Quotable quotes

But despite everything, we all just love them.

I love that scene when Blue accidentally knocks Scarlet's glass out of his hand, and Scarlet isn't bothered by it.

"So, the Mysterons are going to destroy Cloudbase"
said in a wonderfully perky voice by Cptn Blue, much the same as if they had been invited out to a picnic.

"Alright, we're coming to take you."

Captain Blue to Breck in Shadow Of Fear.

There is one scene (quite long) that I really enjoy - from Renegade Rocket.

Well, you must be feeling very pleased with yourselves?
Well, yessir; we did save the base.
You did not save the base. Naval frogmen found the flight programme unit near the wreckage of Reeves's jet, at the bottom of the sea. The codeword was 'zero'. Where were you up to?
errrmmm
Amen, sir.
Very appropriate; but a long way from zero.
and then after telling the two heroes off, the colonel dismisses them. Lieutenant Green, who must not have been paying attention or he'd never have asked, says:
Will they be court-martialled, sir?
and the colonel, obviously cheesed off with the lot of them, replies:
No; but one more question like that, Lieutenant, and you will be.

Poor old chap - what he has to put up with :wink:

The Intensity Angel wondered:

Intensity Angel wrote:"What's Captain Scarlet's problem about Manchester anyway?"

The line only says, "But you could hardly call it 'the place of the angels.'" It may be argued that it had probably left out, "Remember, Manchester was also the boyhood home of Captain Black. That is, before we lost him to the Mysterons."

"There is no need to see me, Mr. Metcalfe."

"That voice!"

Source: "Special Assignment," after Captain Scarlet is supposedly cashiered for gambling away $5000 (that's right, five thousand dollars) he does not have.

Parker Gabriel said: Manchester was also the boyhood home of Captain Black. That is, before we lost him to the Mysterons."

We don't know where Black grew up - we only know he went to study in Manchester aged 15 - he might have gone there from anywhere in the UK (or even out of it, at a price). People often move away from home to continue their education.

Parker Gabriel said: Captain Scarlet is supposedly cashiered for gambling away $5000 (that's right, five thousand dollars)

Just to clarify: the episode does not specify any particular currency - it merely says 'Five thousand' - it might be an as yet unknown World Currency... although to be fair, if the casino is in America (as it appears to be) the chances are it is dollars.

And that's exactly where the Dice Club, the casino identified in "Special Assignment," is--not far from Nuclear City, Nevada, United States!!

That still doesn't change that fact that the name of the currency is very carefully NOT mentioned. :wink:

True enough. How often do you find SF doing its most to avoid touching on the question of money?

Sorry, but this will never get the better of me,

"A talk on MONKEYS?!"

How more random can you get?

The line I use in my signature, whenever I insert the same.

Colonel White: "Captain Scarlet is indestructible. You are NOT. Remember this. DO NOT TRY TO IMITATE HIM!!!"

That came from an alternate introduction to the program's installments, one that tended to be missing from the American transmissions.

"Ah peace."

From the episode Spectrum Strikes Back. Scarlet says it and it always makes me laugh.

by **Sasha Metcalfe** » Thu Nov 05, 2009 4:54 am

"A trap, but why? Why?"

um, because they are mysterons and they hate you??????

From "The Heart Of New York:"

"That accident was faked."

--Captain Scarlet in the aftermath of the thieves's successful evasion of detection; they had pretended to be Mysteron agents but had registered as Earthmen on the detectors.

Granted, a lame quotation; but I have had few occasions to post of late and have had fewer chances to improve.
