Quotes 

• [Wade and Collins finish the routine check of their atomic plant in the Sahara Desert] 

  Reactor Controller Collins : Finished the routine check?

  Reactor Controller Wade : Yep. All completed.

  Reactor Controller Collins : [looks outside the window at the results]  Oh, it's fantastic, isn't it? Not so long ago, this whole area was a desert. And now look at it.

  Reactor Controller Wade : Well, that's the idea of the scheme: Process the sea and oceans with atomic energy and fresh water, and then pump it out into the earth's deserts.

  Reactor Controller Collins : And this whole section handled by just the two of us.

  Reactor Controller Wade : Yep, just the two of us. And one fully automated atomic station.

• [the Hood has stolen the Mighty Atom - a camera hidden inside a radio-controlled mouse - and believes it contains photographs of the Thunderbird machines] 

  The Hood : [triumphantly]  At last, I have the information I require. And now, the secrets of International Rescue!

  [the Hood turns the projector on] 

  The Hood : [in shock]  I don't believe it!

  [the projector shows photographs of Lady Penelope screaming at the mouse] 

  The Hood : [thumping the mouse]  You stupid, foolish, idiotic failure!
