- Theodore J. Matheson: You drive a hard bargain. But if your device tests out under these conditions I specify, yes, you will have the money and a new identity in whatever country you like. You have the breathing device with you?
- Col. Steve Austin: You'll see it when we agree on terms.
- Theodore J. Matheson: What a price. That should be quite a site.
- Col. Steve Austin: It's only a gadget, but it works. It's sell-able.
- Theodore J. Matheson: Do you have it here?
- Col. Steve Austin: Well, the breathing device is the only thing involving the principle your buying. It's small enough to smuggle out of the OSI.
- Theodore J. Matheson: Would you like to give me an idea of the principle involved?
- Col. Steve Austin: Would you like to give me 5 million in gold?
- Theodore J. Matheson: That's a great deal of gold.
- Col. Steve Austin: Well, it's a great deal of principle.
- Theodore J. Matheson: All right. It will be here when you complete the test.
- Col. Steve Austin: When will that be?
- Theodore J. Matheson: Uh, this afternoon after the park closes. I have a few arrangements to make, including the gold. Will that be agreeable to you?
- Col. Steve Austin: Fine. As for an idea of what's involved, uh... it's unlimited power. But the conversion is the real secret.
- Theodore J. Matheson: Do you mean nuclear fusion?
- Col. Steve Austin: That's right, Mr. Matheson. The ocean is one vast, untapped, and unlimited power source.
