Quotable quotes

by **FlicCity** » Wed Jul 28, 2004 1:55 pm

My favourite quote would have to be Captain Blue's response to Colonel White shooting the plane he was flying:
"Well, old buddy, they did it. They smashed the radio."
On a slightly different note, is it just me, or should Captains Ochre and Blue be extremely grateful that Captain Magenta never finds out what they said during the mysteronised champagne incident? Especially Blue's line, "I've always wanted to be a pilot, ever since I can remember." While he's at the controls of the plane. (I cannot for the life of me remember what that episode's title was...)

And the comment about how awful the tune was? It seems to be the only tune in the entire Captain Scarlet universe! I could swear that the same tune gets played on the radio when the space station is being aimed at Cloudbase (White as Snow), and when that mechanic is being crushed by Captain Black (Manhunt)...

The episode is Flight to Atlantica and the music that Blue is enjoying so much in the cockpit of the plane is an instrumental version of The Dangerous Game' - which was used in the the Thunderbirds episode - The Cham Cham - in which Lady Penelope sings :roll:

The White as Snow music played by the doomed Satellite radio staion is 'White as Snow'....

The Angels show their appreciation of Gerry Anderson's taste in music....

Thanks, Marion. I guess I don't have a very good ear for music - I really did think it was the same tune every time...

"THE MYSTERONS HAVE POWERS WE CAN'T HOPE TO UNDERSTAND..."

WE BELIEVE THE EARTHMAN CAPTAIN SCARLET UNDERSTOOD THE TRUTH IN "MODEL SPY"...[/i]

"At the appointed hour as the clock is chiming the wings of the world will be clipped..." That was such a good Mysteron threat, it sounded so cool and well-written.

And when Colonel White worked out what they meant, he THEN decided it was all too obvious... but it took them all long enough! :wink:

My current favourite is from Attack on Cloudbase....

It's easy to be brave when you're indestructable.
He has a good point there.

Other fave lines...

Not a line as such, but L.Green's dialogue as Rhapsody is killed is just wonderful.
Oh and his line in Manhunt 'use your intiative they say' [muttered] hehe standing up the colonel.

'You're spectrum aren't you?'
No they're the Brownies. :roll:

You know I'm right Adam
Actually I hate this line, okay Scarlet has his best intrests at heart, but there's no need to be so patronising.

I've gotta few but my current fav one is:

Well old buddy, they've smashed the radio

by **Scarlet Lady** » Fri Dec 10, 2004 10:43 am

Ooh! Ooh! I have one!

Colonel White - Is that chair to your liking, Captain? No, don't get up.

Captain Scarlet - Yes, Sir... uh... no, Sir...

:-D

White as Snow, when Colonel White enters the Control Room to find Green and Scarlet listening to music, while Scarlet lounges in HIS chair, at HIS desk.

Already been said but still:

"Tis is an operational base, not a rest centre!"

Why should Magenta not find out?

He'd probably never let them hear the end of it.

I've found some more great quotes too ...

Seek and destroy
Lieutenant Green: "The three Angel aircraft and the warehouse were completely destroyed."
Colonel White: "There's no doubt?"
One would imagine it to be fairly obvious if three planes had gone up in smoke.

Colonel White: "I don't like it Lieutenant. I have a feeling this is the work of The Mysterons."
Can't think why.

Avalanche
Ward - "I want some action and fast!"
So I believe do the audience. This is also wide open to [dirty minded] misinterpretation.

Winged assasin
Colonel White: "Lieutenant Green plan B is operational. Launch all Angels."
Did they actually have a plan A, or is he just saying that to sound professional.

Flight to Atlantica
White: "Well, who did you expect?"
Err any of the other 500 odd people supposedly on the base.

Manhunt
Mysterons: "Our retaliation will be slow - but none the less effective."
I love how that last part is added quickly, as if it were an after thought.

White: "The Mysterons have made their first mistake."
No, that would be always telling you what they're going to do.

Yet more from Attack on Cloudbase
Colonel White: "Captain, if ever we do get out of this alive... Get your hair cut, will you!?"

Captain Blue: "You don't understand Colonel. He's really dead. Permanent. Final. Absolutely dead."
Not just a little bit dead then?

You got that off the Supermarionation is Go! site, din't you, Sage? :wink:

Argh yeah you go me

I liked the quotes anyway, but just tried to find the exact words.

"Do I get a coconut?" Lt Green - Crater 101
