Quotes 

• Senator Hill : [having just crash landed a private plane]  God knows where we are, but we're alive.

  [turns to Steve Austin] 

  Senator Hill : Well, you alright?

  Col. Steve Austin : Oh, everything is peachy senator, just peachy. Except I got this little problem.

  Senator Hill : What's that?

  Col. Steve Austin : I can't see.

• Senator Hill : [a blinded Steve Austin has just straightened out a bent propeller with his bare hands]  How's that, Senator, is it straight?

  Senator Hill : How did you do that?

  Col. Steve Austin : Well Senator, two years ago you got Oscar Goldman six million dollars for a secret project. I was that project.

  Senator Hill : But the strength in your arm...

  Col. Steve Austin : They gave me some expensive new parts. It comes in handy sometimes, for... well, like, repaying Oscar's old debts.

• Joe Lannon : Listen, Ed, this is really stupid. I don't want you to fly.

  Senator Hill : You sound like a broken record, you know that? Will you give me one good reason why I should not fly there myself?

  Joe Lannon : Let's get the hearing over with first. Why take chances? You're whole career is on the line.

  Senator Hill : Joe, you're afraid to fly with me, is that it?

  Joe Lannon : Are you fit to fly? That's the question.

  Senator Hill : Now let go of it. You've been sounding like an old lady ever since that accident. Right now you're convincing Austin that something's wrong here.

  [brightens up] 

  Senator Hill : Joe, go get your bag and get in the airplane!

• Senator Hill : [feeling very lucky and grateful to be alive, and knowing that Steve had a lot to do with it]  The best thing I ever did was to get Oscar Goldman that six million dollars.

  Col. Steve Austin : [knowing how vital the Senator's son, Greg, had also been in getting everyone back alive]  General, the best thing you ever did was RAISE A SON.
