Jonny Quest Versus the Cyber Insects (1995 TV Movie)

Don Messick: Dr. Benton Quest

Quotes 

• Jonny Quest : We failed, haven't we, Chief Atacama?

  Chief Atacama : Many do not pass the Orinokon test of manhood the first time.

  Jonny Quest : But we overcame every obstacle! We reached the sacred circle!

  Chief Atacama : And then you ignored your friend's warning. Do you see the lesson in this? You were headstrong and impulsive, Jonny Quest. Before a child may enter the circle of adults, he must first learn the virtues of patience and caution.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Easier said than done, Chief Atacama. Whatever my son may be, he's never been patient. Or cautious.

• Dr. Benton C. Quest : These climatic anomalies are not limited to equatorial latitudes. It's too warm in Greenland, too dry in England.

  Hadji : [as his turban is almost blown off]  And too windy in Mexico!

• Dr. Zin : Take the prisoners to the station's cargo bay, but not Quest and Belage. I have plans for them.

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Something unpleasant, no doubt.

  Dr. Zin : Not at all, Dr. Quest. As compensation for your space station, I'd merely like to offer you and the brilliant Dr. Belage a tour of my asteroid fortress.

  Dr. Eve Belage : Do we have any choice?

  Dr. Zin : Not really.

• 4-DAC : Though your plans seem sound on the surface, Dr. Zin, your logic is actually quite specious.

  Dr. Zin : Specious?

  4-DAC : Yes. Quite. Processing and storing large quantities of ethynol in this manner is extremely dangerous. You would be better advised to store it in closed containers.

  Dr. Zin : Oh, shut up.

  [Zin hits 4-DAC, causing him to switch off] 

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : 4-DAC!

  Dr. Zin : You know, Quest, your robot's most endearing feature is his off switch.

• Race Bannon : A series of high-pressure storm systems blanketing the world! Impossible!

  Jessie Kenyon : Not if something hot was creating a strong convection current in one of the three principle jet streams.

  Jonny Quest : Oh, sure, a volcano is doing all this. Or how about a forest fire?

  Dr. Benton C. Quest : Don't be so quick to criticize, Jonny. Any reasonable theory must be explored, and Jessie's suggestion is quite reasonable.

• Dr. Benton C. Quest : [as Zin prepares to shoot down Quest Shuttle 2]  Listen to me, Zin, you have no reason to destroy the shuttle! This asteroid is invisible to them!

  427 : He's right, sir. Our base is cloaked with the finest stealth technology.

  426 : Quest Team will never find us.

  Dr. Zin : True, but how can I pass up a chance to rid myself of Race Bannon and the ever-annoying Quest Team?

• Dr. Benton C. Quest : Fight it, Eve! We must maintain independence from the computer!

  Dr. Zin : How shall I put it? Resistance is... a waste of time.
