- Col. Tom Sturgeon: Where do I get off asking the Regular Army for help with a bunch of oversize grasshoppers?
- Gen. John T. Short: Dr. Wainright, you're a scientist, you know what grasshoppers can do. I'm a soldier, I know what guns can do.
- Audrey Aimes: I don't understand?
- Dr. Ed Wainwright: Well another words; when we hit the correct sound or signal the grasshopper will react to it and the polygraph will record the change! Now you notice how steady and regular the needle is now! Well when we reproduce the grasshoppers call the lines will become longer and highly irregular!
- Audrey Aimes: Like a lie detector test isn't it?
- Dr. Ed Wainwright: Ah ha! But its the first time that a grasshopper ever got one!
