [disembodied brain] Today I'm tackling the Russian classics. There. "War and Peace." Read in less than an hour. Not bad, hey, Doctor?
- Tara Landon: To think that people can do more without their bodies than with them.
- Tara Landon: [sitting on couch, talking on phone] Good. Tell Dr. Crippin to have the equipment ready. I'll see the young man right away.
- [to Gault's brain:]
- Tara Landon: That athlete I was telling you about has just arrived.
- Harlow Gault: Let's have a look at him.
- Tara Landon: [switches on video screen] Wait till you see his shoulders... and the muscles in his legs.
- [image of athlete appears]
- Harlow Gault: What's his name?
- Tara Landon: Morton Danzig. An Olympic hopeful. Decathlon.
- Harlow Gault: Means he has stamina.
- Tara Landon: [smiling] Among other things.
- Harlow Gault: I don't know, Tara. I think he's too much an athlete.
- Tara Landon: Nonsense. Dr. Crippin said the donor had to be in perfect physical condition. And that's what I call perfect.
- Harlow Gault: What I mean, my darling... is that perhaps he's too much in the public eye. How would it look for him to suddenly, and without warning, become the financial wizard that takes over Gault Industries?
- Tara Landon: But, Harlow, you promised... You said the choice would be mine, and you'd do whatever needs to be done to legitimize whoever I found.
- Harlow Gault: Yes, that was our arrangement, wasn't it? Your reward for looking after a sickly old man for three years.
- Tara Landon: [wearily] Four.
- Harlow Gault: Well, since you've obviously taken a fancy to him, let's hope, my passion flower, that he passes all of Dr. Crippin's tests.
- Tara Landon: Good. I'll get him started right away.
