Arthur Nordlund : [in the human testing lab at the Institute] Tell me, is the pain really that intense?
Jim Tanner : We almost hit the limit just now.
Arthur Nordlund : You mean from just a small spot over the forehead?
Jim Tanner : It's not the size of the exposure, Mr. Nordlund. Size has nothing to do with it. In fact, uh, two areas of pain are no more intense than one.

Arthur Nordlund : [in the human testing lab at the Institute, looking at one of the test subjects, submerged in a tank with monitoring wires attached] How do you ever get them to do it?
Jim Tanner : Why, it's easy. See, they make more here in an hour than, uh, they can in serving student tables at a commissary for 3 weeks. Uh, have you ever served tables at a student commissary, Mr. Nordlund?
Arthur Nordlund : Yeah, I see what you mean.
