- [Flint shatters a billiard ball with a hand-held sonic device]
- Cramden: It's extraordinary!
- Flint: [scoffing] Ah, it's a toy. However, we *are* making such scientific strides that...
- Flint: [grabbing a book from shelf and handing it to Cramden] ... this last year's book is already out of date.
- Cramden: [incredulously] How *do* you find time to read?
- Flint: No, no, I wrote that. Already obsolete.
- Lisa: You're quite accustomed to being admired by women, aren't you? All those, uh, ridiculous, uh...
- Flint: Sighs? Yes, you're quite right. They are ridiculous. I must say it's refreshing to be with a beautiful woman who's above that sort of thing.
- Lisa: Why I never said I was above that sort of thing. What I meant was...
- Flint: Yes?
- Lisa: You really are good at it Mr. Flint.
- [Flint laughs]
- Lisa: Tell me something. What is it about you that makes you so irresistible to women?
- Flint: It's very simple. I don't compete with them.
- Flint: [after taking Lisa's face and kissing her] Now that ends the suspense.
- Lisa: You're quite right. I was curious. Well, now you've had the tour and so have I.
- Natasha, the Ballerina: Derek, darling. Your American music is so decadent.
- Flint: Yeah.
- Natasha, the Ballerina: But it's so exciting.
- Flint: Well, that's where it's at, honey.
- Flint: Eh, how much time do we have?
- Lisa: We have less than an hour.
- [Flint whistles, then walks over to the President]
- Flint: Sir, a call from you. There's an airbase close by.
- President Trent: [dejected since he is currently being impersonated by an double] Who'd believe me?
- [Flint sighs, then turns to girls when he remembers there is a lot of recreational water craft - some human powered - that could be used to invade the other island launch site]
- Flint: Well I saw a lot of floating stuff up there and your staff I understand is quite athletic.
- Elisabeth: I don't know what you mean.
- Lisa: I do. Look Miss Elisabeth our way just didn't work.
- [Lisa turns to Flint]
- Lisa: I'll get the rest of the girls and I'll meet you at the beach.
- Elisabeth: What will you do when you get there?
- Lisa: Operation Smooch.
- Elisabeth: Operation Smooch?
- Flint: Operation? Smooch?
- Lisa: Smooch.
- [Flint chuckles]
- [Flint thinks he has found a flaw in the women's plan to take over the world]
- Flint: But. What about the millions of the women throughout the world who may not see your little plan just the way you do?
- Elisabeth: Did you say millions?
- Flint: Millions yes.
- Elisabeth: [to Lisa] My dear, show Mr. Flint how the hair dryer works. Go ahead Mr. Flint, I think you will be quite interested.
- Flint: Hair dryer?
- [Flint watches as Lisa removes hair dyer side panel revealing a small running reel-to-reel tape deck]
- Flint: I suppose when the hair is wet the current is conducted and the programming is received.
- [Flint turns off the tape player]
- Flint: Brain and hair washing at the same time.
- Lisa: Exactly.
- Flint: [sighing] You really think you can get away with *this*?
- Elisabeth: Get away with it? Oh Mr. Flint, think a minute. Think. Now then, hair dryers like these have been in use for some time. Correct?
- Flint: Yes, correct.
- Elisabeth: Very well, for many years now every time a woman went into a beauty shop she came out a *little* bit more dissatisfied with a man's world. We've been busy Mr. Flint. I think you'll find, the contented housewife, is a thing of the past.
- Flint: Ladies. *Forget it*.
- [the women repeat Flint's last two words in a shocked tone]
- Flint: [pointing to the cryogenic booths] Is this real?
- Lisa: Cryobiology?
- Flint: Yes.
- Lisa: Oh yes. Yes it's quite real. We call it our "Save for Later" program.
- Flint: [chuckling] Nooo.
- Lisa: Yes. Here people worth keeping can be saved for a time more worth living. As a matter of fact it's, uh, really quite the ultimate luxury.
- Flint: Hmm.
- Lisa: Just imagine. Just imagine here we can suspend time for as long as we wish. To return fifty or a hundred years later.
- Flint: Well. To be frozen in nitrogen gas and then thawed out at some time later like a supermarket pizza is not exactly the classical idea of immortality but...
- [Flint points out framed mirror on wall with the words 'Eternity Now' etched on it]
- [everyone thinks Flint has just been killed in saving the world]
- President Trent: He'll not be forgotten, Lloyd. There'll be a national, no an international day of mourning for him. I'll issue a proclamation.
- Flint: [over the radio after it buzzes] Mission control. Control center. Control center. Awaiting instructions.
- Cramden: It's Flint. He's alive!
- [the crowd cheers]
- Cramden: He must be on the platform.
- President Trent: That's impossible!
- Cramden: Of course it is. That's why he's Flint!
- Cramden: [laughing, then talking into the radio mic] Congratulates Flint. Hah! Ah, you made it. We'll get you back safely. We've got a recovery team in the area of the Canary Islands.
- Flint: Oh, sorry sir, but the Canary Islands seems a bit far out to me, uh, we would appreciate it, splashdown instructions for, say, Central Park.
- Cramden: [Camden laughs again, surprised] Central Park! Get the coordinates for Central Park.
- President Trent: Well, ladies. It was touch and go but I hope you learned your lesson. The world is better off in our hands.
- Elisabeth: You're absolutely right, sir.
- [Flint is introduced to the four top women behind everything that has been happening]
- Flint: But I know all of you ladies.
- Flint: [pointing to them in turn] Fashions. Cosmetics. Publications. Communications. You're all very famous ladies. What you don't manage, you control. What you don't control, you influence. What you don't influence, you probably one day will inherit.
- Elisabeth: That's very well put Mr. Flint. Don't you agree ladies?
