John de Lancie: Janos Bartok

Quotes 

• Ernest Pratt : What the heck is that?

  Janos Bartok : Ball lightening.

  Huitzilopochtli Ramos : Actually, Aristotle called them fire balls.

  Janos Bartok : Thought of by many renounced men of science to be an optical illusion.

  Ernest Pratt : Darn good one, if you ask me.

  Janos Bartok : Yeah, I thought it was an optical illusion myself until I saw one appear accidentally by the tower. I determined that it was a resonance of the electromagnetic field. And what you are seeing, for the very first time in the history of man, is ball lightening created artificially.

  Ernest Pratt : What can you do with it?

  Janos Bartok : I have no idea. It could change the course of human events. Possibly not. Right now it's delightfully useless; and we shall follows this useless research where ever it shall take us!
