Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Major Morovik : If you are not a spy, why were you flying over Czech territory?

  Captain Barrow : How many times do I have to tell you? I got off my course, ran out of fuel and had to crash-land.

  Major Morovik : A very convenient explanation.

  Captain Barrow : It wasn't very convenient for me.

• Captain Barrow : The only information I'll give you is my name, rank and serial number - and I insist you notify the United States Air Force.

  Major Morovik : I already have, Captain.

  Captain Barrow : Good. Then leave me alone.

  Major Morovik : Your headquarters has been officially advised that you were killed in the plane crash. You know longer exist, Captain Barrow. Shall we talk?

• Major Morovik : Your performance is not very convincing. Suppose you drop the act.

  Biff Baker : Then suppose you tell me where my wife is!

  Major Morovik : In Germany, of course. She crossed the border this morning with a man carrying your passport. You exchanged places with Captain...

  Biff Baker : Go on, Morovik. Captain who?

  Major Morovik : With a prisoner of my government.

  Biff Baker : You weren't going to say "Captain Barrow" were you? It must have been a slip of the tongue. You couldn't accuse me of changing places with a dead man, could you?

• Major Morovik : I'm afraid I will not be able to oblige you.

  Biff Baker : You better think it over.

  Major Morovik : I have thought it over. Our records show that Biff Baker and his wife left Czechoslovakia today.

  Biff Baker : Now wait a minute...

  Major Morovik : How could I possibly arrange for an exit visa when I don't even know who you are, Mister -Mister Whatever-your-name-is.
