Quotes 

• Col. Steve Austin : Well thanks for the ride, Oscar. I'll try and forget the conversation.

  Oscar Goldman : This conversation's not over yet, Steve. I asked you to give a guy a break. I think you're entitled to know why. The fact is: I owe Senator Edward Hill, and so do you.

  Col. Steve Austin : How?

  Oscar Goldman : Two years ago, I needed six million dollars for a very special project. He ran that money through the senate appropriations committee with no questions asked because he respected my need for secrecy. To this day he doesn't know where that money went.

  Col. Steve Austin : I see. So I'm in the Senator's debt.

  [sighs] 

  Col. Steve Austin : Well, there's not much I can do about it.

• Senator Hill : [having just crash landed a private plane]  God knows where we are, but we're alive.

  [turns to Steve Austin] 

  Senator Hill : Well, you alright?

  Col. Steve Austin : Oh, everything is peachy senator, just peachy. Except I got this little problem.

  Senator Hill : What's that?

  Col. Steve Austin : I can't see.

• Senator Hill : [a blinded Steve Austin has just straightened out a bent propeller with his bare hands]  How's that, Senator, is it straight?

  Senator Hill : How did you do that?

  Col. Steve Austin : Well Senator, two years ago you got Oscar Goldman six million dollars for a secret project. I was that project.

  Senator Hill : But the strength in your arm...

  Col. Steve Austin : They gave me some expensive new parts. It comes in handy sometimes, for... well, like, repaying Oscar's old debts.

• Senator Hill : [feeling very lucky and grateful to be alive, and knowing that Steve had a lot to do with it]  The best thing I ever did was to get Oscar Goldman that six million dollars.

  Col. Steve Austin : [knowing how vital the Senator's son, Greg, had also been in getting everyone back alive]  General, the best thing you ever did was RAISE A SON.

• Col. Steve Austin : [Col. Austin realizes who A1C Denby is]  TOWER!
