Steve Austin: Jean? I was in the desert today. I didn't want to die. I wanted to make it back.

Oliver Spencer: Well, congratulations, Steve.

Steve Austin: Fooled you.

Oliver Spencer: Did you?

Steve Austin: Uh-huh. I made it back.

Oliver Spencer: Well, I was always hoping you would.

Steve Austin: Bend down here a minute, Spencer, I want to tell you something.

Oliver Spencer: Yes?

Steve Austin: [ whispers ]

Oliver Spencer: Really? Well, I haven't been called that since grammar school.

Dr. Rudy Wells: Steve, we're going to put you back into electro-sleep to get you through the pain. You'll be healing while you sleep, okay?

Steve Austin: You're the doctor.

Oliver Spencer: Dr. Wells? Is it possible to keep him asleep indefinitely?

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?
