- 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.
